In fact, there are literally only three movies exiting Hulu on March 31. Of that trio, we can only recommend Night Raiders and Snakehead.Thats why weve had to dip into the movies leaving Hulu in April to fill out the rest of the five movies you need to watch before the end of March. Well be borrowing from Mays departures as well, because only nine movies are slated to exit Hulu in the entire month of April. And most of those flicks probably wont even be remembered after theyre gone.Recommended VideosNeed more recommendations?

Niska may get a second chance with her daughter, but its going to take some serious sacrifices to bring them face-to-face once again.Watch Night Raiders on Hulu.Samuel Goldwyn FilmsTheres a lot of bang for the buck in Snakehead, a crime action thriller starring Shuya Chang. This is an immigrant story, but not in the way you might expect. Sister Tse (Shuya Chang) didnt have herself smuggled into America to start a new life; she came to find her daughter, Rosie (Catherine Jiang), who was adopted by an American family while Tse was in prison.Tses fighting skills make hertoo valuable to waste on prostitution, and she becomes a top enforcer for Dai Mah (Jade Wu), the woman who controls whether Tse will ever have her freedom again.

Ive been thinking of upgrading our 2017 LG 4K C7 OLED TVfor a while now. Not that theres anything wrong with it. It still performs as well as the day I bought it. But Im ready for something bigger and brighter.As someone who is absolutely sold on the benefits of OLED, Ive been primarily looking at models from LG, Sony, and Samsung. These brands dominate the list of the best OLED TVs. In theory, it wouldnt matter which one I chose there are no losers in this category.Recommended VideosStill, I tend to get a little FOMO when it comes to big new tech purchases. I dont make them often, so I want to make sure Im buying the best that I can get. And in looking at all of the specs that I care about, Samsungs ongoing lack of Dolby Vision supporthas been a sticking point for me.RelatedShould it be? After all, theres a far bigger difference between standard dynamic range and HDR10 than there is between HDR10 and Dolby Vision. In fact, Caleb Denison, Digital Trends resident TV expert, has argued that Dolby Visions improvement over HDR10 isnt always readily apparent. To really appreciate dynamic HDR formats like Dolby Vision (and Samsungs preferred open-source alternative, HDR10+), you need to watch material with especially bright or especially dark scenes, Denison says, where subtle variations in bright highlights and/or shadow detail can make or break a scene.The thing is, my current LG OLED TV does have Dolby Vision, and I think I can see and appreciate the improvements when watching Dolby Vision content. Since most of the dynamic HDR content on streaming services has historically been limited to Dolby Vision, the idea of buying a TV that Im likely to own for the next 8-10 years without this feature just feels wrong.Or at least, it did.With one deceivingly simple announcement, Netflix has changed my mind. Its decision to roll out support for HDR10+ as its second supported dynamic HDR format wont matter to anyone who already has a Dolby Vision TV, but for Samsung owners (or potential Samsung buyers like me), its huge. Netflix is so big and influential in the streaming world, its adoption of HDR10+ could finally level the dynamic HDR playing field, at least as far as access to content goes. Of the major streaming platforms, it was the only one that remained an HDR10+ holdout. Now that Rubicon has been crossed, my FOMO has been significantly reduced.The truth is, I may still buy my next OLED TV from LG or Sony or perhaps even Panasonic. But if I do, it wont be out of fear that only these companies can offer me the best HDR viewing experience.Editors Recommendations

