2026 Calendar paintings are humming along. I wrote this little poem a few calendars ago, and am excited to try poem pairings again for 2026.

🌵Kaktus Towers designed by @big_builds rise sharply from a green elevated plateau in the center of Copenhagen, creating a remarkable architectural presence in the cityscape. The twin towers are situated close to Dybbølsbro station, where a public plaza connects them to the city’s pedestrian traffic. The design activates the site as a transit hub and a civic destination by including a floating public park at the base instead of a traditional podium-tower arrangement. Reaching up to 80 meters, the towers interact with the city on several levels. The project stands out through its parametric design strategy, where each floorplate is gradually rotated to form a dynamic, twisting silhouette. This results in a constantly shifting façade and ensures a unique visual and spatial experience on every level. The repeated use of angled slabs creates a sculptural form that is both efficient and cost effective, maximizing the net to gross ratio without compromising the architectural vision. 📸 @rasmus_hjortshoj, @laurianghinitoiu, Catella 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricDesign #ComputationalDesign #KaktusTowers #BIGArchitects #CopenhagenArchitecture #MixedUseDevelopment #AlgorithmicDesign #TechInArchitecture 

🌕AYDC Public Center is designed by @atelier_xi in Guiyang, China. Spreading of a 236m2 project has been completed in 2024. The vision was a dispersed constellation of pavilions, each responding to the surrounding topography and community needs, rather than consulting all facilities together in a closed box. It integrates nature, innovation and cultural life set within a culture-driven hub in an artistic expression. The Karst Mountains cave-inspired project has three main elements, the Xima Library, Ginkgo Chapel, and Dali Stage, which emerge as sculptural forms carved by light and space. Shade through suspended, pointed arches that express a delicate tension between mass and void. Elevated on massive stone leaves, the Ginkgo Chapel opens into a central void that filters light and sound through ginkgo trees and frames the sky. With its mirrored interior and fibre optic lighting embedded in the floor, the Dali Stage, which doesn't have an arch, opens to the square and creates an atmosphere that reminded of heaven. Together, the pavilions create a unified and artistic whole that integrates nature and architecture, serving as spaces for performance, community gathering, and quiet reflection. 📸 @zhangchao_sz 🚀 Join @thepaacademy’s workshops to learn the most advanced tools in architecture from pioneering architects and designers! #ParametricArchitecture #AYDC #PublicArtArchitecture #ContemporaryDesign #ArchitectureInNature #PavilionDesign #MinimalArchitecture #SpatialExperience 

Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum opened in May - exploring the power of science and the technological advancements defining our future. Adjacent to #Shenzhen Metro’s Guangming Station, the museum is the anchor of the city’s new Science Park, its volume stretching into the park and transforming into a sequence of outdoor terraces that serve as extensions of the museum’s interior galleries which surround its central atrium. With permanent & temporary exhibition halls, immersive theatres & cinemas, as well as research labs, educational facilities & innovation centre, the museum also includes visitor amenities, storage & workshops. The atrium’s multiple perspectives provide a thrilling launching point for every visitor’s journey of discovery. With its large, glazed wall facing the park, the atrium blurs the boundary between inside & out; inviting natural light & landscapes — as well as our boundless curiosity — into the heart of the building. Guided by passive environmental strategies, the design process employed computer simulations to test the building’s form, spaces and envelope for optimal performance within Shenzhen’s subtropical climate. The building’s orientation minimises solar heat gain. Mitigating direct exposure to the elements, stainless-steel panels create a ventilated cavity between the façade and the external walls. This system extends to the roof, which also incorporates photovoltaics. The 128,276 sq. m museum’s passive design elements combined with smart management networks operating high-efficiency systems are projected to reduce the building’s comprehensive energy consumption to 15.47 kgce/sqm per year, with a subsequent reduction in emissions achieved by lowering the museum’s operational electricity demand to an estimated 125.89 kWh/sqm a year. The museum’s procurement targeted 389,238.92 tonnes of recyclable materials, while grey-water recycling in addition to the collection and storage of rainwater will reduce overall water consumption to an estimated 14,906 cubic metres per year.

Can you guess which print is the best seller from this collection? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s my personal favorite: Flourish 🌱 Painting this was a delight. And that’s rare for me! Most of my paintings are challenging to work through and sometimes a bit of a slog. But this one came straight from the heart and just flowed right out of me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think it’s because I painted it after a really rough time. My mental health had taken a nosedive, and after months of dragging myself through life, I was finally in therapy. I was facing some deeply entrenched and toxic patterns that had taken root in my life, and it was rough. I don’t know when it happened, but eventually things started to shift. I started to see myself in a new light - maybe for the first time in my life. I was able to feel a deep appreciation for what life had given me and I think that’s what fuelled this painting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite thing about it is that it also resonates with others. I’m so thankful to see that it has gotten such a positive response 💚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This print is part of my Bloom prints collection, featuring 6 hand-signed prints. Orders close in just 4 days!
