You may have seen this chapel making the rounds, what you didn’t know: this island used to be a Napoleonic gunpowder depo 💥
‘Huff and a Puff’ by @huthhayden is a full-scale brick church, tilted forty degrees forward, topped with a ten-meter bell tower and a green metal roof. You walk in, take a pew, and notice the crucifix has a ribcage. The bell is inscribed with “not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.”
It sits on the Isola di San Giacomo, the former Napoleonic gunpowder depot that Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo has spent the last eight years quietly turning into one of the most interesting art spaces in Europe. The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo officially opened here on 7 May, and Hayden’s chapel is a permanent commission.
Other works that can be found on the island include a shockingly pink 15-foot tree by Pamela Rosenkranz, a silver space rocket by Goshka Macuga, and inside the old munitions stores, a solo show by Matt Copson curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
At the inauguration, Patrizia’s son noted the sun came out just in time. “Because we built a chapel” 🌅

In a surprise to no-one, gathering some of the world’s greatest cars around one of the world’s most glamorous villas is a solid formula for a fun weekend. 🥂
We’re of course talking about @fuoriconcorso, an annual event held on the grounds Villa del Grumello on the shores of Lake Como. Each year comes with a different theme, this one being the KraftMeister edition, celebrating Germany’s extensive contribution to automotive history.
Truthfully there are very few venues large enough to do that history justice, so think of this as more of a highlights reel, getting together the best Le Mans racers, rally cars and production models from 140 years of German car making. Swipe to explore our film snaps from the day 🎞️

The definition of a dreamscape 🌆
Travertine cubes in a park full of ginkgo trees, each one carved open and lined with polished stainless steel, set along a reflecting pool so still you genuinely cannot tell where the building ends and its reflection begins.
Designed by Atelier Xi, led by architect Song Ke, the AYDC Public Art Centre takes its name from the Yi language of Guizhou province: “A Yun Duo Cang” translates loosely as “our land of dreams.” What began as a single building was broken into a constellation of pavilions, each with its own personality. The Xima Library frames a sunken reading pit in warm timber shelving; the Ginkgo Chapel’s two intersecting vaults meet at a point sharp as a blade; the Dali Stage flows between the structures in terracotta red like a river finding its own course.
At dusk, the curved stainless-steel interiors, inspired by Guizhou’s caves, catch the light and turn gold. The whole complex glows against the skyline like a collection of lanterns, doubled in the water below.
What we love most is that none of it is precious or pre. People sit in the reading pit, kids explore the amphitheater, couples wander through the chapel. Architecture as public gift. Swipe right to explore all of it.

Designed by Atelier Xi, led by architect Song Ke, the AYDC Public Art Centre takes its name from the Yi language of Guizhou province: “A Yun Duo Cang” translates loosely as “our land of dreams.” What began as a single building was broken into a constellation of pavilions, each with its own personality. The Xima Library frames a sunken reading pit in warm timber shelving; the Ginkgo Chapel’s two intersecting vaults meet at a point sharp as a blade; the Dali Stage flows between the structures in terracotta red like a river finding its own course.
At dusk, the curved stainless-steel interiors, inspired by Guizhou’s caves, catch the light and turn gold. The whole complex glows against the skyline like a collection of lanterns, doubled in the water below.
What we love most is that none of it is precious or pre. People sit in the reading pit, kids explore the amphitheater, couples wander through the chapel. Architecture as public gift. Swipe right to explore all of it.

