Clinching the title for London was the 'Chelsea Brut' by Pricegore Architects. The minimalist's dream home is an extension, refurbishment and retrofit of a four-storey 1960s townhouse in a dense part of west central London. The house, which was unveiled in a special episode of Grand Designs, features a sleek grey brick façade, while its inside has been stripped back to its structure, also finished in grey using raw materials like lime plaster, lime slurry and clay-block floors.
In July, Lucid, Uber, and Nuro announced a massive robotaxi deal that would see the deployment of 20,000 autonomous vehicles in the US over the next six years. But every journey begins with a single step, and today Lucid announced the delivery of the first Gravity SUV to Nuro for retrofitting. The vehicle was built at Lucid's factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, and then transported to the automaker's headquarters in Newark, California. There, a team from Nuro installed the sensors and other hardware for autonomous driving.
