A number of major carmakers including Toyota, Stellantis, Mazda, and Subaru "pooled" their emissions with EV makers Polestar and Tesla earlier this year, in an effort to comply with tougher European Union carbon emissions rules.Put differently, the companies are hoping to meet yearly emissions targets by teaming up with EV companies, which have racked up an abundance of carbon credits since their vehicles don't produce any carbon emissions like gas guzzlers.It's a clever accounting trick that allows makers of internal combustion vehicles to skirt around EU regulations and avoid hefty penalties.It's also a mutually beneficial agreement, with EV makers like Tesla making billions on emissions deals. Just last year, the company made a whopping $2.76 billion, representing a 54 percent increase in the income stream year-over-year.But as Politico reports, that source of revenue could quickly dry up in 2025.That's in large part thanks to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's extremely divisive remarks and actions, including two Hitler salutes during president Donald Trump's inauguration proceedings. In the wake of those outbursts, Tesla sales in Europe have been a complete disaster so far this year.Those weak sales stand to directly undermine the ongoing plan to "pool" carbon credits. The company is already far behind its 2025 emissions targets, according to an analysis from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ITCC). That's despite a healthy 34 percent increase in EV sales overall, suggesting the problem is Tesla, not waning demand."If things go bad for Tesla and they don't sell enough cars this year, they might not have enough credits for what they promised Stellantis and the others," ITCC managing director Peter Mock told Politico. "Tesla is under pressure."It's a looming crisis, with sales data suggesting Tesla's popularity is taking a prolonged nosedive. Sales are down across Europe, with France seeing a 26 percent drop in February compared to the same period last year.Tesla dealerships have also seen a surge in demonstrations and vandalism worldwide, highlighting growing anti-Musk sentiment.Beyond Musk's behavior, the carmaker has also struggled to keep up with a surge in competition in the space, particularly from China.And adding to all that, Tesla's lineup is also looking notably out-of-date."The much bigger impact on Tesla is the fact that the models are outdated," German used car platform Cardino cofounder Lukasz Pajak told Politico. "And then you have the pricing element where new players on the market are much more affordable."More on Tesla: Tesla Just Got Even More Bad NewsShare This Article

Shane Snider, Senior Writer, InformationWeekMarch 4, 20254 Min ReadFeodora Chiosea via Alamy StockThe Trump administration on Tuesday pulled the trigger on promised tariffs targeting goods and services from China, Mexico, and Canada, escalating new conflicts with Americas top three trade partners.Goods and services from Mexico and Canada will face tariffs of 25%, while Chinese goods will face an additional 10% (on top of the 10% announced a month ago). Those tariffs will be paid by importers, who will likely pass price increases onto consumers. Those countries have all announced retaliatory tariffs on American goods and services and other actions.Trump said the tariffs were enacted to stop the flow of fentanyl and chemicals used in the drugs production from entering the US. He has also stated the tariffs will spur domestic manufacturing.China announced immediate retaliatory tariffs of 10% to 15% on select US imports and new export restrictions for designated US entities. The country also said it filed complaints about the new tariffs with the World Trade Organization.Canada struck back with a 25% tariff on $20.7 billion worth of US imports, promising to add another $83.7 billion worth of goods and services in 21 days. Mexico was expected to announce its response on Tuesday.Gary Shapiro, CEO and vice chair of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), says the tariffs will spur increased technology pricing across the board. Tariffs will spur inflation, and not just on groceries, Shapiro said in a statement. CTA research shows tariffs make the tech products Americans love and rely on more expensive.Related:IT leaders will feel the pinch as well. Budgets, already stretched thin to accommodate increased spending on artificial intelligence, will now face pricing pressure for components and materials mostly produced abroad.Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University, tells InformationWeek that even enacted for a short period, the tariffs will have long-lasting consequences. I think well have to start seeing negative consequences to the point that the decision is made to end the current tariff regime, he says in a phone interview. The challenge with that is that the President will have to have the optics that hes coming out a winner, so its difficult to see how that gets resolved soon. [Trump] seems to have a chronic inability to ever admit to having made a mistake.Tariffs on MaterialsThe Trump Administrations announcement of a blanket 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports would also increase costs for the technology sector through direct and indirect economic pressure, experts warn.Related:Amid a flurry of President Donald Trumps executive actions in the first weeks of holding office, the administration has also announced a plan to charge a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports.Trump says steel and aluminum tariffs will encourage US companies to produce more domestically. But industries, including the tech sector, are dependent on steel and aluminum for building and machinery. The tech sector uses steel and aluminum for server racks, data center infrastructure, electronic components housing, and more.Miller said its not yet clear now the aluminum and steel tariffs will be applied along with the tariffs on all Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese goods. Will it be on top of those tariffs? Theres no clarity there yet, he says.How IT Leaders Should RespondAn IBM report spending outside of traditional IT operations could surge 52% this year as enterprise ramps up AI-driven transformation. Those costs could increase substantially as new tariffs are factored in.MSUs Miller says companies that were on the fence about capital outlays should act now. If youre on the fence about bringing something in now, versus a couple of months, I would get it now, he says, adding Trump may respond to retaliation efforts with even more tariffs. I wouldnt be surprised if were not looking at 40%-50% before all is said and done at the rate were going.Related:Whatever the case, the cost of the tariff action will likely be felt for years, Miller says. There will be lasting impact from this, he says. So, you need to have those conversations with customers, and say, Hey, weve got to pass some percentage of this cost increase on because we have to stay profitable. Its about being transparent about what tariffs are doing to cost structures.Read more about:RegulationSupply ChainAbout the AuthorShane SniderSenior Writer, InformationWeekShane Snider is a veteran journalist with more than 20 years of industry experience.

I was watching a trailer for an upcoming film recently Idont need to name the movie specifically, but heres a hint: Its title rhymes with TheSchmelectric State and I was struck by how absolutely dire it made its movie look.That is rare. Most trailers look at leasta little intriguing. This, after all, is their job. Alla bad movie needs are90 seconds of funny, romantic, or thrilling moments to fill out a solid trailer. I wouldnt say making a goodcommercialfor a bad movie is necessarilyeasy, but it can be done. (See this list for proof of that.)But what about the opposite? Are therebadtrailers for masterpieces? The answer is: While they are more rare than good trailers for masterpieces, or even good trailers for cinematic disasters, they do happen. Itssort of like cooking. You can have the best raw ingredients in the world, but if you dont prepare them in the right way, the final dish can turn into a steaming bowl of crap.Case in point: The 20 bad trailers. Some bungle their pitch; others are downright mendacious in their attempts to obscure their films true nature from the ticket-buying public. A few are just plain boring!You can seethem all for yourself below. I truly hope that if I some day write asequel to this list of bad trailers for good movies, Iget to includeTheSchmelectric Stateon it.Star Wars (1975)READ MORE: The 15 Best Fake Trailers From Real MoviesFor such a genre and era-defining blockbuster, the first teaser forStar Wars sure is crummy. Theediting is clunky and the voiceover is downright bizarre. At one point the narrator describesStar Warsas the story of a boy, a girl, and a universe, which I guess is true?He also announcessomewhere in space, this may all be happening right now. Wait,right now? What happened to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away? I guess that part came late in the edit, huh?Star Trek Beyond (2016)Not to be outdone, some ofStar Treks trailers through the years have been pretty rough too. I cant think of a worse one than the trailer forStar Trek Beyond. The movie itself may bethe most thoughtful and thematically coherentTrek featurethat doesnt feature the Shatner/Nimoy crew. You would never know that from the trailer though, whichsells it as a pure action movie (and reliesway too heavily on Beastie Boys Sabotage). Theres barely any mention of the films villain, and zero explanation of the movies larger story. Thetitle treatment with BEYOND front and center first, followed by STAR TREK slowly appearing above it really foregrounds the way the marketers wanted to frame this movie.Cast Away (2000)Theres