With their compact “neo-half-timbered house” in the Bavarian Forest, Buero Kofink Schels explore how low-cost housing can radically reduce CO₂ emissions. Built almost entirely without cement, adhesives or membranes, the timber house combines natural stone point foundations, hemp-lime insulation and prefabricated elements into a pioneering model for resource-conscious residential construction....Find out more at www.detail.de and in our upcoming June issue.

In the Portuguese town of Leiria, a renovated early 20th-century townhouse meets a clearly structured four-storey addition with a fan-shaped floor plan. Located at a busy roundabout on the edge of the historic centre, the building presents a curved street-facing façade that alternates precast concrete panels with floor-to-ceiling sliding windows.

Documented in our May issue: LAVA (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture) Parametric Mashrabiyya in Riyadh >> https://inspiration.detail.de/en/article/kacst-innovation-tower-in-riyadh-12786?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=AFF0116

Two kilometre high skyscrapers, The Line and eleven new stadiums for the 2034 World Cup currently shape the image of Saudi Arabia. At the same time, many mega projects are slowing down. This makes the KACST Innovation Tower in Riyadh all the more significant. Designed by LAVA, the office tower combines sustainable construction, traditional typologies and innovative working environments into a model for architecture in the desert.

https://www.detail.de/de_en/fassadenkongress-2026?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=fassadenkongress26

Join us for the DETAIL Facade Congress 2026 and explore the future of facade design.
The facade is one of the most defining elements of architecture — shaping not only buildings, but entire cityscapes, neighbourhoods, and interior experiences.
Together with leading experts, we will discuss:
• Which new materials and technologies are transforming facade design?
• How can we combine aesthetics, energy efficiency, and recyclability?
• How can facades act as adaptive envelopes that enhance interior spaces?

One of the featured projects: The new extension of the Bauhaus Archiv by Staab Architekten. By adding large new exhibition spaces to Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus-Archiv, the project strengthens the institution’s urban presence through a slender glass entrance tower placed next to the start of the original architectural promenade. While the historic building remains visually untouched, most of the museum’s public functions are concentrated in this highly visible new landmark, defined by an experimental bearing structure that reflects the Bauhaus’ open and interactive approach today.

Expect inspiring presentations and real-world insights from innovative international projects like this.

Documented in our May issue: Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi by Foster + Partners >> https://inspiration.detail.de/de/artikel/zayed-national-museum-in-abu-dhabi-12784?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=AFF0116

Five falcon wings rising up to 123 metres define the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi, creating a new national landmark. Inspired by nature and tradition, the design merges iconic architecture with sustainable strategies for daylight, shading, and natural ventilation. As part of the Saadiyat cultural district, the museum narrates the nation’s story from its origins to a knowledge-driven future. At the same time, the architecture stages a striking interplay of landscape, technology, and symbolism.
