The owners of this house, with a beautiful view of the lake and the forest in Quinta da Baroneza, have always been fans of the work of the Gilda Meirelles Architecture office. When they found a ready-made residence that had been tailored for another resident who needed to move, they fell in love at first sight. Over time, the large family began visiting the house more frequentlyon weekends, holidays, and during vacationsand realized they needed more space to comfortably accommodate everyone, including for entertaining occasional guests. Thus, they acquired additional neighboring lots, totaling an area of 1,300 m.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The new plan consisted of expanding and improving the garden and leisure areaswhich now include a beach tennis court with support, a game room, and a home theaterand service areaswhere a kitchen, dining room, and staff quarters were added. In the pool area, all the finishes and coveringswhich had already worn out over time and usewere redone. Additionally, a new suite was included at the residents' request, where sliding doors with wooden slats open directly to a breathtaking view of the Baroneza lake. The renovation approach was to remodel part of the lot to create a new entrance, now possible with the increase in area. The slope of the land was utilized to almost hide the garage beneath the new beach tennis court.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Being a country house, designed as a temporary refuge from urban life, the landscaping, signed by Alex Hanazaki, plays an important role in highlighting and emphasizing the architecture. Since the original project had been done by the same office and the owners liked it very much, the architects maintained the style, modernizing the finishes and adding new roofs and volumes. The chosen colors and the option for wooden frames and stone cladding were specially selected to ensure fluidity between architecture and the countryside, the forest, and the landscape. The biggest challenge, which ultimately became its greatest quality, was the integration of the old project with the new. The standout feature is how the house appears to have been designed all at once, and once completed, we cannot distinguish what already existed from the new part.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officePublished on January 13, 2025Cite: "Lake House / Gilda Meirelles Arquitetura" [Casa do lago / Gilda Meirelles Arquitetura] 13 Jan 2025.

Tattoos from the pre-Columbian Chancay culture of coastal Peru. These tattoo scales are on the forearm of mummified human remains seen under white light. Kaye et al. 2025ShareLasers are typically used to remove tattoos from the skin with mixed results. These tight beams of light can also reveal the ink that once decorated 1,200-year-old pieces of mummified skin. Using a newly developed laser technique, an international team of researchers identified the intricate tattoo designs on mummified human remains that date back to Perus Chancay culture. The findings are detailed in a study published January 13 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

It was likely absorbed by the Inca Empire, when this larger and more powerful group expanded into Chancay land.Chancay pottery was not particularly ornate and most artifacts are simple black-on-white pieces with colors. Some Chancay vessels also depict humorous scenes. Like the Inca, Ancient Egyptians and some cultures from Europe, the Chancay practiced both tattooing the skin and mummification, which preserved body ink. These tattoos appear to be surprisingly more complex than the designs seen on their pottery.Art and location of the Chancay culture.

Artifacts from Arturo Ruiz Estrada Archaeological Museum Collection. CREDIT: Kaye et al. 2025. Mummy meets laserIn the study, the team used a new technique originally developed to study dinosaur fossils called laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF).Our imaging work involved scanning a laser line back-and-forth over the mummified human remains in a dark room, Michael Pittman, a study co-author and archeologist from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, tells Popular Science. This caused the skin of the remains to glow in the dark, vividly backlighting the otherwise hidden details of the original tattoo.LSF was developed by Pittman and study co-author Thomas G. Kaye from Foundation for Scientific Advancement in Arizona. When applying it to the tattooed and mummified skin, it allowed them to see exceptionally fine-line tattoos with incredibly narrow details. The tattoos depict intricate shapes and geometric designs. According to Pittman, some of the tattoos in the study even exceed the artistic precision that is seen in known examples of Chancay pottery, textiles, and rock art.We were most surprised by just how detailed the Chancay tattoos could be, says Pittman. The 0.1 0.2 millimeter lines we discovered are finer than any line a standard #12 modern tattoo needles can produce, so the level of skill and effort that was required from the Chancay artist really blew our minds.Unknown symbolismWhile this study expands scientific understanding of Chancay artistic expression, it raises larger questions about the role of tattoos. These markings may have been used as status symbols or as spiritual emblems.The significance of the tattoos we studied is still being actively studied, but in revealing such unexpectedly detailed tattoos, we show that the Chancay went to special lengths to design and produce certain tattoos suggesting that the significance of their tattoos probably varied, says Pittman.Applying this laser technique to other ancient mummified remains from around the world could offer more insight to ancient tattoo arts.We plan to image other ancient tattoos from around the world using this new technology as we believe it opens up an exciting new frontier to finding other impactful insights into the history of this important artform, says Pittman.

A new method for imaging tattoos reveals intricate designs on Chancay mummies from Peru.

This update introduces a wealth of new features, beginning with The Fantastic Four as central protagonists. Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman are already available, while The Thing and The Human Torch will join later, pushing the games roster to 37 heroesnearly rivaling Overwatch 2. Adding four heroes in one season sets a high bar for future updates, though developers have clarified that Season 1s size is intentionally double that of future seasons.

Inspired directly by drop kick in a SPICY-TWIST of a way you'll never see coming unless you join the crew to help make this gem in the rough of a platformer come to fruition!!!This project will incorporate aspects from some of the greats of platforming in a true homage gone whacky parody. Some of the characters will have move-sets we've come to know and love but other characters will be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL AND ZANY. That's a lot to be said in a game where Zane is the name of the game.
