Weekly Design Links – 05/19/26

It’s been a whirlwind. My process is still not tidy–but I’m seeing glimpses of what could be. There’s no easy. Links are still fun, though.

Work

Mockups Were Never the Hard Part

With AI, anyone on a team can generate mockups in minutes. That was never the hard part. The difficult work is, and always has been, maintaining coherency and intention across a product so it works for people, not the other way around. And perhaps unintuitively, everyone making mockups can help.

Architecture

Delta Business Center By Picharchitects

Rather than occupying the ground, the building rises above it, returning the terrain to ecological use and transforming the lower level into a climatic and environmental infrastructure. This strategy enables natural water management, reinforces biodiversity, and establishes a passive thermodynamic system that improves thermal comfort while reducing overall energy demand.
