In this week’s architecture and design video round-up (above), the Shiroiya Hotel in Japan occupies a former ryokan that operated for more than 300 years while a new Garden Tower mimics the grassy banks of the Tonegawa River. In Russia, architect Eduard Eremchuk and designer Katy Pititskaya drew inspiration from sticky-sweet doughnuts when creating the delectable Cafe Krujok.

The New York Botanical Garden has announced the opening of its expansive exhibition for 2021. Titled ‘KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature’, the eye-popping survey features work by internationally celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

And finally this week, take a look at House Au-Yeung by TRIBE Studio. The beautifully renovated home is just one of many projects featured in Materiality 2021, a new cloth-bound publication by Brickworks. Register now for your free copy.
