designboom: new architecture across Europe
designboom's board of new European buildings, with 6,000+ pins from a Czech town hall retrofit to Cycladic holiday homes. Updated almost daily.
What it is
A Pinterest board from designboom, the online design and architecture magazine. Its description is short: all news and projects regarding architecture in Europe. It held more than 6,000 pins when we checked, and it's very much alive, with new projects added almost daily through September 2026.
Why we picked it
It's the easiest way to keep up with what's being built in Europe right now without following a dozen architecture sites. And the map is wider than the usual Paris, London and Berlin. Among the recent pins we saw: a 1969 modernist town hall in Přerov, Czech Republic, given a layered steel facade; a bold red multipurpose arena in Jihlava by Chybik + Kristof; five holiday homes in the Cyclades tucked into the landscape under planted roofs; a tower in Tirana clad in precast concrete panels inspired by traditional tapestries; a chapel in Fryšták; a Warsaw bakery with a shimmering golden ceiling; Peter Zumthor's expansion of the Fondation Beyeler near Basel; and a stone ruin in Iceland sheltered under a light polycarbonate roof.
Every pin links to the designboom article with photos and project details.
Where to start
- Scroll the latest pins for a snapshot of what's happening in European architecture this month.
- Open the Zumthor project for Fondation Beyeler if you follow the big names.
- Look for the renovations, like the Přerov town hall and the Icelandic ruin, to see how new work meets old structures.
- Save the board before a trip and build a route around recent buildings.
Who it's for
Architects and students who want a steady feed of new work. Travelers who seek out contemporary buildings. Anyone curious about how European cities are changing.
