More “L”s is better? Adding Lagrange's algorithm to the LLL lattice reduction produces vectors that are shorter without affecting much of the runtime.
Lenstra–Lenstra–Lovász-Lagrange is a mouthful, so thankfully the authors introduce this algorithm with the L4 name.

Pitsou Kedem covers Hiba restaurant in Tel Aviv with geometric timber latticework
Gridded oakwood panels sit alongside rough slabs of granite inside Hiba, a restaurant in Tel Aviv designed by local architecture practice Pitsou Kedem.
Located in the city's midtown area, Hiba serves a menu of Arab-Israeli fusion food.
The restaurant's use of fresh local ingredients influenced Pitsou Kedem to curate an equally raw, natural material palette for its interior.
A gridded oak partition runs along Hiba's entrance corridor
Guests are guided into the venue via a narrow corridor with a gridded oak divider on one side.
Some of the partition's rectangular slots are blocked off while others are left open, allowing visitors to get brief glimpses of the hubbub happening in the restaurant proper.
Hiba's facade and ceiling feature the same latticework, loosely informed by the mashrabiya window screens that are traditional to Islamic architecture.
The restaurant can seat up to 40 guests
The corridor opens up into an intimate dining room, which accommodates just 40 guests.
Dotted throughout are a series of circular oak tables, each accompanied by curved-back oak chairs with woven seats.
The dining room features oak tables and chairs alongside granite counters
Some of the tables back onto a powdered concrete bench that runs along one side of the room.
Concrete was also applied to the restaurant's floor, where it was polished to reveal the aggregate within.

At the back of the room, the practice created what it describes as an "inverted bar", where liquor bottles are displayed inside a backlit niche in the wall rather than a typical bar counter that projects out into the room.
Drinks can be prepared here or on the chunky slab of granite that forms a counter at the centre of the room.
Diners can also sit on a curved concrete bench
Another craggy block of granite forms the base of an oak-topped dining counter that extends directly into Hiba's kitchen in the corner of the restaurant.
The kitchen was intentionally left open so that diners can watch the chefs at work and get an insight into the culinary process.
A niche in the restaurant's rear wall doubles up as a drinks bar
Pitsou Kedem was founded by Israeli architect Pitsou Kedem in 2000.
Hiba joins a number of trendy eateries across Tel Aviv including the minimalist vegan restaurant Opa and Bana – a cafe where fresh fruit and produce are arranged into colourful eye-catching displays.

Hydroformed steel lattice wraps Harvard building by Behnisch Architekten
The Boston office of Behnisch Architekten has completed a massive academic building on a new campus for Harvard University that features the "world's first hydroformed stainless-steel screen".
The Science and Engineering Complex (SEC) is part of Harvard's new Allston Campus, which is located just across the Charles River from the university's main campus in Cambridge. The building sits on a five-acre (two-hectare) site along Western Avenue, a key thoroughfare.
The building is wrapped by a hydroformed steel lattice screen
The research and teaching facility houses the John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science. It accommodates people working in a range of fields, such as robotics, bioengineering, applied physics and mechanical engineering.
The building is designed "to inspire learning and scientific discovery while showcasing sustainability".
Behnisch Architekten completed the project for Harvard University
"Its forward-looking design reflects the advanced, world-class spatial and technological solutions of its faculty and staff who are meeting the complex, changing requirements of scientific inquiry," said Behnisch Architekten, which is based in Germany.
The complex encompasses 544,000 square feet (50,539 square metres) and is roughly rectangular in plan.
Three volumes are connected by glazed, multi-story atria
A broken-up massing helps reduce the building's visual heft. Rising eight levels, the facility is composed of three volumes connected by glazed, multi-storey atria.
"This creates a visual rhythm along the nearly 500 feet of street frontage analogous to more traditionally scaled structures, while maintaining the continuity of the program in a single building," the team said.
The exterior has a layered appearance
The exterior has a layered appearance that is meant to establish an identity for the complex while also calibrating its scale.
The upper portion features the world's first hydroformed stainless-steel screen, according to the architects. Hydroforming is a special type of die moulding in which metal is formed using highly pressurised fluid.
Eight levels make up the vast building
The screen was precisely designed to mitigate solar heat gain during warm months while allowing sunlight to penetrate during the winter.
"The screen also reflects daylight towards the interior while maintaining large view apertures," the team said.
Flexible spaces foster collaboration and interdisciplinary working
Lower portions of the buildings have different facade treatments, including long-span glass walls and ribbon windows.
Shading elements help modulate solar exposure, and operable windows in several areas allow for natural ventilation.
Behnisch Architekten added exposed concrete to interior spaces
Within the building, the team aimed to create flexible spaces that foster collaboration and interdisciplinary working.
The floors closest to the street hold classrooms, maker spaces, teaching labs and amenity areas. Glazed openings put student work on display while also helping connect the building to the surrounding community.