A private affair Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases Google says this change will simplify things for developers and OEMs. Ryan Whitwam Mar 26, 2025 3:20 pm | 45 Credit: Ryan Whitwam Credit: Ryan Whitwam Story textSizeSmallStandardLargeWidth *StandardWideLinksStandardOrange* Subscribers only Learn moreGoogle is planning a major change to the way it develops new versions of the Android operating system. Since the beginning, large swaths of the software have been developed in public-facing channels, but that will no longer be the case. This does not mean Android is shedding its open source roots, but the process won't be as transparent.Google has confirmed to Android Authority that all Android development work going forward will take place in Google's internal branch. This is a shift from the way Google has worked on Android in the past, which featured frequent updates to the public AOSP branch. Anyone can access AOSP, but the internal branches are only available to Google and companies with a Google Mobile Services (GMS) license, like Samsung, Motorola, and others.According to the company, it is making this change to simplify things, building on a recent change to trunk-based development. As Google works on both public and private branches of Android, the two fall out of sync with respect to features and API support. This forces Google to tediously merge the branches for every release. By focusing on the internal branch, Google claims it can streamline releases and make life easier for everyone.When new versions of Android are done, Google says it will continue to publish the source code in AOSP as always. Supposedly, this will allow developers to focus on supporting their apps without keeping track of pending changes to the platform in AOSP. Licensed OEMs, meanwhile, can just focus on the lively internal branch as they work on devices that can take a year or more to launch.This change to private development doesn't come out of the blueAndroid feels less open today than it did in the early days. For example, Google has been moving Android features from AOSP into closed source packages for years. This gives Google greater control over the platform while also making it easier to update core components without a full OS update.Currently, most Android development takes place in the internal branch, but a handful of components, like Bluetooth and the kernel, are developed in the open. They'll be moving to internal under the new system.This change will undoubtedly make development easier for Google's team, but it could limit how much we know about Android before new versions are official. Sometimes, the tidbits that appear in AOSP can point to upcoming devices, feature removals, or changes to app support. We may not get those insights anymore, and consequently, there won't be as many opportunities for devs and users to challenge Google before it rolls out an unpopular change.Even if there are some negative consequences, the average Android phone user probably won't know anything about the structural change. Google will reportedly have more details on the shift to private development later this week, and the change could go into effect as soon as next week.Ryan WhitwamSenior Technology ReporterRyan WhitwamSenior Technology Reporter Ryan Whitwam is a senior technology reporter at Ars Technica, covering the ways Google, AI, and mobile technology continue to change the world.

Jon KrauseObesity rates have been increasing in the US for decades, but in 2023 they fell at least in part because of the burgeoning popularity of the miracle drug semaglutide. Approved for treating obesity only in 2021, it is in short supply and is very expensive, but it has already had an extraordinary impact (How semaglutide and similar drugs work, below).Yet this could just be start. With many companies racing to market rival versions of semaglutide in cheaper and easier-to-take forms, as well as mounting evidence that that GLP-1 drugs can target a host of health conditions, the treatments could have an impact that goes way beyond reversing the worldwide trend of rising obesity and possibly even putting a dent in alcohol sales. So what lies ahead for these drugs and what are the stumbling blocks?This article is part of a special series investigating the GLP-1 agonist boom. Read more here.A growing number of studies show that semaglutide seems to have many beneficial effects in addition to weight loss. For instance, in a four-year trial involving nearly 18,000 people, 6.5 per cent of those on semaglutide had a heart attack or stroke compared with 8 per cent of those receiving a placebo.The treatment may even reduce many kinds of craving, not just those for food (see What do GLP-1 drugs really tell us about the brains reward system?). There are anecdotal reports of people reducing their alcohol intake substantially on semaglutide, says Helen Colhoun at the University of Edinburgh, UK. I think that this is one of the exciting potential

23andMe cofounder Linda Avey discussed the company in a social media post on Wednesday.

Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? 23andMe cofounder Linda Avey discussed the company in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday.Avey said the biotech company "lost its way" without product development and "proper governance."23andMe filed for bankruptcy, and CEO Anne Wojcicki resigned this week.23andMe cofounder Linda Avey is mourning what the biotech company could have become.Avey reflected on 23andMe and criticized former CEO Anne Wojcicki in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday, saying that "it was time to express my views on the company, after witnessing the downfall of an idea and brand that could have become the world's leading digital health platform."On Sunday, 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced Wojcicki's resignation. Avey worked alongside Wojcicki and Paul Cusenza to launch the biotech company in Silicon Valley nearly twenty years ago. The company makes direct-to-consumer DNA test kits and explores genetic research. Avey served as co-president from 2006 to 2009 and remained a company board member until 2011.In the post, Avey said the idea for 23andMe sparked after working in life science research for years."A lightbulb went on if I was interested in accessing my own data, wouldn't others feel the same way? Getting deeply personalized information about what makes us 'us' seemed undeniable. It didn't take long for the concept to unfold," she said.Avey said she pursued this goal under 23andMe until 2009, when her time at the company was "cut short.""My time at the company was cut short in 2009, when my co-founder Anne convinced the board that she should run the company. And I must be honest, I was frustrated with the direction the company took after that point," Avey said. "After my departure, she architected a majority vote for herself that eliminated board governance, even as the board expanded over the following funding rounds. For better or worse, the buck stopped with her. It came as no surprise when the board resigned last year."Avey said that 23andMe "was in a unique position" initially, and it's "painful to think what could have been.""The company has amassed one of the largest genetic data collections in the world, and to Anne's credit, created a terrific consumer brand. We can only imagine the importance of the dataset that could have been built, combining blood work, deeper gene sequencing, wearable data, and providing actionable insights," Avey said. "Now, the market is fragmented with data siloed in many different companies."Avey said 23andMe "lost its way" without "consumer-focused product development" and "proper governance.""The 14+ million people who bought into the concept deserve to see their data moved to a secure platform with new leadership and vision," Avey said.Avey rounded out her statement by emphasizing the importance of a balanced C-Suite."There are many cautionary tales buried in the 23andMe story. Striking a balance between the desire for founder control and board oversight is essential; otherwise, why have a board at all?' Avey said. "It's a familiar trope in Silicon Valley that wealth translates into unquestionable business savvy. But no matter how great an idea, the importance of the dynamics of the founding team and their ability to listen to feedback is key."Avey, Wojcicki, and representatives for 23andMe did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.23andMe struggled before filing for bankruptcy23andMe has weathered several storms since 2023.Although privacy concerns have bogged down the company for years, criticism spiked that October over news that some user data had been compromised. Hackers claiming access to the data, including birth details and names, were selling it on the dark web. 23andMe told BI the ancestry data for almost 7 million users were accessed. Following a class action lawsuit, the company agreed to a $30 million settlement last September.That same month, the independent directors of 23andMe's board resigned in a letter addressed to Wojcicki, saying it's "clear that we differ on the strategic direction for the Company going forward."23andMe announced three new independent board members in October 2024 and added another member this month.Wojcicki landed in the hot seat in 2024 when an SEC filing said she "would be open to considering third-party takeover proposals." After consumers expressed concerns over what could happen to their personal data, Wojcicki reversed course.The cracks at 23andMe deepened last November when the company announced it was restructuring its business, laying off roughly 40% of its staff, and ending further development of its therapeutics program.Most recently, 23andMe said it will continue to operate while seeking a buyer."After a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, we have determined that a court-supervised sale process is the best path forward to maximize the value of the business," chair Mark Jensen said in a press release. "We expect the court-supervised process will advance our efforts to address the operational and financial challenges we face, including further cost reductions and the resolution of legal and leasehold liabilities."

