GRU Space announces designs for "the first hotel on the Moon"
San Francisco start-up GRU Space has released plans for a hotel on the moon clad in lunar regolith bricks that it claims will be "the first ever permanent off-Earth structure built in history" if completed.
The GRU lunar hotel concept would be established in phases, according to Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU Space) with the company first implementing a program for "high‐end lunar tourism" and then eventually building a permanent hotel on the moon.
GRU Space has released plans for a lunar hotel"We live during an inflexion point where we can actually become interplanetary before we die," said GRU Space founder Skyler...
In ‘Funeral for a Tree,’ Steve Parker Etches Bird Song into Playable Oak Records
https://player.vimeo.com/video/1154771574?dnt=1
When a 65-year-old tree succumbed to a fungus known as oak wilt, Steve Parker wanted to pay tribute. The wooded habitat had previously loomed above Parker’s front yard and provided refuge to migratory birds. Rather than turn its limbs and trunk into mulch, though, Parker did as he often does with a material that’s no longer primed for its original purpose: he created a sound sculpture.
Recently on view at Ivester Contemporary in Austin, “Funeral for a Tree” is a sprawling and poetic ode to the oak. Parker cut slices from the trunk that he then carved like vinyl, encoding bird...
Joris & Ringis
In 2025, I had the pleasure of illustrating the fairy-tale book Joris and Ringis, written by debut children's author Gintaras Lazdynas, designed by R?ta Ivaškevi?i?t?, published by Žalias Kalnas, and funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
Beyond the edge of time, in an old and distant town, unfolds a world woven from magic and unseen powers. Here, sorcerers murmur ancient spells, herbalists guard the secrets of plants, and healers mend not only bodies, but souls. In this town lived two brothers ? Joris and Ringis ? alike as two drops of water, yet different as light and shadow. One...
Michelangelo Made His First Masterpiece When He Was 12 Years Old
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=YtUWFNPoxJM
Before he was a titan of Renaissance art history, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) was a 12-year-old, although his childhood looked quite a bit different from what we associate with that age today. Already deeply invested in drawing and painting, he studied others’ work, such as an engraving titled “Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons,” created by 15th-century German artist Martin Schongauer. Unlike most tweens, though, when he set out to recreate the scene in tempera paint on a wood panel, he worked with a particular style that strongly hinted at the young boy’s preternatural talent.
This is the very first known painting by...

Forma lifts Hudson Valley cedar-clad house on angled legs
US architecture studio Forma has completed a cedar-clad, cube-like house that changes appearance based on angle and lighting on a gently sloping hill in the Hudson Valley.
The 1,474-square-foot (137-square-metre) residence was designed by Forma principals Miroslava Brooks and Daniel Markiewicz, who wanted to build a country weekend house for their own use.
Forma has created a weekend country houseThe three-bedroom, three-bath home sits on a compact 700-square-foot (65-square-metre) space within a nine-acre wooded property in Hillsdale, New York.
It was designed to stick out from the landscape as "art" while having minimal environmental impact.
It was clad in stained cedar, shifted laid at...Georges Maillols, Pt. I
A portrait about the work of French architect Georges Maillols, who significantly shaped the cityscape of Rennes for over four decades after the WWII. He designed more than 140 buildings in the city, comprising over 10,000 apartments.
Iconic structures such as the "Tours Les Horizons", "Les Hautes Ourmes", and "Le Belvedere" exemplify his modernist vision of the "Les Trente Glorieuses" (The Thirty Glorious (Years)).
The images showcase Maillols' characteristic use of exposed concrete, biomorphic forms, and innovative elements such as roof terraces and ribbon windows.
The series was taken in August 2025. All images © Sebastian Weiss ? le-blanc.com ? instagram.com/le_blanc ?...
A Short Documentary Celebrates the Community that Rallied Around ‘Rick on the Roof’
https://player.vimeo.com/video/1066539352?dnt=1
Two decades ago, a man named Rick Canty lost his mother and was shortly thereafter evicted from their home in Barry, Wales, due to bankruptcy charges he vehemently claimed were fraudulent. In protest against being forced to move, he climbed on top of the house and settled into a new routine on the rooftop, not just for a few days or weeks but for more than two years. Practically overnight, he became a local legend, and he inspired a unique sense of neighborly support that people still talk about in Barry.
Welsh filmmaker Isaac Atkin-Mayne, who grew up in Barry and...

Remedial Design: A Bookshelf Adapter for Manga Lovers
This object is so strange and specific, I thought for sure it came out of Japan. But in fact, this MG Raiser is from German company Manga Guardian.
It's a sort of remedial device aimed at manga (Japanese comics) lovers. The deal is that most manga volumes are about 13cm wide. But the most common bookshelves, like the Ikea Billy series, have shelves that are more than twice that depth. The MG Raiser, then, allows you to utilize the full depth of your shelves (and store more manga) while still being able to see all of...
