TIME magazine recently released its third annual list of the World’s Greatest Places. With the challenges faced by the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries over the past 18 months, this year’s list in many ways, is a “tribute to the people and businesses at the forefront of those industries.” The magazine solicited nominations from across the globe and selected a total of 100 destinations, which includes the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge located in an idyllic Portuguese town to repurposed spaces in Helsinki. While some places may be harder to reach than others during the pandemic, you can start planning now to explore some of the considerable architectural destinations included in the World’s Greatest Places of 2021.

According to a new report, the construction industry will see global growth up by 35% compared to the previous decade. This will largely be driven by “unprecedented levels of stimulus spending on infrastructure and the unleashing of excess household savings,” according to a new report – The Future of Construction: A Global Forecast for Construction to 2030, published by Marsh, and Guy Carpenter and written with Oxford Economics. The largely positive outlook predicts global construction will expand by US$4.5 trillion to US$15.2 trillion, with China, India, Indonesia, and the US accounting for 58% of growth.

Recommendation: In Conversation with Stefano Boeri
Interviewed By: Christele Harrouk with ArchDaily
Architect Stefano Boeri is redefining our relationship with nature as he builds whole ecosystems rather than just green facades in cities from Mexico to Shenzhen. He describes his approach as “designing a house for trees.” Christele Harrouk from ArchDaily recently had an opportunity to catch up with the architect at the inauguration of his first social housing project, Trudo Tower, in Eindhoven. They discuss the early 2000’s when his ideas first grew roots to become one of his signature design moves and why this approach has become so successful.
