☁️ Tirana Fountain Plaza by BIG Architecture studio BIG has revealed plans for a striking mixed-use building in Tirana, Albania. Named Tirana Fountain Plaza, the cloud-like structure is cloaked in layers of white disks and raised on slim white columns above Rinia Park. It will house: • Apartments • Offices • Cultural spaces • Water features The design keeps the ground level largely open, turning the base into a generous public plaza. A soft, floating presence that prioritizes public space while adding density above. What do you think of this elevated, cloud-inspired approach? #Architecture #BIG #BjarkeIngels #Tirana #UrbanDesign #MixedUse #PublicSpace #CloudArchitecture #FountainPlaza #ContemporaryArchitecture #EthiopianArchitecture #UUAS #UnityUniversity #AddisAbaba #AfricanArchitecture @unityarch

🏙️ Dubai Then & Now These photographs show just how dramatically Dubai has transformed in a few decades. In the early days of Sheikh Zayed Road, the Toyota Building stood almost alone in the open desert. Today the same area is surrounded by skyscrapers, highways, and the Metro. Places that were once empty desert or sea — Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR, Bluewaters, and the coastline — are now some of the city’s busiest districts. Even the Dubai World Trade Centre (opened in 1979), which once stood in near isolation, is now part of a vast and constantly growing city. A powerful example of rapid urban growth and ambitious city-making. What do you think about this kind of transformation? #Architecture #UrbanDesign #Dubai #UrbanTransformation #CityPlanning #Skyscrapers #SheikhZayedRoad #PalmJumeirah #DubaiMarina #EthiopianArchitecture #UUAS #UnityUniversity #AddisAbaba #AfricanCities #UrbanDevelopment @unityarch

Ruspoli's Turaco, an endemic ethiopian bird

🌼 Design Spotlight: How the Meskel Wof Inspired the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa 🌼 ​Happy Meskel season! As Adey Abeba blankets the highlands, the yellow bloom also marks the arrival of the Meskel Wof—the seasonal birds that herald this time of year in Ethiopia. ​Beyond being a central city landmark, the interior architecture of the Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa was built around a biomimetic design concept: translating local birdlife directly into lighting, texture, and color palettes. ​Instead of generic modern decor, the interior design explicitly channels two endemic species—the vibrant blue Turaco and the Ethiopian guinea fowl. Here is how that concept translates into the space: ​✦ The Blue Glass Bird Chandelier (Reception): Suspended right over the front desk is a massive, glowing installation composed of hundreds of individual blue glass birds. Modeled after the Turaco, it sets a vivid blue accent that runs throughout the main public areas. ​✦ Bird-Nest Lighting (Lobby Lounge): In the lobby, the motif shifts from the bird itself to its environment. The custom metal and glass light fixtures are woven in an organic, chaotic geometry designed to mimic a bird's nest. ​✦ Feather Motifs (Ballroom): The crystal chandeliers in the main ballroom are sculpted in sweeping, continuous curves that mirror the fluid lines of bird feathers in flight. ​✦ Guinea Fowl Textures (Guestrooms): In the private guest quarters, the focus moves to the spotted, rhythmic plumage of the Ethiopian guinea fowl. High-contrast, black-and-white architectural photography of these feather patterns serves as the primary wall art. ​It is a solid example of how local ecology and seasonal culture can drive modern interior architecture without falling back on cliché cultural motifs. ​Happy Meskel to everyone celebrating! 💛🔥 @unityarch

Bricks crafted in the form of fabrics. Designed by PMA Madhushala in Maval, India, The Gadi House translates ancient defensive logic into modern kinetic poetry. Raw masonry and quiet courtyards anchor the heavy, fortress-grade base, contrasting with a wave-toothed red-brick crown that drapes light and air like fabric. Here, brickwork behaves less like load and more like textile. @unityarch

WeDoctor Green Valley / gad Mixed-use / Hangzhou, China WeDoctor Green Valley, designed by gad, is a significant development in the Information Port area of Xiaoshan, encompassing approximately 580,000 square meters as the headquarters for WeHealth Group and a digital health cluster. The project aims to function as a city-level public vehicle, promoting a sense of community and accessibility through its design. @unityarch

