Adjaye Associates-designed Princeton University Art Museum opens

The concrete-clad Princeton University Art Museum has opened in New Jersey, USA, the first major project designed by British-Ghanaian architect David Adjaye to open since he was accused of sexual misconduct.

The Princeton University Art Museum (PUAM) is a major expansion of the art museum on the Princeton University campus in New Jersey, which includes the re-cladding of the existing building to match the precast serrated concrete exteriors of the new building.

It features nine bunker-like pavilions with deep cantilevers and corners that have been shaved off to reveal the...

Core77 Weekly Roundup (10-27-25 to 10-31-25)

Here's what we looked at this week:

Cosmic stool by Mati Sipiora

Dezeen Showroom: Polish designer Mati Sipiora has created playful tension between form and material in this stool, which looks like it is made from rows of miniature metal pillows.

Part of Sipiora's Futuroom collection, the Cosmic stool juxtaposes the cold hardness of metal and the inviting softness of fabric cushions in its sculptural form.

The form creates "an unexpected dialogue" between material and sensation said Mati Sipiora's eponymous studio, which self-produces his designs from a family-run workshop in Poland.

The stool has a futuristic look – which inspired the wider collection's name, Futuroom – that is...

Lexus' Bizarre One-Person Autonomous Luxury Taxi Concept

Toyota is a gigantic company that serves all markets. As a reminder of that, this three-wheeled LS Micro concept by Toyota's Lexus arm is the polar opposite, in terms of both style and function, of their IMV Origin vehicle.

The LS Micro was just unveiled at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, so at press time there was no explanatory press materials. The brief description of the concept is that it provides "autonomous chaffeur capability" to the luxury market, and that "its role is to deliver unparalleled luxury and presence, specifically handling the last mile of travel in...

Toyota's Brilliant Plan to Sell Unfinished Cars

Toyota revealed something crazy-sounding at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show. (The event is currently underway, so no official press pack loaded with images has yet been released—images are sparing.) Revealed at an on-stage event, this is their IMV Origin. And yes, this is what it would look like in production:

The plan is to make the vehicle's parts at a Toyota factory, and ship it in pieces, initially to the African market; "It is not yet assembled into a drivable car," Toyota President Koji Sato explains. "It is the local people who assemble and complete this car."

Why?...
