Arquitectonica Gathering (Spaces for Connection, Culture, and Community)

Arquitectonica leads the way with bold and human-centered designs for public spaces and buildings that bring people together to gather, learn, perform, and celebrate.

With each project in this book, Arquitectonica redefines urban spaces, creating environments that inspire, engage, and bring communities together.

Richly illustrated with many unpublished projects and behind-the-scenes sketches, and paired with contributions from leading architects, this volume celebrates the firm’s visionary approach to architecture as a catalyst for shared experience.

At the Dijon Performing Arts & Convention Center, Arquitectonica unifies performance halls and public plazas into a single civic destination that anchors the city’s cultural life. In Hong Kong’s Festival Walk—the firm’s debut project in East Asia—the practice reimagines the shopping center as a vertical, transit-connected urban hub. In Miami, projects like the American Airlines Arena and Brickell City Centre demonstrate Arquitectonica’s ability to deliver large-scale, mixed-use developments that activate waterfronts, connect neighborhoods, and redefine the city’s skyline.

Elegantly packaged in a cloth-bound volume with jacket, the book is both a visual journey and a thoughtful exploration of architecture’s power to shape how we live, work, and connect.
