Architecture has always held a special place at Moss and Fog. Long before we were sharing AI-inspired design, future tech, or surreal photography, we were obsessing over the spaces people dare to imagine and then bring to life.

Here are ten of the top architecture-related posts from Moss and Fog 2025.

A timeless New York icon becomes a canvas for surreal imagination. From floating facades to impossible proportions, these reworks remind us how architecture can live beyond bricks and steel.
