Vietnam and Iran are two of the world’s most serious brick countries and this house from Hanoi proves why. Brick Cave by H&P Architects. Jali screens filtering light and air across every facade. A rooftop garden growing vegetables. A courtyard pulling the outside in. All of it built from locally produced brick in a dense suburban commune undergoing rapid urbanization. At night it becomes a lantern. By day it’s a cave. Same material. Same hands. Completely different experience. This is what brick can do when architects take it seriously.

This is an interesting discussion of AI's impact on science. ergosphere.blog/posts/the-mach…
