As BluPrint Magazine comes back to print, we celebrate the cutting-edge fusion of design and technology that is shaping the future of architecture and interior design. The first issue explores “The Next Big Thing,” looking at how designers push boundaries with new technologies. We highlight the innovators and visionaries redefining what is possible in the built environment.
This issue features an array of stunning projects across various sectors, each showcasing how new technologies are transforming residential, social, institutional, hospitality, and retail spaces. From private homes that redefine residential spaces to restaurants equipped with smart lighting technology, our featured projects demonstrate the limitless potential of modern design.
We take you inside Jagnus Design Studio’s project, where the synergy between art and architecture defines a modern Filipino home, and to a tropical hideaway by Fitnesscape Creative Studio Inc., where natural elements are harnessed to craft serene retreats.
Private homes designed by Jim Caumeron and SpaceFabrik also showcase forward-thinking approaches to residential sanctuaries that blend global inspirations with local charm.
From the luxurious retreats designed by Sim Atelier to the fusion of tradition and modernity by Barchan + Architecture, each feature story exemplifies how thoughtful design can harmoniously integrate with its natural and cultural surroundings.
We also explore public spaces like the stadium by WTA Architecture and Design Studio that elevate everyday experiences to world-class standards, and the community-centric structure envisioned by Jonathan Matti.
Feature stories, meanwhile, explore the potential of materials in innovative designs through a series of interviews.
Join us as we explore these inspiring stories of creativity, innovation, and forward-looking design that define “The Next Big Thing” in architecture and beyond.
