Research trip last year to @hancockshakervillage in preparation for our upcoming exhibition „The Shakers: A World in the Making“ @vitradesignmuseum together with @milwaukeeart @icaphiladelphia @wuestenrotstiftung and @shakermuseum #vdmshaker These photos were taken at the Brick Dwelling. Many of the communal Shaker spaces include built-in furniture to avoid clutter, as well as large benches and tables to accommodate groups of Shaker Sisters and Brothers. Villages also had infirmaries to care for their members.

Travelling through Lanzarote last month, I visited some of the beautiful spaces created by artist César Manrique whose work permeates the island. Photos of the César Manrique Foundation (1968), Jameos del Agua (1968) and LagOmar (1970s) #cesarmanrique #architecture

It’s been a pleasure to present the @vitradesignmuseum exhibitions programme at this year’s #muscon conference in Lisbon.

Water-Lucidity — Mea Hoffmann (@meahoffmann ) — Water’s clarity goes beyond purity; it embodies transparency, truth, and the imperative for fair water governance. Amid global inequities, where millions still lack access to clean water, it asks us to rethink management, balancing human use with ecological restoration. A call to envision water not just as resource, but as a shared, living commons. 📚 Now at @labiennale bookshops — and online via @larsmullerpublishers Exhibition curated by @eva_franch & Mireia Luzárraga and Alejandro Muiño (@we_are_takk ) Commissioner: Institut Ramon Llull @irllull Graphic Design: @arauna_studio + @paratext.estudi With the support of: @columbiagsapp @umprum_praha @coacatalunya #WaterParliamentsBiennale #WaterLucidity #MeaHoffmann #CataloniaInVenice #BiennaleArchitettura2025 #InstitutRamonLlull #IntelliGens @irllull @larsmullerpublishers
