The modular, lightweight structure dialogues with the formerly abandoned Brutalist building housing the museum, transforming its skeletal concrete structure and its surrounding land into spaces for use, care, and encounter. The project reflects on the boundaries between unfinished urban architecture and the landscape, foregrounding the labor and stewardship often invisible in both urban and institutional contexts.

Thanks to the way Google's for years now been deconstructing Android and pulling OS-level pieces out of the operating system itself - so they exist as regular ol' apps and can consequently be updated quickly, frequently, and in a way that reaches everyone instantly, regardless of what phone or carrier they're using - even Android phones from eight years ago get updates numerous times a year that are all virtually equivalent to an entire iOS operating system rollout.

We had already heard of 'next-gen SIEM'. This is a system that replaces traditional rule-based logging with automatic recognition of complex threats. It was designed to reduce noise on the line for SecOps personnel by reducing the number of false positives. However, according to Abstract CEO and co-founder Colby DeRodeff, this was only the beginning. He believes that a real 'reset' is needed, in the form of an 'AI-Gen Composable SIEM'.

Dun'ao Village in Xiangshan, Ningbo, sits inland among low hills and rice fields. The project began with a desire to reflect the calm, poetic atmosphere of this secluded landscape. Instead of rigid architectural frameworks, we initiated the design with sketches and poems, aiming for lightness, openness, and play. We revitalized three abandoned utility structures using a combination of steel containers and inflatable forms.

Hugging Face has announced the first release candidate of Transformers v5. This marks an important step for the Transformers library, which has evolved significantly since the v4 release five years ago. It has transitioned from a specialized model toolkit to a key resource in AI development, currently recording over three million installations per day, with a total of more than 1.2 billion installs.

Conceived as a public structure addressing the limited availability of comfortable beachfront space, the pavilion forms a geometric intervention within the Adriatic landscape. Its triangular plan incorporates an open central void and a perimeter walkway that supports activities such as swimming, resting, and small-scale gatherings. The pavilion's form produces a defined relationship between water, city, and port, framing views and creating varied spatial conditions depending on movement, light, and tide.
