Text description provided by the architects. A renovation (2025) of an existing apartment in an apartment complex built in the 1960s in Vienna. The increasing demand for housing at the time led to the continuous construction of housing estates, especially in the outer districts. A characteristic of such buildings is the cheap and quick type of construction.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The design deals with the way in which such (often) considered "unattractive" typologies, can be renovated. Instead of inventing something new, the project looks for exsisting principles that can be continued.Save this picture!What potential arises from the pragmatism of such row-typologies? The principle of a central sanitary infrastructure is continued and concieved as a new plywood -clad box. A „spatial cross" is formed by the intersection of the exsisting load-bearing central wall and the new box operating like a thick wall. This creates four rooms of approximately the same size, which offer the possibility for changing activities. Large sliding doors can be used to create different scenarios. The inner walls do not touch the perimeter wall - this results in a circular walkway - allowing for the possibility of "living in a circle".Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The behaviour of the new elements repond to the exsisting condition. The existing free-standing chimney-wall was converted into a wardrobe. The diagonally mirrored surface above it conceals the waste water pipe of the apartment above. The kitchen unit squeezes through a gap and becomes a table. The central sanitary room has a clerestory window that also makes the clash with the existing lintel visible. The materials reflect the scarce attitude of the existing building. How much do we need to live well?Save this picture!

Although volcanic eruptions can strike when least expected, they sometimes give off warning signs that can be captured by advanced technology. One innovative way to monitor eruptions is now being put to the test at the Reykjanes Peninsula, a hotbed of volcanic activity in Iceland. In a new study, researchers have reported the successful progress of an eruption warning system that uses distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), which can anticipate volcanic activity through magma movements beneath the surface.The study, published in Science, demonstrates how DAS sensors at the Reykjanes Peninsula can give the public warnings on lava eruptions up to 30 minutes in advance. The key to this method is in fiber-optic cables that react to disturbances underground. With a system to monitor cables, scientists are tapping into unseen volcanic data like never before.Iceland's Volcanic EruptionsIceland lies in a unique position as part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a 10,000-mile-long mountain chain that represents the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. While most of it is submerged deep underwater, portions of the ridge rise from the ocean and form islands (like Iceland itself). This setting gives the country a diversity of geologic features, from massive faults to hot springs and geysers. Being on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge also exposes parts of Iceland to volcanic eruptions. The Reykjanes Peninsula has seen a significant increase in eruptions since 2021 and has experienced eight eruptions of lava since November 2023. Although the risk of injury or death from volcanic activity is relatively low, recurring eruptions near the town of Grindavík have forced people to evacuate their homes year after year.Sensing Underground Vibrations For the past few years, an international team of researchers has been working toward a solution to catch volcanic activity before it can impact the public. This collaboration led to the development of a DAS system focused on an underground fiber-optic cable. "The deployment was extremely fast," said Jiaxuan Li, the study's first author and a geophysicist at the University of Houston, in a statement. "We were able to set up our system on a 100-kilometer-long fiber cable within 10 days after a substantial magma intrusion event on November 10, 2023. About a month later, we recorded the first eruption with our system.”The DAS system entails directing lasers into unused underground cables; when vibrations pass through the cables (during an earthquake, for example), the lasers go through what is called a “phase-change,” allowing researchers to collect data on seismic waves.A New Warning SystemThe system can be applied to underground volcanic activity as well. As magma moves upward to surge above the surface, it warps and compresses the ground. The researchers say cable sensors can measure changes in the ground much more precisely than GPS or satellite imaging.Data from the sensors set up in the Reykjanes Peninsula have allowed researchers to create an early-warning system that could inform the public of an eruption 30 minutes to several hours before it occurs.The system has already helped seismologists at Grindavik detect volcanic activity and understand how magma behaves underground. Since Iceland is expected to enter a period marked by more frequent eruptions, increasingly reliable volcano warnings are needed now more than ever. “There is a lot more work to do, and all volcanoes are different, but DAS provides us a new capability to see things we couldn't before,” said Zhongwen Zhan, a geophysicist at the California Institute of Technology whose laboratory conducted the research. “Our project is also a great example of the power of international collaboration."Article SourcesOur writers at Discovermagazine.com use peer-reviewed studies and high-quality sources for our articles, and our editors review for scientific accuracy and editorial standards.

Debate rages as to why the artist chose to include all the anatomical details.

The embroidery piece depicts events leading up to the Norman conquest of England and spans nearly 230 feet. It is believed to have been completed soon after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 CE. But even as a renowned and intricately detailed artifact, it’s not without its controversy. Namely: How many penises are on it? In 2018, University of Oxford professor George Garnett said that the number stands at 93 male genitalia—88 on horses and five on men. But tapestry expert Christopher Monk believes one more penis deserves some extra scrutiny. In this case, a running soldier near the tapestry’s lower border who features a noticeable accessory hanging from beneath his tunic. The mystery appendage, highlighted in red. Credit: BBC / Creative Commons “I am in no doubt that the appendage is a depiction of male genitalia–the missed penis, shall we say?” Monk said on a recent episode of the podcast HistoryExtra. Garnett, however, remained doubtful about Monk’s evidence. The Oxford scholar instead contended the mystery shape is actually a scabbard, and pointed to a gold orb that he believes is the pommel’s brass cap. “If you look at what are incontrovertibly penises in the tapestry, none of them have a yellow blob on the end,” argued Garnett. Either way, one needs to examine the original embroidery still housed in Bayeux, France, to properly analyze the total penis count. Although an 18th century replica exists at the UK’s Reading Museum, the era’s social standards necessitated a censored version of the tapestry that omits most of the genitalia. But why include all those penises in the first place? Like their total count, the official explanation remains elusive. Medieval art is laden with symbolism (including everything from colors, to flowers, to animals), and the Bayeux Tapestry is no exception. According to some historians, the appendages may have been meant to convey “manliness” and virility. Case in point: the artwork’s largest equine penis belongs to the horse gifted to Duke William preceding the Battle of Hastings, thus symbolizing his right to the throne. Meanwhile, others contend the anatomical inclusions allude to Aesop’s Fables and other classical and satirical tales of the era. “There are lots of interesting theories—we don’t know really, to be honest,” historian David Musgrove said on the podcast. “But it’s very interesting that they’re there.”
