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.

【ADF Web Magazine】Baby Care Facilities

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.

【ADF Web Magazine】Saint-Sulpice Ceramique 2026: Paris Becomes Ceramic Central

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.

【ADF Web Magazine】"To Hold Summer" by Ayumi Aoki at FUJI GALLERY SHINJUKU

A Solo Exhibition "To Hold Summer" by Ayumi Aoki to be held at FUJI GALLERY SHINJUKU for July 18 to August 30, 2026. Aoki, born in 1982, creates imagined landscapes inspired by the glimmer of water, seasonal changes in light, the colors of nature, and scenes that remain in memory. Combining collage made from torn watercolor paper and washi with acrylic brushstrokes, she brings fragments of color and form together within a single pictorial space. Her paintings contemplate the beauty of things that are constantly changing and will eventually disappear, reflecting a Japanese sensibility associated with mono no aware—the awareness of beauty and poignancy found in impermanence—and with utakata, the fleeting image of bubbles on water.

Held in New York in May 2026, Audible Story House was a limited-time immersive experience created by Audible, the world’s largest audiobook service. Conceived as a “bookstore without books,” the project translated the experience of audio storytelling into a physical environment. Located in the Bowery district, the three-story venue invited visitors to discover content by inserting audio cards, known as Story Tiles, into listening stations installed throughout the space. Each card provided access to a three- to five-minute audio sample, allowing visitors to explore a wide range of narratives as they moved through the venue. Rather than functioning as a conventional exhibition, each area was designed as a dedicated listening environment. A particular highlight was the listening lounge equipped with Dolby Atmos technology, where sound moved three-dimensionally above, below, around, and behind the listener, creating a highly immersive auditory experience. The concept of exploring stories while physically navigating the space added a unique dimension to the experience.

Matin Kim Flagship Store Seongsu is a content-driven retail space designed to embody the brand’s distinctive sensibility and the spirit of contemporary street culture. More than a conventional store, it provides an immersive environment where visitors can experience the brand’s identity and values firsthand. The exterior, characterized by metallic materials and glossy finishes, harmonizes with Seongsu’s trend-conscious urban atmosphere. Inside, cool-toned metal surfaces and carefully orchestrated lighting create a futuristic, highly sensory setting, while digital-inspired elements reinforce the brand’s contemporary aesthetic.
Worksout Seongsu Flagship Store reinterprets an existing building as a contemporary retail destination while preserving the industrial character that defines the Seongsu district. The design minimizes unnecessary interventions, instead emphasizing the building’s original structure and raw materiality. Exposed ceilings, concrete surfaces, and metal finishes establish an atmosphere that is both rugged and refined. By embracing the existing architecture rather than concealing it, the project creates a strong connection to the neighborhood’s manufacturing heritage while offering a distinctly contemporary shopping environment.
