Was scrolling through my files and I forgot that I had this made. Tried replicating Yoichi Kotabe's colouring style for this Mario AU idea I had. This was an idea I had in my tiny brain and then I forgot about it. Also merry Christmas.

I like to call this AU "Super Katie bros" in honour of my girl Katie and her sister. She's canonically a bit of a Mario fan.

Song Review: Old Crow Medicine Show - “Ain’t it Strange”

Of course Old Crow Medicine Show’s cover of Drivin N Cryin’s “Ain’t it Strange” sounds like a bluegrass version of Widespread Panic’s “Ain’t Life Grand.”

For Panic ripped off Drivin and songwriter Kevin Kinney’s 1989 number for the title track to its 1994 LP.

So there’s that.

But OCMS’ version pales against both DNC’s original and WSP’s unoriginal, making for a sincere tribute - Ketch Secor loves Kinney, whom he says belongs to a “long and esteemed line of songwriters from the South who let their roots show” - but not much more.

Grade card: Old Crow Medicine Show - “Ain’t it Strange” - C

Nikken Sekkei Bridges Dubai's New Landmark With The World's Longest Cantilever

The recently constructed One Za’abeel mixed-used complex in the United Arab Emirates, crafted by Japanese design firm NIKKEN SEKKEI, features the world’s longest cantilever, spanning 66 meters above the city. The development consists of two elegant skyscrapers (the Tower and The Residences) connected by an enclosed horizontal bridge called The Link, enhancing the city’s architectural landscape. Situated at the gateway to Dubai’s central financial district, the project serves as a landmark for travelers arriving from Dubai International Airport and symbolizes ambition, innovation, and connectivity. Its prime location facilitates easy access to the downtown area, underscoring Dubai’s ongoing progress. One Za’abeel aims to foster a vibrant community catering to residents and global visitors, with a diverse offering of dining options, retail outlets, office spaces, and distinctive urban hotel experiences. The Link, suspended 100 meters in the air, features a 230-meter viewing platform that spans the east-to-west axis between the towers, offering visitors breathtaking panoramic views. ‘One Za’abeel is now the first building that greets visitors as they travel from the airport to the city centre, and will be the last sight as they leave. We wanted to create an elegant building that both represented the spirit of Dubai and provided a strong gateway for the city,’ describes Kokona Nakamura, Chief Architect of Nikken Sekkei Ltd.

Arising AS A Strong Gateway For The City

Constructed with a robust tubular steel member system arranged in a diamond grid pattern along four sides, The Link ensures structural stability while providing a spacious, column-free interior. The construction process involved lifting the first section of The Link, weighing around 8,500 tonnes, over a 12-day period, marking one of the region’s heaviest recorded lifts. The 900-tonne remaining cantilever tip was lifted and attached over a four-day period. Placed between the towers, The Link enhances safety and reduces wind-induced swaying, a frequent issue with tall buildings. One Za’abeel covers 530,000 square meters of mixed-use space, with 12,000 square meters of retail, 26,000 square meters of offices, and new luxury residential spaces. The towers are connected by the Al Mustaqbal Bridge, easing commuting as they drive directly into the downtown area. Creating a lateral new gateway to the city, One Za’abeel Tower reaches a height of 305m, while the second tower, One Za’abeel The Residences, reaches a height of 235 meters. The exteriors by NIKKEN SEKKEI feature Low-E glass with high transparency and high solar shielding performance, with glass fins providing visual interest and solar shielding. The Podium offers retail and dining options, surrounded by green spaces and walkways. Urban parks, a playground, and a garden pool enrich the entrance experience.

Yay, I fixed my parents' printer! It's a wireless printer via Wi-Fi, but the computer hasn't been detecting it for a while. The instructions to connect are to press the WSP button on the printer, then press the WSP button on the router -- but our router doesn't have a WSP button. Then I thought maybe connect it via USB, but the printer has no USB port.