In 2024, Shigeru Ban’s Simose Art Museum in Hiroshima Prefecture was named the world’s most beautiful museum by the Prix Versailles architecture awards. Looking at it, the title feels almost understated 🎨
Built along the edge of the Seto Inland Sea, the museum centers on a vast reflective water basin containing eight movable glass pavilions, inspired by the islands scattered across the nearby coastline. Using technology developed through Hiroshima’s shipbuilding industry, the galleries can be repositioned depending on the exhibition. The museum is literally designed to change over time.
Behind the pavilions, a 180-meter mirrored glass wall reflects mountains, sea, and sky back onto themselves until the whole property feels strangely disorienting in the best possible way. Nothing fully reveals itself at once.
What makes Simose especially remarkable is that you can stay there. Ten private villas by Ban, including reinterpretations of the Paper House and Wall-Less House, sit scattered across the 4.6-hectare grounds.
Guests access the museum outside public hours: early morning fog drifting across the water, reflections moving with the wind, an entire world-class museum almost completely to yourself.

Before Chaoffice got to it, this site in Junxiang village outside Beijing was a wasteland 🌾
It was in a state of deca with collapsed walls, rubble, stray animals, and spiders the size of your palm. Three years later it’s one of the most playful, textured homes we’ve seen in China, and possibly the only five-bedroom house on earth with a metal slide connecting the upper terrace to the garden.
A 4.5-meter concrete cube, repeated and stacked across the terraced hillside, forms the structural grid. Reclaimed stones from the original collapsed building fill the frames, creating walls that look like they’ve been there for centuries. Inside, the mood shifts: warm plywood panelling, slatted timber screens, and Noguchi paper lanterns in a double-height living space with a quietly Japanese restraint.
Despite being a serious bit of architecture, Chaoffice still left a little room for fun. A stainless-steel tube slide spirals down from the upper level. A sunken outdoor bathtub looks out at the mountains. A tree grows through a gap in the terrace. The result is something between a rural retreat and an adventure park, designed by someone who understands materials.

Three years later it’s one of the most playful, textured homes we’ve seen in China, and possibly the only five-bedroom house on earth with a metal slide connecting the upper terrace to the garden.
A 4.5-meter concrete cube, repeated and stacked across the terraced hillside, forms the structural grid. Reclaimed stones from the original collapsed building fill the frames, creating walls that look like they’ve been there for centuries. Inside, the mood shifts: warm plywood panelling, slatted timber screens, and Noguchi paper lanterns in a double-height living space with a quietly Japanese restraint.
Despite being a serious bit of architecture, Chaoffice still left a little room for fun. A stainless-steel tube slide spirals down from the upper level. A sunken outdoor bathtub looks out at the mountains. A tree grows through a gap in the terrace. The result is something between a rural retreat and an adventure park, designed by someone who understands materials.

Opening day @fuoriconcorso was a dream 😍
This year’s theme, KraftMeister, celebrates German craftsmanship and engineering perfection. Set along the beautiful Lake Como, this is one of those events we’ll not soon forget and one you should add to your calendar if you missed it this year.
Enjoy a selection of our favorite Porsches that were present and let us know which you like the most and why 👀

Barcelona is a difficult city to drive a car like this in, but when the right moment comes there isn’t anywhere like it.
During the week, emission restrictions keep many classics out of the city. But when the weekend comes, @mateomaartin’s 1975 Carrera 3.0 returns to where it makes sense: between the sea, the architecture, and the roads that lead out toward the hills. For him, that rhythm is part of the car’s character, it’s something you savour when it comes.
Mateo was born in Barcelona and grew up with Porsche close at hand. Now 21 years old, he’s studies Transportation Design at IED, and car culture is a central part of life.
“Porsche has been in my life since the day I was born. I’ve experienced the brand firsthand thanks to my father’s passion, which he passed down to me along with everything it means to own one. Over the years, I’ve realised that a Porsche isn’t just a car or an investment; driving it is a total immersion into a sea of sensations.”
That idea shapes the way he sees both the car and the world around it. Since 2023, Mateo has also co-led the Young Community within @porscheclubespana, helping create a space for younger enthusiasts to enter the marque on their own terms.
This particular 911 was already in Spain when Mateo’s father heard about it. What caught his attention was the model itself: a 1975 Carrera 3.0. “It was a car only manufactured between 1975 and 1976. Very few units were produced, and those from ’75 are even harder to find.”
If there is one place where the car feels most at home, it is Montseny. Roads like those are what keep older 911s relevant as something mechanical, tactile, and alive.
That same feeling is shared among the Young Community. For Mateo, the goal is not simply to gather owners, but to keep a legacy moving. Inside families, inside Spain, and between generations.

