Rendered in Handmade Pigments, Rupy C. Tut’s Warriors March Toward Belonging

“Warriorhood is an act of living an awakened life,” says Rupy C. Tut, referencing the continual battles that emerge from being a person in the world. Tut has long invoked her family’s history of migration and Punjabi heritage to consider kinship, a theme that has more recently evolved into a recurring warrior character. “The privilege of belonging and being seen as a part of a place, without needing explanations, is not available to my characters, who are finding ways to navigate and battle that out-of-place-ness,” she adds.

Snøhetta and Hariri Pontarini Architects design revamped Ontario Science Centre

A scalloped design by Snøhetta and Canadian studio Hariri Pontarini Architects has been selected for the Ontario Science Centre on the Toronto waterfront as part of a wider, years-long redevelopment of the area.

Clients Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming selected the winning design for the 400,000-square-foot (37,161 square-metre) building in late February.

Renderings show a building made of stacked, scalloped volumes clad in a white, shimmering tile. Large wedge-shaped windows are dispersed around the facade.

A pedestrian bridge is also shown...

Dezeen Debate features "kitsch" shuttlecock-shaped badminton centre

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features the Shuttle badminton academy in India. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

Architecture studio Archohm completed the Shuttle badminton academy in Bhubaneswar, India, which was designed to resemble a shuttlecock.

Readers were split over the project. One stated, "I don't mind a bit of kitsch, sometimes it's things like these that make travelling worthwhile", while another, who was less keen, argued that "a perfectly orthogonal building would have sufficed just as much".

Other stories in this week's newsletter included renderings of the Two World Trade...

Настройка количества товаров с мусоркой

Иногда встречается такой дизайн элемента для настройки количества товаров в корзине, где вместо минуса рисуют мусорку — мол, товар уже удалится, а не просто уменьшится количество:

Сначала это кажется логичным, ведь уменьшение количества и удаление — разные вещи, и выглядеть должны по-разному. Возможно, кто-то из дизайнеров в этом видит возможность дополнительно предупредить об удалении. Наверное, кому-то просто кажется остроумной такая динамичность.

Но вообще-то хорошо бы, чтобы при уменьшении количества до нуля, товар не удалялся сразу: у пользователя должно быть право на ошибку и возможность вернуть товар обратно. Если же удаление товара неотменяемое, то превращение минуса в мусорку не поможет предотвратить ошибку; тогда надо дисейблить минус, а кнопку удаления ставить отдельно. Что касается остроумности, то это только в голове дизайнера мусорка — частный случай минуса для одного значения, но для пользователя...

Orionteatern

Orionteatern is a cultural institution with an impressive history of bold, unconventional performing arts experiences. However, it lacked a clear visual identity and turned to us for a solution that would reflect the strength of its own content. The wordmark has historically appeared in various versions of Futura. Inspired by this visual heritage, the core of the new identity is a typographic system that is simple, yet striking and flexible. Using a Futura-inspired typeface and a strong, minimal design concept ? where the word "Orion" extends leftward ? we created a scalable identity that delivers instant recognition across signage, posters, and...
