Colombian architecture studio Colab-19 (@colab19_arq) delivered a temporary cross-shaped church structure for the Easter weekend in Bogotá. Named Alhambra’s Cross, the structure was devised in response to restrictions on religious gatherings due to the Covid-19 pandemic and rising case numbers across Colombia. Made using a recycled formwork system – typically used to cast concrete slabs for construction – the open-air 'interior' is shaped by white mosquito nets.

The six-storey, red brick building replaces a low-rise car park. In its design, the development draws inspiration from the local, historic, domestic architecture of the neighbourhood.

4a Architekten (@4a_architekten_stuttgart) has completed the large-scale renovation of Mineralbad Berg in Stuttgart, the city's oldest mineral spa and swimming baths. Most of its existing architecture was designed in the 1950s but was dilapidated; one of the biggest challenges for 4a was striking the right balance between preservation, renewal and additions. The new tiled wall in the bathing hall, developed in collaboration with Stuttgart artist Matthias Kohlmann, takes inspiration from original detailing while integrating new decoration.

In the Bavarian town of Berching in Germany, local practice Kühnlein Architektur has delivered a new culture hall.
Nestled in the heart of the historic old town, the culture hall project includes a new outdoor public space and a redesigned riverside. With a steep gabled roof, the new building reinterprets the vernacular language of traditional barns for contemporary purposes. The timber used to construct the building came exclusively from the town’s own forest. Read the full story on our website now (link in bio). Photograph courtesy of Kühnlein Architektur

At a busy intersection in Forest, a southern district of Brussels, a new cultural and sports complex by local practice @b_architecten has been delivered across two buildings, along with a new public space.
The two buildings replace plots which had been left vacant since the construction of the nearby Albert metro station. Named Centr’Al, the complex comprises three sports halls, an auditorium, a restaurant and a roof garden, and is intended as an open, welcoming space for use by the local neighbourhood and wider city.
