The South Korean action blockbuster , also known as The Roundup 2 (as it is the direct follow-up to the 2022 smash hit), has become a major sensation for international audiences, particularly in India. This third installment in the "Beast Cop" franchise brings back the indomitable Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee) in his signature role as Detective Ma Seok-do. Movie Overview & Cast
Released in 2023, the film follows Detective Ma Seok-do seven years after his previous mission in Vietnam. He joins a new Metropolitan Investigation Team to dismantle a dangerous synthetic drug ring. Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee) as Ma Seok-do.
Lee Jun-hyuk plays the corrupt cop Joo Sung-cheol, and Japanese actor Munetaka Aoki portrays the lethal Yakuza assassin Ricky. Director: Lee Sang-yong. Plot Summary
The story centers on the investigation of a murder case that reveals a connection to a new, high-potency synthetic drug called "Hiper". Detective Ma finds himself caught in a three-way war between his police squad, a corrupt narcotics officer profiting from the trade, and a Japanese Yakuza group sent to reclaim their stolen drugs. The film is celebrated for its "one-punch" action choreography and the lighthearted humor that balances its gritty crime themes. "The Roundup 2" vs. Part 3
While technically the third film in the series (following The Outlaws and The Roundup ), many fans refer to it as "The Roundup 2" due to its English titling sequence. The Roundup (2022) The Roundup: No Way Out (2023) The Roundup: Punishment (2024)
When designing, we need to be in touch with the various spaces we use. After all, we are not termites -- who live inside built matter of the walls. An architect is quite interested in knowing how the spaces are inter-related, and whether they
would work for our users. The walls come as a bye-product of having made these spaces.
TAD respects such an approach. That is why it is very easy to start designing directly in TAD itself. It is like having a scratch pad handy.
But if you think this is just a bubble diagramming too ... well, it is not. You can even create the entire model; including the built matter that is present in the building.
What it does NOT do is drafting. For that, you can easily export from TAD and use the regular CAD software that you were using earlier.
The adjoining photo shows the internal stack through the tiny row-house.
The west wall has a bit of glass blocks. It not just lights up the space
but it drives the air inside the stack. This is a intricate vertical space
that goes through the row house to provide ventilation -- all modelled
inside TAD
TAD helps you iteratively design. Like a potter at work. At any point in time, you can extract objective information such as areas, distances and so on. What is the point of designing a building only to realize at the final stages that some
mathematical criteria was not right?
This capability of querying into the design is very powerful. TAD has a built in language called "ARDELA" (ARchitectural DEsign LAnguage) That can be used to create add-ons to provide additional querying functionality. These add-ons probe into
your model and provide you answers.
We would be releasing a marketplace for these probes -- and also a simple way for you to write your own probes too
The adjoining photo, a small gazebo kind of space was carved out on the
terrace on one part of the split-level in the rowhouse. An ARDELA area
add-on (probe) did all the calculations. We were then confident that we
can get that semi-enclosed space, without it being counted by the municipality
(in India, these area calculations are known as FSI calculations)
Over 3 million of actual built projects done over last 30 years. (From the office that created TAD) Scores of unbuilt ones

For far too long, we architects have not asked ourselves how we may do a better job in this world. Instead we just relied on some outside expertise and hand-me-downs. Let us rise and think for ourselves.
