Ever since he showed up inCaptain America: The Winter Soldier and popped out those wings of his, folks have been wanting Anthony Mackies Sam Wilson to get a spotlight to himself. Since Brave New World marks his first solo movie, everyone involved wants to do right by him in multiple ways, particularly on the action front. During Disneys recent APAC Contest Showcase in Singapore (thanks, Deadline), Mackie touched on how Sam stands out from Steve Rogers and John Walker. Despite his new position as a leader of his community in the country, Sams still working as a trauma counselor for military veterans. As such, Mackie said his character is more of a friend to everyone, and employs more thought into his actions. This is particularly important, given the pressure hes under in the film: not only is he Black and operating as Cap after Walker killed a man in public, his friend Isaiah Bradley kicks the plot in motion by trying to assassinate President Ross for no discernable reason. That same level of thought will also apply to Brave New Worlds action scenes. Steve and John had the benefit of the Super Soldier Serum, but Sam is ultimately a guy with a pair of high-tech wings, and people in the Captain America movies tend to die easier than characters in other MCU series. Mackie explained that Sam has to be smart and engineer different ways of defeating [enemies], particularly since hes going up against guys like Red Hulk. His Wakandan-made suit helps even the playing field by taking all of my skills to a completely different level, said the actor. I can kick harder, fly faster, and it gives me the ability to be more agile in my skills.Previous movies and shows havent always been the best at showing off Sams strengths. Well see for sure how he fares on his own when Captain America: Brave New Worldhits theaters on February 14, 2025. Want more io9 news?

Slat House / Oficina de UtopiasSave this picture! ngelo Lopes e Helder DocaHousesMindelo, Cape VerdeArchitects: Oficina de UtopiasAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:481 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2023 Lead Architect: ngelo Lopes More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. The Slat House is a collective housing building consisting of five apartments spread over three floors, each with access from the two streets at different levels. On the street to the East, there is access to the main apartment, a T3, while to the West, at a higher level, there is access to the remaining four T1 apartments, with two on each floor. The entrances from two opposite streets provide a degree of privacy for the T3 apartment owners, distinguishing it from the other four T1 apartments, which are intended for short- and long-term rental.Save this picture!The project aims to take full advantage of these two fronts, extending the apartments across the entire length of the plot. In the T3 apartment, this extension enhances natural light and ventilation of the spaces through two courtyards in the middle and a patio spanning the full width of the plot at the western edge. This is achieved by setting back the upper floor apartments from the street, which reduces direct visibility from the street and offers greater privacy. Access to these apartments is via a suspended staircase that connects the street with access to the T1 apartments. Made with a metal structure and externally clad with wooden slats, this staircase feature marks the connection with the upper street.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The main facade is designed both cantilevered and recessed balconies, with slatted elements that filter direct sunlight in the common living/dining area, preventing overheating of these spaces. The cantilevers and their pivoting windows are inspired by the colonial architecture of the city of Mindelo, adopting a disruptive style that creates varied spatial configurations within these spaces across the five apartments.Save this picture!Save this picture!Construction-wise, the building uses a common structure of concrete and cement blocks, upon which metal structural elements are added to support the various cantilevers on the two facades. These metal elements support the wooden slatted structures stand out, giving the building a distinct identity. This identity is further highlighted by the pictorial contrast of the facades and metal structures in the same green Pantone color, contrasting with the wooden elements and exterior basalt stone flooring, a local stone.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeOficina de UtopiasOfficePublished on November 24, 2024Cite: "Slat House / Oficina de Utopias" [Casa dos Ripados / Oficina de Utopias] 24 Nov 2024.
