Summer 2026

The June/July/August 2026 edition of AZURE is dedicated to our 16th annual AZ Awards — and also features the best of Milan, the New Museum’s expansion, the latest in building envelope systems and more!

The AZ Awards issue packs much more than our winners and finalists — though they certainly take pride of place. (And you can read all about them on our dedicated AZ Awards site.)

Inspired by block printing since the 1990s, when Van Der Hurd began travelling to India, the new Opticality collection perfectly captures the charming imperfections that are part of this traditional process.
