In this issue

It has literally been an eventful few months since our last issue. From COP26 to Singapore Archifest, the opening of the Expo 2020 Dubai and Salone del Mobile, the calendar has been very full.

The Singapore Pavilion, designed by WOHA, graces our cover in all its green glory, and the Malaysia Pavilion, designed by Hijjas Architects + Planners, is the only
net zero carbon pavilion at the Expo.

Our annual report on the Milan Furniture Fair identifies six trends that will influence architecture and interior design in the year ahead.

Look out too for the spectacular Al Dana Amphitheatre by S/L Architects, which scores points for generously deploying recyclable materials throughout, such as used shipping containers and wooden pallets.

The issue closes on a light but thoughtful note, spotlighting the air-purifying eco-machine Air Bubble by ecoLogicStudio, staged at COP26.

From the team at d+a, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy, eventful 2022!