The US has long soughtPresident Donald Trump doubled down on his long-standing ambitions to acquire Greenland in January, saying he won't rule out military force or economic coercion to secure the territory of a NATO ally. While Denmark has repeatedly refused to sell ownership of the self-governingGreenland's formidable ice was also the biggest problem for a legendary Cold War-era top secret project a tunnel city under the ice designed to store hundreds of nuclear missiles within firing distance of the Soviet Union.Camp Century was presented to the public as an Arctic research facility after it was built in 1960, but the covert missile operation wasn't declassified by the US government until 1995.NASA scientists detected the abandoned "city under the ice" 100 feet below the surface last year, sparking concerns about its potential environmental hazards as the climate crisis warms the Arctic more than any other region on Earth.Tunneling through snow and iceA snow removal machine was used to plow the main trench of Camp Century. US Army/Pictorial Parade/Archive Photos/Getty Images Construction began in 1959 on the $8 million remote facility, located about 150 miles away from Thule Air Base, a key Arctic defense outpost and the US' northernmost active military base; it is now named Pituffik Space Base.Named Camp Century because it was initially intended to be located 100 miles from the Greenland ice cap, the site was plagued by harsh winter conditions, including winds as high as 125 miles per hour and temperatures as low as -70 degrees Fahrenheit.Members of the US Army Corps of Engineers transported 6,000 tons of supplies and materials to the site to dig nearly two dozen underground tunnels covered by steel arches and a layer of snow, completing the subterranean base in late 1960.'A city under the ice'Trench construction at Camp Century in 1960. US Army Corps of Engineers Camp Century's largest trench, known as "Main Street," was about 26 feet wide and stretched over 1,000 feet. The sprawling underground complex housed as many as 200 personnel underground.Engineers drilled a well in the camp to access 10,000 gallons of fresh water daily, and insulated, heated piping ran throughout the facility for water and electricity.The base also featured a kitchen and cafeteria, medical clinic, laundry area, communications center, and dormitories. The facility also featured a recreation hall, chapel, and barbershop.'Almost science fiction'US Army engineers transport parts of a portable nuclear power plant. Bettmann Archive/Getty Images Camp Century was powered by a 400-ton portable nuclear reactor, the first of its kind. Due to the subfreezing temperatures making the metal very brittle, transporting the PM-2 reactor had to be handled with extreme care during installation.Soldiers maintained the medium-power reactor daily by cutting back snow and ice with chainsaws to protect it from damage. The PM-2 reactor operated for nearly three years before it was deactivated and removed from the facility."Think of all the energy and resources it took to do this, to build those tunnels and put soldiers down there. It's almost science fiction," Paul Bierman, a geoscientist who studied soil samples from the site, told National Geographic. "No one would dream of doing that today."Public location, covert purposeUS Army researchers installed supports to reinforce the trenches in Camp Century. US Army/Pictorial Parade/Archive Photos/Getty Images The US publicly presented Camp Century as a scientific research facility, where researchers and engineers were tasked with analyzing ice cap conditions, glacial movement, and cold-weather survival.However, the scientific objective of the facility was a cover for a top-secret US operation, known as "Project Iceworm," to store and deploy hundreds of nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.The initiative remained covert to circumvent Denmark's strict nuclear-free policy following WWII while taking advantage of Greenland's proximity to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.Project IcewormPeople climbed a ladder to the escape hatch leading into Camp Century. US Army/Pictorial Parade/Archive Photos/Getty Images Project Iceworm sought to expand the existing facility by an additional 52,000 square miles three times the size of Denmark to house 60 launch control centers. The facility would have stored up to 600 "Iceman" missiles, modified two-stage intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of 3,300 miles.Aside from its strategic location less than 3,000 miles away from Moscow, Project Iceworm was also seen as a potential way to secure alliances and share nuclear weapons with other NATO countries, particularly France, which wanted to be part of the nuclear partnership between the US and the UK.However, the military operation faced significant challenges, including overcoming bureaucratic hurdles, modifying the Iceman missile to endure extremely cold conditions, and even just continuing underground