A personal review of design creations
Tashkent Just Got Its Concrete Crown
Uzbekistan has just become the first country in Central Asia to see its twentieth-century architecture recognised by UNESCO, and Tashkent's modernist landmarks are now, officially, the youngest buildings on the World Heritage List.

Concrete convictions: how seven newly independent nations built their identity in glass and reinforced concrete — and why MoMA's latest show could not have landed at a more Instagram-ready moment.

Advent 2025: St Peter Church by Le Corbusier

Stop Four: Firminy, France.
Advent 2025: The Holy Redeemer
Over fifteen years in the making, this church is completely integrated in the transformation process of a neighbourhood of 670 homes.
Third stop: San Cristobal de la Laguna, Spain.
Zen Spaces

With 24 floors made up of suspended slabs enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass, Onze22 by TRIPTYQUE provides the experience of a scenic viewpoint.
