Atlas Academia Sport Facility / Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos

Sordo Madaleno has designed a new home for one of Mexico's longest-lived football teams, Atlas FC, based in Guadalajara. Called Academia Atlas, the building serves six professional football fields and includes clubhouses, applied sport science facilities, and administrative offices. A key role of the project is to offer accommodation and resources to young players from less privileged backgrounds. Using locally-sourced materials and embracing traditional construction techniques, Sordo Madaleno worked with Atlas FC and Orlegi Sports to transform the seven-hectare site into a collegiate-style campus full of vibrant, young, and healthy people connecting through the most popular sport in the country.

Designing the Future, Again: What the 55-Year Return of the World Expo to Osaka Reveals

The 2025 Osaka Expo has captured widespread attention—not only for its architectural ambition and spectacle, but also for breaking records and generating controversy. Its most iconic feature, a monumental timber ring designed by Sou Fujimoto, has already made headlines as a Guinness World Record-breaking wooden structure. Built on the reclaimed island of Yumeshima, the site has attracted praise and critique in equal measure. Beyond its awe-inspiring 2-kilometer circumference—parts of which extend dramatically over the water—the structure has also drawn concerns, including questions about health & safety, extreme heat, and swarms of insects that may affect the visitor experience.

Pha Hún School / 1+1>2 Architects

Nestled quietly among the rugged mountains, Pha Hún is home to scattered H'Mông communities living on steep rocky slopes. Harsh living conditions and difficult access have left local children studying in severely deteriorated, makeshift wooden classrooms—unsafe and unsuitable for teaching and learning. For years, a well-built, fully equipped school has remained a distant dream for the villagers.
