Harmonizing nature and domestic living: Get to know the works of NO ARCHITECTURE

A holistic approach to design and architecture becomes apparent when we delve into the work of NO ARCHITECTURE, an architectural practice based in New York, founded by Andrew Heid in 2014. The firm’s portfolio and research showcase an integrative way of building, with projects demonstrating a close connection between the built environment and their immediate surroundings, whether in natural landscapes or urban contexts. Their programs emphasize flexibility, possibilities, and inclusion, prioritizing human well-being above all.

Ranging from private residences and interior design to museums and public spaces, NO ARCHITECTURE’s work primarily focuses on connecting urban and domestic life with natural environments, thereby enhancing the best of both worlds.

New skyscraper in Oklahoma City granted ‘unlimited’ height 

It could just be the never-ending skyscraper.

realcommercial.com.au reports that in Oklahoma City — where plans are underway for what would be, at 1,907 feet (581m) high, the tallest building in the US — developer Matteson Capital has now received the green light to build a tower without any height restrictions.

Last week, the Oklahoma City Council approved a new zoning application for the controversial Legends Tower removing height restrictions that were part of the original plan, which called for it to be built to 1,750 feet high.

That height would have made it the nation’s second tallest building after Manhattan’s One World Trade, which — as a nod to America — rises to 1,776 feet.
