Refectory, Lounge, Library at King's College International School Bangkok / OnionSave this picture! W WorkspaceLibrary, SchoolsThailandArchitects: OnionYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:W WorkspaceMore SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!"The Refectory" is the dining area of a new building at King's College International School Bangkok. This new building was built for senior high school students. Generally, the dining hall in a school tends to be used by teachers and students only at lunchtime. Later on in the day, the space may remain empty. Onion decided to design a canteen that can be used throughout the day.Save this picture!There are two zones in Onion's design: 156 seats in air conditioning and 90 seats in a naturally ventilated space. The total number of seats is 246, with many types of chairs designed for different sitting postures. Each space is divided by the colors of its materials rather than by partitions. The main color of the Refectory is light blue. Blue is the color of the senior year of King's College International School Bangkok. We wanted the space to be relaxing so we chose a lighter shade of blue, in contrast with the orange brick walls of the building.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Tables are mostly designed to seat groups rather than individuals. These range from bar stools, 2 seated square tables, through to 12 seated round tables and 20 seated long tables. There are visual connections between each dining room and the rest of the school, with The Refectory's naturally ventilated area being a part of the building's main atrium. Beyond lunch times, students and teachers can use this space to read, do homework, relax, and have discussions.Save this picture!"The Sixth Form Centre" in a new building of the school takes up the space of two floors and includes lockers, living areas, study areas, playrooms, teacher and consultant rooms, drinking water, and snack vending machines. The new center functions like the students' lounge. They use this space outside classroom hours. Onion provides many types of chairs and seating arrangements to serve how students would like to sit. There are individual seats, group seats, and seats for reading, working, and relaxation. Navy blue accents and surfaces are used throughout the Sixth Form Centre, the color for the school's senior year. It is part of a color palette of pale wood, silver, and light blue.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Every space in this Sixth Form Centre overlooks another. There is no enclosed space that cannot be seen, for a reason of safety. Many walls are clad with white colored glass so that students can write on them. They are made to be easily wiped clean. The central staircase is designed to be the sitting area that connects the fourth and the fifth floors. Within this space, students can see the activities around them and they can also be seen. The seating faces the football courtyard, the green area of the school. This is for students to see outdoor activities and movements that happen outside.Save this picture!Playrooms are enclosed by transparent glass. Light blue colored metal laminate panels are the main materials inside the rooms. They have an exposed gridded structure, covering both walls and ceilings. This enclosure looks like an enlarged graph paper notebook, the kind students use. The same pattern is used in different locations around the Sixth Form Centre.Save this picture!"The library" occupies two floors of the new building, connected by a copper laminated staircase and bridge, built diagonally across a double-height working space. The total area of the library is 864 square meters. The exterior elements of this building are mainly brick walls. Onion therefore decided to bring orange bricks into the interior spaces. The copper laminated boards have a shiny effect which is juxtaposed with the matte quality of the brick.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The arrangement of furniture lets students choose how they want to sit and work. Students can sit in front of windows looking out to the city, or on the bridge overlooking the rest of the library. We designed 175 seats for groups with either tables and chairs or sofas. There are also 5 study/meeting rooms for group discussions.Save this picture!On the first floor of the library, individual reading spaces are located next to the entrance, reception desk, and bookshelves, which hold a maximum capacity of 11,200 books. Reading desks are divided by glass walls, which we covered with a white film for students' privacy and safety. The film fades from opaque at the bottom to transparent at the ceiling, from the outside you can see only the silhouettes of bodies reading and studying.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Bangkok, ThailandLocation to be used only as a reference.

Roblox, a popular online game platform and game creation system, has been confirmed to be a part of an ongoing investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a federal government agency primarily responsible for enforcing laws against market manipulation.RobloxIn response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by Bloomberg last week, the agency stated that it could not share correspondence between its staff referencing Roblox, citing potential harm to the ongoing enforcement proceeding.According to Bloombergs Cecilia DAnastasio, it is presently unclear to what extent Roblox is involved or if it is the subject of the investigation. Roblox itself has not responded to the outlets requests for comment, and the SEC has only revealed that it had confirmed with Division of Enforcement staff that there are responsive emails between Enforcement staff referencing Roblox and that these emails are part of an active and ongoing investigation.Throughout 2024, the studio has faced multiple lawsuits and reports related to various forms of child exploitation within the game. In March, the law firm Bullock Ward Mason filed a lawsuit on behalf of a group of American parents, alleging that Roblox violates US labor laws and financially exploits children by compensating them with the nigh-worthless virtual currency, Robux, in exchange for creating games on the platform.In response to accusations of child labor exploitation, Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza offered a controversial perspective one could summarize as, Children dont think theyre exploited, so its fine. Speaking in April, Corazza stated, You can say, Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labor, right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income. For them, you know, hearing from their experience, they didnt feel like they were exploited!Half a year later, Hindenburg Research published a lengthy report accusing Roblox of fostering an X-rated pedophile hellscape, a claim the studio categorically denied. However, the entire country of Turkey had previously reached a similar conclusion, banning Roblox in August over concerns of sexual exploitation based on reports about pedophilia at virtual parties, incentivized by Robux.At the moment, it cannot be definitively confirmed whether the Securities and Exchange Commissions current investigation is in any way connected to the child exploitation allegations.Dont forget to join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Roblox is Part of an Ongoing Investigation by the US Government appeared first on CG SHARES.

Sony2024 witnessed the shutdown of many studios, and one of them is Ready At Dawn, the developer known for Echo VR, Lone Echo, Daxter, The Order: 1886, and several God of War games for PSP. What came with the sad news was that a reliable insider reported that the studio was planning a sequel to The Order before Meta acquired it in 2020, which never saw the light of day.Recently, Ready At Dawn co-founder Andrea Pessino opened up about the sequel pitch for the 2015 PlayStation-exclusive action adventure. He shared in an interview with MinnMax that the reason it didnt get Sony to approve was probably not due to sales, but its reception was not that great. The Order: 1886 received mixed or average reviews from critics and scored 63 on Metacritic.I think it was the critical reception, thats the thing. Sony is a very proud group and rightfully so, and the critical reception, if it had even been just in the 70s, we would have had the sequel, Im convinced. Just a few points more and it would have been OK.The score could be better if the studio had been given more time, We needed another year, thats the reality. Due to limited development time, lots of content got cut, which could be one of the reasons for the lukewarm reception. A lot of the more subtle narrative parts were lost because so much was chopped away, and things that were supposed to be interactive became a movie, Pessino added.Pessino describe the sequel, if it couldve ever been created, as incredible and featuring multiplayer. He did not specify the setting but denies the rumor about it being set in 1986.Join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Ready At Dawn Co-Founder On Why Sony Didnt Approve The Order: 1886 Sequel appeared first on CG SHARES.

EA has called on fans to provide feedback on the art direction of the reimagined of Plants vs. Zombies 3."We ran some external tests to gather insight into which art styles sparked interest among participants in our focus groups! Were actively gathering that data, but we also know that theres no better feedback than yours--the passionate PvZ community," EA said in a new blog post.EA showed three images of the same plant punching a zombie but in three different art styles and is asking fans to share their thoughts on social media with the hashtag #PvZ3 and which one they prefer. The first one is a slightly 3D cel-shaded art direction compared to the second one. However, the third one is much more dynamic, looking like a comic-book panel.Continue Reading at GameSpot