no graver sin for a trailer in my book than giving away a movies ending. In the case ofRobert ZemeckisCast Away, the trailer leaves zero doubt about what happens to Tom Hanks character and whether or not he escapes his isolation on adeserted island. Zemeckissupported the spoiler-laden trailer, stating publicly thathe believed based on his research that people really want to know exactly every thing that they are going to see before they go see the movie. People might; I sure dont.What Lies Beneath (2000)Robert Zemeckis strikes again! WhileWhat Lies Beneath doesnt give away quite as many plot details asCast Awaydid around the same time, it reveals several of the films big twists, including the truth nature of Harrison Fords character.Counter to Zemeckis argument, a lot ofWhat Lies Beneath is a lot less suspenseful after you see this trailer, because you have apretty good idea whats going to happen and why. Which, in a mystery, kind of defeats the purpose! (The generic erotic thriller music does this one no favors as well.)Warrior (2011)Similarly, the trailer forWarrior, about the intertwined destinies of a pair of MMA fighter brothers played by Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, ticks off every major plot point and detail of the two mens lives and relationship except the outcome of the final fight between them. Its admittedly a fine line to walk; how do you tell people enough about a movieto make them want to see it, without telling themtoomuch and making them feeling theyve seen itall without paying? For me,Warrior crosses that line.The Cabin in the Woods (2011)Of course, you can also make a bad trailer by withholdingtoomuch information.The Cabin in the Woodsteaser makes the film look like a stock slasher about a group of teenagers hunted through the wilderness by a supernatural evil. The trailer never begins to acknowledge the truth that the film is a deconstruction of exactly that sort ofclich, and of horror audiences desire to see such rituals reenacted over and over. True, you wouldnt want aCabin in the Woods trailer that revealed too much. But in this case the pendulum swung too far in the other direction.Drive (2011)Another classic movie trailer mistake: Selling a film not for what it actually is but what you think a paying customermight want to see. The trailer for Nicolas Winding RefnsDrive is a notorious example. It presented the movie not as a moody, atmospheric character study but as a more straightforward actionthriller loaded with stunts and car chases. In fact, the trailer was sounrepresentative ofthe movie, that a Michigan womansued the films distributor, claiming she was duped into seeing it by inaccurate marketing.Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)No one sued Disney over the firstPirates of the Caribbeantrailer, but it was quite similar toDrivein the sense that it only presented one side of the film to potential customers. In this case, it emphasized the action, and portrayedThe Curse of the Black Pearlas a straight-forward high-seas adventure. It only briefly nods at the movies major supernatural elements, and barely hints at its sense of humor at all, withJohnny Depps Captain Jack Sparrow treated as a quippy badass instead of a bumbling chaos agent. You could argue that the trailer was effective Pirates was a massive financial hit but you cant say it gave a complete picture of what audiences would get when they bought a ticket.Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)Movie trailer editors clearly think people love water-based adventure, anddontlove anything else in movies set on the open ocean.If you saw theMaster and Commanderadandnever watched the movie itself, you would assume its this tightly focused chase film. The other half (or more) of the filmEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)Marketing execs just dont have a lot of faith in audiences, huh?Eternal Sunshine of the SpotlessMind is funny in a melancholic way at times, butI wouldnt really describe it as a comedy. But its trailer sure would! It presentsEternal Sunshine as if it were yet another wacky Jim Carrey vehicle, with upbeat music, fast editing, and a heavy emphasis on moments where the cast smiles and dances. This onereallymisses the tone ofits film.Galaxy Quest (1999)The reason that most people loveGalaxy Quest its razor-sharpsatire ofStar Trek and especicallyStar Trekfandom is barelyvisible in the films trailer.If you knowTrek you might pick up on the fact that the movie isriffing on that same concept. But the trailer,perhaps in an attemptto appeal to asbig an audience as possible (including non-Trekfans), sells it as a much broader sci-fi comedy, with the Hollywood component kept in the background as much as possible. This looks like a bad movie, whichGalaxy Quest most certainly is not.Children of Men (2006)Children of Men is one of my favorite movies of the 2000s. And I am pretty sure if I saw this trailer without