Currently in construction, The Qatar National Museum designed by Jean Nouvel features interlocking discs inspired by the desert rose and is said to be representative of the links between Bedouin culture and global modernity. 📷 via @architizer

"Highlighting the influence and obscurity that define his career" fashion meets art meets department store at Rick Owens‘ retrospective, “Subhuman Inhuman Superhuman" at @BarneysNY. The in-store exhibit comes fresh off the back of his successful run at the Triennale di Milano.

How have the architectural legacies of the past impacted on the possibilities of future cities? The first exhibition to explore postmodernism in British architecture has opened at @soanemuseum. On display will be a look into a selection of pivotal works by key players in the movement, including Terry Farrell who designed the famous SIS/MI6 Building on London's South Bank.

It's no wonder 'Svizzera 240: House Tour' took home The Golden Lion over the weekend during @labiennale. Switzerland, whose pavilion was admired for providing "a compelling exhibition which was enjoyable while tackling the critical issues of scale in domestic space", was one of our favourites. 📷 via @jacopo_salvi // @wilsonwootton

Head to the link in our bio for an exclusive interview with our newest ambassador and formidable creative, @alessiodenavasques. The co-creator of @artisanalintelligence, a platform devoted to celebrating young Italian fashion design gives us his view on the impact museums will have on future cities and a low down on some of his favourites including the famous Museo del Novecento (pictured) in Milan. 📷 via @museodel900

'Soft power', created by people through persuasion, attraction and agenda setting in opposition to force and finance (i.e. 'hard power') is an increasingly vital element in the development of cities. @LCDTravel in partnership with #LordCulturalResources will be weighing in on the discussion and hosting the Valletta Soft Power Destinations Salon which will be held in London on May 30. Visit our website via the link in our bio for tickets!

Don't miss the chance to take part in 'The Florence Experiment' created by artist Carsten Höller and neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. Open until August 26, this installation explores the relationship between biological life and humans- random visitors are asked to descend the slide with a living plant before the plant's reaction is measured in a basement laboratory! 📷 via luke_88t
