Studio Gang Reveals Design for Womens Leadership Center in Wisconsin, United StatesSave this picture! Studio GangStudio Gang, led by Jeanne Gang, and Lincoln Road Enterprises, a philanthropic organization advancing women's leadership, have unveiled the design for the forthcoming Women's Leadership Center at Williams Bay. Located on an 8.6-acre site overlooking Geneva Lake in southeastern Wisconsin, the 24,000-square-foot retreat center is designed to support innovation, collaboration, and leadership programming for professional women's groups. The project broke ground in July 2024 and is scheduled for completion in 2026.Designed to engage with the site's natural ecology and intellectual heritage, the Center draws inspiration from the surrounding oak savanna and the nearby Geneva Lake. Its architecture reflects a close connection to nature, incorporating expansive windows, natural materials, and a gently curved layout that frames views of the forest and water. The roof design introduces daylight deep into the interior, drawing from the natural phenomenon of "crown shyness," where gaps between treetops allow light to filter through.The campus is composed of three primary structures: The Lodge, The Council, and The Cabin, each designed to support different modes of gathering. The Lodge includes a spacious multipurpose room and outdoor terraces for dining and socializing. The Council provides meeting and conference spaces arranged around a central courtyard, while The Cabin serves as a more intimate accommodation space for visiting collaborators and experts. A network of accessible walking paths weaves through the site, encouraging informal interaction and connection with the landscape.

Situated 90 miles from Chicago, the location connects visitors to a setting long associated with retreat and reflection, as well as scientific discovery, nearby Yerkes Observatory being a key historical anchor in the region.The design also integrates sustainable strategies to reduce environmental impact. These include preserving the site's existing topography and tree canopy, using locally sourced and low-carbon materials such as mass timber and Wisconsin stone, and employing passive cooling and ventilation systems. In fact, the Center is targeting LEED Gold certification. By creating a purpose-built space that combines design, ecology, and thoughtful programming, the Women's Leadership Center aims to contribute to a broader cultural landscape dedicated to innovation, dialogue, and leadership development.As cultural centers around the world continue to evolve, architecture plays an increasingly central role in shaping how communities connect, reflect, and create shared meaning. In other recent cultural news, Zaha Hadid Architects has broken ground on the Center of Mediterranean Culture in Reggio Calabria, a new public landmark designed to engage with the waterfront while honoring the city's layered history. In Berlin, AFF Architekten received the DAM Preis 2025 for their work on the House of Statistics, a reinvention of a former GDR building into a democratic hub for civic and cultural use. Meanwhile in Almaty, Asif Khan is transforming a Soviet-era cinema into Kazakhstan's first independent cultural center, a project that marks a significant shift in how space is imagined for creative communities in the region.About this authorNour FakharanyAuthorCite: Nour Fakharany.

A man went to the hospital several times with gut pain and a fever and it turned out that his relatively common symptoms had an unusual cause.

League of Legends started off as a simple DotA-inspired MOBA game, but it quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Riot Games' debut title exploded in popularity in the years following its 2009 release, to the point that it eventually became one of the most successful games of all time. Thanks in part to its free-to-play business model, League of Legends has been played by more than 150 million gamers worldwide and has generated over $1 billion dollars in revenue on an annual basis. Despite ongoing complaints about its toxic community, aggressive monetization, and lack of approachability towards newcomers, no game has truly been able to dethrone it.

The most important component of a great gaming laptop is undoubtedly its graphics card, which can single-handedly make or break a gaming experience. Budget laptops offer decent gaming performance at 1080p, but you will need to shell out more for an Nvidia RTX 4070 or higher. The RTX 4070 and higher GPUs are capable of running games at 1440p without lowering the graphics settings and are among the best in the business.

