I was walking around with Richard Howarth and Julian Hönig; they stared, slightly dazed, at people handling objects that only they had handled for years. When a product demonstrator gave me his pitch, they interrupted with design footnotes. “The materials in this thing are insane,” Howarth said. People, he noted, were saying that the watch’s face was made of “sapphire glass”: “It’s not glass, it’s sapphire crystal—completely different structure. And then the stainless steel is super-hardened. And the zirconia ceramic on the back is co-finished with sapphire as well.” He added, “This would cost so much money if a different company was making it—Rolex or something. It would be a hundred grand or something.”

“I’m shy,” Ive said. His London accent is intact after more than twenty years away. “I’m always focussed on the actual work, and I think that’s a much more succinct way to describe what you care about than any speech I could ever make.” He sounded calm, but he was fidgeting with his hands, as if trying to flick gum from his fingertips.

In 2008, Mr. Koolhaas and a partner, Christopher van Duijn, were enlisted to reimagine a former, turn-of-the-century distillery Prada owned as the foundation’s permanent home. Walled-in, abutting a weedy stretch of railroad tracks, the distillery was a picturesque assortment of dilapidated stables, a bottling facility, a carriage house, some offices and warehouses.

The aluminum-intensive form of the Range Rover Velar is not just light and stiff, it’s also exceptionally streamlined. Close collaboration from the outset between the Design and Engineering teams, together with exhaustive computational fluid dynamics simulation and wind tunnel testing, delivered a drag coefficient from just 0.32Cd. This makes the Velar extremely aerodynamic, and contributes significantly to its exceptional refinement.

(4)    Please remember that the safety belts in a vehicle constitute the primary protection system for driver and passengers in collisions. Airbags are not designed to deploy in all collisions. The airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is a supplement to the safety belts and is designed to work as a system with the safety belts. Although airbags provide additional protection, airbags without safety belts do not provide optimal protection in a crash. Always wear your safety belts. Children younger than 13 years old should always be properly restrained in a back seat, away from airbags. Never place an infant seat in the front seat.

Each of the fabricated surfaces has been characterized during pool boiling of saturated water at atmospheric conditions using a custom built experimental apparatus. The complete details of the apparatus, testing procedures, and experimental uncertainty can be found in the Methods Section as well as prior publications14,19. Briefly, each surface was soldered to an insulated copper heater block and submerged in a bath of saturated water. The heat flux delivered to the surface, q”, is periodically increased in small increments and the system is left to reach thermal equilibrium, typically 10–20 minutes. After this the surface temperature and heat flux are recorded, and the process is repeated up until the CHF is reached. CHF is taken as the highest stable heat flux prior to the uncontrollable increase in surface temperature associated with dry-out. The average wall temperature at the surface of the sample, , is measured using a thermocouple placed at the top of the heater block, and accounts for the various thermal resistances between this thermocouple and the surface. These include the resistances across the solder interface and bulk copper14,19, as well as the resistance across the composite copper-epoxy region near the surface of the sample. While the embedded epoxy produces in-plane temperature variations on the surface, it does not greatly impact the overall thermal resistance of the sample itself. For the extremely thin samples tested in this work (1 mm thickness), the increase in overall thermal resistance of the substrate was ~6% for the N = 4 cm−1 design. For a more realistic wall thickness of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm), the increase in thermal resistance associated with adding embedded epoxy divisions drops to less than 1%.

“We put stairs on the outside or inside along with flooring, drywall, heating and cooling systems and lighting. These are nice extra spaces and are becoming much desired spaces."

Moving onto the whole ‘Live’ aspect, my unit is the Google Earth ‘Rock’ dual-layer model. Setup is pretty interesting. After installing the ‘Live Case’ app from the Play Store and logging into your Google account, you’re told to grab the four-digit code that’s printed inside the case (on both the polycarbonate and TPU layers, in the dual-layer version’s case). Enter this code, which presumably identifies what kind of case you purchased exactly, and you’re in.

Below a closer look at some of the interesting details of the L10 platform. From left to right the external antenna pass-through block, an example of the sealing of I/O blocks, and on the right the thermal management system with its heat pipe and fan.

The tower completes the arts campus OMA has spent the past decade conceiving for the Prada Foundation. An offshoot of the global fashion conglomerate, dedicated to contemporary art and culture, the foundation commissions new art, presents exhibitions and organizes film festivals and other events. It also oversees the vast art collection Ms. Prada and her husband, Patrizio Bertelli, have put together. For years, it operated in far-flung locales.
