Got What It Takes to Reimagine Real Estate and Urban Life, the Harvard Way?Sponsored ContentSave this picture!Courtesy of HarvardThe Advanced Management Development Program (AMDP) stands as Harvard's premier leadership program for seasoned real estate professionals and executives, offering a unique opportunity to reshape perspectives on the evolving built environment. Tailored for high-level practitioners and firm leaders, the program spans just one year, with five weeks spent on Harvard's campus, culminating in the coveted title of Harvard alum. As one recent graduate aptly put it, "I would describe the program as a crash course in how to think differently and most importantly a chance to meet inspiring classmates who are looking to do the same thing."Save this picture!A key highlight of the AMDP is its rich, global network. Participants hail from all corners of the world and represent a wide array of sectors within the built environment, each a seasoned leader in their respective fields. This dynamic, international cohort creates an unparalleled learning environment where diverse perspectives converge. Over the course of the year, participants dive deep into core real estate functions, discover cutting-edge strategies for leading change, and expand their horizons through a comprehensive curriculum that offers: a comprehensive understanding of core real estate functions; new approaches for leading change; a broader grasp of areas including strategy, leadership, planning & design, development, technology and finance. During the three on-campus terms, the case study method is the primary form of instruction, and participants attend an average of fifteen 90-minute interactive sessions per week in leadership, development, finance, planning and design, technology, and strategy. Participants learn from world-class Harvard faculty and industry experts.Save this picture!Save this picture!The program also features two intensive projects that bring the program's teaching to life: the Team Project and the Independent Project. The Team Project is an academic exercise employing professional experience and class learning. Participants are divided into teams and compete to solve complex development problems in real-world locales.Problems for the Team Project are as diverse as the redevelopment of dying shopping malls in Denver and Los Angeles or brownfield sites on Staten Island to exploring possibilities for the city of Toronto or the East Boston waterfront. The project begins during Term 1 and culminates with an intensive design charrette, where teams present their proposals to a jury panel during Term 2.Save this picture!Save this picture!The Independent Project is a unique opportunity for participants to integrate their new learning from the AMDP with their aspirations for themselves, their organizations, and their communities. The Independent Projects are individual, but the work will be developed, reviewed, and discussed with two coaches, who are available to provide advice and answer questions. The Independent Project work takes place between Term 2 and 3, culminating with individual presentations during Term 3 to classmates and faculty.The AMDP also allows each participant to explore the subjects most relevant to them and their goals through electives. Topics range from designing more walkable cities to redesigning workplaces in a post-pandemic world, building decarbonization, and the impact of AI on the built environment.Save this picture!Save this picture!Learn more about the Advanced Management Development Program at Harvard here.Image gallerySee allShow lessCite: "Got What It Takes to Reimagine Real Estate and Urban Life, the Harvard Way?" 04 Jan 2025.

More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. In response to the 5th Edition of the Biennale Svizzera del Territorio open call Back to the Future, about notions of how architects could operate in a future shaped by a multitude of crises that seem unintelligible, we like to think an essential approach for architecture is to uphold its openness and inclusivity, thereby positioning itself as a mediator.Save this picture!Save this picture!As a tangible manifestation of this approach, the project focuses on the ambiguous condition of the Villa Saroli parks border, particularly the low wall facing Viale Stefano Franscini. Half inside, half outside, we propose installing a 2m by 8m table atop of the wall based on an element of division, a space of conjunction. The table consists of a structure made from recycled wooden beams and is covered with reflective aluminum sheets, creating a peculiar surface that renders both the physical and conceptual boundaries in question ambiguous.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!What was once only a border should now also serve as a meeting area: the table, an elemental object of domestic life and human sociability, with such dimensions, operates as a flexible platform open to various uses: discussions, workshops, lectures, and more.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Lugano, SwitzerlandLocation to be used only as a reference.

NieR: Automata rewards players heavily for playing aggressively and quickly taking out their enemies before they even get the chance to attack. That being said, there are multiple ways to counter incoming attacks, with the lesser-known one being counter.

Take a trip to Tokyo's most famous fictional district, and the not-so-fictional restaurants, products, and clubs in Like A Dragon's Kamurocho!

With there being well over 9000 video games based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga and subsequent anime, narrowing down the list to the best titles of all time is far from an easy feat. Admittedly, this is less about being spoiled for choice and more a case of there just being a ton of mediocre Dragon Ball games that barely try to stick out from the crowd.

While fans eagerly anticipate Grand Theft Auto 6, players are still getting plenty of mileage out of the games predecessor. Rockstar is continuing to provide official updates for GTA Online, and players are building their own role-play servers set in San Andreas. These servers players build their own cultures, implementing homebrewed mechanics and new ways to role-play. One of these servers is PurpleRP, which recently launched a 1.0 update that includes racing and boosting systems, housing and property, agriculture, drugs, and turf systems. The server currently hosts hundreds of players every day.GTA Online lets players dabble in a dozen professions, from a humble taxi driver to a prestigious nightclub owner. But none of these lifestyles provide much in the way of depth; theyre essentially just an excuse to undertake new missions. On role-play servers, a players career is a big deal: Cops go out on patrol with their partners, criminals join gangs to plan heists or go to war with a rival syndicate, and a variety of citizens work at shops, run agencies, and found their own companies.PurpleRP offers unique mechanics for medical services, the department of justice, auto mechanics, and other professions. There are also custom NPCs hanging out around this version of San Andreas, giving out tasks to passing players like washing nearby cars or completing race challenges.These custom servers offer a very different experience to GTA Online, with an emphasis on player property, creative expression, and building a progressive narrative. They feel like broader versions of a Sims game, with plenty of crossover into the realm of cops and robbers. While theres obviously the abstract role-play youd expect on such servers, there are also mechanics taken from action RPGs.While FiveM, a popular mod, serves as a broad framework, developers are able to write their own scripts and develop their own internal systems. For instance, players can earn profession points, which allow them to excel at a particular field like scavenging, hunting, cooking, or carpentry. Criminals start with petty crime, but slowly build experience to access greater heists. Players can rent apartments and slowly save up to buy new homes, which they can then decorate and use as backdrops for domestic role-play.Even though we can expect Grand Theft Auto 6 to arrive later this year, volunteer developers and a community of players continue to invest their time in ongoing experiences like PurpleRP. These worlds have taken on lives of their own, and theyre growing increasingly sophisticated.Rockstar clearly sees the promise in role-play servers, because the company acquired FiveM, the mod that enables players to run their own role-play servers, in 2023. We dont know what the future of that deal looks like, but fan developers are already building their own versions of large-scale role-play environments, and it seems likely that Rockstar will take inspiration from these bustling communities.
