Italian architect and industrial designer Gaetano Pesce has passed away at the age of 84, as announced today on the creator's official Instagram page. Known for the famous UP5 Chair (2000) by B&B Italia which can be compressed like a sponge, and the Organic Building in Osaka, Japan (1993), with a vertical garden irrigated by a complex, computer-controlled hydration system, Pesce dedicated over six decades to his craft, accumulating a portfolio that spanned architecture, product design, and art.
During Milan Design Week 2024, a monographic exhibition titled "Nice to See You" showing at Biblioteca Ambrosiana, is set to feature unreleased works of Gaetano Pesce. Additionally, Gaetano was presenting "L’Uomo Stanco" an outdoor installation in Piazza San Pio XI.

A recent survey made by our development team revealed that one out of four architects and designers identifies working conditions as their biggest frustration at the workplace. If architecture has been pushed to open and become more proactive, propositive, and inclusive, then finding your dream job should not be that hard either.
At ArchDaily, we are constantly exposed to the work that many organizations and architects do to help local communities worldwide. We therefore wanted to broaden our reach and use our platform to try and support NGOs that rely on architecture and construction in their mission; spreading the word and connecting them with active members of our global community.
From social, racial, economic inequity to virtual, immersive environments, the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping trends and pushing societies to discuss how we will live together in the future.
In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last decades with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion. Architects and designers from all over the world are embracing these challenges by pondering their roles and exploring their own practical approaches.
After over a decade curating the best architecture, at ArchDaily we know that no one builds alone. Shaping our built environment demands close collaborations and partnerships between architects, designers, and hundreds of other professionals committed to each project. This is why it is time to recognize and highlight the best collaborators responsible for delivering the best architecture, while we continue delivering valuable knowledge related to the different disciplines within our community.
ArchDaily Professionals is an initiative that focuses on all of the collaborators involved in the architecture and construction process, who participated and are credited in the projects we curate.