Five thousand books. One room. No internal walls 📚️
Masato Igarashi of @igaarchitects has designed himself a home on a 45-square-meter corner plot in Tokyo, essentially a single vertical space with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf as its spine.
Architecture books live on the ground floor, where the office is but climb higher and the collection shifts to manga, novels, and things that are “not work-related but a little more personal.” One Piece and Doraemon, for the record, are particular favorites.
The house is built from board-formed concrete blocks cast and cured on site, their surfaces carrying the grain of the timber formwork like a fingerprint. Warm timber floors and cabinetry soften what could have been a brutalist bunker into something unexpectedly gentle. Three staircases connect the mezzanine levels, each with its own character: one concrete, one steel, and one designed to look less like a staircase and more like furniture.
Masato lives here with his wife Tomoko, also an architect. No doors, no walls, no hiding. “We’ve become even closer since we moved in,” he laughs. “We can’t stay locked up in our rooms when we fight.” He hopes the house outlasts them both, perhaps becoming a cafe or museum one day. “Unlike clothes, you can’t just replace a house when you get bored of it.”

No doors, no walls, no hiding. “We’ve become even closer since we moved in,” he laughs. “We can’t stay locked up in our rooms when we fight.” He hopes the house outlasts them both, perhaps becoming a cafe or museum one day. “Unlike clothes, you can’t just replace a house when you get bored of it.”

Five thousand books. One room. No internal walls 📚️
Masato Igarashi of @igaarchitects has designed himself a home on a 45-square-meter corner plot in Tokyo, essentially a single vertical space with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf as its spine.
Architecture books live on the ground floor, where the office is but climb higher and the collection shifts to manga, novels, and things that are “not work-related but a little more personal.” One Piece and Doraemon, for the record, are particular favorites.
The house is built from board-formed concrete blocks cast and cured on site, their surfaces carrying the grain of the timber formwork like a fingerprint. Warm timber floors and cabinetry soften what could have been a brutalist bunker into something unexpectedly gentle. Three staircases connect the mezzanine levels, each with its own character: one concrete, one steel, and one designed to look less like a staircase and more like furniture.

Fifteen cars in three years and not one of them was right 🙆♂️
Rob’s hunt for a manual, Hong Kong-delivered 964 Carrera 2 was the kind of obsessive, borderline-irrational search that we can’t help but admire. In a city where Tiptronics dominated the ‘90s Porsche market, finding a proper three-pedal C2 was like looking for a needle in a very dense, very vertical haystack.
He started out wanting black. Every car he viewed had something wrong with it; a patchy history here, a questionable respray there. And then one day he found this one, painted in oak green, a colour he’d quietly loved since he was a kid playing Porsche Challenge on his PlayStation 1. When he went to sign the paperwork, he noticed something that sealed it: the previous owner shared his first and last name. Some things are just meant to be.
That was almost ten years ago, and Rob still daily drives it through the steep, narrow streets of Hong Kong Island. A lightweight flywheel keeps things entertaining, and a tropical AC upgrade means summer humidity is no match for the commitment.
“It’s just the right performance package for Hong Kong in my opinion,” he says. “It was the first Porsche I bought, and somehow the best suited for our roads. We don’t exactly have an abundance of space here. When I drove my GT3 or even 997 it’d just eat whatever road you drive down; the experience is over before you get a chance to enjoy it. But with the 964 C2 I can use it as it deserves to be used.”
And every time he parks in Central, an older finance guy inevitably stops to share a wistful story about the Porsche they had back in the day. Some cars are just meant to be 👌