operations as the Greenland ice sheet became increasingly unstable.The Army decided not to risk the loss of hundreds of missiles if the facility collapsed, eventually canceling Project Iceworm just three years after Camp Century was built.The facility continued to operate at a limited capacity before it was abandoned in 1967.Some scientific successResearchers use a thermal drill to cut through the ice cap. US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory While missiles were never transported to Camp Century, researchers found some success in their studies of ice cores collected at the site and deep soil analysis.The research ultimately contributed to the development of climate models, according to Bierman, who is a professor at the University of Vermont. Ancient soil samples collected at Camp Century were composed of leaves, mosses, twigs, and insects that offered Bierman and his team into how the climate crisis could impact the Arctic over the next century."It takes you from 1966 to global climate change and onward to the effects of Greenland's melting," Bierman said. "That's pretty profound.""There are things we can learn about ice sheets that we can never learn from the ice itself," he added. "It comes from the stuff below the ice."A ticking radioactive time bombAn aerial view of the power plant that powered Camp Century. US Army/Wikimedia After the camp was decommissioned in 1967, the US military failed to remove the facility's waste and infrastructure, assuming that it would eventually be entombed in Greenland's ice sheet over the subsequent decades.Though Camp Century now resides under nearly 100 feet of snow and ice, researchers took inventory of what was left behind and found nearly 136 acres of waste about the size of 100 football fields. A 2016 study found that more than 50,000 gallons of diesel fuel, 63,000 gallons of sewage and radioactive coolant, thousands of gallons of wastewater, and an unknown amount of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remained buried at the abandoned facility.At the current melting rate of the Arctic, researchers estimate that the waste could resurface around 2100, releasing pollutants that pose a major threat to surrounding ecosystems and human health."Two generations ago, people were interring waste in different areas of the world, and now climate change is modifying those sites," William Colgan, a climate and glacier scientist at York University and lead author of the study, said in a 2016 statement."Once the site transitions from net snowfall to net melt, it's only a matter of time before the wastes melt out; it becomes irreversible," he continued.Who's on cleanup duty?A container of lubricant oil for a US military vehicle was left to rust at an abandoned military base in Greenland. John McConnico/AP As the threat of biological, chemical, and radioactive waste looms, the question remains as to who is responsible for cleaning up the waste, from Camp Century and other abandoned US military facilities scattered throughout Greenland.In 2018, Greenland and Denmark signed an agreement allocating 180 million Danish kroner about $29 million over six years to clean up some of the US military bases. In 2021, the cleanup efforts were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The US hasn't formally taken responsibility to clean up its abandoned facilities. If Trump were to carry through on acquiring Greenland, the world's largest island that is believed to be suffuse with valuable rare earth minerals, the US would contend directly with this looming environmental disaster.Colgan told Politico there haven't been any attempts to clean up Camp Century so far amid fears of disturbing the radioactive site too much."There is actually a conscious effort not to drill into the debris field," he said. "We don't actually know the full nature of what's down there."

By Germain Lussier Published March 26, 2025 | Comments (0) | There are so many chairs, we had to cut out Robert Downey Jr. @ Marvel Studios It took almost five and a half hours, but on Wednesday, Marvel Studios announced the cast of next years big summer release, Avengers: Doomsday. They were revealed in a simple but stretched-out PR stunt in which 27 directors chairs, each bearing an actors name, were revealed about every 15 minutes or so on a livestream. It then ended with the one cast member we did know about, Robert Downey Jr., appearing. That long break between each reveal gave plenty of time for the internet to have fun with the stunt which, we assume, is exactly what Disney and Marvel wanted. Fans joked about who could appear in the movie, who would appear in the movie, who they want to see in the movie, and so much more. Brands got involved, the cuts got deeper, and while the whole thing took the better part of a day, it was all pretty fun. Below is just a small sampling of some of our favorite memes from the Avengers: Doomsday cast announcement, which you can watch right here and read more about here. It's 2032.

