From Icon 199: Katy Kelleher investigates permaculture, a gardening and agricultural practice that seeks to make land more productive by allowing nature to retake control. Adopted by urban farmers, designers, even tech-savvy futurists, it is already changing the way we design and nurture green spaces.

Despite lockdown measures being enforced and extended across much of the world, there are still some unexpected delights: Jaimie Shorten won the competition to design this year’s Antepavilion in East London, which will take form of shark sculptures floating on pontoons in the Regent’s Canal. Fitted with audio equipment, the sharks will ‘read out’ lectures about architecture and planning. For more weekly news, visit iconeye.com!

MoDusArchitects recently completed project - a new gateway to the small city of Bressanone, South Tyrol, in Italy - eschews the technical, functional design vocabulary typically offered up in the design of infrastructure.
.
Created as part of the Bressanone-Varna Ring Road, a series of connect, largely underground roads with the aim to reduce traffic volume, the mouth of this new tunnel is almost sculptural in form, thanks to its curvilinear design.
