Festivities for the first Chicago Architecture Biennial—the only architecture biennial in North America—kicked off yesterday, October 3, at the Chicago Cultural Center (the Chicago Tribune calls it "a sprawling, captivating mixed bag"). Highlights include four lakefront kiosks commissioned for the festival to augment Chicago parks; one kiosk was chosen by competition, and the other three are contributions from Chicago architecture schools. All will be on display in Millennium Park. Read more at Crain's.

Airbnb bought Russian industrial design firm Lapka, a five-person outfit whose products include a minimalist breathalyzer and an iPhone-compatible air quality sensor. Why? Fast Company is guessing that as the $24 billion room-rental platform aims to expand its reach in the travel industry, devices might be in order: maybe check-in sensors or branded key locks.

London's Royal College of Art—named the world's top art and design school earlier this year by rankings group QS—has suspended admissions to its Design Interactions focus after several senior staff members departed earlier this year and the school failed to replace them in time. The cancellation has attracted further unflattering reports, including one of an open student letter lamenting the "undesirable deterioration of education" at the school, a silent student protest on school spending in May, and seemingly high rates of senior staff turnover. Read it at Dezeen and The Independent.

Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron released renderings of the new Vancouver Art Gallery, to be developed on the last plot of vacant land in downtown Vancouver. The design resembles a tower of stacked wooden blocks, with low-rise levels near the street and taller and wider blocks up top. Past projects by the Pritzker Prize winners include the Tate Modern, Prada Tokyo, and the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Read it at ArchDaily.