What it DOES have, though, is a Type A port. So while my mom was already looking at printers online to replace this one, I suggested trying a USB to Type A cord. And if it didn't work, it only cost $12 to find out. I told her to order it 20 feet long (the printer isn't that far away as the crow flies, but I was going to have to take it behind an L-shaped desk so the cord wouldn't be where my mom's feet go. 20 feet was PERFECT -- just enough slack that except where the cord goes through the cable hole in the back of the computer cabinet and where it goes up to the printer, it lies on the ground -- if it was even a foot shorter it would be fully suspended. After wiring it to the computer I tried to print a trip confirmation for my parents, and...nothing happened. I was trying all sorts of things, then I found the printer options, and there was a "Ports" tab. Switched it from wireless to USB, and everything they'd tried to print since the printer stopped working was printed. I'm glad my mom didn't decide to just get a new printer. This $12 cable was a LOT less expensive.

10 Design’s Scheme for a Transport Oriented Retail Destination in the Old Nanjing Military Airbase Secures Planning Approval

Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport Mixed-Use Development Design

International architecture practice, 10 Design, has released new plans for one of the largest transport-oriented retail destinations and most complex developments in Nanjing.  In 2020, 10 Design won an international design competition to transform developer China Fortune’s 243,768sqm site into a contemporary mixed-use project. In June 2021, the Nanjing Planning Bureau granted planning consent for the project, which is part of the wider redevelopment of the historic Nanjing Dajiaochang military airbase in China. The scheme is an evolution in design of transport-oriented developments to create a high-quality retail environment that fully integrates with the rail network and the extensive public realm.

Jointly led by two Design Partners, Chin Yong Ng and Lukasz Wawrzenczyk, the scheme envisions the integration of retail while preserving the 2.6km airport runway which has been kept in its original form as a historic feature. The runway will be reimagined as a multifunctional cultural boulevard that doubles as a green pedestrian axis. The development involves three interconnecting buildings, incorporating a shopping mall, retail, cultural and office spaces along with a boutique hotel. Adjacent to the Nanjing Cultural Palace, this mixed-use project will run parallel to the remaining runway.

With two underground railway stations embedded into the site, connectivity is one of the key design drivers. The design includes a central glass box corridor with key entrances positioned directly on top of one of the railway tracks, providing a feature passageway for commuters to navigate through different levels of the scheme. All three buildings are connected via an underground retail spine and street-level pedestrian walkways: the pedestrian bridges provide further connectivity between the two shopping malls.

The coherent building façades echo the local culture through their metallic brick-shaped features that reference the adjacent Nanjing Cultural Palace and traditional ceramic façades. The façade pattern reflects the ancient city wall of Nanjing built in the early Ming Dynasty, further enhancing the historic and cultural connection to the city.

One of the challenges of the restrictive site was to maximise the pedestrian flow from two underground railway lines to the retail areas. It was resolved by creating a large underground ‘retail spine’ that connects and sits beneath the three main buildings on the site. A series of sunken plazas extend out to the street level, punctuating the ground level and bringing natural light into the subterranean areas. The basement retail area is an impressive double height space of up to 9m – a unique underground space with natural light that would normally only be achieved at ground level.

The redevelopment of the airbase has been designed to echo the past whilst reflecting the future of Nanjing. This important new destination will provide the city with a cosmopolitan landmark, which in parallel responds to the cultural richness of its location.

Asia Financial Center & AIIB HQ

Design: gmp · von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects

Location: Beijing, China

Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, AIIB, is the first multilateral development bank with head office in China. This financial institution, with its 103 member states, has now moved into its new head office at a prominent location in Beijing.

After winning the international competition in September 2015, the architects gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partners and their partner practice Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University Co. Ltd. (THAD) have completed the 83-meter-high symmetrical building with its stacked meandering building volumes. It marks the end of the north-south axis through Beijing’s Olympic Park and is located in the direct vicinity of iconic buildings such as the National Stadium and the National Convention Center. All offices are grouped around a total of nine open courtyards that allow light into the building. Its center features a building-high atrium around which open spaces are arranged in a continuous manner offering many interconnecting views.

