The MCP Gateway is a powerful tool that unifies different AI service protocols like REST and MCP into one easy-to-use endpoint. It helps you manage multiple AI tools and services securely with features like authentication, retries, rate-limiting, and real-time monitoring through an admin UI. You can run it locally or in scalable cloud environments using Docker or Kubernetes. It supports various communication methods (HTTP, WebSocket, SSE, stdio) and offers observability with OpenTelemetry for tracking AI tool usage and performance. This gateway simplifies connecting AI clients to diverse services, making development and management more efficient and secure.

Ørsted Gardens.
Ørsted Gardens transformed a dilapidated building (see third image) into a new social space with semi-private decks for the individual residents.
Ørsted Gardens by Tegnestuen Lokal – "If we want to achieve a sustainable future, we cannot rely on only building sustainable buildings going forward. We need to have a visionary method of transforming and adapting existing buildings to meet our changing needs. Ørsted Gardens is an example of a project that brings a generic renovation to a new level, improving the visual and social environment for residents and visitors alike."

3XN Architect’s proposal for SRPJ in Tokyo.
The design for The Shibuya Upper West project, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀, began from the inside out – understanding the target user groups, identifying key project aspirations for this new ecosystem nestled within Shibuya and Tokyo, and ensuring a clear, uncomplicated method of articulation that amplifies the spatial qualities within, without compromising the functionality and efficiency of a retail development.
Taking cues from nature as a means of creating balance between the more hard edge, urban environment of Shibuya, the simple massing articulation, or gesture mimics the pattern of waves and their undulating movement, with imagery that also evokes the contemplative and soothing gestures of raked brush strokes seen in tranquil rock gardens, evoking a sense of calm and excitement, easily recognisable and yet able to stand apart from the surrounding context.
Huge congratulations to Snohetta for their winning design!

‘Where’s House Warehouse’ by pbm Architects defies typical warehouse stereotypes with an ethereal design in Bangkok. The architects crafted a multi-use space blending office and storage functions. Its facade, made of glass cuboids, breaks the monotony of industrial contexts. The concept evolved from merging living, working, and storage areas seamlessly, fostering interaction and fluidity.

Do you know how many silver spheres are on the facade of the Hanjie Wanda Square in Wuhan, China?
42,333.
While they all may look identical, their specific positions involving each other recreate the effect of movement and reflection in water or the sensuous folds of silk fabric.
