EPFL ArtLab’s Thinking Machines. Ramon Llull and the ars combinatoria, is a bold exhibition that draws together scholarly, scientific and artistic modes of enquiry. Through it, we reread the late Middle Ages in the works of Ramon Llull, the outstanding Catalan philosopher and theologian, to explore the ramifications of his thinking in the realms of modern and contemporary art, and computation. The reverberations of Llullian thought on technology, art and culture find their present-day corollary in a pedagogical revolution which has ‘computational thinking’ at its core. This four-month exhibition proposes fresh perspectives on contemporary technologies and their development through the ages under the influence…

The Jewish Museum Lisbon will portray the history of Jewish life and culture in Portugal, specifically in Lisbon. It will share the message that Jewish heritage is indissoluble in the country’s history and celebrates the value of cultural differences, thus promoting inter-religious integration. The building’s volume is articulated into five distinct segments—trapezoidal or triangular in plan—that subtly vary in height, ranging from 10 to 15 meters. This modulation mirrors the traditional building scale of historic Lisbon, lending the structure a sense of contextual human-scaled continuity. Embedded within the architecture are the four Hebrew letters that spell “TIKVA”—meaning Hope—each manifesting as…

Artery is a completed architectural landmark in the heart of Vilnius, seamlessly blending sculptural elegance with environmental sensitivity. The 20,000-square-meter building complex comprises an 18-story glass tower rising from a 6-story podium, unified by a luminous, glass-covered galleria. This bold composition forms a harmonious progression of volumes that reflects the “urban hill” concept of the central business district. The tower’s sculpted geometry and multifaceted glass façade enhance the city skyline with its dynamic play of light, shadow, transparency, and opacity—mirroring the Lithuanian sky and surrounding landscape. Strategically situated at Konstitucijos Avenue 18B, just steps from the White Bridge, Neris River,…

World-renowned Paleoanthropologist Dr. Richard Leakey commissioned Studio Libeskind to create an unprecedented science museum dedicated to the story of humankind. Sited on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Rift Valley—the cradle of humankind and where Leakey first discovered the most complete skeleton of early man, Turkana Boy. The design is inspired by the forms of ancient hand axes that were the first tools of early man marking the beginnings of human ingenuity. The monolithic volumes rise like vertical stalactite set against the dramatic landscape of greater Nairobi in Loodariak. Through a series of interactive, cutting-edge exhibition spaces, Ngaren will…