The lower level also has a cafe and a stepped seating area that looks toward a courtyard.
Laboratories are found on upper floors, where they are afforded more privacy and security. Multi-level lounges are situated between the research blocks. Labs were designed to change as needed.
The latticed screen creates playful shadows inside
"Modular, flexible laboratory environments, smart zoning of highly ventilated zones from dry spaces, and robust delivery of centralised lab services ensure the adaptability of the space for decades to come," Behnisch Architekten said.
For interior finishes, the team used materials such as exposed concrete and glass to create an open atmosphere. Wood was used for flooring, stairs, seating areas, work bars and benches.

The complex has a broad array of sustainable elements, including shading devices, natural ventilation, solar panels, vegetated roof terraces, and efficient systems for lighting, heating and cooling.
The project has achieved LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council.

It also has earned certification from the Seattle-based International Living Future Institute under its Living Building Challenge – one of the most rigorous green-building certification programmes in the world. The interior spaces have earned "petal certification" in the categories of materials, beauty and equity.
Behnisch Architekten was started in 1989 by Stefan Behnisch and today has offices in Stuttgart, Munich and Boston.
Lower portions of the building feature ribbon windows
Other projects by the firm include the renovation and expansion of a business school at Portland State University, and the design of a German energy laboratory with walls made of translucent polycarbonate panels.

Marcel Wanders wraps Louis Vuitton Miami store in diamond facade
Dutch studio Marcel Wanders has created a white, patterned screen for a Louis Vuitton menswear store in Miami that was informed by the luxury brand's leatherwork and iconic monogram.
Located in the heart of the city's Design District, the store opened in December 2021 during Design Miami.
While the building and interior design were handled by the company's in-house team, the Amsterdam-based studio of Marcel Wanders created the exterior screen, dubbed the Diamond Facade.
Marcel Wanders created a latticed screen for the store
In addition to Miami's modernist architecture, the design draws upon an earlier product created by Marcel Wanders for Louis Vuitton – the Diamond Screen room divider, which is part of the brand's Objet Nomades collection. The partition was unveiled in 2017.
"At that time, we wanted to create, from a single hexagonal module, a standing room divider, as well as an entire hanging modular system that could be used as an interior feature for the LV store," said Gabriele Chiave, the design studio's creative director.
The design was informed by Louis Vuitton's iconic monogram
To conceive the module, the studio assessed the qualities comprising the LV brand and zeroed in on its leather craftsmanship – in particular, the leather straps on its iconic bags.
"With these straps, we began to explore shape to create a module," the studio said. "This is how the hexagonal module found in the pattern was created."
"It also refers to the Louis Vuitton star monogram in very elegant and subtle way," the studio added.
It has been dubbed the Diamond Facade
A series of modules were then connected with brass clips, similar to those found on Louis Vuitton bags and trunks, and the Diamond Screen was born.
"To summarise, starting with a bag strap, we created a module, which became a room divider, which then became a broader interior feature, and finally a large-scale architectural facade," the team said.
To construct the building screen, the team used laser-cut metal plates that are welded together. The panels are coloured white, which relates to the character of Miami and gives the store a fresh look, the team said.

