True knowledge emerges from well-designed co-design sessions. Without a tailored process, results remain repetitive and fail to address the specific needs of a community, situation, or land. Ultimately, design challenges are inherently urban and social challenges. That is what makes it SOUR by @whatissour

If some of the world’s leading engineers don’t know how to teach the next generation to work with AI yet, how are schools supposed to?

When Justin Reich visited DeepMind, he asked engineers a seemingly simple question: Do you know how to teach a junior engineer to code with a Copilot?

The answer, again and again, was no.

For Justin, that uncertainty reveals something important about AI and education: we can’t expect teachers to teach practices that society itself hasn’t figured out yet.

More on our proposal for the Kuşadası Municipal Service Building has received a Purchase Prize (Satınalma Ödülü) in the national architectural design competition.

Developed in partnership with @__frea__ , our design imagines the town hall not as an administrative monolith but as a civic landscape — open, accessible, and rooted in the ecology and sensory character of Kuşadası.

Congratulations to the entire team, and thank you to the jury and the Municipality of Kuşadası @kusadasibelediyesi for recognizing our vision.

SOUR @whatissour Unveils Pur: A Masterclass in Sensory Architecture and Acoustic Innovation Opens on the Aegean Coast

🔗 https://amazingarchitecture.com/hotel/sour-unveils-pur-a-masterclass-in-sensory-architecture-and-acoustic-innovation-opens-on-the-aegean-coast

vernacular craft and world-class acoustics, designed through co-creation with international and local musicians.

“This all started with one idea that the environment in which you make a record ultimately influences the end result, not just the studio, but the people and the history.

When I listened to our records, I remember everything about the experience, it’s like I hear memories. I feel like if everyone knew more about the people and the places these records made, they would feel more connected to it.”
