Yarn is located in the settlement of Agkairia on Paros. It has a southwestern orientation to maximize light and protect against the strong northern winds characteristic of the Cycladic island. The plot allowed for the development of this residence with open floor plans, following a jagged line that embraces the volumes of the house, creating sheltered courtyards, outdoor spaces, visual boundaries, and sheltered outdoor seating areas. By incorporating elements of Cycladic architecture found in similar buildings, we designed a house that harmoniously integrates with the landscape, adhering to the principles of bioclimatic architecture aimed at minimizing the building's environmental footprint and creating protected spaces from the strong winds and heat of the summer months.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Although oriented toward the view, the residence possesses an interiority that exudes tranquility, inspired by the Cycladic monasteries. The large volume of a single building is fragmented into smaller masses, ensuring a harmonious adaptation of the structure to the landscape and significantly reducing the building's bulk. The courtyard space that connects the separate volumes creates a cohesive residential ensemble. The entrance on the eastern side is marked by a large stairs descent and endemic planting that define the central axis around which the residence develops. Living spaces are located on the southern side with an open floor plan, while the sleeping and guest quarters are arranged on the northern side in smaller, independent volumes.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Particular attention has been given to every morphological element added to the building to meet the needs of modern residents. The design of the openings is integrated with the architectural character of the structure. The element of repetition and standardization of openings dominates the design. Additionally, the pergola in the BBQ area rests against the stone wall. The dry stone walls, a unique construction characteristic of the Cyclades, extend in a ribbon along the entire length of the residence, defining its aesthetics in relation to the existing landscape. The largest white volume of the living area is centrally positioned within the residence, adjacent to the swimming pool courtyard.Save this picture!All elements that compose the surrounding outdoor spacesmall scales, pergolas, planting, materials, and floor coveringsare directly related to the unique geometry of the project. The composition leverages the irregular layout of the stone walls, which nonetheless conform to the topography and shape of the plot, creating a living space with functions that are interconnected and developed in sequence. The stone "ribbon" symbolically defines the space and organizes the development of the residence, primarily establishing human intervention by utilizing earth materials, namely stone masonry, with the aim of ensuring the building's harmonious integration into the environment. Endemic planting complements and connects the building with its surroundings, delineating the space. The distinct geometric arrangement, the simple volumes, the use of unplastered stone walls, and the economy of hard surfaces emphasize the archetypal form of this residence. The landscape architecture is integrated into the project, covering much of the land with vegetation while leaving the majority of the plot intact, preserving its original flora.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeREACT ARCHITECTSOfficeMaterialsStoneConcreteMaterials and TagsPublished on January 15, 2025Cite: "Yarn Residence / REACT ARCHITECTS" 15 Jan 2025.

The first version of Tetris visible in the Lenin Museum in Tampere. It's displayed on a SyncMaster 750s monitor and can be played by visitors using a Key Tronic keyboard. Credit: WikicommonsShareTheres a global community dedicated to finding new ways to challenge themselves in Tetris, from speedruning the classic puzzler to technically beating it. But the latest feat isnt a newly discovered hidden glitch or high scoreits an entirely new way to play the game.Thomas Rinsma, a security analyst and hobbyist tinkerer, recently figured out how to create a version of Tetris that runs inside a PDF file. According to a personal website post subsequently highlighted by BoingBoing on January 15th, Rinsma tackled the project just for fun after learning the potential implementations of PDFs JavaScript API. The result is a novel version Rinsma calls PDFTRIS.PDFTRIS in action. Credit: Popular Science [I] realized there just might be enough I/O possibility there for a game, he wrote. I/O stands for Input/Output, and refers to the communication between a computer and its users.Rinsma explained that its already relatively well-known that PDFs can support a number of features such as dynamic content scripting when opened in something like Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Some of that same scripting support, however, is also available in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chromiums respective PDF readers, PDF.js and PDFium.[ Related: Is Tetris infinite? Teen world champ reaches fabled rebirth ]It gets a bit complex to the layperson from there, but regardless, the end result is a PDF containing a 1020 grid of field buttons. These alternate between shaded and empty blocks depending on the JavaScript input, allowing a player to use preprogrammed keyboard instructions to move and shift the tetronimoesthe official term for four-block shapes such as those in Tetris blocks.It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation fields works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box, Rinsma wrote in a post to Hacker News. Get the Popular Science newsletter Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. By signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.Throw in the ability for the file to automatically loop and reload each command, and you have a functional game of Tetris. It even speeds up as your score increases. Anyone interested in checking under PDFTRISs hood can check out Rinsmas open-source files available on GitHub.For those in the know, the ability to play a video game in a PDF file begs a certain, extremely specific programming community question. As luck would have it, Rinsma already has the answer: Yes, PDFs can also run Doom.

