PyTorch for AMD lands on Windows 11 — the CUDA monopoly cracks
AMD's PyTorch on Windows 11 public preview lets a Radeon workstation run Llama 3.2 locally — no WSL, no cloud, FADP-clean by default for Swiss studios.
Destination Earth: ETH Zurich Bets on Co-Design to Run a Planet at 1 km
ETH Zurich and ECMWF build Destination Earth, a 1 km digital twin of the planet. Why co-design is the only path — and what it means for AEC practice.
Generative LLMs eat transistor topology — and your facade is next
TOPCELL fine-tunes LLMs with GRPO to collapse 7nm standard-cell search 85.91×. The pattern transfers: any verifier you own becomes a topology solver.
Multivac had no failover — re-reading Asimov's 'The Last Question' as a topology warning
Re-reading Asimov's 1956 'The Last Question' as a single-point-of-failure parable — plus a one-call networkx Hack to find them in your own stack.
CRS-34 Docks at Harmony: The Quiet Topology of a 25-Year Building
SpaceX CRS-34 docked at the ISS on May 17 with 6,500 lbs of science. The real lesson for architects: draw your project's real dependency graph this week.
The dependency edge Apollo missed: lunar hay fever in 12 of 12 moonwalkers
All 12 moonwalkers got lunar hay fever from regolith Apollo's architecture didn't model. The dependency-graph lesson scales to every construction site.
Behind the Humanoid Boom: The Stack Architects Now Have to Specify
MIT Tech Review's robot-learning history hides a three-layer dependency stack. Architects specifying robotic fabrication in 2026 should draw it now.
NASA Becomes a Customer: The MDA Space Webinar and Your Real Dependency Graph
NASA's CSDA program just added MDA Space's C-band SAR. The topology shift matters more than the data — and your dependency graph should show it.
Hennebont's 17-Metre Equestrian Hall: What K architectures Got Right About Contextual Insertion
K architectures' 17m equestrian hall at Hennebont shows how regulatory constraints shape form — and what BIM teams can learn from it.
HarPie: What a Narrow Lakeshore Strip in Quebec Teaches About Site-Driven Section Logic
What Nathalie Thibodeau's HarPie house in Quebec teaches architects about section-driven site logic — and how to apply it on Swiss lakeside terrain.