The war chat leak episodein which details of a recent bombing mission were sent from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to head editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberghas got to be one of the funniest White House fuckups of all time. Instead of admitting that they fucked up, however, Hegseth and his government allies have conjured up a series of increasingly ludicrous arguments in an attempt to justify what happened. At the same time, Hegseth has sought to attack and demonize Goldberg and The Atlantic for simply reporting on the information that Hegseth, himself, sent to the journalist. On Wednesday, Hegseth took to X to claim that The Atlantics second story showed that he hadnt released any war plans, with the implication being that Goldberg was some sort of fabulist. Hegseth railed: So, lets me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called war plans and those plans include: No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods. And no classified information. Those are some really shitty war plans, he said. This only proves one thing: Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or an attack plan (as he now calls it). Not even close. Hegseths sophisticated linguistic analysis of the difference between war and attack (because apparently a military attack with bombs isnt an act of warfare) runs parallel to another dopey claim being made by his supporters. That claim suggests that Hegseth, as chief of the DoD, is ultimately responsible for what is classified and what isnt and that the information that was shared with a prominent journalist did not rise to the level of government secrets. Hegseth has also dodged questions about whether the Signal chat took place on personal (as opposed to government-issued) phoneswhich is something that security pros have worried about, since personal phones are much more hackable than government ones. Nobodys texting war plans, Hegseth recently told a journalist who asked about the phones. I know exactly what Im doing, he said, adding: Im really proud of what we accomplished. Meanwhile, rightwing influencers like Ian Miles Cheong have made up excuses for why the real blame for the incident should be placed on the media, not Hegseth. Signal was called the gold standard for encrypted comms. Not just by security experts but by The Atlantic itself. Clinton and the Obama administration used it, Cheong recently wrote on X. Suddenly its a problem that Trumps people are using it? Im not buying it. Yes, while it is true that Signal is considered a really good civilian privacy app, it is for civilians, not leaders of the most powerful military in the world who are regularly targeted by foreign agents. Its group chats feature is the most susceptible element to hacking because it is the most easily overcome by social engineering, stupidity, or whatever Michael Waltz claims was happening when he added the editor of a magazine to the war chat. Hegseths full throated defense seems inconsistent at best and downright divorced from reality at worst. For one thing, it seems clear that some of the information in the chat wasor should have beenclassified. Members of Congress seem to think this is the case, and a current Pentagon official interviewed by CNN has alleged the same. These are operational plans that are highly classified in order to protect the service members, the anonymous source, described as a U.S. defense official, said. It is safe to say that anybody in uniform would be court martialed for this, they added. How egregious was the group chats operational security failure? That same unnamed official said even his junior analysts know not to do this.Even a former Trump official has claimed that the information is classified. Mick Mulroy, described as the Pentagons top official for Middle East policy during the first Trump administration, told the Military Times: This information was clearly taken from the real time order of battle sequence of an ongoing operation. It is highly classified and protected. Indeed, in a situation that is already thoroughly dumb, Hegseths insistence that hes done nothing wrong only makes him look worse. Truly, if this is a normal chain of events, why doesnt Hegseth make Goldberg a permanent fixture in all pre-bombing IC chats? It can be a running column for The Atlantic: Heres When and Where America Will Bomb Next! where Americans can tune in to read about imminent aerial campaigns in the hours before the bombs drop. Maybe the government can partner with Wikileaks and release the text messages in real-time so that Americans (and, you know, the rest of the world) are on the same page whenever a U.S. military operation is underway.Other participants in the chat fiasco were put on blast Wednesdays during a House Intelligence Committee hearing. Most notably, the new Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, continued to answer questions about the incident and, in so doing, did not come off as particularly well suited to her role. During a particular back and forth with Congressman Jim Himes (D-Connecticut), Gabbard, revealed that (unless shes, you know, a liar) she has a shockingly bad memory for a person who is now tasked with overseeing the entire U.S. intelligence community. Himes questioned Gabbard about why, during a separate Congressional hearing that took place Tuesday, she testified that she didnt think the conversation had included specific information about U.S. weapons packages, targets, or timing. She replied: My answer yesterday was based on my recollection, or the lack thereof. Himes: So its your testimony that less than two weeks ago, you were on a signal chat that had all of this information about F-18s and MQ-9 Reapers and targets on strike, and you, in that two-week period, simply forgot that that was there? Thats your testimony?Gabbard: My testimony is that I did not recall the exact details of what was included there. Himes: That was not your testimony. Your testimony was that you were not aware of anything related to weapons packages, targets, and timing. Gabbard then responded that she didnt remember the exact wording that she had used in the hearing from the previous day. In other words: Gabbard seems to have trouble remembering stuff that happened a matter of days (or even hours) in the past. Meanwhile, the government is now putting together a team to understand how Goldberg was added to the group chat, despite the fact that the screenshots of the messages released by The Atlantic (which have been verified as authentic by the National Security Council) appear to clearly show that the editor was added to the chat by national security advisor Michael Waltz. Instead of acknowledging this, the White House has now tasked Waltz, himself, with probing what happened.

