The design inspiration came from local ruins of 3rd Century Buddhist Monasteries, which utilised handmade bricks. The structures include pavilion forms and green roofs to provide ventilation and temperature stabilisation, removing the need for air conditioning. (Image © Hélène Binet, via wallpaper)

This week Brighton mandated bee bricks for new buildings
This week on Dezeen, perforated bricks that provide nesting space for bees became a planning requirement for new buildings in Brighton, England.
The aim of the initiative is to improve biodiversity in cities and turn them into safe havens for wild and solitary bee species that are facing extinction.
The bricks have proven controversial among scientists, with some raising concerns that they could attract mites and spread diseases while others see them as "an unequivocal good thing".
Adidas reveals Team GB kit for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
With the Beijing Winter Olympics kicking off next week, we shared a look at the city's Populous-designed speed skating arena, which is the only permanent venue built for the games.
British athletes are set to enter the venue in newly revealed kits by sportswear brand Adidas. They are made from marine plastic sourced by Parley for the Ocean and rendered in the traditional colours of the Union Jack.
Rural hospital in Bangladesh named world's best building by RIBA
In architecture news, a hospital in rural Bangladesh made from locally sourced brick was named the world's best building by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Designed by local practice Kashef Chowdhury/URBANA, the project was awarded the 2021 RIBA International Prize for providing affordable medical care to thousands of people while treading lightly on the planet by making use of regional resources, harvesting rainwater and passively cooling and daylighting its interiors.
"RIBA upgrading Portland Place is an expensive solution to the wrong problem"
After RIBA announced a forthcoming design contest for the refurbishing of its headquarters architecture critic Phineas Harper penned an op-ed for Dezeen arguing that these funds would be better spent on turning the Portland Street building into a "village hall" for architects.
"Instead of investing £20 million in itself, building bigger, better, more competitive facilities to draw audiences away from programmes elsewhere, RIBA should simply open the doors and let people in," he wrote.
Sunken home forms setting for Virgil Abloh's final Louis Vuitton show
In the world of design, Virgil Abloh's final posthumous show for Louis Vuitton took place in the Carreau du Temple in Paris, with a set designed by LA studio PlayLab.
It paid homage to the eight previous shows that Abloh spearheaded as creative director for the fashion house before his death in November 2021, incorporating elements from each in a surrealist medley including a sunken home.
