Kawasaki Introduces CORLEO: A Futuristic Robotic ‘Rideable’ Horse Inspired by Motorcycles

Kawasaki, the Japanese tech and engineering powerhouse known for its high-performance motorcycles, has unveiled a revolutionary innovation in the realm of personal mobility.

MU05-106 ARCHITECT by Mauron Musy x Arturo Tedeschi, Parametric Modeling of a Timepiece

With the launch of MU05-106 ARCHITECT, the collaborative team of Mauron Musy, revolutionizing watchmaking, and Arturo Tedeschi, spearheading algorithmic design and parametric modeling, has defined a groundbreaking moment in horology

You’ve heard the hype. It’s time for results.

After two years of siloed experiments, proofs of concept that fail to scale, and disappointing ROI, most enterprises are stuck. AI isn't transforming their organizations — it’s adding complexity, friction, and frustration.

But Writer customers are seeing positive impact across their companies. Our end-to-end approach is delivering adoption and ROI at scale. Now, we’re applying that same platform and technology to build agentic AI that actually works for every enterprise.

This isn’t just another hype train that overpromises and underdelivers.
It’s the AI you’ve been waiting for — and it’s going to change the way enterprises operate. Be among the first to see end-to-end agentic AI in action. Join us for a live product release on April 10 at 2pm ET (11am PT).

Can't make it live? No worries — register anyway and we'll send you the recording!

Winning Design Concept for Ngurra Cultural Precinct Highlights First Nations’ History and Traditions

Djinjama, COLA Studio, Hassell, and Edition Office have won a design competition for Ngurra: The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Precinct in Canberra, presenting a winning concept for this long-overdue cultural landmark that expresses the significance of First Nations’ history and traditions in Australia’s national conscience.

Tilting the Skyline: 8 Inclined Structures That Defy Gravity

From record-breaking tilts to sculptural deflections, inclined architecture invites viewers to reimagine what buildings can be, not just shelters or landmarks but statements of ambition and imagination.

How Reciprocal Frame Structures Achieve Self-Support

A reciprocal frame structure (RF) is a self-supporting architectural design where beams interlock to evenly distribute weight, inspired by the concept of each person sitting on the lap of another in a circle, creating a balanced and resilient framework without a central pillar.

The evolution of AI in space exploration and habitat engineering

Artificial intelligence is not only beneficial in aiding space missions and research, but it is a technique used in many fields related to space.
