Exploring the Architecture of Star Wars: In a Galaxy Far Away, Using the Tangible for Futuristic Visualizations
Perhaps the most varied Sci-fi movies in terms of architectural visualization is the Star Wars saga. On George Lucas’s fictional desert planet of Tatooine, a location lacking natural resources, the architecture presents itself as unrefined, modest and unornamented. Ghorfa’s were predominantly featured in the film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, from multiple locations in Southern Tunisia including the Ksar Hadada. Used as rooms to store grain, these simplistic earth forms have been transformed into high-density dwellings. Primitive forms in contrast with the high-tech.

New life for nine of the over 3000 small, abandoned stone quarries in China
From economic exploitation to ecological reuse
In 2021, the Beijing architect Xu Tiantian and her firm DnA_Design and Architecture were awarded a commission to develop new utilization concepts for the old and today abandoned stone quarries in the northern part of Jinyun County in Zhejiang Province. Located in direct proximity to Songyang, where Xu Tiantian has already very successfully realized revitalization projects for the rural area, which have received close international attention, are over 3000 disused small stone quarries that, until recently, were still mined manually.

Hello there. I've been following your blog for quite a while now and I really appreciate the work you are doing. It has been one of the inspirations for me to pick Soviet Modernism as the general topic for my bachelors thesis. I am currently looking for literature to use in my work and was wondering if there are any books/articles/authors you could recommend.
AnonymousThe only thing I could mention is the database, that you probably already know: Soviet Modernism 1955-1991. Posting the answer in case others can contribute some recommendations!
Just wanted to let you know this page has been a big inspiration for me to follow my dreams into architecture. A while ago I sent you a message about applying to grad school. This fall ill be going for masters in architecture and just wanted to share since this page had a big impact on me
You humble me.
Congrats on all your achievements (and all those yet to come)!

Tweet by Doug Murano that appealed to this guy.
In this respect, we must reframe “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” from quotas and obligatory contracts to creative advantage. With a greater volume of aspiring designers with varied lived experiences and vantage points, the profession at large stands to benefit exponentially. As prismatic cultures emerge as a new normal in the workplaces of tomorrow, Black design professionals will at once be more visible and have greater agency to shape the ecosystems in which they operate. To pursue a prismatic workplace is to address diversity from the demand side—we want you—versus the supply side—you are counted, but not valued.
