The Victoria and Albert Museum's V&A East site has officially opened today in Stratford, East London. Designed by O'Donnell and Tuomey, the 6,400-square-metre new building is part of the wider £1.1BN East Bank cultural quarter.

The museum's exterior has been inspired by the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga, an influential Spanish couturier who was celebrated in a major V&A exhibition in 2017.

Explaining its design, O'Donnell and Tuomey stated: "As with Balenciaga’s creations, the outer skin of the new V&A building acts as a three-dimensional ‘folded dress’, lending the museum a distinctive form and striking identity. V&A East has been designed as a statement structure with a distinctive facade that wraps the building. The angular outer skin appears different from various approaches and view points."

Together, the museum and its sister project, the V&A Storehouse on the Olympic Park, form part of the V&A's broader East London expansion project.

This year's Milan design week will likely be dominated once again by fancy stuff for rich people but there are still gems to be found if you look hard enough, writes Max Fraser.

DeepSeek has just inverted in an instant some of the most fundamental assumptions about the U.S. lead in technology, the global economy, and the future of energy. It has upended basic predictions from Silicon Valley and the Trump administration on the U.S. lead in the global economy. And it has done so almost overnight. What next….?

We are a cusp of massive change

- ai agents are being used IRL and are taking over human tasks
- we are deleting onerous regulations.
- we are shutting down bureaucracy
- AI is eating software and will result in massive disruption
- innovation has become infectious and we are progressing at an unprecedented pace

At first it will appear as if nothing is changing and then all of a sudden everything will be different ❤️