Jurassic Park is a horror franchise. Though its best remembered for its sense of awe and groundbreaking visual effects, Steven Spielbergs Oscar-winning 1993 movie is also a scary gorefest, with brutal kills and plenty of dino jump scares. This is an element of that original winning formula that the reboot trilogy lacked: the horror influences that really sell the fuck around and find out tonal shift of Michael Crichtons original novel. The movie version of Jurassic Park adapts those in a masterful way, as it goes from awe and admiration for its resurrected dinosaurs to sheer horror at the carnage that comes with them.First-time writer-director Alex Scharfman is fully aware of Jurassic Parks horror elements: His debut movie Death of a Unicorn is essentially a horror-comedy version of Spielbergs film, taking inspiration from its tone, while grabbing story cues from his sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Youve got your rich criminals looking to exploit nature for profit, being hunted down by nearly fantastical creatures; a secluded location with access to the great outdoors; dangerous creatures looking for their missing child; and a dad and his daughter caught in the middle of it.The balance of tones in Death of a Unicorn is effective, once we actually get to the carnage, though that takes a little while. First, theres the inciting incident, with uptight lawyer Elliot (Paul Rudd) traveling to a massive estate in the Canadian Rockies with his estranged daughter, Ridley (Jenna Ortega), who is still grieving the loss of her mother and would rather be anywhere but with her dad. Elliot is about to become the legal liaison for the head of a big pharma company, Odell Leopold (a delightfully exuberant Richard E. Grant), as his cancer enters final stages. En route to the mansion, battling seasonal allergies and his rebellious daughters eye rolls and complaints, Elliot accidentally crashes into a creature crossing the road an actual unicorn.When he realizes the creature isnt fully dead, Elliot takes a tire iron to the unicorns brain, then hides the body in the car. (Why not just push it down the nearby forest slope?) Unluckily for him, the purple unicorn blood that gets all over Elliot and Ridley also cures her acne and his allergies. Making matters worse, the unicorn still isnt entirely dead, and it makes enough noise that the Leopolds a group of power-hungry, wealth-hoarding parasites discover what Elliot is hiding, and immediately get dollar-sign eyes. Learning about the unicorns healing properties, they realize that harvesting its corpse could bring their pharma interests a massive fortune. Failing that, they could sell its blood and horn to oligarchs with health issues. Theres a teeny, tiny problem, however: The creatures parents are worried about it, and theyre ready to pull a Liam Neeson in Taken to find and rescue their baby.Death of a Unicorn lives and dies by its ensemble, and casting director Avy Kaufman deserves a lot of praise for bringing together this exquisite ensemble, which elevates a B-horror movie script into a hit. Each part is perfectly cast, from disgruntled butler Griff (Anthony Carrigan, continuing with the expressive demeanor and sunny disposition of his Barry character, NoHo Hank) to brash, arrogant charity-gala empress Belinda (Ta Leoni), who has roughly two brain cells. But the standout performance the one likely to go viral when the movie hits VOD and clips start circulating online is clearly Will Poulter as Odell and Belindas kid, the young, entitled Shepard. Poulter effortlessly slides into the role of an unhinged rich boy who thinks hes a self-made entrepreneur with lots of big business insights, though his ideas largely amount to mixing drinks in the middle of a massacre, or snorting unicorn horn dust.Scharfmans eat-the-rich message fails to cover much that isnt already familiar from other recent films, like Bong Joon Hos Mickey 17, and the subplot involving Ridley grieving her mother ends up feeling shallow and distracting. But the magical premise and turn toward horror makes Death of a Unicorn stand out from other A24 projects. This movie essentially turns into Jurassic Park in its second half, as the Leopold estate is besieged by unicorns.Granted, as weve seen time and time again with the Jurassic World trilogy, every director in that franchise who has tried following Spielberg ends up mostly just paying tribute to his imagery, and to specific sequences from those first two movies, rather than pushing the concept further. Scharfman does that too, bringing back staples from the first two Jurassic Park movies: the iconic kitchen raptor attack where creatures hunt their victims by smell, the moonlit hunt in tall grass. The unicorns even have retractable razor-like claws like the raptors.But while Death of a Unicorn isnt the second coming of Spielbergs 1993 modern classic or the bonkers fun of its first sequel, its still an effective gore-fest. The movie shines the brightest when it becomes The Lost World: A Knives Out Comedy. The juxtaposition of the vicious, mean-spirited, yet cheer-worthy unicorn-themed violence with the absurdist comedy of the Leopolds trying to save face and think of their quarterly earnings makes for an exhilarating second half. DP Larry Fong shoots the hell out of the many kill sequences, with clear staging and dynamic action as guts are spilled and heads are stomped, or torn apart by massive teeth.Unfortunately, in spite of involvement from Zoic Studios (Netflixs live-action series The Witcher) on the digital side, Filmefex (The Terror) on the practical side, and even Wt Workshop on the development side, the unicorns simply dont look that good. The VFX at times looks unfinished, and the creatures rarely feel tactile, even when actual practical puppets are being used. There are a few moments when you can tell theres a physical unicorn prop on screen, and those precious few moments make it hard not to wish for a different approach in the rest of the film.Still, Death of a Unicorn delivers on its biggest promise a gnarly, funny creature feature with a fantastic ensemble, and all the unicorn-themed gore you can imagine. It doesnt reach the heights of the first two Jurassic Park movies, or even the one Ta Leoni was in. Scharfmans constant homaging does work in its favor, both in using the true and tested elements of the earliest Jurassic Park movies and also in putting the lack of creativity of the Jurassic World trilogy to shame.Death of a Unicorn hits U.S. theaters on March 28.

