Sculpting with glass is often the choice of artist and designer Danny Lane. He can combine it with steel, timber, acid etching and numerous other techniques and materials, yet at its root Lane's life's work is glass. He teases it to its limits for artistic effect – extruding, moulding, dripping, colouring, striating, cracking and nibbling at its edges. The other partner in his arsenal is light, the way it flickers, beams, glitters and projects. In an interview with AD Editor Neil Spiller, he reveals his thoughts on his creative history, his beloved material and his influences. Danny Lane, Etruscan Chair, 2016 This design for a glass and steel chair was originally conceived in 1986, and has been through various modifications since then; 1990s glass became 25mm thick and the metal was refined, with Jimmy Choo high‐heeled shoe tips.

Topics discussed include the "De architectura" treatise by Vitruvius, the "Vitruvian Man" drawing of Leonardo da Vinci, and the experiments with 3D-printing of food by Southern California Institute of Architecture student Kyle von Hasseln.

This article develops the concept of non-closure in sustained news stories, based on the case study of Ron Arad, an Israeli soldier who was taken captive in 1986 and whose story still continues to produce headlines in the Israeli press. Coverage of the Arad case was examined in the three major Israeli daily newspapers for a period of 17 years, and the textual mechanisms through which the story has been kept alive were identified. The article offers an analysis of three central non-closure strategies: maintaining suspense, thickening the plot, and keeping the protagonist alive. It is suggested that these strategies enhance readers' involvement with the journalistic texts and function as a bridge between the ritual and information transmission functions of news. Non- closure is thus conceptualized as a force that operates alongside the well-studied forces of closure and renders individual news pieces as episodes in a serial narrative rather than self-contained narrative units.
