French studio Moreau Kusunoki have unveiled their plans for the prolonged renovation of Paris' iconic Pompidou Centre – a project that could take up to five years to complete, at an estimated cost of €262m. One of the largest modern and contemporary art museums in the world, the Pompidou Centre is known for its groundbreaking "inside out" structure, which displays pipework on the outside, but which has suffered serious wear and tear. Moreau Kusunoki will bring their plans to fruition with the help of Mexico City and New York-based studio Frida Escobedo. According to the studios, the overhaul s...

In a leafy corner of Hampstead, north London, is a terrace of three houses that bring together controversy, trailblazing modernist design and a James Bond villain who took on 007 in the 1964 film Goldfinger – the third instalment of the all-conquering spy movie franchise. In the middle of the three houses sits 2 Willow Road, the modernist masterpiece home of Hungarian born, French educated architect and leading light of the British modernist movement, Ernő Goldfinger. His very personal ode to European modernism heralded the birth, or at least the difficult early childhood, of the British moder...

A massive sculpture of the Olympic Rings made of recycled French steel can now be seen on the south side of the Eiffel Tower. Nicknamed La Dame de Fer, or The Iron Lady, the landmark will loom large over the games between July 26 and August 11. The men’s and women’s volleyball teams will compete at the foot of the 330-metre tower. They'll be watched by nearly 13,000 fans at the temporary Eiffel Tower Stadium on the nearby Champ de Mars.

La Bellez Común (The Common Beauty) makes a case for a bygone age when shop fronts were a work of art in themselves as artisans were employed to attract customers. The book was the brainchild of two architects, Luis Fernández-Galido and Javier Sánchez Bellver, who sought to record the most picturesque shop fronts for history. The project was completed between 1977-78 but at the time it was not published. It was finally put into print earlier this year, more than four decades on, and has become an unlikely best seller. It is easy, however, to see why the book has created such a stir. Every page...

At a press conference on Tuesday, the mayor of the Spanish town of Palma, Jaime Martínez, reported that the terrace that collapsed last Thursday at the Medusa Beach Club in Playa de Palma did not have the relevant municipal activity licence to host customers.

Last weekend, Miami hosted its annual Formula 1 grand prix. The Florida city, which held its first race in 2022, has already become a natural nesting ground for the sport which oozes lavish and luxury lifestyles to excess. On Sunday, British driver Lando Norris claimed his maiden victory at the Hard Rock stadium in front of a crowd of 275,000. While all eyes were on the 24-year-old and his papaya-liveried McLaren teammates (among whom roamed, by way of a profane talisman, one special guest even more orange than the winning car, former president Donald Trump) the other teams were left to quietl...

Famous for its quaint streets, canals, Gothic architecture and Christmas markets, the Belgian city of Bruges will soon welcome visitors to explore its creative side – and envision the possible Bruges of the future. Far from being divorced from its context and Bruges’ rich heritage, though, the contemporary art and architecture festival will engage with the city’s historic centre (as well as the West Bruges and Zeebrugge areas) within its theme ‘Spaces of Possibility’, focussing on exploring the revitalisation of neglected places in Bruges and encouraging visitors to imagine the city’s potentia...
