Admire art exhibitions galore, including new shows at Best Practice, Bread & Salt, and the Athenaeum Art Center, all located at

If you caught a glimpse of last night’s solar eclipse, consider yourself lucky. But for those who missed it, there is fortunately much more than just blood moons to see this week in San Diego. Sports supporters can cheer on the Mojo and the Gulls, live music fans can catch concerts from Aimee Mann a

Need help deciding which of La Jolla’s seemingly endless beaches to lay your towel out at today? Each little sandy sliver between the neighborhood’s sea cliffs has its own name and character: the Cove for swimming, Children’s Pool for seal-watching, Wipeout Beach for skim-boarding. Head to La Jolla

“Apocalypse homes” may sound dramatic, but the principle behind them is practical: protection. In a world shaped by pandemics, political instability, and war, architecture is shifting toward privacy, structural strength, and controlled access without sacrificing design or comfort. This is not about

San Diegans can take advantage of this weekend’s mid-70s forecast by spending time outdoors, attending new plays and exploring cultural events. Admire the beauty of mother nature during the five-day San Diego Bird Festival and the seasonal opening of The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. Watch new pr

“Music, art, and dance are the weapon of the future,” says DJ and cultural leader Makeda “Dread” Cheatom. She would know, having witnessed their power firsthand as a collaborator of some of the most legendary stars in reggae music—and as the founder of San Diego’s Bob Marley Day and the World Beat C

A wedding is a lot like falling in love and opening a spreadsheet at the same time. It plays out like a Hollywood rom-com, with laughter between kisses, lace samples pinned to vision boards, and a refrigerator overflowing with red velvet and jasmine-infused buttercream cake tastings. Then the invoic

On the day before their wedding, Alejandro “Jano” Galindo and Dr. Maria Jose “MJ” Galindo weren’t juggling timelines or hustling through the chaos of seating-chart tweaks and last-minute changes. They were rolling out their mats—yoga for him, Pilates for her. “When we sat down to plan, we didn’t sta

Strewn among the rolling hills of northern Escondido are granite boulders so huge they look like something from Jurassic Park. Snuggled among them, a new home is so closely connected with nature that it brings one massive rock inside as a major design element—and that’s only one example of how this

It’s hard to overstate how radically the 1915 Panama-California Exposition catapulted San Diego into the future. The Panama Canal had just opened; the halves of the world were finally connected and the cultural possibilities (and tourism dollars) seemed endless. After passing through the canal on th

From a distance, this Michigan Lake House looks almost reserved. Dark, low, stretched across the landscape like it is trying not to interrupt anything. Then you notice how the volumes step with the land, how the roofline follows the bluff instead of fighting it, and how the house opens itself only w

In the rolling shadow of Quebec’s Sutton Mountains, what was once a dilapidated agricultural relic has been artfully coaxed into a stunning contemporary retreat. Tasked by a city-dwelling couple to create a festive sanctuary for social gatherings, the Canadian architecture studio La Firme chose pres

Gambrel roofs are often dismissed as traditional or purely functional, but the homes using them right now tell a different story. These 25 gambrel roof homes go beyond the expected, using the shape to unlock space, control scale, and give otherwise simple structures a stronger architectural identity

From a distance, the form reads as a traditional Ukrainian hata. A steep thatched roof rises from the snow. Closer in, the enclosure disappears. Designed by YOD Group, this guesthouse reinterprets the hata-mazanka by removing its defining element: thick walls. In their place, a continuous curved gla

From the outside, the rear of this Antwerp townhouse reads as a quiet glass wall. Flat, controlled, almost reserved. Nothing signals movement. Then the panels rotate, and what looked like fixed glazing reveals itself as two enormous pivoting openings that swing the house wide open to the garden. Des

An audial mashup of Beethoven and Beyoncé, the historical handcraft exhibition Staying Power and the annual Kook Run are just a few of the highlights in this weekend’s event roundup. Experience the filmography of Georges Méliès through a larger-than-life retrospective or take in the soothing vibraph

Set in the countryside outside Madison, Georgia, this rustic modern barn house balances restoration character with modern livability. Designed by Southern Landscape Designs in collaboration with Liz Williams Interiors, the home was conceived as a long-term retreat that could evolve from weekend use

Baan Moom looks minimal from the outside, but the main idea is inside. Instead of adding rooms or square footage, the architects changed how the floor works. Designed by Integrated Field, the house stacks all functions into three levels to keep the ground open for garden and pool. That move created
