December 4, 2020

On a stroll down Edinburgh‘s Royal Mile/High Street, visitors can see some of the world’s first skyscrapers. That part of the capital’s Old Town was once encircled with a stone wall, which meant that the only way to increase housing capacity for a growing population was to build up. But this construction occurred at a time when there were no building codes, and little thought given to sanitation or, for that matter, the enjoyment of the inhabitants. During the……

If these walls could talk

| Entrepreneurship

For many tourists, a stroll through Rome’s famous Piazza del Popolo is an opportunity to take in beautiful architecture, get some fresh air, and enjoy a little people-watching. What may not be top of mind is that the place has a much darker side: It was used for public executions by hanging. ElDante Winston doesn’t overlook this fact. The PhD student in MIT’s History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture and Art program is keenly interested in how spaces designed…

Illustrating Covid-19 hygiene best practices

December 3, 2020

Cartoons and illustrations have long been used to convey important health and safety messages.

They have released open-source educational posters and……

Physicists capture the sound of a “perfect”...

December 3, 2020

For some, the sound of a “perfect flow” might be the gentle lapping of a forest brook or perhaps the tinkling of water poured from a pitcher. For physicists, a perfect flow is more specific, referring to a fluid that flows with the smallest amount of friction, or viscosity, allowed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Such perfectly fluid behavior is rare in nature, but it is thought to occur in the cores of neutron stars and in the……

An Elegy for India's Single-Screen Cinema Palaces

December 3, 2020

It was an unplanned detour that started the whole thing. On a lazy winter afternoon in January 2019, photographer Hemant Chaturvedi walked over to Allahabad University, an architectural landmark from the 1800s in the northern Indian city, to take a few images. En route, he remembered that there was an old, single-screen movie theater in the area. That’s how he ended up at Lakshmi Talkies, an Art Deco–styled cinema from the 1930s. Dilapidated after closing in 1999, the forlorn……
