A Non-denominational timber Chapel Despite being far from perfect, this video, partly made with AI, conveys the idea of light entering the chapel as it follows the path of the sun. AI is used to help express the underlying idea of the project, not to create anything new, which is fundamental to me.

The Swiss are building a 27 storey timber skyscraper in Zurich, with 10-stacked vertical neighbourhoods, each housing 22 apartments A thread 🧵

“In like 95% of situations where a disengagement or accident happens with autonomous vehicles, it’s a very regular, routine situation for humans.” Tech companies claimed autonomous vehicles would reduce congestion. They add to it. Why would we believe any of their claims, especially about safety?

The fresco restoration work marks the culmination of a series of interventions we have carried out on this sanctuary since 2006. In 2008, I designed an extension to the church and we restored the adjoining house. In 2011, we designed an access path for wheelchair users. And now, the frescoes.

The other buildings of downtown: normative fabric. The everyday structures that don’t stand out, but frame the landmarks we notice. Often overlooked, they’re the backbone of downtowns. When cities value them, real local character emerges. #detroit #urbanobservations

Have to laugh at the McDonalds ad on the front cover of the metro this morning in London. Obviously the redacted menu 😆

Extremely interesting article, especially the 2nd part. IMHO, the main difference between a humans and AI is not the way they think (which, a part from AI being binary, could be not so different, as some people start to think), but consciousness. And the relationship btwn consciousness & thinking.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

The latest issue of @social.architectural-review.com, AR House, is, as always, a marvel. With a mix of revisits and new houses, it really showcases radical thinking on the subject. Casa El Amarillo, among others, has been an epiphany for me.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Clearly we see too much disregard for expertise and truth (implemented in an ignorant manner) is dangerous. Some of our current valuing of expertise might be an effort to position ourselves as having a more ethical alternative to that mindset, or to Silicon Valley’s related tabula rasa worldview.

With today’s politics though we see an extreme version of some of those situations. We’re under a regime of right-wing postmodernism in which leaders can make any statement & assume its contradictions will resolve themselves, because they’ve embraced contradiction where older conservatives couldn’t.