Domani Architectural Concepts wraps real-estate centre in China with brick latticework
](https://www.dezeen.com/2022/01/28/domani-architectural-concepts-tic-centre-china/)
Rather than being a flat surface, the screen has a sculptural form, with several projecting window boxes that extend over the sidewalk below. This dynamic shape enhances the pattern and creates a sense of movement, said Chiave.
There is a 30-centimetre gap been the screen and the building's exterior wall, which results in an interesting play of light and shadow.
"When sunlight hits the building, the shadow of the metal facade drops into the wall, creating a shadow effect of the pattern," said Chiave. "This shadow creates a beautiful illusion of depth, or second skin."
At night, the building is brightly illuminated by internal light sources
At night, the building is brightly illuminated by internal light sources, which also produces a sense of depth.
This facade is the latest iteration of the Diamond Screen pattern. Louis Vuitton has used the design as partitions and backdrops in permanent stores and temporary installations.
The store opened in December 2021 during Design Miami
"Because of the essence of this pattern being rooted in the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram, as well as its connection to the beautiful leatherwork of the brand, it has become a relevant symbol for the conceptual visual communication of the brand," said Chiave.
The Miami store is the French fashion house's second freestanding menswear boutique, the other being in Tokyo. The artistic director of Louis Vuitton's menswear line was Virgil Abloh, who died last November of cancer at the age of 41.
Other Louis Vuitton locations include an Amsterdam boutique by UNStudio that
has bricks made of stainless steel and glass, a Seoul shop by Frank Gehry that is topped with sweeping glass "sails", and a Tokyo flagship store by Jun Aoki & Associates that has an undulating, pearlescent facade.

Domani Architectural Concepts wraps real-estate centre in China with brick latticework
Chinese studio Domani Architectural Concepts has completed a real-estate complex in Foshan, Guangdong province, featuring a facade of lattice brickwork overlooking two large circular pools intended to create a "sense of ceremony".
Called the Times I-City or TIC after its developer Times China, the complex was conceived as a "Global Maker Town" containing public showrooms, sales areas and offices alongside a public lounge, bar and children's area.
A brickwork lattice covers this real-estate complex in Foshan
Two blocks wrapped in a brickwork lattice and connected by small walkways contain these spaces, sited along the back of an extensively landscaped site featuring pools, planting, walkways and white, pillow-shaped installations by design studio A&V.
"The landscape, a prelude to the building, emits a magnificent atmosphere," said Domani Architectural Concepts. "Red ceramic bricks were utilised to create a sense of ceremony and provide a clear guide towards the building for people entering the space from different directions."
This porous brick skin wraps an inner envelope of glass
"Meanwhile, the black gravel-paved garden provides a more open and freer area to stop and rest, giving visitors another option for diverse experiences," it continued.
The red brick of this landscape matches the building's facades, which are constructed using a curtain wall system of ceramic brick triangles connected by concealed aluminium fixings.
The external landscaping includes walkways and pillow-shaped installations
This porous brick skin wraps an inner envelope of glass, creating glimpses into the interior during the day and creating a pattern of light from behind the brickwork lattice at night.
After crossing the landscaped area, a series of wide arches at the base of the centre – the largest spanning 29 metres – lead into a large ground-floor atrium. A reception, lounge and coffee bar sit among the exposed steel and concrete structure of the building.

Light fittings informed by clothes lines reference the arched forms of the entrances and are positioned across the space. The lighting outlines areas of tables, which are fitted to tracks that enable them to be moved into different positions.
"The reception area emphasises a transparent boundary between architecture and landscape...the interior materials are directly derived from the architectural elements, bonding between interior and exterior while greatly reducing the construction costs and risks," explained the practice.
Arches open up the base of the building
On the first floor are a series of "sample rooms" displaying various finishes and designs, with the two floors above containing a mixture of offices, meeting rooms and display areas with masterplan models.
These areas are linked by the "valley", a dramatic full-height passageway at the rear of the building containing stairs and lifts, and connecting to the beam bridges between the main building and its annex.
The upper floors contain offices and display areas
Domani Architectural Concepts was established in 2005, and is owned by Domani Group Limited. It focuses on spatial design, corporate planning, business consultancy and product development.
Other recent projects by the firm include the Milan Music Studio at the Zaha Hadid-designed Guangzhou Opera House, which features an interior covered in jumbled wooden panels.