context, I probably would have avoided the film entirely. It doesnt capture any of the technical skill on display and,possibly to avoid making people think the movie is a big bummer (which it kind of is!) the trailer has a far more hopeful and exciting vibe than the film, thanks to weirdly uplifting background music and an emphasis on this miracle that Clive Owens character must fight to protect.In Bruges (2008)Im a broken record here. You dont want potentialticket buyers to think your movie isdark and bleak (which,in most cases on this list, it is) so youamplify just the upbeat or funny moments and sell the thing as a more conventionalcomedy. Thats arguably good marketing, but to me thats not a good trailer (or, at the very least, its not an accurate one).Adventureland (2009)After writing variations of the same blurb over and over on this list, I think I have finally found the best way to describe the strategy these trailers deploy: They suggest their subjects are the dumbest possible versions of whatever concept theyre peddling ina sometimes misguided (sometimes sadly correct) belief that the dumbest possible version of an idea is the one that amass audience wants to see. If you watch this trailer forAdventureland, and then compare it to the movie, youll see what I mean.The Mexican (2001)Here is anothertrailer that looks like a boring, convention Hollywood rom-com. And why not? Whenyour movie starsBrad Pitt and Julia Roberts, two of the most beautiful people alive, thats an appealing hook for an audience. In truth, Pitt and Roberts spend most of The Mexican, something this trailer takes great pains to disguise, anda surprising amount of thestory is about a lonely, thoughtful hitman played by James Gandolfini, in perhaps his best film performance.The Fountain (2006)To be fair, I have no idea what a good trailer for Darren Aronofskys ambitious, ponderous sci-fi filmThe Fountainwould look like. But this would not be it.Aronofskytells three stories in three time periods (with shared casts, including Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz) about life and death. The precise nature of the connection between them is never made entirely clear; the trailer makes it seem like they might all be happening to the same guy who is somehow an immortal, almost like hes a Highlander who got caught in an arthouse film.Strange Days (1995)TheStrange Days trailer starts with Ralph Fiennes looking directly into the camera and asking Have you ever jacked in? Have you ever wiretripped? Uh, no. Wait, maybe? What do those words mean? Itsan off-putting first note; its meant to immediately establish the films futuristic trappings, but it mostly just makes you feel like youve walked into the theater in the middle of the movie. I likeStrange Days a lot, but it is not hard to see why the film was a flop after you watch this trailer.Bad Santa (2003)This is another unenviable task for a trailer cutter.Bad Santas dialogue is roughly 40 percent profanity; almost every other word out of Billy Bob Thorntons mouth is eitheran expletive or sexual slang. Its astoundingsomeone couldpiece together a two-minute trailer without any vulgarity and if youlisten closely, youll hear where theyve had to snip outa few four-letter words here or there. The bigger problem is, like so many other trailers on this list, theyve also removedmost of the darker material, leaving you with the impression thatBad Santa is a wacky comedy about an incorrigible but lovable oaf. The reality is quite a bit grimmer and grimier than that.How to Train Your Dragon (2010)The notion of pitching the simplest and most accessible version of yourself in a trailer isespecially true of ads for kids movies, whose target audience is admittedly not much for nuance or subtlety. This trailer for How to Train Your Dragon isnt necessarily terrible, and it at least captures the look of the films animation. Still, it barely scratches the surface of Dragonsheart or emotional story, emphasizing instead the action and goofy physical comedy for children. While the franchise is still going more than 15 years later, theres no question the film is a far better version of How to Train Your Dragon than the one on offer here.Frozen (2013)Is Elsa the hero or the villain ofFrozen? Based on this trailer, its hard to tell. Certainly it makes Anna look like much more of the central figure in the story, instead of half of a two-hander about a pair of deeply connected siblings. The trailer also mostly features a generic orchestral score instead of the famous songs from the soundtrack. (Maybe they werent finished at this point in the post-production process.) Either way,I wouldnever have predictedFrozen would become one of Disneys biggest hits in history based on this trailer. This makes it look like a flop waiting to happen.Get our free mobile appThe Best Fake Movie Trailers From Actual FilmsWe love when real movies feature phony trailers for nonexistent movies.

