Fuyang Cultural Context by Amateur Architecture Studio “This building suggests another way to deal with the present and the future while acknowledging the past and the everyday, without ever being cliched or talking about vernacular. It's a huge lesson for all” – @Piers_Taylor

La Congiunta di Giornico by Peter Märkli. "One of the most profound buildings ever." – @brunotonelli “It's a small world apart. An atmosphere so powerful that you forget the entire world outside, but so unobtrusive that the sculptures can be experienced as in a blank space."

Chicken Church by Daniel Alamsjah “What better place for an escapist quarantine fantasy than a gigantic concrete bird in the Indonesian jungle?" – @ollywainwright "It is the work of Alamsjah, who received a vision telling him to build a prayer house in the shape of a dove."

"'Actually, it did look like a dove – in the beginning,’ recalls a member of the construction crew. ‘But then we added the crown. Daniel wanted it to symbolise holiness, but people thought it was a rooster crest. So they started calling it a chicken instead of a dove.'”
