Nemo Monti and Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily newspaper, have created a project to create a new model of the “newsstand for the 21st century.” The goal of the project is to give the newspaper supply and distribution chain new venues for dialoguing with the public, restoring newsstands’ centrality in today’s urban landscape.
Seven architecture and design firms are participating in the competition. The firms will rethink what the traditional newsstand looks like, but also how it should relate to urban space and the services it offers to the public.

Step(1) housing: A new approach to sheltering unhoused people in Redwood City, Calif.
A novel solution to homelessness will open soon in Redwood City, Calif. The compact residential campus employs modular units to create individual sleeping units, most with private bathrooms. The 240 units of housing will be accompanied by shared services and community spaces. Instead of the congregate dorm-style shelters found in many U.S. cities, this approach gives each resident a private, lockable, conditioned sleeping space.
