As industries go, architecture and design welcomes unconventional and experimental proposals more than most.  So in this issue we’ll explore innovations that are challenging the established order.

We hear from Paolo Pininfarina, studio manager of “Ferrari’s go-to design company,” Pininfarina, about celebrating Turkish tradition while at the same time designing an air traffic control tower that challenges the drab, purely-functional past interpretations of these buildings.

The interior design industry has been notoriously slow to incorporate new technologies, but we speak to founder and CEO of eporta, Aneeqa Khan, about how interior design’s answer to AirBnB is connecting interior designers, architects and retailers with manufacturers and designers.

Technology is changing our homes, but will the home of the future be a Jetsons-like high-tech wonderland or will it take inspiration from nature and become a living, emotional structure. We look at how we could one day be involved in a symbiotic relationship with our homes.

And with the news that the UK Parliament needs to be moved, while the Palace of Westminster is refurbished, we ask whether a proposed floating structure on the River Thames holds water. We’ll also consider whether it’s time to rethink the role of art in urban infrastructure as we look a project that has transformed a London pedestrian crossing into a work of art.

Plus we profile the hipster who the American Institute of Architects recognised as “the greatest architect of all time” Frank Lloyd Wright, profile the work of a promising architecture graduate and highlight some of the latest materials, fixtures and fittings to come onto the market.