AI-designed proteins that stick to these toxins could one day be part of new antivenom therapies.Digital Vision/gettyimagesBy Meghan Rosen17 seconds agoArtificial intelligence could take the bite out of snake venom.Using AI, scientists have designed proteins that say not so fassst to toxins wielded by cobras and other venomous snakes. Its a proof-of-concept approach that could one day offer a new treatment for snakebites. In lab experiments, the custom proteins saved the lives of mice given an otherwise lethal dose of toxins, researchers report January 15 in Nature.These proteins are really doing their job, says Michael Hust, an antibody researcher at the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany who was not involved with the new research. The mice are surviving. This is what we all want.

If you're looking to kick back with a few games that you might have missed when they were first released, you can check out all the new arrivals coming to the PS Plus Game Catalog on January 21. This month, 11 games are being added and these range from PS1 and PS2 classics, to indie hits from not too long ago.Back in November we got the Yakuza spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin, and if you're hungry for more of RGG Studio's signature blend of action and gangland melodrama, you can hop into Like a Dragon Gaiden this month. There's also God of War Ragnarok in case you want to dip into Sony's first-party library, Sayonara Hearts will let you break hearts and bones, you can check out the first Citizen Sleeper game before its sequel arrives at the end of the month, and catch up with an undead knight from the original PlayStation console days.As a reminder, all PS Plus subscribers can also claim this month's batch of new games, as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered are all available to download right now. God of War Ragnarok (PS5, PS4)The final chapter in Kratos' Nordic saga, God of War Ragnarok is an action-packed game that also tells a heartfelt story. Set shortly after the events of the 2018 God of War game, Ragnarok expanded on its ideas to deliver a bigger and grander adventure as Kratos and his son Atreus found themselves in conflict with the Norse pantheon of gods. On top of the excellent single-player campaign, there's also a cool roguelike mode if you want to test your strength. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (PS5, PS4)An interquel set between the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon Gaiden is a short and action-heavy detour from the turn-based RPG games starring Ichiban Kasuga. If you prefer old-school Yakuza, then you'll get a kick out of this spin-off, which once again stars Kazuma Kiryu in a leading role. There's a fun story here, a fighting style to master that revolves around the use of cool gadgets, and an ending that'll leave you in tears. Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand (PS5)While it was one of the more forgettable action games of 2023, Atlas Fallen is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something to try out between your commitment to new game releases. The Reign of Sand update helped fine-tune Atlas Fallen's gameplay, as it expanded the world, revamped progression, added new quests, overhauled the voice acting, and dropped in a new difficulty mode. SD Gundam Battle Alliance (PS5, PS4)There's nothing cooler than one of the signature mobile suit mechs from the Gundam universe, and if you've been wondering if they could look cute as well, SD Gundam Battle Alliance will answer that question for you. This adorable action-RPG puts you in control of multiple mobile suits, and you'll need to fix an altered history by battling your way through legions of mechs that stand in your way. It's a fun way to experience pivotal moments from the Gundam anime series, and the multiplayer mode is also quite fun in case you're feeling social. Sayonara Wild Hearts (PS4)Motorcycles, sword battles, and skateboarding in a neon-lit world makes for a killer combo, and you can experience all of that in the cult-classic Sayonara Wild Hearts. Not just a fun arcade-inspired game, Sayonara Wild Hearts also pairs its gameplay with a banger of a soundtrack that'll live rent-free in your head long after the end credits have rolled. ANNO: Mutationem (PS5, PS4)Another neon-soaked game to check out this month is ANNO: Mutationem. The action-RPG puts you in the boots of Ann, a one-woman-army on a personal mission to take down sinister mega-corporations and mysterious fringe groups. Orcs Must Die 3 (PS5, PS4)The Orcs Must Die games have been fun entries in the Tower Defense genre, and Orcs Must Die 3 ups the ante by throwing an obscene number of the vile creatures at your fort. Fortunately, you've got an arsenal of weapons, traps, and defenses that you can build, destroying any orcish war machine that dares to cross your borders. Citizen Sleeper (PS5, PS4)With a sequel out on January 31, now is a great time to check out the original Citizen Sleeper. A sci-fi indie adventure inspired by the flexibility and freedom of TTRPGs, it has a great art direction, interesting gameplay mechanics, and an intriguing story. Poker Club (PS4)For the card sharks out there, you can sit down for Poker Club this month. Designed to be an immersive simulation of the popular card game, there are tournaments to enter and a community of online players to face off against. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (PS5, PS4)What better way to prepare for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle than by revisiting an Indy classic? 2009's Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings was a pretty sold third-person action game at the time of its release on PS2, and this new version comes with up-rendered visuals, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. MediEvil 2 (PS5, PS4)Finally, you can get Medievil on some asses with the return of Sir Daniel Fortesque. Following the success of the first game, MediEvil 2 was a fun sequel that allowed you to wield all manner of ye olde melee weapons--and the occasional chicken drumstick--against foul enemies, solve puzzles, and chuckle at some ghoulish humor along the way.