In its exterior shape, the building adopts principles of the typical Beijing courtyard house, while its construction has elements that are reminiscent of traditional Chinese timber buildings. The stacked meandering three-story building volumes create a complex and open interior landscape that makes connections and emphasizes the transparency of the AIIB and the sense of community of the over 100 nations.

The first floor and the first subfloor contain shared functions such as canteens, cafés and shops, as well as a conference hall for 1,500 delegates. The top fifteen floors accommodate offices in the form of modular work environments. Intermediate floors and open terraces are formed by the offset arrangement of the meandering parts of the building, offering many internal vistas and thus emphasizing the sense of community. At the same time, this structure makes orientation in the building straightforward.

Open sky decks with varied thematic planting symbolize the “gardens of the world”: three of the nine courtyards have been laid out in accordance with traditional Chinese garden design and, in addition, trees from Asian member states have been planted. These “oases” in the Beijing metropolis serve as informal, open meeting areas and can also be used for celebrations. Wooden elements, and lamps reminiscent of traditional Chinese lanterns, have been used to create an intimate atmosphere.

Seen from the outside, the meandering building volumes make up a transparent glass cube that is structured and subdivided by the four external courtyard spaces. On each side of the building, in the middle, is a courtyard, thereby providing access to the building from all directions. The three-story elements that make up the whole building are expressed in the facade and are further highlighted by lighting that picks out the lower edges. The internal shimmering lanterns round off the harmonious lighting effect.

During the short design and construction period of only four years, the buildig was able to achieve the best possible standards in terms of ecology. This is evidenced by the award of the national 3-star certificate, the top certification level for ecologically sustainable buildings in China, as well as that of the Platinum LEED certificate.

Vantone Centre at Yuhang Future Science and Technology City

Vantone Centre in Hangzhou, China

28 Aug 2020

Vantone Centre, Yuhang Future Science and Technology City

Architecture: CLOU architects

Location: Hangzhou, China

The Vantone Centre at Yuhang Future Science and Technology City is an 80,000 sqm mixed-used complex, merging retail, office space, and SOHO apartments into one destination. This project is designed to accommodate the multifaceted demands of a contemporary lifestyle.

Design Challenge The project site is located in the Yuhang ‘Future Science and Technology City’. Five years ago, during the first site visit, Yuhang District was considered the fringes of Hangzhou that still lined with villages and farmlands. The grand-scale development which would remodel Yuhang into a new economic center awaited commencement, and all its sites were poised for transformation. Therefore, the fundamental challenge was to envisage a design solution that could respond to inevitable changes, and to think in the near future, how could our project take a clear position along a rapidly shaping skyline?

The project and its neighbors, including Alibaba’s Xixi Campus, are part of the expanding Central Business District development in this area. As such, it is anticipated that neighboring sites will grow into high-density communities populated with high-rise towers.

In high-density developments, it is not uncommon for the arrangement of vertical volumes to produce residual, undefined spaces on the lower levels. This relationship, of looming towers contrasting with an open ground plane, creates a sensation of disconnect and uneasiness. Thus the design challenge was to eliminate the under-used spaces and curate a more integrated sense of place. By introducing communal and functional spaces throughout the entirety of the development, it activates the lower levels and offers users an additional focal point aside from the monumental towers. The ultimate result is a more integrated design offering a holistic user experience.

Relationship between towers and plaza The project consists of one office tower that delivers quality workspace on 21 floors, and two 100-meter-equal-height SOHO towers that house flexible duplex units. The towers are joined at the base by a three-floor terraced podium that loops around a central plaza. The two SOHO towers are orientated to have East-West faces, while the office tower is intentionally rotated against this dominant direction. Set back from the intersection of two adjacent roads, the main façade of the office tower is positioned toward the busy crossing, opening up a triangular public plaza at its front that extends naturally into the green belt and streetscape of its surrounding.

