Our Planet carpet collection by Gensler and Ege Carpets

Dezeen Showroom: architecture studio Gensler worked with Danish manufacturer Ege Carpets to produce Our Planet, a collection of landscape-inspired carpets and rugs.

The global architecture and design firm served as product design consultants on Our Planet, exploring how flooring can shape spatial experience and how the underlying structures of nature can serve as inspiration.

The completed collection traces an abstract journey across the American landscape, from the west coast's mountain ranges through to the east's waterways and cultivated terrain.

"Our Planet was inspired by the different ways we perceive the landscape," said Gensler design director Emma Chang....

UTV Decks: How to Transport a UTV Without a Trailer

UTVs, or Utility Terrain Vehicles, are popular in rural America. Also called side-by-sides, they're essentially ATVs that can seat two or four people, and some 420,000 were sold in America last year. Farmers, ranchers, rural property owners, and hunters use them. So do individuals and families going on trail-riding vacations.

The hunters and trail rider market segments face a challenge, which is that you have to transport the UTV to site. That requires a flatbed trailer. Hooking one of those up means you cannot tow a camping trailer, which for some is a family vacation must-have.

CF Møller transforms psychiatric hospital in Denmark into museum

Danish studio CF Møller has completed the Mind Museum on the island of Funen in Denmark, guided by the "clear spatial structure" of the former psychiatric hospital it occupies.

Located in the town of Middelfart, the Mind Museum tells the history of psychiatry in Denmark and the early 19th-century hospital itself.

CF Møller's ambition was to preserve the bulk of the building, which dates back to 1888, "allowing the existing architecture to remain a central part of the museum".

This involved retaining and restoring the exterior while improving circulation and functionality and adapting the...

"Reinventing higher education requires architecture to reinvent itself too"

With Britain's universities in dire straits, a radical rethink of how these institutions manifest as physical infrastructure is long overdue, writes Owen Hopkins.

University campuses are bustling once again, studios are hives of activity and lectures are in full swing.

It's a cycle that's been repeating for years, decades, centuries. And this is mirrored in the perennial nature of many of the debates around architecture and higher education.

Even in response to their own stated missions, universities as currently constituted would not be invented today

Is it too detached from the profession? Or is it vital to learn away from the mostly mundane realities...
