Urtopia's Chord e-bike: Overkill for City Riding, but Acceptable.

Urtopia's Chord e-bike is a stylish city e-bike with wireless connectivity features such as WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 4G. It has a 350W motor, 8-speed Shimano gear system, and a maximum range of 75 miles. The Chord is heavier than the Carbon 1 but has a more upright and comfortable riding position. The built-in GPS and 4G allow for automatic ride recording and bike tracking in case of theft. The Chord is a good option for those who love a quantified ride and rarely go off-road.

Plan:b arquitectos designs BA'RA Hotel.

The Ba'ra hotel, designed by Plan:b arquitectos, is a 126-room hotel located in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, facing the beach and accessed from Avenida Cabo Branco. The hotel features a 'U'-shaped plan, generating a semi-public central space available for hotel events related to the urban life of the city and the beach. Each room has an ocean view using staggered diagonal cantilevers, and the last level features a central bridge over the metal pergolas, leading to two terraces with a restaurant and a pool.
