Volunteers Move 360-Ton Hirosaki Castle Keep Back to Its Original Base

Around 1,800 volunteers in Aomori, Japan, used ropes and rollers to drag a 360-tonne Hirosaki Castle keep about 2 meters toward its original base as part of ongoing preservation. The move, using the hikiya technique on rails, followed a wall restoration completed in 2024; the effort drew thousands of applicants from across Japan and overseas. The relocation will continue through August (about 4,100 people expected to move the total 5 meters), with machinery handling the remaining 73 meters by year-end, after which the keep is slated to reopen to visitors in 2033.

Sunlit Renewal Transforms a Red-Brick Victorian Home

A Princes Hill red-brick Victorian home is renovated by BENT Architecture to replace a dark 1970s rear extension with a light-filled rear addition that opens onto the garden, preserves the original façade under a heritage overlay, reconfigures the interior into an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, and repurposes a rear outbuilding as a studio with ensuite, while timber walls and ceilings blur the line between inside and out.

Canada's PM launches two-day Ireland visit to deepen ties and roots

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Dublin for a two-day visit to strengthen Ireland–Canada ties, meeting Taoiseach Micheál Martin and outlining a bilateral framework covering trade, life sciences, research, security and defence. He will visit Dublin and Mayo to connect with his Irish roots, including his grandparents’ home in Aghagower, and attend events at Dublin Castle and Trinity College. The trip follows growth in bilateral trade (about €3.2bn in 2016 to €12bn in 2024) and a 131% rise in Canadian investment, with the last Canadian PM’s visit to Ireland in 2017.

Stitching Memory: Palestinian Tatreez in Fashion and Resistance

Tatreez, the centuries-old Palestinian embroidery usually made by women from different regions, is framed as both cultural heritage and a political act of resistance. After 1948, motifs and colors gained political meaning, UNESCO recognized tatreez as intangible heritage, and it now features in major European museum shows and contemporary design (e.g., Ayham Hassan’s work) as a living language of identity. Community tatreez circles and exhibitions at MoMu and the V&A Dundee highlight the craft’s relevance beyond ornament, celebrating Palestinian culture, land, and resilience.