Although moderately separated, the planning of the three towers manages to achieve the density required and offer pragmatic tenant layouts without sacrificing either daylight or scenic views towards the Xixi National Wetland Park to the Southeast. The terraced podium employs F&B and retail spaces, public patios, and balconies. Its multi-level connections facilitate and encourage circulation at the neighborhood level for enjoyable commercial and civic activities.

Visual Variation The curtain wall façade of the three towers features a pixelated pattern outlined by white granite stone cladding. In addition to the gridded outlines, a number of rectangular pixels on the office tower pop out as floating bay windows. These staggered boxes add another lively dimension to the building complex, contrasting with the vertical glazed skin on the SOHO towers to maintain a balanced visual appearance.

At present, the Yuhang ‘Future Science and Technology City’ is unveiling its undulated silhouette. Our project’s character is distinguishable against the vast development. The finished towers – two parallel and one rotated – “stretch upwards” facing their focal point, while the podium anchors itself to the ground. Winding pedestrian passageways that circulate inwards are more intimate to the passers-by, and terraced patios and balconies encircle into generous gathering spaces. Being in a somewhat monotonous and repetitive neighborhood, the Vantone mixed-use complex hopes to generate some inviting spatial transitions and visual variations.

Cube Gallery of Vanke Xiaoshan

Architecture: CLOU architects

Location: Hangzhou, China

Cube Gallery of Vanke Xiaoshan is a 21,000 sqm community retail center located in Hangzhou. It is designed as a convivial place of interaction between the young families and seniors living in the surrounding residences. By fusing two types of common retail design, retail street, and retail villa, CLOU provides a commercial design that hosts multi-scale, multi-type of business programs with various public social space.

Cube Gallery has been selected as the 2020 Architizer A+Awards Jury Winner in the Shopping Center Category.

Multi-scale, Multi-type of Commercial Programs, Flexible Operation Targeting specific groups of people, it is the first attempt for Vanke and CLOU to establish a centralized retail center that caters to refined business formats.

Through the assumption of the plan on the integration of retail types, shopping street and mall, CLOU decides to retain the strategy of expanding public space from indoor to outdoor, meanwhile adding the advantage of another retail type, retail villa, to finally form a commercial project that’s a fusion of retail street and retail villas. The resulting arrangement is a composition of three-story individual cubes available for anchor tenants setting on top of two levels of retail terraces for compact community shop units.

Multi-scale, multi-type of commercial programs are fully integrated into different scales of space. The lower level is suitable for small-scale retail programs that guarantee rental/sales efficiency and fulfills the need for community amenities. The higher level is suitable for businesses with large special requirements, which fulfills the local demands of large dining space, entertainment/leisure activities, and education/cultural centers. The distinct vertical divisions and various commercial spaces help drive the overall business vitality.

Multiple “ground floor”, 24-hour Public Social Space This hybrid of two retail types not only offers the flexibility for a mix of small and large tenants but also opens up layered outdoor terraces and courtyard landscape, all together form a large area of public space. The balance between commercial operation and the quality of public social space is being realized with limited site area.

External pathways, outdoor steps, the multiple “ground floor” strategy is being applied into 24-hour outdoor circulation, which connects the main street corner plaza at ground level and outdoor terraces into a three dimensional social and cultural hub.

Façade Features The exterior façade of the Cube Gallery adopts the structure of the glass curtain wall with white aluminum grille. It provides shelters for different commercial programs’ logistics such as dining and entertainment, also guarantees indoor natural lighting. On the other hand, the entire visual from the exterior is integrated and varied, maximizing the public visibility of the street, and providing a buffer between the vertically dense residential area and the main street.

To fully explore the possibilities of public space in retail design, and stimulate the vitality of a community social hub, Cube Gallery of Vanke Xiaoshan is an opportunity turned from a challenge and finally offers a distinctive character to the city via architectural format.
