In May 2026, Central Chapelle, a new mixed-use destination, opened within the Adidas Arena in Paris's 18th arrondissement. Spanning approximately 3,500 square meters, the venue combines live performances, club events, dining, and a café within a single space. Conceived to connect the sports arena with the everyday life of the surrounding community, the project is centered on culture, food, and social interaction. It has attracted attention as a new type of urban destination that functions as a "third place" where people can gather and spend time beyond home and work.
In June 2026, French artist JR unveiled the monumental installation La Caverne du Pont-Neuf (The Cave of the Pont-Neuf) in Paris. Created as a tribute to The Pont Neuf Wrapped by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1985, the project transformed the historic bridge into a vast cave-like environment. As visitors walk through the installation, they are immersed in a multisensory experience enhanced by augmented reality (AR) technology and other interactive elements.

In her latest article, Von Chua, Chartered Architect and Founder, examines how baby care facilities reveal broader cultural attitudes toward hospitality, accessibility, and family-friendly design. Comparing dedicated nursing and changing suites in Japan and Taiwan with the integrated facilities commonly found in the UK, Europe, and the US, she explores how legislation, public policy, and design priorities shape the experiences of parents and caregivers. Von Chua argues that thoughtfully designed baby care spaces are more than practical amenities—they reflect a society's commitment to supporting families and creating welcoming public environments, offering valuable lessons for architects, developers, and policymakers worldwide.

Like every year, I made my way back to Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris's 6th arrondissement. This ceramics market has run since 1997, and the sight of stalls filling the whole square around the fountain never gets old, no matter how many editions I've seen. This year's dates were June 25–28. Over 100 ceramicists from France and abroad gathered, showing everything from raw stoneware to gilded porcelain, sculptural pieces standing alongside everyday ware without distinction. What I like about this event is that it stays familiar year after year, yet always brings new makers to discover.