When I was a freshman, one of our design teachers often complained about how much our generation had changed and how difficult it was to teach us. Of course, every generation is different. Technology, culture, attention spans, and the way people learn all change over time. But isn't it also the responsibility of a teacher to adapt? If an old teaching method is no longer as effective as it used to be, shouldn't a teacher look for new ways to communicate, engage, and teach effectively rather than simply blaming the new generation? A good teacher doesn't necessarily have to abandon traditional methods, but they should be willing to question whether those methods are still working. There is a difference between saying “students today learn differently” and saying “students today are worse.” The first is an observation that calls for adaptation. The second turns a teaching challenge into a complaint about an entire generation. Every generation changes. Perhaps the real measure of a good teacher isn't whether they can teach students who think like they did, but whether they can find a way to teach students who don't.

Dear Students, The graduating Architecture students will have their final project jury sessions from 10 July to 13 July, 2026 . I strongly encourage all of you to attend the jury sessions. Observing the presentations, discussions, critiques, drawings, models, and design processes will give you valuable exposure and help you understand what will be expected of you as you progress through the Architecture programme. In addition, the Architecture Department and Unity University are planning a public Architecture Exhibition in September. The exhibition will showcase work produced by students from all Architecture batches. It will be held both at a public venue in Addis Ababa and at Unity University’s Gerji Campus. The Gerji Campus exhibition will also help incoming students understand architecture and decide whether studying Architecture is the right path for them. Your participation and contribution will be important. Therefore, in addition to attending the jury sessions, all of you are requested to come to the Gerji Campus on Monday at 2:00 p.m. for an orientation and discussion about the upcoming exhibition. Please attend on time and take this opportunity seriously.

🏢 Nuevo Proyecto | Ice Block Building This elegant tertiary-use project features a seamless continuous façade with soft rounded edges that perfectly integrate a curtain wall system. Special screen-printed glass creates a striking effect: From the outside, the building appears as a smooth, almost solid block of ice. From the inside, it offers crystal-clear views of the surroundings. The design smartly controls sightlines while delivering a powerful glowing expression at night. A beautiful balance of privacy, transparency, and modern elegance! ❄️✨ #Architecture #FacadeDesign #CurtainWall #ModernArchitecture #GlassFacade #ParametricDesign #TertiaryBuilding #ArchitecturalDetails #NightArchitecture #IceBuilding #ContemporaryDesign #EthiopianArchitects #UUAS #AfricanArchitecture #UnityUniversity #SeneHencha @unityarch

🏛️ The Invisible Weight of Being an Architect Since it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s time we talk about the elephant in the studio. People see the final renders, the beautiful buildings, the creativity, the titles, the late nights in studios and offices. But very few people truly understand what architecture can do to a person mentally. Architecture is not just a job you leave at the office. It follows you home. It stays in your head during family dinners, during conversations with friends, even when you are trying to rest. Your body may leave the studio, but your mind often doesn’t. Many architects silently struggle with burnout, anxiety, loneliness, isolation, toxic work environments, unrealistic deadlines, and constant self-doubt. We are taught to normalize exhaustion. To romanticize sleepless nights and overworking. To believe that sacrificing our health and personal lives is simply “part of the profession.” And slowly, life outside work begins to disappear. You stop replying to messages. You cancel plans. You isolate yourself without realizing it. You tell yourself you’ll rest after the next deadline. Then another deadline comes. At some point, you begin questioning yourself: “Am I even good enough for this profession?” But the truth is, struggling does not make you weak. It makes you human. It is okay to pause. It is okay to step away from the screen. It is okay to choose sleep, family, friends, exercise, peace, and your mental health. And it is okay to work on yourself before work. A healthy architect creates better spaces, better ideas, and ultimately a better life. We need to normalize conversations about mental health in architecture — not as a weakness, but as something necessary. Check on your friends in the profession. Support each other. Rest when you need to. Set boundaries when you must. Because before being architects, we are human beings first. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 @unityarch