Riparia creates concrete Kokonut building in the Yucatán Peninsula
Riparia Architecture Studio has completed an apartment building in a Mexican resort town that consists of three volumes, one of which has a large screen and "opens like a fan towards the jungle".
The Kokonut building is located in Akumal, a coastal town in the Yucatán Peninsula. It sits within the state of Quintana Roo and is about 30 kilometres north of Tulum.
The Kokonut apartment building is located in Akumal, Mexico
Riparia Architecture Studio, based in Mexico City, was tasked with designing an apartment building for a 1,019-square-metre, irregularly shaped site that is dotted with trees.
In response to the site's geometry and other constraints, the firm conceived a multi-storey building comprising three volumes – a central, trapezoidal mass that is flanked by two rectangular structures. The building totals 1,427 square metres.
Blockwork lattices allow light into circulation spaces
"The two side volumes are symmetrical, and the central one opens like a fan towards the jungle," the architects said.
The building is fronted by a parking area with permeable paving, enabling rainwater to infiltrate the soil below. A slender bridge connects the parking lot to the central volume.
Concrete blocks across the exterior are left unfinished
Precast concrete panels and concrete blocks were used to form the building's exterior walls.
"A strict logic was used for material placement, using only one direction for concrete and the other for cinder block – giving each hierarchy and purity," the team said.
A swimming pool is situated on the building's lowest level
Rather than adding a finish, the materials were left untouched for aesthetic purposes and to reduce maintenance needs.
The street-facing side of the building is largely opaque in order to provide privacy. On the rear facades, long balconies offer tenants the chance to relax outdoors and take in the scenery.
To soften the building's overall appearance, the team lined a stairwell with a lattice-like screen made of blocks.
"This at night is intended to function as a lamp, illuminated with warm light," the team said.
Every unit has its own corridor
The building's unconventional layout enabled every unit to have its own corridor. Moreover, each apartment has two entry doors off the corridor: one leading into the main living area, and the other leading into a guest bedroom.
The separate doors enable the owner to rent out a portion of the unit as a hotel room.
Balconies face the dense jungle
"The central unit, having the room facing the jungle, has a wooden lattice door to control access to the terrace, in case the second bedroom gets rented," the team said.
On the lowest level of the building, the team created a long, rectangular swimming pool and adjacent terrace. Other amenities were placed at the roof garden level.
Guest bedrooms in each unit can be rented out as hotel rooms
Located below the parking lot is a mechanical room, which includes tanks and other equipment needed to store and purify rainwater.
The state of Quintana Roo is known for its sandy beaches, Mayan ruins and oceanfront resorts. Other projects there include BAI-HA, an 18-apartment holiday resort in Tulum that was designed by PPAA.

