Wooden towers, robotic hands, and a tattoo that means something

There's a moment in the latest Dezeen Weekly where the conversation pivots from timber towers to a tattoo, and honestly, that's the kind of whiplash we live for. Tom Ravenscroft and Nat Barker dig into whether building tall with wood is genuine innovation or just a very tall gimmick, and they land somewhere delightfully complicated. Then there's a robotic hand that feels less like a prototype and more like a prop from a film that hasn't been made yet. It's the kind of leap that makes sci-fi feel impatient. And yes, the editor's new ink has a story worth circling back for. If you're hungry for more pocket-sized ingenuity, our roundup of phones with robot arms scratches that itch nicely. Stay spooty.
