‘Siblings Or Dating’ Instagram Account Is Becoming Some People’s Favorite New Game (67 Pics)

It's no surprise if similar features run in the family—genes take care of that. But "Alabama jokes" aside, how do you explain it when strangers who decide to engage in romantic relationships look like long-lost twins? Perhaps you spend so much time with each other you start to look alike, or you like your reflection in the mirror a little too much and choose someone similar to date?

A viral Instagram account called "Siblings or Dating?" turned this idea into a very entertaining game for bored Instagram people. The account which has been around since July makes 249k followers guess whether two people are related or dating based solely on one photo and the game is super addictive! The account creates a poll in the stories where people cast their votes before the truth is revealed 24 hours later. And the truth often is a little surprising, to say the least. Turns out, it's not that easy. Even if you think you know, you might want to look again as the answer is not always what it seems!

So let's play a game that might quickly become your new favorite lockdown entertainment! Spoiler alert: you might be wrong most of the time. How many did you get right? What gave it away? Let us know in the comments!

Design Miami
28 November to 6 December

For its 16th edition, the Design Miami fair will supplement its regular programme with a new curated exhibition series called Podium, in which pieces of collectable design and craft will be not just on display but also for sale.

In the wake of a tumultuous year in US history and the divisive 2020 election, the showcase will highlight pieces that question what it means to be American, from a 19th-century Navajo tribe textile to ceramics by Puerto Rican "ghetto potter" Roberto Lugo.

World Architecture Festival
30 November to 4 December

The WAF is going virtual this year, with a series of talks, panel discussions and special prize ceremonies being live-streamed for free.

Speakers including UNStudio's Ben Van Berkel, Archigram founder Peter Cook and Jeanne Gang of Chicago firm Studio Gang will discuss everything from recent technical innovations to the ever-present topic of how we can learn to live with pandemics.

Contemporary Istanbul

Gold inflatable house for Mars designed by Hugh Broughton Architects and Pearce+

Hugh Broughton Architects and Pearce+ are creating Martian House, an inflatable building in Bristol, England, that will explore what an extraterrestrial house for life on Mars could look like.

The house,  a collaboration with local artists as part of the ongoing art project Building a Martian House, is set over two levels, with the lower level designed to be built below the ground of the red planet.

The upper level will be made from a gold inflatable formwork, which is being developed by specialists Inflate.

Top and above: the Martian House will go on display in Bristol

On Mars it would be filled with regolith – Martian soil and rock – to reduce "cosmic and galactic radiation" although the team will have to settle for more terrestrial materials in Bristol.

"Inflate are still developing the designs, but it will likely be a ripstop nylon fabric with a gold coating externally," architects Hugh Broughton and Owen Pearce told Dezeen.

"The gold is important for dissipating heat into the thinner atmosphere on Mars. For future use on Mars, a new polymer might need to be developed that is light enough to be transported to the red planet."

"The regolith within is set using biological solidification – the regolith becomes bonded using microbes and forms essentially Martian concrete. The inflatable formwork remains as a seal and final surface."

One of the house's two levels will be below ground

Although it will be displayed above ground, Martian House's lower level will be designed to be fully buried to maximise protection, and would likely be made of reused rocket components.

"On Mars, it would occupy one of the maze of lava tubes which run beneath the Martian surface," the architects explained.

"The life support systems would be reused from spacecraft manufactured on Earth to ensure quality control."

Inside, the architects envisioned the house would feature a hydroponic living room filled with decorative plants that could feed into a circular wastewater system that is currently being developed with Hydrock.

Artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent conceived of the project

Hugo Broughton Architects is used to creating designs for challenging environments, as it has previously worked on projects including a research station in Antarctica, and both it and Pearce+ have experience of designing for space.

"Whether working on these extraterrestrial projects or in the polar regions, there are are many similarities in approach," said the designers.

"We need to make ergonomic space in the least volume possible; minimise the impact on the environment through the application of technology to reduce waste, energy consumption and water demand; protect the crew from the hostile external environment, whether that's wind-driven ice or solar radiation, and consider the well-being of the crew, isolated from home for many months, even years, at a time," they added.

Martian House, which will be installed in Bristol for five months in 2022, was conceived by local artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent.

They have brought together experts, including scientists and engineers, as well as the general public to create new visions for life on Earth and on Mars.

IKEA also looked at living conditions on Mars when it redesigned the living pod on the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, US, while BIG is working with NASA to develop 3D-printed buildings for the moon.

Martian House will be on show outside the M Shed museum in Bristol from April 2022 to August 2022. See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.
