• MARKET
  A lamp in the shape of an extraterrestrial rock. 3D-printed concrete made from corn waste. Circular solutions inspired by cutting-edge science. We share the products defining the market today.
• OUTDOOR ORIENTATION
  Using architecture as a lens through which the outdoors is experienced, SAOTA designed a pavilion for YARDCOM as a continuous living landscape that dissolved the boundaries between built environment, nature and object.
• HIDDEN INNOVATION
  With its new smart toilet, Spanish bathroom manufacturer Roca integrates technology and aesthetics in equal measure.
• ELEMENTAL GROUND
  In the wide-ranging collection Grounded, Object Carpet pairs technical performance with atmospheric presence.
• DESIGNING FOR DEMOCRACY
  As World Design Capital 2026, the region of Frankfurt RheinMain explores how design can help inspire everyday civic engagement.
• EARTHSCAPE STUDIO
  Earthscape Studio demonstrates how local materials, vernacular techniques and minimal site disturbance can replace the carbon-intensive defaults of conventional building practice.
• VERA VAN DER BURG
  Instead of asking AI to think for us, Vera van der Burg asks what it reveals about us. By building her own algorithms from scratch, the Dutch designer turns artificial intelligence into a tool for self-reflection rather than automation.
• RUSSO BETAK
  Pairing the precision of digital fabrication with the inherent variability of biomaterials, Russo Betak develops objects that exist somewhere between the engineered and the organic.
• Husos
  In Diego Barajas and Camilo García’s world, the caterpillar is a neighbour, the butterfly a client, the wetland a collaborator and the spindle a manifesto; architecture, they believe, has always been for everyone.
• NATURAL BALANCE
  By pairing technology with endemic natural references, STILL YOUNG designs commercial spaces that feel contextual, human and alive.
• ‘Technology isn’t the problem. The problem is the attitude we bring to its design’
  Cities are living things, but how often are they planned that way? As urban populations surge and ecological systems struggle, two very different practices are asking whether nature and the city were ever truly separate – or whether we just forgot they were always one system. FRAME contributing editor TRACEY INGRAM brings together DROR BENSHETRIT, founder of Supernature Labs and the architect behind the Bioplanning framework, and ANAB JAIN and JON ARDERN, the founders of Superflux, a London-based futures studio whose practice grounds urban thinking in myth, multispecies design and the politics of imagination.
• How water-resilient design is working with rising tides
  Our coastlines are becoming increasingly fragile, demanding adaptive interiors – spaces that can transform, absorb impact and recover. Through innovative materials, flexible spatial planning and a new design language that accepts periodic flooding, designers are creating interiors that straddle the line between beautiful and functional.
• Why the buildings powering AI may be its biggest problem
  As AI drives an unprecedented construction boom, the way we construct these buildings will determine whether the relationship between digital infrastructure and the natural world is oppositional or symbiotic.
• How longevity science is reshaping hospitality design
  Health is wealth, and staying ahead of today’s wellness curve often requires plenty of both. Longevity has become a booming business, with luxury hospitality embracing everything from ancient rituals to AI-powered diagnostics to help people pursue longer, healthier lives.
• FABRICIRST
  In our rush towards innovation and artificial intelligence, have we lost a potentially more important AI: ancestral intelligence? Material Cultures thinks so – and the consequences, the team argues, are written into our buildings.
