Twobo pigmented the concrete to match the oxidised soil of Matadepera — then kept an excavated boulder in the wall. Casa Sota la Mola doesn't hide in the landscape. It earns it. urdesignmag.com/twobo-casa-sot…

@FosterPartners opened Jia Art in Shanghai — a gallery whose form derives from a flower found in the park across the street. The smallest building in the Changfeng masterplan is its most important. urdesignmag.com/foster-partner…

Bush-hammered concrete and light green expanded metal at Passo Pordoi. Mimeus Architettura built a gondola station that neither hides nor shouts — it just belongs. urdesignmag.com/mimeus-archite…

Three concrete walls and a narrow gap. Atelier Carle's SONO Residence in Quebec builds privacy not through walls but through sequence — two friends, one house, enough distance to make proximity a choice. urdesignmag.com/atelier-carle-…

@JRart turns the Pont Neuf into a 120-metre cave of Lutetian stone. Free, 24/7, June 6–28 in Paris. Forty years after Christo wrapped it — now it cracks open. urdesignmag.com/jr-la-caverne-…

A protected 1920s house on the Rijn. A bar, a wellness suite, a wine room, a boathouse. Studio Modijefsky added 405 square metres without dissolving what made the original worth preserving. urdesignmag.com/studio-modijef…

A bent taxi. A looping red car. A bouquet of traffic lights. Alex Chinneck's 14 sculptures for House of Dior New York and Beverly Hills turn city infrastructure into something closer to couture. urdesignmag.com/alex-chinneck-…

A single overhead skylight casts a sharp, slowly moving beam of daylight across the brick floor, marking the passage of hours without the distraction of a changing horizon at Norm Architects' Shoreline Studio. urdesignmag.com/norm-architect… #NormArchitects #ShorelineStudio

A raw concrete monolith meets an organic terracotta heart. PPAA’s Casa Plan de Barrancas in Mexico City uses structural mass as an urban shield, freeing the interior floor plan to dissolve entirely into the rear garden. urdesignmag.com/ppaa-casa-plan… #Architecture #PPAA #Brutalism
