The project involved the rehabilitation and expansion of an existing building, originally a family home, also including the landscaping recovery of the surrounding land. Inspired by the flora of Terceira Island, the intervention prioritized the conservation of existing species and the introduction of native plants, creating an authentic showcase of the region's endemic flora.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The original construction, dating back to the 16th century and classified under the Safeguard Plan of the World Heritage city, was completely rehabilitated and remodeled internally, resulting in four tourist apartments. The adjacent land, approximately 600 m in size, consists of two platforms at different levels and features, to the south, a unique and stunning view that stretches from Monte Brasil to Ilhu das Cabras. Situated at the highest point of the city, the building overlooks the urban landscape, with the Atlantic and the sky as its horizon.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The main premise of the project was to naturally highlight the views of this magnificent landscape, offering visitors a unique experience. Taking advantage of the natural terracing of the land, a new building was constructed, its volume adapted to the local topography and remaining invisible from the "main house." Its roof blends harmoniously with the upper garden, where two openings metaphorically reference the volcanoes that formed the island. These openings function as English courtyards, bringing natural light into the rooms of the two new apartments and creating a dialogue between the architecture and the surrounding landscape.

The Community on 3rd Ceramics Street / atelier suasuaSave this picture! Yumeng ZhuBeijing , ChinaArchitects: atelier suasuaAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:678 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2023 PhotographsPhotographs:Yumeng ZhuMore SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!A slowly forming community - From 2016 to 2023, we had six design projects in No.88, 3rd Ceramics Street, including architectural renovation, interior design, and installation design. Although it is located in the same plot, each renovation is relatively independent due to the different design time stages and users. Looking back at the current, design is a process of repeated collage and superposition. Due to the inability to make a unified plan, there is no essential difference between this place and other spontaneously renovated spaces in the city.Save this picture!Save this picture!Interestingly, as time goes by, the vitality brought by this "spontaneity" gradually emerges. From an architectural perspective, the dialogue between the new and the old is happening all the time, brick-concrete structures and prefabricated slabs, reinforced concrete frame structures, and steel structures appear here at the same time. The interactive relationship between each independent space and the centripetal force toward the courtyard is also strengthening. From the user's perspective, due to the combination of functions, the interaction between different communities has increased, which has stimulated the sense of belonging between individuals and space. Although the design is bottom-up, after time, the site gradually has the integrity of space and atmosphere.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The most recent renovation - The renovation of the south wing of the factory in 2023 was the most recent one. The building is a two-story brick-concrete building located at the entrance of the site, with the south facade facing the main road of the 798 Park and the north facade facing the inner courtyard. The design task is to transform it into an independent baking studio.Save this picture!Save this picture!We retained the original window openings on the street facade to control the sight of passers-by so that they can focus on the bread bar in the foreground and penetrate the courtyard to reach the guide wall of the coffee space, arousing curiosity to enter the courtyard. At the same time, the main entrance along the street was adjusted to the gable side, prompting guests to see the whole courtyard through the main entrance of the courtyard before choosing to come to the store.Save this picture!Save this picture!The north facade facing the courtyard continues the renovation method of the north wing coffee space in 2016, using steel structure and large glass to replace the original red brick facade. At this time, the north and south walls that originally enclosed the outdoor courtyard are open and transparent, blurring the relationship between indoor and outdoor, and visually pushing the boundary of the enclosed courtyard space back to the outermost wall of the entire site. Big trees in the courtyard are more like columns in the entire "grand space" and become elements of the space.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Chao Yang District, Beijing, ChinaLocation to be used only as a reference.

Nature, Published online: 18 December 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-04134-2An innovative technique called HORNET uses atomic force microscopy and a machine-learning architecture called a deep neural network to recapitulate the 3D structures of individual RNA molecules. This method enables the study of the structure and dynamics of RNAs that adopt flexible and variable conformations under biologically relevant conditions.

Connections is back with yet another challenging daily word puzzle. In order to win, you'll need to figure out which words go together in four different, secretly themed groups. And today's words are not easy ones.

A distinct draw to Control is learning and using the various powers that the protagonist, Jesse Faden, can use to obliterate her opponents throughout the Oldest House. Beyond playing this heroine with superheroic tendencies and unraveling the mysteries of the Federal Bureau of Control, Jesse also has a wide range of outfits that players can unlock for Jesse by completing certain tasks in the game, and they each bring a different style that players can choose for themselves.

The 1990s saw lots of companies try and get into the console market to compete against Nintendo and Sega. Big or small, they each tried to carve their own niche in the market, though few succeeded. For example, SNK wanted to bring their arcade games to peoples homes without having to compress them to fit into another consoles dinkier hardware.

The story of Control sees its main character, Jesse Faden, exploring the Oldest House to unlock the mysteries of the Federal Bureau of Control, also known as the FBC. Along the way, she will not only uncover where her brother has been taken, but also obtain various powers that she will use to destroy the Hiss that are invading the headquarters. Even more, each power that Jesse unlocks can be upgraded and made even more powerful through the use of Ability Points that can be invested in the game's skill trees.