html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"Chinese architect Liu Jiakun has been named as the recipient of the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the prestigious award that is regarded internationally as architectures highest honor.The jury praised the Chengdu-based architect for "imagining and constructing new worlds, free from any aesthetic or stylistic constraint" and "evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently."Liu is the founder of Jiakun Architects, which was founded in 1999, and the 54th Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. He lives and works in Chengdu, China, where he was born."Architecture should abstract, distill and make visible the inherent qualities of local people""Architecture should reveal somethingit should abstract, distill and make visible the inherent qualities of local people," said Liu Jiakun, the 2025 Laureate of the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize"It has the power to shape human behavior and create atmospheres, offering a sense of serenity and poetry, evoking compassion and mercy, and cultivating a sense of shared community, expressed Liu.Over the course of his four-decade career, Liu has completed over thirty projects in China, including civic areas, commercial buildings, academic and cultural institutions, and urban planning.Other noteworthy works are the Chengdu High-Tech Zone Tianfu Software Park Communication Center in Chengdu, China (2010), Songyang Culture Neighborhood in Lishui, China (2020), Lodging Center of China International Practice Exhibition of Architecture in Nanjing, China (2012), Museum of Clocks, Jianchuan Museum Cluster, Chengdu, China (2007), and Design Department on new campus, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, China (2006).West Village, Chengdu, Peoples Republic of China, 2015. Image courtesy of Qian Shen Photography"He evaluates the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently"According to the Pritzker Architecture Prize announcement, Liu provides inspiring architecture that honors the lives of common people by fusing seemingly contradictory ideas, such as utopia versus everyday life, history versus modernity, and collectivism versus individuality. By balancing cultural, historical, emotional, and social aspects, he maintains the transcendent force of the built environment and uses architecture to create community, evoke compassion, and uplift the human spirit."Through an outstanding body of work of deep coherence and constant quality, Liu Jiakun imagines and constructs new worlds, free from any aesthetic or stylistic constraint. Instead of a style, he has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently," stated the 2025 Jury Citation, in part."That is to say, Liu Jiakun takes present realities and handles them to the point of offering sometimes a whole new scenario of daily life.""Beyond knowledge and techniques, common sense and wisdom are the most powerful tools he adds to the designers toolbox, added in the 2025 Jury Citation.Liu establishes a beneficial relationship between open space and density by constructing public spaces in densely populated cities where the luxury of space is mostly lacking. He innovates the function of public spaces to fulfill the range of requirements for a varied society by combining multiple typologies into a single project. In contrast to the grid of recognizable mid- and high-rise structures, West Village in Chengdu, China, 2015 is a five-story project that covers one entire block.An alternative approach to optimizing space is shown by the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute Department of Sculpture in Chongqing, China, 2004, where top floors expand outward to increase the square footage of a limited footprint."Cities tend to segregate functions, but Liu Jiakun takes the opposite approach and sustains a delicate balance to integrate all dimensions of the urban life," commented Alejandro Aravena, Chair of the Jury and 2016 Pritzker Prize Laureate."He continues, In a world that tends to create endless dull peripheries, he has found a way to build places that are a building, infrastructure, landscape and public space at the same time. His work may offer impactful clues on how to confront the challenges of urbanization, in an era of rapidly growing cities," Aravena added.Luyeyuan Stone Sculpture Art Museum, Chengdu, Peoples Republic of China, 2002. Image courtesy of Bi KejianThrough contemporary reinterpretations of traditional Chinese architecture, Liu chronicles time and provides people with a sense of familiarity while exhibiting a respect for culture, history, and nature throughout his works.The window walls of the Lancui Pavilion of Egret Gulf Wetland (Chengdu, China, 2013) and the flat eaves of the Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick (Suzhou, China, 2016) both reinterpret the shape of pavilions that date back many millennia. The Novartis (Shanghai) Block-C6's tiered balconies (Shanghai, China, 2014) resemble towers that symbolize many dynasties.Modeled after a traditional Chinese garden, the Luyeyuan Stone Sculpture Art Museum (Chengdu, China, 2002) features Buddhist sculptures and relics, balancing old stones and water to mirror the surrounding natural environment. Buildings like The Renovation of Tianbao Cave District of Erlang Town (Luzhou, China, 2021), which is tucked away in the verdant cliffside landscape of Tianbao Mountain, both emerge and dissolve within their surroundings because they are based on the idea that humans and nature have a reciprocal relationship.Native bamboo groves are planted in new locations, floors and ceilings are created with apertures to allow existing trees to continue, and bricks are cemented upended to allow grasses to thrive through the core holes. All of his works incorporate both local and wild flora.The Renovation of Tianbao Cave District of Erlang Town, Luzhou, Peoples Republic of China, 2021. Image