A Dutch-Danish Housing Crunch Solution: Build Floating Neighborhoods
Like many countries, the Netherlands currently faces a housing crunch. Unlike many countries, the Dutch have a history of working with water to build out their environment.

The proposal was designed by Maritime Architecture Studio (MAST), a Copenhagen-based architecture firm that specializes in floating construction. It calls for a multitude of buildings housing more than a hundred low-cost apartments, as well as commercial and recreational space.
"The Spoorweghaven floating community would connect to the city's already expansive...

How Norman Foster became the most successful architect in history
Ahead of Norman Foster's 90th birthday this weekend, Dezeen explores how he became the most successful architect the world has ever seen – including by asking the man himself.
"It's just amazing what Norm has achieved in his career," Ken Shuttleworth, founder of Make Architects and a partner in Foster's firm for nearly 30 years, told Dezeen.
"I don't think any other architect has done what he's done," Shuttleworth continued. "He hasn't waned in any way as he's got older – in a way he's got better. He's a one-off."
No plans to retire at 90
Architecture historian Owen Hopkins compares Foster to tech...

Umbrella Crate Stall makes life easier for Nigeria's street market traders
Nigerian designer Paul Yakubu combined an umbrella with a modular system of display crates to create this trading stall, designed to optimise space in busy street markets.
Yakubu developed the Umbrella Crate Stall based on his own research into the informal markets of Lagos and other Nigerian cities, where umbrellas are commonly used as flexible shelters for grocers, restaurants, barbers and other traders.
