Vertical neighbours in Barcelona, by Roldán + Berengué
Roldán + Beregué Architectes have designed the Torre Plaça Europa council housing building. Different openings and setbacks have been introduced in the façade and the remaining volumes have been split up and composed to generate a tower with five apparent levels although it is actually a 15 storey volume.

Cevisama 2010
The latest edition of Cevisama 2010, the International Show for Ceramics in Architecture and Bathroom and Kitchen Equipment, and the International Natural Stone and Machinery Fair, have decided to bring together their efforts to unify their offer in an attempt to meet market demands. The common denominator in this edition has been the importance given to environmental issues as is clear in many of the novelties that have been on display.
A french Pigeon Loft
To change with the times or die. This, surely, was the idea that motivated the members of the La Défense pigeon fanciers’ club to join the Fondation de France’s Nouveaux Commanditaires programme, which, in turn, put them in touch with the designer Matali Crasset. With a view to promoting the uncommon custom of breeding and training pigeons, Crasset submitted the idea of “Le pigeonnier, capsule”, a futurist loft in which both birds and trainers can feel completely at home.
