The B1M

Athens International Airport is about to get a major expansion. The phased works programme will keep the airport fully operational while taking its capacity from 26 million to 40 million passengers a year by 2032. The airport was originally constructed in 2001 ahead of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The Anemos consortium — consisting of Grimshaw, Haptic, Athens-based K-Studio, Arup, Leslie Jones, Triagonal and Plan A — will lead the expansion project. In a statement, Grimshaw explained some of the key features of the design: “Two new unforgettable Athenian moments are the north and south oculi, destination points and new dwelling spaces, extending the existing structure. The north oculus is the primary space, a rich landscaped Mediterranean garden set in a 24.5m-high circular, tiered space – a volume that at once impresses and grounds the experience of the terminal and the city beyond.” 📷 Grimshaw / Aesthetica.Studio #architecture #construction #infrastructure #airport

The $160BN International Space Station is about to be destroyed. In 2030 one of the most challenging demolition projects in human history will be attempted. With the station cleared of astronauts, a specially adapted SpaceX rocket will dock with the ISS and push it out of orbit, back into the Earth’s lower atmosphere where it will spectacularly disintegrate in a city-sized fireball.

This super-yacht inspired hotel has just opened in Dubai. Designed by Killa Design, the 408-room Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab rises on reclaimed land alongside two other marine-inspired hotels; the wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach and the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab, formerly the tallest hotel in the world. The Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab building features self-shading terraces that aim to reduce energy consumption by up to 40% and a greywater recycling system to irrigate the site's landscaping. 📷 Killa Design I Architecture #architecture #construction #dubai #engineering

This massive new sports centre is nearing completion in Guangzhou’s Nansha District. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, construction works at the Greater Bay Area Sports Centre are due to wrap-up in June 2025 ahead of China National Games in November. The 70-hectare site features a 60,000-seat stadium, a 20,000-seat arena for basketball and other indoor events, and a 4,000-seat aquatics centre. It's been designed to host a wide range of major national and international sporting events, as well as cultural performances, that can be easily accessed by all residents of the Greater Bay Area via Line 18 of the Guangzhou Metro and the new Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge. 📷 CRL Land (construction shots) and ZHA / Negativ (renders) #architecture #engineering #construction #China #stadium

Miami’s first ever supertall skyscraper, the 320-metre Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences, is starting to rise onto the city’s skyline. These images by Oscar Nunez (skyalign) captured the latest construction progress on the building as it leaves the ground and begins to climb upwards. When it completes in 2028, the tower will stand 100-storeys above the city. 📷 Construction images: skyalign / Oscar Nunez 📷 Renders: PMG Development #construction #architecture #skyscraper #miami

New Jersey's $2.2BN new Portal North Bridge is steadily taking shape above the Hackensack River. When it completes in 2026, the structure will replace the aging Portal Bridge that's carried trains over the water since 1910 and provide a much more reliable connection on the northeast rail corridor from New Jersey through into Manhattan's Penn Station.

AS+GG has shared its shortlisted design for the Pearl River Delta Hub (Guangzhou New) Airport Competition. The concept is inspired by the form of a traditional Lingnan roof and is intended to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Foshan while offering an innovative and efficient spatial layout. The vaulted structure helps to maximise open space, reduces the need for columns, and creates an airy, open atmosphere, illuminated with natural daylight. 📷 Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) #architecture #construction #infrastructure #airport #China
