In the French city of Strasbourg, LAN (@lan_architecture) has completed the Saint-Urbain block, a mixed-use development of eight buildings in various bright colours, comprising housing (including both social and intermediate rent), office space, a hotel and shops.
Many of the colours relate to local built heritage: the olive yellow is a pastel found in the historic city centre, the brown references the Strasbourg Cathedral, and the pink is taken from the neighbouring facades of the Neudorf district.

'To truly coexist with nature and end the destruction of our planet is a design challenge,' argues @parley.tv founder @cyrillgutsch. 'It means we have to leave behind toxic materials, systems and products whose damage we can’t justify any longer.' Read Gutsch's opinion piece on our website now (link in bio).

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

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.
