No one needs a reminder that Covid-19 has upended many travel plans over the past 18 months, and tourism as a whole has slowed down all over the world. Traveling to far off places may seem farther away than ever before, but museums and organizations have found ways to innovate during the pandemic by bringing experiences to visitors inside the comfort of their homes. Exploring cultural attractions or foreign cities are now within reach with a touch of the button or click of the mouse. Discover four different ways to explore places without leaving home below.

In recent years, fires at renowned sacred spaces like Notre Dame and the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, have led architects to propose new ways of rebuilding sacred spaces, and even rethinking how they are used. By opening them up to new possibilities, abandoned churches, shrines and monasteries with great architectural and historical value can be rescued and transformed into hotels, museums, libraries, or even other cultural spaces while preserving their historical heritage. You can check out 15 adaptive reuse projects in ancient churches below.

Recommendation: One More To The Sky: The Rebuilding of the World Trade Center
Produced By: Architectural Digest

Photographer Joe Woolhead first captured the World Trade Center site on September 11th, a day that will not be forgotten. On that fateful day, he captured smoke emerging from the Twin Towers and over the following decade, he took more than two million photographs of the site, from rubble to construction of what stands today. A new book that was released this week traces the photos and story that saw the tragedies unfold, leading up to the construction of the now iconic building. Nearing the 20th anniversary of this awful event, the book serves as a photo book and historical document that traces the path to building One World Trade Center and its 10 years of construction with never seen before images.
