dear designboom reader,

architects transform familiar styles and built forms of the united states with captivating interventions. in an existing wooden barn in rural michigan, catie newell of alibi studio has cut out a triangular slice to allow the sky to permeate the building, making its facade appear like a 2D frame. meanwhile, in babylon, new york, architensions transforms the typical suburban home by adding a bold upper floor extension clad in pink tiles.

artists are also reshaping the architectural landscape of the country with new works that extend beyond the walls of a museum. in colorado, light artist james turrell unveiled a new permanent skyspace with a retractable roof where visitors can enjoy the slow-paced movement of the clouds and sky. also recently, the glenstone museum in potomac introduced a new concrete pavilion built to house richard serra's sculpture 'four rounds: equal weight, unequal measure'.

thanks for reading!
