Design for new Bucks arena


I don't know why but I'm totally digging this design for the new Milwaukee Bucks arena. Some people say it's ugly and looks like a giant taco, while others think it's reminiscent of an old-fashioned beer barrel. But according to architecture firm Populous, the design is "inspired by the natural beauty of Wisconsin's rivers, lakes and forests" and "will stand out as an iconic addition to the cityscape and seamlessly connect with surrounding neighborhoods."




While designed for the Bucks, the 714,000 square foot stadium will serve as a multi-purpose venue suitable for shows, concerts and even ice hockey.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

This app turns freehand sketches into realistic photos

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly changing the nature of creative processes. Computer algorithms have generated numerous paintings, poetry, music, and even movie scripts. While some people could not keep their hands off these innovations, the question whether AI-created art can really be deemed as art still lingers around. If you want to create photorealistic portraits but you're struggling to see improvement in your depictions, AI seems to have an answer to your problem. As stated on its project page, the DeepFaceDrawing app "allows users with little training in drawing to produce high-quality images from rough or even incomplete freehand sketches." Check out the demo video below: Impressive. But I still believe that while machines can produce stunning visuals, it doesn't mean they will replace artists.
