A Brutalism-inspired community-built mod for the classic video game Quake draws observations on architecture’s fixation on ease and passive inhabitation.

Activated through high-pressure encounters and vulnerable situations, where its massive scale and complex navigation place the body in hyperawareness.

As a result, the built environment demands that the body adjust to it, revealing an architecture that asserts control rather than accommodating it. Perhaps discomfort is not a flaw, but a condition architecture has chosen to avoid.

For the 'Working together' category of the BRICK AWARD 26 - focused on commercial, office and industrial buildings - the shortlist probes a tension between brick as symbol of tradition and brick as instrument of innovation.

From factory floors and substations to breweries, the shortlisted projects reveal how a material once associated with pre-industrial construction continues to find new purpose - contextual, tactile and quietly dignified - in the spaces where contemporary work unfolds.

What emerges is a compelling argument: that the most cohesive workspaces are not those that impose a sterile vocabulary, but those built with material honesty, craft and a clear-eyed understanding of place.

Flesh and Bones: The ArtScience Museum exhibition blends historical artefacts with contemporary art to explore the understanding of the human body.

The Art of Anatomy is presented as a rich continuum of seeing, sensing and imagining the body from its physical form to its hidden inner landscapes.

Leading with sensitivity, curiosity and humanity, the exhibition design invites viewers to think deeply about their relationship with their bodies, informed by culture and history.

K Studio's extension to the Dexamenes Seaview Hotel in Peloponnese draws from the site's layered past — a 19th-century wine factory, set on water for the loading of ships, abandoned when industry moved on. The new suites sit lightly atop this history, allowing the rawness of the original structure to persist as the extension negotiates between memory and comfort, between what was left behind and what it means to return.

Hurvin Anderson exhibits works spanning his over 20-year career - looping and shuffling through times and spaces, embracing overlaps, repetitions and blurs.
The exhibition includes more than 40 paintings, family photographs and newspaper clippings as England and the Caribbean, childhood and adulthood, departure and return layer over each other endlessly, creating lingering compositions that commit the foggy nostalgia of memory to canvas.

The CCD Tokyo Creative Center unfolds through the logic of ‘Engawa’ — the Japanese spatial principle of soft, negotiated spatial transition. Part archive, part laboratory, part urban lounge, tye building is CCD's attempt to materialise a dialogue between eastern restraint and western structural expression, asking whether a truly global design sensibility can be something more than compromise.

The impending thesis jury and the sleepless nights preceding this. The countless sheets, drafted in a catatonic state only for professors to reprimand you for forgetting the north on your presentation sheet.

In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones set in 1974 in the fictional National School of Architecture was screened once, late one night in 1989. Since then, ut circulated in fugitive circuits through recordings. Recently, the Film Heritage Foundation restored it in 4K with this version premiering at Berlinale - an event its screenwriter, Arundhati Roy, walked out of in protest against the organisation’s silence on Gaza.

The film hasn't changed. Everything around it has. Or hasn't - which is the point.

Architecture schools still show it to first-years. Nobody has agreed on whether it's a warning or an aspiration. That unease, we think, is the whole argument.

STIR reflects on what the restoration reveals - about architectural education, about institutions, and about the particular cruelty of returning to something that keeps failing you.

Can a forest take root in exposed concrete and glass? If so, can it still manage to breathe?

“In our view, a forest can absolutely take root in concrete and glass—if architecture is designed to respect natural rhythms rather than replace them.” - Pentaspace Design Studio

For the Heartfulness International School, the Indian architects approach institutional architecture as a pedagogical instrument, attempting to employ the built environment to shape children’s holistic growth and development.

The mushroom pavilion by OMA fosters the growth of fungi and local communities under its domed roof in Puerto Escondido.

The cave-like interior is divided into three zones---incubation, fruiting and storage---illuminated by natural light and ventilated by peripheral openings.

Its oblate design minimises impact on native vegetation, while inside, the steps serve a dual purpose: as shelves for mushroom growth and amphitheatre seating for hosting workshops and events.
