CORTEN STEEL CONDUITS FRAME REVERSIBLE UNDERGROUND structurePositioned at an altitude of 2,173 meters at the Pavillon intermediate station of the Skyway Monte Bianco cableway in Aosta Valley, Italy, Tana delle Marmotte (Marmot Den) is a permanent underground educational installation designed by architecture practice Officina 82. Conceived as an experiential learning environment for children and teenagers, the project combines play with environmental education by translating the subterranean habitat of Alpine marmots into a modular architecture integrated directly into the mountain landscape.all images ©Giulia SarnoSPRUCE RIBS FORM MODULAR TUNNEL INSPIRED BY MARMOT BURROWSThe pavilion’s primary structural shell consists of three prefabricated Corten steel conduits: an 8-meter-long central tube paired with two transverse access pipes measuring 2,200 mm and 1,300 mm in diameter. To preserve the high-altitude ecosystem, the structure by studio Officina 82 rests on a bed of fine gravel without permanent concrete foundations, ensuring complete structural reversibility.

AA Apartments reuse open-plan commercial space in MálagaDesigned by CREARCTIVE, AA Apartments addresses the adaptive reuse of a former open-plan commercial space in Málaga, converting the premises into four independent residential units. To make full use of the building’s four-meter clear height, the interior layout works in section, utilizing a centralized service spine that frees the perimeter and accommodates a mezzanine level above.living area | all images ©Nicolás DíazCLERESTORIES AND GEOMETRIC OCULUS DISTRIBUTE CROSS-LIGHTINGThe central core houses the compact wet and utility functions, including bathrooms, kitchen areas, walk-in closets, storage, and MEP services, enabling unimpeded air circulation and visual continuity across the entire depth of each apartment. Above this service volume, the architects at CREARCTIVE add a flexible mezzanine to serve as a multi-use loft space. A geometric oculus cut into the partition wall establishes a diagonal light connection between the mezzanine and the double-height living area, channeling light toward the rear bedroom zone.

Demonstrators are upending the country’s public landmarks to denounce police violence, under-resourced schools, and a worsening cost-of-living crisis.

After a short entry about me mysteriously appeared, anonymous users who were seemingly men debated whether I was “credible enough” to justify my own page. Laura June Kirsch at the launch of her book Romantic Lowlife Fantasies: Emerging Adults In The Age of Hope in 2021 (all images courtesy Laura June Kirsch)Back in February, I got a Google Alert that somebody had made a Wikipedia page about me. I immediately texted my mom. She was confused — was it a good thing? Who makes these pages? She’d heard mixed things about Wikipedia. While her suspicion over enthusiasm was initially disappointing, she had a point. I moved into detective mode and asked a techy friend I had recently met through a cyberpunk friend: “Did you make this?”He did not. However, he was able to find the source that did, who appeared to be some man who wrote numerous Wikipedia pages mostly about female artists. The bio he’d written for me was simple: “Laura June Kirsch is an American photographer known for her work documenting music, nightlife and alternative subcultures.

In piano parlance, an étude is a technically tricky piece of music typically practiced to push a musician beyond their limits. Following that logic, the name of Florentina Holzinger’s final Venice Biennale performance, CLOSING ÉTUDE, suggests that after seven months of her propriety-imploding, waste-wonderland SEAWORLD VENICE, there are feats of endurance still ahead. Part performance, part installation, SEAWORLD VENICE opened at the Austrian Pavilion in May with the piercing peal of a colossal bell salvaged from the Venice Lagoon. In line with her body-first philosophy, a nude Holzinger served as its human clapper. The bell, sans artist, continues to mark the passage of time, ringing every hour over the pavilion and its guests, a grotesque altar to the ongoing Venetian apocalypse. Human refuse (freshly sourced) and lagoon waste, the sort that occasionally washes in with the high tide, form the material of her installation. Visitors were encouraged to use port-a-potties on site; the urine was filtered into a dunk tank.
