Every company seems to have an AI angle these days, even those in very analog businesses. Mondelez, the snack conglomerate that owns everything from Chips Ahoy to Clif bars, says it has been using a proprietary AI tool to quickly generate ideas for new snacks.The Wall Street Journal in a piece about Mondelezs AI explains the company began development of the tool back in 2019: Food scientists there use the AI tool to create optimal recipes by specifying desired characteristics, including flavor (buttery, in-mouth saltiness, or vanilla intensity, for instance), aroma (oily, egg flavor, burnt, among others) and appearance (amount of chips, roundness, chip edges are considerations). The tool also considers parameters like the cost of ingredients, their environmental impact and their nutritional profile. Nobody thinks eating rocks or putting glue on pizza is a good ideaMondelez isnt using generative artificial intelligence here, but rather machine learning, a more traditional form of AI that isnt prone to hallucinating in the same way because it is optimizing outcomes rather than trying to create entirely new things. The same way Waze might use machine learning to optimize a route from A to B, Mondelezs tool is simply looking for the correct mix of ingredients to attain desired characteristics.It still had some problems in the early days, however: Earlier iterations of the tool that werent given as much data made some unhinged suggestions. Because [baking soda is] a very low-cost ingredient, it would try to just make cookies that were very high in baking soda, which doesnt taste good at all, said Wallenstein, the biscuit digital R&D section manager. Mondelez told the Journal that the AI is trained on the essence of different products, like Oreos, so that it doesnt stray too far from what consumers might expect. And recipes of course are still taste-tested. But Mondelez claims that whereas it previously developed new recipes through simple trial-and-error, having an AI come up with detailed recipes has allowed new products to reach production trials 4-5 times faster. Based on the investor frenzy for AI-related companies these days, we expect Mondelezs stock price to soar following this Journal article.

The Frankfurt Prototype / Barkow LeibingerSave this picture! Barkow LeibingerFrankfurt, GermanyArchitects: Barkow LeibingerYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Barkow LeibingerMore SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. With "The Frankfurt Prototype", students from the Stdelschule and Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (Frankfurt UAS) have realized a pioneering architectural project in the courtyard of the Senckenberg Research Institute. This temporary structure features an open, multifunctional market hall on the ground floor and flexible living and working spaces on the first floor, designed specifically for students. The building promotes social interaction and a connection to nature, integrating sustainable materials and adaptable spatial concepts. Barkow Leibinger supported the students in the planning and realization and accompanied the implementation of the prototype until completion in autumn 2024.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!At the heart of the project is a cost-effective, resource-efficient design that offers high living quality. By using recycled steel and repurposed concrete formwork, the project minimizes its CO footprint. The modular, prefabricated residential units on the upper floor can be flexibly adapted to meet various living needs. The public market hall on the ground floor serves as the city's "living room" and can function as a theater, cinema, exhibition space, and market for sustainable products, addressing the importance of regional food supply. These spaces are further enhanced by the working areas of the "Center for Contemporary Arts Afghanistan (CCAA)," an initiative by Rahraw Omarzad that brings cultural enrichment to the project.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The concept also includes innovative elements for biodiversity and sustainable urban living, exemplified by a "green urban filter." In close collaboration with researchers from the Senckenberg Society, the students developed biodiversity-friendly elements for the building's structure. In addition to Barkow Leibinger, Yara von Lindequist and Rudi Scheuermann (Arup Engineering) as well as Schneider+Schumacher were involved in the realization of the project. The building will be accessible in the courtyard of the Senckenberg Institute until the end of the year and will serve as a lively place for discussion and reflection on the urban future. Afterward, the construction will be reused elsewhere.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Frankfurt, GermanyLocation to be used only as a reference.

Interior Design Trends of 2024Presented by:Save this picture!More House / Spacefiction Studio. Image Vivek EadaraAs 2024 comes to an end, a dynamic year that questioned knowledge, tradition, and innovation, we take a look at how global events and trends influenced the design of interior spaces. Last year, architecture practices sparked worldwide discussions, challenging norms and tradition, and embracing overlooked regions. Interior design, on the other hand, took a more reserved, modest approach, favoring simplicity and individuality. Fast forward a year later, the overall architecture and design themes of 2023 remain the same - reinforced if anything - but have embraced "crafted experimentations" through subtle, acupuncture-like interventions. This year, particularly towards the second half, witnessed unexpected societal shifts. While voices of the global south continue to rise, voices within that region that have been dormant for years reinforced themselves globally, disrupting a decades-long perception. Along with the political challenges, many industries were drastically transformed by artificial intelligence, raising concerns about digital equity, misinformation, and the evolution (or lack thereof) of global practices. Despite financial commitments and environmental initiatives from governments around the world, ongoing natural disasters and climate-related challenges demonstrated the need for more resilient solutions and policies.Save this picture!2024's design trends reflected a balance between welcoming in new technologies and celebrating timeless design principles. Same as every year, we saw a subtle universal design language as key trends in different design disciplines found their way across each other. Dark mode was one of the common themes of the year, making its way to web, graphic, product, and interior designs. Modern nostalgia has also been a prominent style for a couple of years now, as designers revive old aesthetics and combine them with contemporary elements. Tackling global environmental challenges and designing spaces that cater to both people and the planet continue to dominate all design industries.From a general perspective, 2024 design trends can be interpreted as 2023 2.0; we didn't see disruptive new themes but upgrades and reinterpretations of what we've been seeing the past couple of years. Earth colors continued to dominate this year, which comes as no surprise given the announcement of Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year. This year, we also saw a return of luxury materials - sharper, darker, and colder finishes that make for a bolder and more prominent revamp of classics. Hospitality interiors, especially coffee shops and pop-up restaurants, introduced a community-centric layout where users are seated on the same unit around a focal point, sharing the culinary experience. Minimalist decor was replaced with quiet luxury, as residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors embodied a refined spa-like aesthetic. For years, organic forms took center stage, but this year, we saw a return of sharp geometric edges in all areas of the interior space: pitched roofs, grid plans, angular furniture and fixtures, etc.Based on over 1000 projects published in our database, here are 10 design trends that shaped the interior spaces of 2024.Pitched Roof InteriorsSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Exploring Shades of Grey with Concrete & Steel CombinationsSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!"Quiet Luxury" as a StyleSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!A Community-Centric Culinary ExperienceSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Sculptural IslandsSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Sharp Rectangular Forms Replace Organic FormsSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Color of the Year: Rustic Brown and Muted BurgundySave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Mahogany WoodSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Dark AccentsSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Trees as a Focal PointSave this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Find more projects that highlight the 2024 interior design trends in this My ArchDaily folder created by the author.This article is part of an ArchDaily series that explores features of interior architecture, from our own database of projects.
