The Makers’ KUbe is designed by the architects at Bjarke Ingels as a monumental 50,000-square-foot structure built with mass timber. The diagrid frame, engineered by StructureCraft, utilizes tight-fit dowels and glulam beams to create a strong, all-wood structure. This approach minimizes carbon-intensive concrete and showcases traditional Japanese joinery techniques. The building’s stripped-back facade features a mix of transparent and opaque glass, offering glimpses of the building’s inner workings and showcasing the creativity within. Biodegradable hemp-wool insulation provides thermal performance, further emphasizing the KUbe’s commitment to sustainability.

Here, the brushwork creates figurative elements readily recognizable from afar but, when viewed up close, dissolve into the materiality of oil paint. Tonal variations in one color give way to interwoven schemes of colors, often with more than 30 types of bright pigments in one image. The installation provides an in-depth glimpse into his command of the medium, his wet-on-wet technique, and the emphasis on the sheer materiality of paint that defines his work. In a world now inundated with AI-rendered images, Zeng challenges viewers to recognize the superiority of painting as a time-honored art and craft.

French artist JR has unveiled his monumental public installation, La Nascita, just outside Milan Central Station. The installation features a series of printed images of rock formations meticulously applied onto aluminum slats. On display from April 9th to May 1st, 2024, La Nascita marks JR’s inaugural venture into sculptural anamorphosis, departing from his traditional medium of paper and glue. In a conversation with designboom , JR discusses how the concept of anamorphosis, with its potential for distorted images and optical illusions, has long intrigued him and influenced his artistic practice. Birgit Lohmann and Massimo Mini, founders and former directors of designboom, presented an exhibition exploring new societal models through art, architecture, and design.
The Colburn Center will be equipped to take a modern approach to multi-media technology and production. The facilities include commercial-quality recording and streaming capabilities, and performance spaces will be outfitted with state-of-the-art lighting. Public spaces include an outdoor plaza, giving visitors a front-row seat to the performing arts, and gardens which provide much-needed green space and pedestrian access to nearby public transit hubs. Preserving existing buildings and using low-carbon timber construction minimizes the project’s environmental impact. Additionally, rooftop photovoltaic panels generate clean energy, while a rainwater harvesting system reduces the reliance on municipal water. The Makers’ KUbe joins BIG’s growing portfolio of innovative educational spaces, including UMass Amherst’s Isenberg Innovation Hub and the upcoming Johns Hopkins University Student Center and Claremont McKenna College’s Robert Day Sciences Center.
Once the museum is complete, this Oculus will serve as a central meeting point for visitors as it penetrates all gallery spaces across all levels of the building. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) pushes the boundaries of sustainable architecture with the Bio-Block Spiral, unveiled at the Chicago Architecture Biennial. This innovative pavilion showcases a groundbreaking material — algae-based bio-concrete — developed in collaboration with Prometheus Materials. Bio-Blocks have the potential to revolutionize the industry by offering a zero-carbon alternative to conventional concrete blocks. This translates to a significant reduction in carbon footprint, with the Bio-Block Spiral itself eliminating one metric ton of CO2 emissions compared to traditional construction.
This simple volume was then manipulated, informed by its adjacencies to the historical buildings on the site. To the west, the building slopes away from the existing temple, to create a thoughtful buffer while framing a new courtyard between the two buildings. The pavilion leans south, away from the historic school, opening an existing courtyard to the sky to bring in light. Meanwhile, it reaches out toward the main urban corridor, wilshire boulevard, to establish a new urban presence. The production process itself is eco-friendly, utilizing heat activation and solar power, with plans for a closed-loop recycling system in the future.
Through collaborative efforts, the event delved into the complexities of contemporary domesticity, fostering dialogue on the evolving role of the home in modern society. Milan-based Japanese designer Keiji Takeuchi presents walking sticks & canes, an exhibition of 18 international designers in the Quadreria space at Triennale Milano during Milan Design Week 2024. As the title suggests it, the curator takes on the world of walking aids to unpack their history and relatively broad definition, which underwent unique evolutions in different eras. To do so, Takeuchi invites eighteen designers from around the globe to showcase a a variety of examples that question what walking sticks and canes represent in our lives.
The 2024 edition of the Award continues to celebrate outstanding design solutions that tackle contemporary challenges.