The 3-month pop-up cafe is located in a gutted, soon-to-be-demolished building. Using deconstruction as a method, basic building materials are applied to meld with the original rough-looking environment of impending demolition. Not only is the result time- and cost-efficient, but the sustainable materials and repurposed space also offer an example of urban regeneration. The deconstruction is the beginning. The reflections on the surfaces from various angles create a crystallization effect, which resembles the reactions that occur during urban transformation and reveals its transitional nature.Save this picture!Save this picture!The client, Coffee Law, aimed to connect the act of having coffee with the urban regeneration exhibition. They worked with the Lienyu Group to exploit the idle building before demolition, all while contributing to the local community. The outcome is supposed to demonstrate the transitional phase of the urban regeneration project, so crystallization was chosen as a visual prototype. The angles created by the small steel units, the cold, agile look of the light fixtures, and the reflections of various materials, all draw associations with the cold and short-lived image of the snowflake.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The choice of recyclable steel units is inspired by the deconstruction of the space. It amplifies the exposed structure, demonstrates versatility, and aims to realize a sustainable circular economy. The patched cement walls and exposed steel and bricks belie the construction of the site. The intervening project aims to fit into the landscape and gives rise to a flow with the building and the exhibition. Materials like the steel counter, cement walls, and light tubes were chosen to present a cold, rough texture. Hazard tape divides the space, reminds patrons of the temporary nature of the project, and provides inspiration for one of the brand's signature products. Sharp angles, reflective surfaces, and an ice-like brushed steel countertop suggest crystallization, representing the city's vitality during the transitional phase like the calm and self-restrained tension felt at the end of an era. The tone also resonates with the cafe brand's "fast and fashionable" marketing character.Save this picture!Save this picture!This coffee brand has been providing diverse coffee-drinking experiences throughout the city. As this location is embedded within an urban regeneration exhibition, instead of pursuing coziness, as their other locations do, it focuses on convenience and mobility. The raised counter facing the entrance under the light fixtures and the high ceiling suggest that customers approach and drink their coffee while standing. The seating area with lightweight folding chairs resembles an outdoor campsite to facilitate events held in this space. Smaller tables and hard chairs remind coffee drinkers to walk around and feel the vanishing memories. Customers are encouraged to take in the exhibition instead of halting for coffee, which is why the seating is designed mainly for a quick stop.Save this picture!Save this picture!The aesthetic concept aims to create a light, chill, yet fading ambiance, while the renovation model is based on circular economics. The project began from the ideas of change and the future, making us ponder: if the building lifespan is limited, what will become of the site when the project ends? To facilitate rapid dismantling, fully recyclable steel was chosen as the main material. Instead of being discarded, it can be recycled and repurposed. The 12X12 cm units are easy to assemble and take apart. The multiple layers symbolize the construction of the building. Although the project is short-term, it is a model of sustainable fashion through the cycle of assembly, disassembly, and on-site material sourcing. In keeping with the efficient use of resources and being easy to take apart afterward, the project is constructed through assembling units, allowing the builder to control the process efficiently and align with the client's expectation of the short 136-day project duration. The materials can later be repurposed for further sustainable urban development projects.Save this picture!Save this picture!Everything changes, including cities. The key point is our perspective on those changes. This project replaces desertion with proactivity, and transforms an idle building into a cafe and an exhibition venue, injecting vitality into the site with mottled cement and cracked bricks. May the space serve the local community, and spread the message of urban regeneration.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Taiwan, TaipeiLocation to be used only as a reference.
