🏰🐦 Watch the ghost of architect Sir Christopher Wren and a curious raven explore the timber frames and zig-zag brick patterns of 500-year-old Tudor #architecture.

The #animation explains how these wood-based structures survived – or didn't – through centuries of shifting tastes and the Great Fire of #London.

If you design digital interfaces and you've never tried Penpot, I highly recommend giving it a shot. There are a number of things it does better than Figma, and you can even self-host an instance if you want (mine's running on a Raspberry Pi in my home lab).

Penpot Ambassador Program is live!

Hi everyone 👋 When we discussed our community plans just before 2025, we did mention the idea of an ambassador program.

^{Penpot Community}

Je deviens ambassadeur @penpot France 🥳 !

L'opportunité de construire une communauté francophone sur le #design, le #developpement et l'#opensource!

Penpot est un outil puissant de design, mais l'objectif derrière cette communauté va plus loin : on parlera aussi #accessibilité, #souveraineténumérique, collaboration, et + !

On en parle à la prochaine Penpot Community hour le 20 Mars: app.formbricks.com/s/ko5b815vs…

Testez Penpot: design.penpot.app/?utm_source=…

À bientôt pour la suite !

Next up in the Kaleidoscopic series, a dark mode abstraction made from an apartment building on Albert Embankment in London.

The residential and mixed use complex, known as The Corniche, was designed by global architecture studio, Foster + Partners. The building was completed between 2017 and 2019.

Apparently the windows were made like this to let more light in than ordinary windows. (The listed status means that any repairs or maintenance must put the window panes back in the same position.)

Attached picture is an example of the style I'm looking for.

An ode to Modernist concrete. Rachid Karami International Fair, Tripoli, Lebanon

This collection of modernist architectural forms was the result of an international collaboration between famed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and Lebanese engineers. The architecture is a blend of Brazilian Modernism and Lebanese styles.

Or, that was the plan. Sadly, this ambitious site remains a sad futuristic ruin frozen in time.

Sunset Over Sydney Harbor, Sydney, NSW, Australia

A breathtaking wide-angle landscape capturing the intense golden hour over Sydney, Australia. As the sun dips behind the distant city skyline and coastal ridges, it casts a brilliant path of light across the rippling harbor waters. The sky is a dramatic canvas of deep blues and fiery yellows, filled with wispy cirrus clouds that add a sense of movement and scale to the vast Australian horizon.

What was singer Eartha Kitt known for, besides the definitive rendition of Santa Baby? Acting and activism.

There's her growling purr, a half-dozen songs on the 1950s pop charts, roles on stage and screen—famously as Catwoman to TV's Batman—and as a voice actor in later years. Her collaborator Orson Welles called her "The most exciting woman in the world." Kitt won a Tony and 3 Emmy awards. She died Christmas day, 2008.

In 1950s London, Tin Pan Alley and pop-scene photographer Harry Hammond took a series of black-and-white photos of Kitt. The #VictoriaAndAlbert #Museum now houses the negatives.

Eartha Kitt was also a peace and LGBT+ activist. During the 1960s Vietnam war, she berated her White-House luncheon hosts, saying: "You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder kids rebel and take pot." The fallout meant an unflattering CIA dossier and a career shift to Europe and Asia.