Delugan Meissl completes Taiyuan Botanical Garden with giant domed greenhouses
Austrian firm Delugan Meissl Associated Architects has completed a botanical garden complex in Taiyuan, China, featuring three domed greenhouses positioned on or alongside an artificial lake.
The Taiyuan Botanical Garden occupies the site of a former coal mine in the Jinyuan district of Taiyuan in northern China, which the client wanted to transform into a landscaped park and museum.
Top image: DMAA has completed Taiyuan Botanical Garden. Above: it comprises three domed greenhouses
Delugan Meissl Associated Architects (DMAA) oversaw the development of the gardens, which included the creation of an artificial landscape featuring hills, lakes, waterfalls, paths and buildings.
The site's centrepiece is a cluster of three domed greenhouses that provide suitable climatic environments for growing plants from different regions.
Walkways wind around the gardens and lake
Taiyuan Botanical Garden also encompasses an entrance building containing a nature museum and administration facility, along with a restaurant, a bonsai museum and a research centre with a library and staff accommodation.
The greenhouses are placed close to the entrance of the landscaped park and are connected by walkways that extend around the lake.
Each of the three domes was built using double-curved laminated timber beams arranged in two or three intersecting layers.
Wooden lattice roofs span the greenhouses
"The construction of the greenhouses required the pooling of technical know-how in the areas of energy design, thermal performance, structural integrity and glazing, as well as assembly and logistics," DMAA pointed out.
"With a free span of over 90 metres, the broadest of the three domes is one of the largest such timber-lattice structures worldwide."
One dome contains a tropical garden
The largest dome contains the tropical garden, while the second pavilion recreates a desert environment. The smallest dome is positioned on the lake and houses a display of aquatic plants.
The greenhouses face south for maximum solar exposure throughout the year. Their timber-grid shell structures are denser on the northern side and more open on the southern side to optimise solar gain.
All three of the domes are glazed with double-curved glass and include openable windows that help to maintain the desired internal climates.
The entrance building is situated close to a main road and contains a lobby and reception area, alongside the natural history museum and other amenities.
A large terrace provides viewpoints across the landscape
A moving walkway that extends through an opening in the entrance building's cantilevered roof transports visitors to a large terrace providing a panoramic view across the park.
Elsewhere on the site, a bonsai museum embedded into the landscape features terraces laid out in concentric circles that incorporate paths, ramps and stairs.
A moving walkway leads visitors through the Taiyuan Botanical Garden
The restaurant and tea house building is positioned on an island in the lake to the south of the entrance and greenhouse. Full-height windows line the open interior, providing views across the water.
This building also features a latticed timber roof structure based on the design of traditional Chinese temples. Stacked wooden beams form a shifted grid that creates a complex geometric pattern.
The bonsai museum is enclosed by terraces
Landscaping across the 182-hectare site was designed by Munich-based firm Valentien+Valentien.
DMAA unveiled the plans for the Taiyuan Botanical Garden in 2016. The Viennese office, which was founded in 1993 by Elke Delugan-Meissl and Roman Delugan, is best known for high-profile cultural projects such as the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The firm's other projects include an angular black concert hall in Erl, Austria, and a prototype for a modular housing unit clad in mirrors to help it blend into the surroundings.

MIA Design Studio creates pavilion designed to look like a giant pile of straw
Architecture office MIA Design Studio has used a delicate lattice of timber battens and metal mesh to create this pavilion for architectural events in Thủ Đức in Vietnam.
Commissioned by built environment media company Ashui, The Straw Pavilion has been designed by local practice MIA Design Studio.
Top: The Straw Pavilion located on the water's edge. Above: the pavilion is nestled within a grassy bank
Thủ Đức is a sub-city in the northeast of Ho Chi Minh City
Set within an area of parkland containing vegetable and fruit gardens alongside a canal, the studio turned to images of rural Vietnam for the form of the pavilion, which is designed to evoke a pile of straw.
A narrow footbridge crosses over the river to the pavilion
"When we first came to the site, we immediately felt the presence of nature here, of various plants and greenery, and the need to assert it throughout our design," said MIA Design Studio.
"We decided to create a structure that can blend itself into its surrounding environment. Straw is an image of memory, one that belongs to the Vietnamese countryside."
MIA Design Studio designed the pavilion to look like a pile of straw
The pavilion sits alongside an existing walkway, which crosses the canal via a thin bridge. The U-shape of the structure wraps around a small area of decking that serves as the platform for events.
While the design initially appears disordered, it is organised according to a grid, with parallel screens of metal mesh creating a skeleton into which wooden battens are slotted and tied perpendicular to one another.
The result is a building that shifts depending on the angle at which it is viewed, both merging with and standing out against the surrounding greenery. Over time, the studio hopes that as the wood weathers the pavilion will further become part of the landscape.
"Straw is an entity that is able to completely blend itself into the natural context," said MIA Design Studio. "By not parading around shapes or materials, we hope that it is able to appear and disappear with time."
The wood and mesh pavilion sits in parkland
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, MIA Design Studio often looks for ways to incorporate nature in its designs.
In Saigon, the practice's Sky House covered a concrete home in protruding planters, and in Vũng Tàu the practice designed a home with plant-lined courtyards.
