My daughter has an ultrarare disease. I became an RN to care for her Jillian, now 26, needs constant care. But having a nursing degree gave me the language to be able to speak to doctors about her rare, incurable condition.

See inside a city run by children Every two summers since the 1970s, a minicity pops up in Munich. It resembles any other city—except that it is run entirely by children.

Today’s design history lesson. 🙌

The untold origin story of the N95 mask The most important design object of our time was more than a century in the making.

What can we learn from this thriving, car-free German neighborhood? Get rid of parking spaces In Freiburg, Germany, a neighborhood called Vauban made it unnecessary to own a car–and very difficult to do it even if you wanted to. After 20 years of success, it could be a model for how we design future walkable neighborhoods.

Thoughtful creativity.

These tiny homes for ladybugs and spiders are designed to help them thrive Instead of killing household bugs, architect Angelo Renna wants to help them survive.
