The post-pandemic world has undergone transformations in various aspects, including urban tourism and new modes of travel. With the rise of remote and freelance work, many people now have the freedom to move between cities without needing to establish a permanent residence. This has turned bars, restaurants, and cafs into more than just spaces for consumption: they are now temporary offices and, in many cases, settings for a variety of activities.

Lyon Confluence Mixed-Use Quarter / David Chipperfield ArchitectsSave this picture! Simon MengesLyon, FranceArchitects: David Chipperfield ArchitectsAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:30000 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Simon Menges More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. The centre of Lyon is located on a peninsula created by the Rhne and Sane rivers as they converge. The southern tip La Confluence has largely been used for industry although, over the last ten years, it has begun to be redeveloped. David Chipperfield Architects was appointed to coordinate three blocks with eleven buildings within a masterplan by Herzog & de Meuron for the second phase of the city centre's extension into La Confluence. This role entailed adapting the wider masterplan to the specific site and proposed programme as well as developing strategies for the landscape and the general massing, organisation and faade design of the buildings. The process involved mediating between and coordinating with the city, clients, sustainability consultants, landscape architects and the other architects involved in the site. Regular collaborative workshops were held to test and develop the proposals.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The ambition is to create a mixed-use quarter with a focus on social and environmental sustainability. Containing a range of housing tenures, offices and a health centre, the buildings are architecturally coherent in material quality but individual in character. Within each block the buildings are grouped to define garden courtyards. Transparent and permeable ground-floors give access to the gardens from the street and, together with the strategic positioning of communal spaces and retail units, help to animate the surrounding public spaces.Save this picture!As well as coordinating this quarter, the practice was appointed to design three individual buildings, one within each of the blocks. These include a social housing building, a mixed-use tower and an office building. All three are shaped by their structure and defined by their simple rectilinear forms yet react to their specific location in different ways.Save this picture!The social housing building is made from cross laminated timber wrapped externally in a precast concrete faade of alternating bands of profiled and smooth panels. Deep recesses in two of its faades create loggias for the apartments facing a public square to the south and the garden to the east. The entrance hall provides a link from street to garden while a caf opens towards the public square.Save this picture!The mixed-use tower contains offices on the lower floors and apartments above. Together with a second tower by Aires Mateus it creates an entrance gesture for the new quarter. In reaction to its dense context, the building has large windows at its corners on the office levels with corresponding balconies in the apartments, offering views over the city and river. The in-situ concrete faade with its continuous board marked texture emphasises the sculptural quality of the building.Save this picture!The office building is prominently located on the river front and is designed for flexibility and a potential future conversion into apartments, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the building. Balconies run along the two principal faades, facing the river and garden respectively. These are articulated by in-situ concrete columns that stand proud of a recessed timber faade. A central hall links to an open staircase, expressed in the west faade, that connects the building to the garden.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Lyon, FranceLocation to be used only as a reference.

Very few basketball players are good enough to make it in the NBA, and that alone places Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell in rare territory. Unfortunately for Mitchell, his skills on the battlefields of Call of Duty don't seem to be the equal of his skills on the basketball court. During a recent press appearance, Mitchell acknowledged his struggles with the game and how it gave him a raspy voice."I've been playing Call of Duty with these kids, screaming at them and stuff, that's where the voice goes," said Mitchell. "It's been rough... I genuinely try to get better, which makes me even more upset. I watch film on my phone, on TikTok. I'm still terrible. As you can tell, I put a lot of effort into Call of Duty."Donovan Mitchell on why his voice was a bit raspy during interviews today:I've been playing Call of Duty with these kids and screaming at them and stuff. So that's where the voice goes... I genuinely try to get better, which makes me even more upset. I watch film on my phone pic.twitter.com/PclDGQG6Dh Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) December 19, 2024 Mitchell's frustration appears to be happening because he's been placed with players who are far above him in terms of their Call of Duty skills. He suggested that this may have happened because he plays basketball for a living before saying that he's asked for a reprieve from his Call of Duty purgatory. Continue Reading at GameSpot
