The new Highmark Stadium, future home of the Buffalo Bills, is designed specifically for football purists, embracing Buffalo's intense winter weather rather than seeking to avoid it. Despite a $2.1 billion price tag, much of it from taxpayer money, the stadium will not have a roof, meaning it cannot host major events like the Super Bowl. Instead, the design by Populous incorporates innovative engineering solutions, such as wind-manipulating facades to slow gusts, a hydronic snowmelt system for the canopy and stands, and heating beneath the pitch, all to ensure a comfortable yet authentic cold-weather game-day experience. Seating capacity has been reduced to 60,000, with additional standing-only sections, to create a more intimate and intimidating atmosphere. While it deviates from the trend of multi-purpose, climate-controlled stadiums, the new Highmark Stadium prioritizes the unique culture and history of the Buffalo Bills and its passionate fanbase.

[VIDEO] How Jackie Designed a Safe Palace in Manhattan
This video explores the New York City life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis after the assassination of her first husband, President John F. Kennedy. Seeking privacy for herself and her children, Jackie moved back to Manhattan in 1964, settling into a penthouse at 1040 Fifth Avenue. The apartment, designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela, offered expansive rooms and stunning views over Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While she filled her home with personal treasures, French antiques, and books, Jackie also navigated the relentless pursuit of paparazzi like Ron Galella, leading to a landmark court case that recognized her right to privacy. After the death of her second husband, Aristotle Onassis, Jackie pursued a career in publishing, first as a consulting editor at Viking Press and later as a senior editor at Doubleday, all while maintaining her home at 1040 Fifth Avenue. Her life in the apartment, and the auction of her possessions at Sotheby's after her death, cemented her iconic status and continued to captivate the world.
