Let's get started—so, so much happening that month on Archinect:

ARCHITECTURE CULTURE

↑ How to dress like an architect? It's all in the details!

Surprisingly not brought to you by COS or MUJI, but this topic simply never gets old. If architects are expected to be creators of humanity's third skin, we better be mindful about our own second skin.

↑ Hip-Hop Architecture with Sekou Cooke

In this Archinect Sessions podcast episode, we're chatting with architect/educator/curator Sekou Cooke about the ongoing exhibition at New York's Center for Architecture, "Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture." Resident Archinector Marc Miller gives his approving "Yes!"

While Norway builds up, China ventures into the abyss with the opening of the impressive "planet's deepest hotel" spectacle.

↑ MVRDV completes a white and gold entertainment complex by Seoul’s Incheon Airport

The Dutch enfants terribles of architecture complete a South Korean showstopper, and it's, well, very MVRDV. Responses by Archinectors in the comment section are surprisingly favorable. "I feel like MVRDV is trolling the super-serious wing of Architecture discourse," says davvid.

↑ BIG's “experimental” Westbank residential project now approved for Toronto's historic King Street

ARCHITECTS

We're losing a good one in September. Architecture says Viva Bob.

↑ From a B at Yale to a Built Memorial: Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial

(Then) architecture student Maya Lin and her game-changing surprise hit star in this episode of Archinect's From the Ground Up feature series. "the effect of walking down into the V is literally stunning; descending into the abyss, but with no fear, just awe — at everything: the removal of the city as if a time warp; the names, the names the names, the names, more and more and more and ever," comments Archinector jeromemorleylarsonsr.

Hey Elon, are you on it? It's rocket science, sort of.

So many structures, so little time. We've compiled some of the most impressive temporary art and architecture in Black Rock City this year.

↑ Japanese photographer Hisaharu Motada envisions a post-apocalyptic Tokyo
