Under Pressure: The Trials and Tribulations of Building an Underwater City
This article discusses the fictional underwater city of Rapture, as featured in the Bioshock games, and the challenges of building a real underwater city. Rapture was designed as a utopian society for the world's best and brightest minds, with towering buildings made of advanced materials and its own transportation system. However, despite its idyllic appearance, Rapture was not without its problems, and its downfall highlights the challenges of building an underwater city. Challenges include the need for self-sustaining energy, water filtration, waste management systems, transportation infrastructure, safety, and environmental impact mitigation.

The Intersection of Time and Space: Extending the Fourth Dimension
We explore the relationship between architecture and film, discussing how they have influenced each other. The concept of "cineplastics" is introduced, which brings together time and space to create a new type of architectural space. It delves into the early horror films of the 1920s, providing a phenomenology of the spaces in these films and how they incorporated the viewer's own space into the vortex of the whole movie.

Facade Fakery - Harmony and Contrast in Historic City Centres
Researchers are exploring ways to integrate modern architecture into historic city centers across Europe, where protected areas have been established around buildings of significant cultural value. However, poor-quality modern architecture can clash with the surrounding buildings, reducing the visual value of these areas. In this article, we explore how different facade solutions can improve the integration of visually impactful buildings into cityscapes while preserving their historical context.