courtesy of Arch-Exist "His honest architecture presents the sincerity of textural materials"The announcement stated that his honest architecture showcases the sincerity of textured materials and processes, showcasing flaws that hold up throughout time rather than degrade. He dislikes manufactured goods, favoring traditional crafts made for and by the community, and frequently using locally sourced raw materials that support the environment and economy.Instead of being polished, the Department of Sculpture building displays the wavy features of genuine Chongqing sand plastering artistry. By repurposing debris from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and fortifying it with regional wheat fiber and cement, he revitalizes materialsand spiritsto create fortified bricks that are more durable and cost-effective than the original. The Novartis building, the Shuijingfang Museum (Chengdu, China, 2013), and West Village, his greatest piece, are all filled with "Rebirth Bricks." The disaster also produced his smallest piece to date, Hu Huishan Memorial (Chengdu, China, 2009), which is a permanent cement relief tent that was displayed for the collective memory of a grieving nation as well as for a 15-year-old girl in the wake of the damage."Liu Jiakun uplifts through the process and purpose of architecture""Liu Jiakun uplifts through the process and purpose of architecture, fostering emotional connections that unite communities," remarked Tom Pritzker, Chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the award."There is a wisdom in his architecture, philosophically looking beyond the surface to reveal that history, materials and nature are symbiotic," Pritzker added.Read the full Jury Citation for the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Laureate Liu Jiakun:Jury citationThe Pritzker Architecture Prize is conferred in acknowledgment of those qualities of talent, vision, and commitment, which have persistently produced significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.In a global context where architecture is struggling to find adequate responses to fast evolving social and environmental challenges, Liu Jiakun has provided convincing answers that also celebrate the everyday lives of people as well as their communal and spiritual identities.Through an outstanding body of work of deep coherence and constant quality, Liu Jiakun imagines and constructs new worlds, free from any aesthetic or stylistic constraint. Instead of a style, he has developed a strategy that never relies on a recurring method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently. That is to say, Liu Jiakun takes present realities and handles them to the point of offering a whole new scenario of daily life. Beyond knowledge and technique, he adds common sense and wisdom to the designers toolbox.The built environment is often being pulled in opposite directions. While density appears to be a more sustainable solution for people to live together, the scarcity of space usually implies a poor quality of life. Liu Jiakun rethinks the fundamentals of density through cohabitation, crafting an intelligent solution that balances the opposite forces at play. Through transformative projects like the West Village in Chengdu, he reshapes the paradigm of public spaces and of community life. He invents new independent, shared ways of living together in which density does not represent the opposite of an open system. He also enables adaptation, expansion and replicability. Liu Jiakun enhances and welcomes the life that inhabitants bring to his projects, creating an architecture activated by its publics.In Liu Jiakuns work, identity is as much about the individual as it is about the collective sense of belonging to a place. He revisits the Chinese tradition as a springboard for innovation devoid of nostalgia or ambiguity. For him, identity refers to a countrys history, the traces of its cities and the relics of its communities. At the same time, he integrates the local and global dimensions with unprecedented results. In his subtle, memorable museums, Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick or the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu, he creates new architecture that is at once a historical record, a piece of infrastructure, a landscape, and a remarkable public space. In the Hu Huishan Memorial in Chengdu, he understands that identity is a matter of both collective and personal memory, brilliantly elevating the individual perspective to a foundational element of place-making in order to revive a communal dimension.Liu Jiakun also seeks a level of technology that is neither high nor low but rather the appropriate one based on local wisdom as well as materials and craftsmanship available. Since his early projects, he has broken the current architectural language to introduce the qualities of simplicity, deriving from the resources at disposal. His sincerity in the use of materials lets them speak for what they are, as their integrity does not require mediation or maintenance. It also enables them to age without fear of deterioration because the collective memory is held within them.To such available cultural and social resources, Liu Jiakun adds nature creating new landscapes within the landscape. From the West Village to the Renovation of Tianbao Cave District of Erlang Town in Luzhou, to the Luyeyuan Stone Sculpture Art Museum in Chengdu, the built and natural environments co-exist in a reciprocal relation and in line with the most ancient Chinese philosophy and tradition.For embracing rather than resisting the dystopia/utopia dualism and showing us how architecture can mediate between reality and idealism, for elevating local solutions into universal visions, and for developing a language that describes a socially and environmentally just world, Liu Jiakun is named the 2025 Pritzker Prize Laureate.This spring, Liu Jiakun will be celebrated in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and this fall, a virtual ceremony film will be released worldwide. The public is welcome to attend the 2025 Laureate Lecture and Panel Discussion in person or virtually in May.Last year, Japanese architect and social advocate Riken Yamamoto has been named as the recipient of the 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize.The top image in the article: Liu Jiakun, photo courtesy of The Hyatt Foundation/The Pritzker Architecture Prize.> via Pritzker Architecture Prize