When he went to sign the paperwork, he noticed something that sealed it: the previous owner shared his first and last name. Some things are just meant to be.
That was almost ten years ago, and Rob still daily drives it through the steep, narrow streets of Hong Kong Island. A lightweight flywheel keeps things entertaining, and a tropical AC upgrade means summer humidity is no match for the commitment.
“It’s just the right performance package for Hong Kong in my opinion,” he says. “It was the first Porsche I bought, and somehow the best suited for our roads. We don’t exactly have an abundance of space here. When I drove my GT3 or even 997 it’d just eat whatever road you drive down; the experience is over before you get a chance to enjoy it. But with the 964 C2 I can use it as it deserves to be used.”
And every time he parks in Central, an older finance guy inevitably stops to share a wistful story about the Porsche they had back in the day. Some cars are just meant to be 👌

Roughly 20 911R models were made from 1966 to ‘67... and nearly one fourth of them recently met up a limestone quarry in East Tennessee 🤯
In addition to these rare specimens, Porsche Plática’s 2026 brought together some of the most distinctive examples of the model’s 2016 homage, tucked within the sculptured limestone walls and verdant forests of The Quarry Venue, one of those settings that feels almost too beautiful to be real, let alone to park some of the most significant Porsches ever made inside.
The centerpiece was a lineup of 30+ 991-generation 911 R examples, arranged alongside a full spectrum of 911s and GT models in nearly every configuration and color imaginable. Paint-to-sample 997 GT3 RS builds, a genuine Porsche 917, a 962 and 962C all sharing the same limestone walls. Calling it a Porsche mecca almost feels like an understatement. Almost.
What makes Plática different from your average concours is what happens away from the static display. Group drives through the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway delivered some of the most scenic and spirited stretches of road in the country, and Flatrock Motor Club opened its 3.5-mile circuit to give nearly every generation of the 911 a chance to properly stretch its legs.
Plática is carving out its own identity on the eastern calendar, sitting alongside Luftgekühlt and Air|Water but with a warmth and intimacy that feels distinctly Tennessean. The name translates to “conversation” in Spanish, and that spirit genuinely runs through every corner of it.

Với dịch vụ này, bạn có thể tải xuống nội dung và thưởng thức ngoại tuyến bất cứ lúc nào. Nếu bạn tìm thấy điều gì đó thú vị trên Instagram mà bạn muốn xem sau này hoặc muốn xem câu chuyện mà vẫn giữ ẩn danh, Trình Xem của chúng tôi là lựa chọn hoàn hảo. Anonstories cung cấp giải pháp tuyệt vời để giữ kín danh tính của bạn. Instagram ra mắt tính năng Câu Chuyện vào tháng 8 năm 2023, và nhanh chóng được các nền tảng khác áp dụng do định dạng hấp dẫn và nhạy cảm với thời gian. Câu Chuyện cho phép người dùng chia sẻ cập nhật nhanh, bất kể là ảnh, video, hay selfie, được bổ sung với văn bản, emoji, hoặc bộ lọc, và chỉ hiển thị trong 24 giờ. Khoảng thời gian giới hạn này tạo ra mức độ tương tác cao so với các bài đăng thường xuyên. Trong thế giới ngày nay, Câu Chuyện là một trong những cách phổ biến nhất để kết nối và giao tiếp trên mạng xã hội. Tuy nhiên, khi bạn xem một Câu Chuyện, người tạo có thể thấy tên của bạn trong danh sách người xem, điều này có thể gây lo ngại về quyền riêng tư. Nếu bạn muốn duyệt Câu Chuyện mà không bị phát hiện, Anonstories sẽ hữu ích. Nó cho phép bạn xem nội dung công khai trên Instagram mà không tiết lộ danh tính của mình. Chỉ cần nhập tên người dùng của hồ sơ mà bạn tò mò và công cụ này sẽ hiển thị Câu Chuyện mới nhất của họ.
