Creative Boom’s feature by Tom May explores photographer Xavier Nuez’s 25-year project 'Alleys & Ruins', a series of light-painted photographs of derelict American spaces.

The forthcoming book, published by Gypsy Press, is both a visual and psychological exploration of beauty emerging from decay.
Praktika, a Lithuanian architecture and branding studio, has developed a new identity for the National Institute of Architecture in Kaunas. Drawing inspiration from the building’s black-and-white folk floor tiles, the studio created a flexible grid-based system and mosaic-like logo that can adapt across print, digital, and spatial applications. The design merges cultural heritage with modernist structure, reflecting the institute’s mission of openness and adaptability.
