Recently receiving a High Commendation at the UN-Habitat–UIA 2030 Award in the category “Access to Green and Public Space,” Bhoomija Creations’ Śhālā Twam in Thrippunithara, Kochi, has emerged as a powerful example of architecture rooted in inclusivity, climate responsiveness, and community life.

In this reel, architect Manasi Puliyappatta of Bhoomija Creations speaks about the ideas, site conditions, and spatial thinking that shaped the project, from building around existing mango trees to creating a shared cultural space where yoga, performance, craft, and everyday gathering could coexist naturally.

"The intention was to create architecture that breathes with the climate,” Guruprasad Rane of Bhoomija Creations explained. “Shade, wind movement, filtered light, and thermal comfort became primary design tools rather than technological additions.”

Curated by Hunn Wai with assistant curator Eian Siew and supported by global perspectives advisor Maria Cristina Didero, Prototype Island marks a significant new direction for Singapore’s presence at Milan Design Week.

Oman’s pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale invites visitors into a sensory world shaped by sand, silver, sound, and memory. Titled Zīnah (Adornment), the installation by artist-curator Haitham Al Busafi draws from the Omani tradition of adorning horses with silver, transforming it into an immersive spatial experience that speaks of care, dignity, and connection.

In our interview with the curator, Al Busafi reflects on adornment as an ethical act and explains how the pavilion moves beyond spectacle to create resonance through movement, material, and shared presence. A quietly powerful contribution to the 2026 Venice Biennale.
