A few months ago, we lost Leon Krier, one of the all-time greats in the world of architecture and urban design. I’m joined by Dan Parolek of Opticos Design to reflect on Krier’s work and influence, and his personal experiences working with him on multiple projects. Krier’s work and his many drawings have been foundational for so many of us that came through the world of New Urbanism. His simple, elegant way of dissecting what’s wrong with modern cities angered a lot of people in the architecture and

We’ve worked alongside people for years, only to realize that we know nothing about their personal life. And it probably affected our working relationship. Knowing your colleagues as humans reframes inevitable challenges at work. Had we known our colleagues better, would we have worked through disagreements better or found new ways to collaborate? Yeah, we sure would have.Alison Rand, who helped establish the discipline of design operations through roles at Hot Studio, Frog, Automattic, and SAP,

The vast majority of freelancers want one thing: more clients.But what if that’s not your biggest problem? What if you’re booked solid… And now the “good problem to have” is that you can’t ever take a vacation because your income is tied to the hours you work? It’s a dollars-for-hours trap.

Še pred ogledom razstave Ohlajanje v Galeriji Ravne bi se za vzdušje obiskovalec lahko odpravil nedaleč stran v novo odprti muzej Stara železarna na Ravnah na Koroškem. V teh krajih ima jeklarstvo več kot 400 let zgodovine, ki se na neki način zgosti v temačnem prostoru, polnem velikanskih hidravličnih strojev in trpkega vonja po prekajenem. V njem zdaj vse miruje, v pravem pogonu pa je sosednja proizvodnja. ''Velike in mračne proizvodne hale delujejo na obiskovalca nadrealistično in navdihujoče

Transcripts available at diceexploder.comOne of my favorite parts about these episodes where I'm highlighting a single moment from an actual play is how many practical lessons I can bring back to my own table by going beat by beat through a significant moment in play. And today, Maia Wilson has brought a particularly significant moment from her show Maia's Game Room in which one character, in desperate straights, is pressured by an NPC to pay for his help with sex.It's an intense moment

We are revisiting the 2025 Trend Themes with a clearer lens. Flexibility became a perk for the few, not a standard for all. Big donors shaped politics while calling it populism. AI fakes moved from novelty to everyday content. Living alone became something cities must plan for. Cities focused on what was easy to count, while people demanded proof for every claim. October made this obvious: donors pushed court outcomes, newsrooms argued over how to label AI content, housing costs dominated local
