When visitors approach one of the two new affinity houses opening on the Bucknell University campus this semester, they'll cross an irregularly shaped section of pavement. Instead of proceeding straight from the front door to the road, the pathway forks at a 60-degree angle and meets the sidewalk to inscribe an equilateral triangle — or the Greek letter delta — in the concrete. It's a small detail that didn't cost extra to install, but will go a long way to making the building feel like home to its eventual occupants. The house at 125 Strohecker Farm Lane is planned to host the Delta Upsilon fraternity , which is recolonizing, and contains other architectural nods to the chapter's former house next to Bertrand Library. The two-story portico above the entryway replicates that found on the former DU house, as does the cherry wood trim on the building's first floor. Now known as Hildreth-Mirza Hall, the former DU house was acquired by the University in 2005 and ...

I’m the resident sci-fi/fantasy nerd here in the Food + Home department. I grew up binging on shows like “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Firefly,” “Battlestar Galactica” and more recently, “Black Mirror” and “Westworld.” If I’m not scouring cookbooks, odds are you’ll find my nose buried in a book by Kim Stanley Robinson , Connie Willis or Octavia Butler. So when the discussion about Future of Food came up, I decided to channel a bit of the “What if?” spirit, imagining three future scenarios of a typical Sunday in a San Francisco home kitchen . How will technological advances impact how we think about and interact with food? Future #1: Science dominates Picture, if you will, a “Jetsons”-like, super-shiny, gadget and convenience-heavy world where 3-D food printers, drone food delivery , laser dishwashers and other interactive, Web- connected smart appliances reign supreme . 7 a.m. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wakes you. In the kitchen, the Coffee Maestro, a home kitchen-frien...

Warm wood is the main building material and was selected thanks to its outstanding thermal properties . Serrano used spruce for the façade and pine for the interior; all wood originated from the Catalonian Pyrenees. The materials used were sourced from the immediate ...