When Kaiserpunk was announced a couple of years ago, I couldnt contain my excitement. Having played numerous strategy games in the past, the notion of combining concepts from city-building management sims, 4X strategy, and grand warfare, all wrapped up in an alternate post-World War I timeline, seemed too good to be true.Regrettably, it surely is. Having played Kaiserpunk for roughly 15 hours, this offering from Overseer Games initially shows promise, though its bogged down by several glaring flaws with its UI, core mechanics, and general progression.Kaiserpunk is set in an alternate post-World War I time period where survivors have risen from the devastation to form their own city-states across the world. While there are several options of different regions to choose from, theres an almost Eurocentric focus. Just imagine my surprise when I thought I could play as my home country, the Philippines, only to realize that the four options in South Asia and Southeast Asia were for locations in India and Indonesia only. Europe, meanwhile, has close to two dozen map options.Regardless of your decision, theres still very little to differentiate your chosen region/nation outside of the heritage that you choose at the start of the campaign. Think of it as akin to passive bonuses with one drawback, such as having improvements to scientific developments and agricultural output at the cost of lower military production speed.As for the city-building aspect, this is where Kaiserpunk initially shines. The mechanics should feel familiar to anyone whos played logistics/management sims like the Anno or Tropico series. You start with just a town center, and you have to construct various residences, production facilities, mines, farms, and amenities, all to satisfy the needs of citizens. All roads must lead to the town center, too, and you have to create side streets and pathways to improve logistical throughput. Its a good idea to have clusters of facilities that are part of the same production chain, such as farms, bakeries, and flour mills, plopped down next to each other to speed up the manufacturing process.All in all, this core concept where you start from scratch, plan the layout of your city, and gain new citizens from laborers to specialists, while watching your burgeoning settlement turn into a sprawling metropolis, is so thoroughly engaging that I found myself playing for hours just to see my capitals continued development.Perhaps my only gripes here are related to the logistical radius and the games UI/UX. Regional maps are huge, and numerous resource nodes dot the countryside. Evidently, you have to place mines and other buildings to gather those resources. But these, too, require additional depots and infrastructure (i.e., power stations or water towers), not to mention extra laborers. A larger effective radius for utility and logistics buildings would alleviate intensive micromanagement. As for the UI/UX, this facet surely needs a few tweaks upgrade icons are so tiny that I have to squint just to read descriptions, and notification tooltips regarding issues arent particularly clear either.Where Kaiserpunk woefully falters is in its transition from city builder/management sim to grand strategy warfare. Firstly, its because trying to get your armies up and running not to mention your navy and air force is a painstaking and arduous task. You need to have enough unemployed citizens, as well as extra resources to manufacture military rations and equipment, just to train a single unit. When you do encounter problems, the games tooltips arent quite clear about what caused them in the first place. At one point, I knew I had a surplus of wheat and bread, so I built a factory that made rations. I couldnt tell for certain if it used up all the bread I had, but whatever I did caused my citizens to grow hungry due to a lack of food.Secondly, warmongering and diplomatic options are about as bare-bones as they could get. For the most part, you attack adjacent regions with your armies in fairly simplistic combat encounters. You also need to ensure that you advance with multiple units in your battalion; not engaging with overwhelming force almost certainly leads to defeat, which means waiting until your units are finished with cooldown and in tip-top condition again. The poor execution is more akin to a board game like Risk, as opposed to a title with strategic depth like Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis.Thirdly, the overall development of your region takes so long that youre unlikely to build ships and planes until youre several hours into your campaign. So, if you somehow need to cross the sea before then, you need the proper facilities and related scientific improvements. Its a mind-boggling design decision given the setting. Its as though World War I was a swords to ploughshares reset for the entire human race, and everyone suddenly forgot how to make armaments and military transports.But perhaps the most glaring flaw of Kaiserpunk is that you dont necessarily feel that youre working toward a goal or objective. 4X strategy series like Civilization and Age of Wonders have unique victory conditions, whereas grand strategy titles from Paradox Interactive have events and requirements that lead to enforcing debilitating demands upon your foes, restoring your nations prestige, or unifying a fractured empire. In Kaiserpunks sandbox campaign, I mostly just recruited units, sent them over to nearby territories, hoped that theyd win battles, and moved on to the next region. Its conquest for the sake of conquest, minus the engrossing one more turn (or one more hour) aspect.Id be remiss if I didnt mention how the endgame section of your Kaiserpunk campaigns will go. This is a single-player game and, other than minor factions that hold single regions, you can choose to battle up to seven AI-controlled leaders. However, since the sandbox takes place on the world map emphasis on world, since you cant change the map size, make custom maps, or interact with minor factions you end up having to scour the whole planet just to finish off your opponents. This makes future playthroughs egregiously tedious and repetitive to a fault.Ultimately, the Kaiserpunk team tried its hand at presenting a mishmash of genres, but the resultant game is a jack of all trades without excelling in any individual facet. That said, if youre looking for a game that combines warfare and strategy with other aspects, like role-playing or management, then you might be better off playing titles like Crusader Kings 3, Mount & Blade, or Manor Lords. A take on the modern era, sadly, will just have to wait.Kaiserpunk was released March 21 on Windows PC. The game was reviewed on PC using a copy provided by Overseer Games.
