Coney Island, Brooklyn's iconic beachfront, is evolving. Upcoming developments blend its classic charm with sustainable practices, aiming for year-round activity, neighborhood growth, and environmental stability

The term DUMBO stands for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass," and the area has evolved from an industrial waterfront into Brooklyn's leading eco-friendly neighborhood.

This week, we’d like to highlight the key takeaways from the 2025 edition of ICFF.

With the world’s population expanding and the need for food rising, it becomes crucial to adopt innovative farming methods. An interesting idea involves transforming existing structures into farming spaces through agriculture-based architecture.

When we talk about sustainable design, the conversation often centers on what we see, natural surfaces, energy-efficient lighting, and the reuse of materials like wood. 

But what about what we hear? Sound is a powerful, yet often overlooked element in how we experience a space.

Have you ever wanted to explore a place before it's constructed in real life? That's where Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) come into play. These advanced technologies can transform plans into interactive experiences.

The modern work environment has driven traditional offices into a period of transformation. Fixed layouts are being replaced by flexible, collaborative spaces designed to support today’s working styles, including remote and hybrid models.

Regenerative architecture plays a vital role. This emerging concept urges the sector to go beyond sustainability and focus on developing environments that rejuvenate and revive ecosystems, communities, and the environment itself.

When it comes to architecture and interior design, restaurant design specifically differs from retail design, due to its distinct needs and goals.

Growing environmental awareness has created an essential transformation in the high-end furniture market, which has historically represented luxury alongside extended product longevity.

Urban areas function as dynamic systems because they persistently grow and reshape themselves.

Located on the Upper West Side of NYC at 201 West 83rd Street, there is a small, cozy café that has a special place in the hearts of movie lovers and especially New Yorkers.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly finding its way into different areas of life, including architecture. Recent studies show that while the use of AI tools is still quite limited among architectural professionals, more and more of them are willing to try it.

Algae, widely recognized for its rapid growth and ability to absorb carbon dioxide, is now being transformed into a variety of eco-friendly building materials.

In the effort to design more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly structures, architects are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern recognition to assist in the selection of building materials.

Sustainability today is more than just a buzzword—it’s a necessity for the future of our planet.

With the acceleration of climate change come increasing challenges for our man-made structures.

It’s evident that the transport sector remains one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions, responsible for nearly 25% of the world’s CO₂ output.

As the building sector faces increasing climate-related challenges, the built environment is under greater pressure than ever.

Sustainable building certifications have become increasingly common in promoting environmentally responsible construction—not just in design, but also in construction and operation.
