Addition of ceiling treatments improves acoustics at Temple University School of Architecture | Polycarbonate Embossed Sheet

a layer of metal mesh suspends above the office area, emphasizing the boundary and softening the direct sunlight

Arte Povera isn’t the only ghost of midcentury modernism inhabiting the project — there’s the twee cafe, with its Formica furniture and veneered wood paneling; the new tower restaurant, with its furniture bought at auction from New York’s Four Seasons; the cinema, with chairs imported from ’70s-era Milanese movie houses; and the sun-baked, deeply shadowed squares, conjuring up de Chirico.

Seconded. My tiles always get damaged or destroyed (or shifted) and hand drawn maps that large could take a while to crank out by hand. Looks like a good system to use with miniatures like you say. I was not hip to roll20 so will have to give it a look over lunch

The Tough Armor manages to combine good looks with a lot of protection. You can tell that it’s beefy, but it’s all contained within a modern body. It’s a dual-layer case, with a thick layer of TPU wrapping around the phone and a hard plastic soft-touch panel that seems to be made out of the same material that the Thin Fit is. That means that while it looks and feels good, it attracts fingerprints like flies. The two pieces combine to form a sort of beveled edge on the side, which is a nice stylistic touch and one that Spigen’s been doing for a while.

X-Wood Cladding from Freefoam Building Products, the manufacturer of PVC-U and PVC-UE building products for roofline and rainwater applications, has been used on the front and rear elevation of a ‘stunning’ new home on the outskirts of York.

MINOR lab transforms a traditional hutong residence in beijing‘s old-town area, into an office and exhibition space of PAGEONE bookstore. the structure, located in a hutong – a type of narrow street – has operated as a hostel since 1998, while in 2014 it was converted into a small theater using steel. given that its function will change again soon, the architects adopted a light and flexible approach, retaining memories of the site and keeping the dynamics of the city and the street while refining the main structure.

The worktables are higher than a desk but a little lower than the Apple Store tables they inspired. This height—arrived at after much reflection—accommodates seated study and standing visits. (Risking self-parody, Ive later referred to the “simplicity and modesty” of the arrangement.) Samsung Electronics sells vacuum cleaners as well as phones, and employs a thousand designers. Apple’s intentions can be revealed in one room. Each table serves a single product, or product part, or product concept; some of these objects are scheduled for manufacture; others might come to market in three or five years, or never. “A table can get crowded with a lot of different ideas, maybe problem-solving for one particular feature,” Hönig, the former Lamborghini designer, later told me. Then, one day, all the clutter is gone. He laughed: “It’s just the winner, basically. What we collectively decided is the best.” The designers spend much of their time handling models and materials, sometimes alongside visiting Apple engineers. Jobs used to come by almost every day. Had I somehow intruded an hour earlier, I would have seen an exhibition of the likely future. Now all but a few tables were covered in sheets of gray silk, and I knew only that that future would be no taller than an electric kettle.

Advanced technology is pivotal to the contemporary design: the full-LED headlights are the most slender ever to appear on a production Land Rover vehicle. The flush deployable door handles on the Range Rover Velar help emphasize a taut, elegant design language and contribute to a coefficient of drag of only 0.32Cd making it the most aerodynamically efficient Land Rover vehicle to date.