Around 600 people took part in a march through Peckham on Saturday (1 March) against the latest planning application for the 1980s Aylesham Centre. The scheme would flatten the centre, replacing it with a Morrisons supermarket and 877 homes designed by a team headed by 2017 Stirling Prize winner dRMM.In December, Berkeley reduced the number of affordable and social homes from 270 to just 77 a decrease from 37 per cent to 12 per cent of the total. Southwark Council, the local planning authority, described the move at the time as disappointing.Organisers of this weekend's march said the offer of 77 social and affordable homes was a 'disgrace to Peckham' and prioritised 'profit over people'. Campaigners also called out the scale of the scheme, which could reach 20 storeysacross 13 new buildings.AdvertisementSpeaking to protesters, Tanya Murat, of the Southwark Defend Council Housing campaign group, said: [Just] 12 per cent is an insult to the people of Peckham [and] local people will no longer accept the rule of developers.She continued: We will fight for development that respects the heritage of our areas, that respects our diverse communities, that does not bend the knee to the rule of development capital and investors whove got no interest whatsoever in the people of this area and in the people of Southwark'.Siobahn McCarthy, from the Aylesham Community Action campaign, added: Its hard to imagine tall towers in the centre of Peckham being built and all that for just 77 so-called affordable housing. Imagine the huge impact that's going to have. I think we can all agree thats absolutely disgusting.Her comments were echoed by local architect Benedict O'Looney, of Benedict O'Looney Architects, who told the AJ: After a decades community campaigning for a conservation area celebrating and preserving the rich historic townscape of Peckhams town centre, the new Aylesham proposals seem out of scale and out of character with Peckhams historic village core.A, tall high-density, scheme may be appropriate for the edges of Londons many historic village centres, but not sitting right on top of one.Advertisement'We love our town centre and welcome the development of the underused Aylesham site. It is a big site and could accommodate perhaps 500 flats. [But] the overly dense 870 flats proposed here seems wrong and unkind to the Peckham community and environment. Source:Gino SpocchiaDemonstrators against Berkeley's Aylesham Centre scheme (1 March 2025)Sarah Borowiecka, founder of Peckham-based architecture practice studio on the rye, said in her formal objection to the application, that the 'the proposed development of the Aylesham site [is] a muddle of too big buildings carelessly deployed'.She wrote: 'There is a lack of a sense of purpose, with no strong central hub or internal organisation to inform their positioning and without a strong link to the rest of the commercial centre of Peckham.'Borowiecka continued: 'The Rye Lane elevation of the proposals as drawn would dominate the existing buildings including the old Jones and Higgins Department Store the elevation is two stories too tall and does not fit with the rhythm or size of the existing buildings. Much effort has gone into the restoration of historic houses and shops in this area in accordance with their original designs and this sense of place should be maintained by the new development.'Borowiecka added that it is 'also disappointing that the percentage of affordable housing in the scheme has been reduced from 35 per cent to 12 per cent.'The dRMM scheme is smaller in scale to Sheppard Robsons designs for 1,050 homes which proved hugely controversial to local residents and Southwark Council prompting the local authority to criticise the plans in late 2022.The practice left the project in May 2023.When dRMM was appointed to the Aylesham scheme, a Berkeley spokesperson told the AJ that its regeneration plans would have a hugely positive impact in Peckham; particularly the hundreds of affordable homes that would transform the lives of local families on the housing waiting list.dRMMs scheme includes a 4,400m Morrisons supermarket, 10,900m of commercial space and 3,30om of new public realm designed by landscape architect Gillespies as well as the new homes. Some of the design elements have been worked on by local practices Feix&Merlin, Nimtim, Dowen Farmer and Jas Bhalla Works, including shops facing Rye Lane.Separately, a petition against the Aylesham Centre plans has so far attracted more than 5,150 signatures, while over 2,260 comments opposing the development have been received by Southwark Council, which is expected to rule on the proposal in June.The Sheppard Robson scheme received more than 7,200 online signatures and over 3,000 comments. Berkeley then returned to the drawing board, before appointing dRMM to help shape the project so it resonated with the community it serves.Sheppard Robsons designs had themselves replaced previous AHMM proposals for the sites former owner, BlackRock, which were never submitted. The plot was sold to Berkeley in the wake of local opposition during an early consultation stage.Work on phase one of the dRMM-led scheme is expected to begin in late 2025, with completion between 2027 and 2029. The second phase is expected to start construction in 2030 when the Aylesham Centre will close and complete in 2034.Berkeley declined to comment.dRMM, Dowen Farmer Feix&Merlin, Nimtim, and Jas Bhalla Works have been contacted for comment.
