A week of AI flare-ups, 3D-printed wool and an inflating/deflating sphere. Welcome to the Design Line.

The 30th episode of The Crit features an interview with Timorous Beasties, alongside discussions of the allegations against David Adjaye, Meta’s Twitter challenger Threads, and the tumultuous opening of the Young V&A.

Serious allegations against architect David Adjaye, Meta’s design for a Twitter competitor, and a row over the Young V&A censoring LGBTQ+ displays in this week’s Design Line.

The Young V&A opens the door for a playful mode of curation, Sabine Marcelis imagines a very personable Renault Twingo, and Barbie gives an Xbox a makeover on this week’s Design Line.

The V&A finally cuts ties to the Sackler family, Coperni sprays a dress onto Bella Hadid, and the European Union makes its move against charger clutter.

The mid-summer Design Line is here, with a look at the US’s wave of unionisation, video game disaster simulations, and BIG’s mock-up mistake.

After the V&A’s U-turn, Glenn Adamson explains how museums have got themselves in a muddle when it comes to chronological order.
