Herzog & de Meuron's Triangle Tower Nears Completion; OMA Wins Rome Urban Vision
After 14 years of legal challenges and opposition, Herzog & de Meuron's Tour Triangle in Paris is close to completion, with construction having commenced in 2022. In Rome, OMA, along with IT'S, OKRA, and NET Mobility, has been selected to create a 25-year urban development plan that emphasizes well-being and green corridors. JR, a street artist, has placed an inflatable cave on the Pont Neuf in Paris as a homage to Christo and Jeanne-Claude. In addition, Stefano Boeri Architetti is transforming a former transit depot in Rome into a civic area. Meanwhile, the Newcastle Quay masterplan by SJB and DOMA Group in Australia aims to deliver 1,000 homes by 2041. The 13th World Urban Forum in Baku highlighted ecological restoration, and Palma + Taller TO emerged victorious in the MAC Panamá competition.
