A Strong Gust of Wind Disrupts the Mundane in ‘Jour de Vent’
https://player.vimeo.com/video/1169458024?dnt=1
“Wind carries away destinies,” reads the brief synopsis for a short film titled “Jour de Vent,” or “Windy Day.” The sweeping animation was created in 2024 by a team of six graduates—Martin Chailloux, Ai Kim Crespin, Élise Golfouse, Chloé Lab, Hugo Taillez, Camille Truding—from École des Nouvelle Images school in Avignon, France.
A cast of characters—including a businessman, a picnicking family, a young couple, a cyclist, an old man and his dog, and a guitarist—spend a seemingly average day at the park. When a powerful gust of wind blows everyone’s day out of proportion, themes of change, acceptance, and connection emerge.

Study links data centres to heat island effects worldwide
A group of scientists has claimed a pronounced heat island phenomenon correlated with the development of data centres in an early study, speculating on the heat's "remarkable influence on communities and regional welfare".
The non-peer-reviewed paper, published by a group of nine researchers affiliated with institutions such as the University of Cambridge and Nanyang Technological University, presented its findings based on 20 years of remote land-surface sensor temperature data. It was published on the public-domain research site Arxiv.
340 million could be impacted
Called the Data Heat Island Effect, the study showed that temperatures are rising an average of 3.6 degrees fahrenheit...

Abi Castillo’s Ceramic Beings Contrast Delicacy With the Natural World
Galicia, Spain-based artist Abi Castillo continues to create iterative self-portraits through her evolving ensemble of ceramic personas. Her delicate yet emotive figures are an invitation to consider the inner self, transformation, and the beauty of the natural world.
Femininity, nature, and symbolism play a central role within Castillo’s sculptures, contrasting with the notion of concealment. “This ambivalence between mysticism and drama, between monstrosity and beauty, is all very present,” she explains in an artist statement.
Though each ceramic character is distinct, her body of work carries overarching formal motifs including colorful hairstyles and wide eyes with light blue irises. Organic elements—such as...
Omar Gandhi Architects cascades cedar lake house down Canadian hillside
Toronto-based studio Omar Gandhi Architects has completed a lakefront house out of a series of rotated, cedar-clad volumes that respond directly to the orientation of the site and its trees.
Known as Cedar's Kin, the 465-square-metre (5,000-square-foot) programme is spread over a steep, wooded slope.
A series of rotated blocks make up Cedar's Kin in CanadaOmar Gandhi Architects imagined the project as a descent through the landscape from the top of the hill in the forest canopy to the shoreline, letting it be shaped by its environment and responding to light shifting through the forest.
"The architecture is organized as a sequence...

Bicycle Design Student Work: Masaichi Yamada's Mini-Velo
The Tokyo College of Cycle Design that we looked at earlier, holds an annual award competition. The 2025 Grand Prize winner was student Masaichi Yamada, who designed and welded this crazy-looking ride together:
This is a "minivelo road bike"—a compact road bicycle—characterized by a tubular steel space-frame structure in which slender chromoly tubes are assembled into a three-dimensional form, creating an exterior silhouette that shifts depending on the viewing angle.The frame layout is designed to ensure the necessary strength and rigidity required for actual riding and performance, rather than merely serving as a decorative art object.
