Only just realising in terms of shading the design is totally flawed. All CGIs show a low sun angle with the side walls supposedly reflecting the sun and protecting the interior. In reality the high midday sun would just turn the middle into a heat trap furnace.

Head gardener Daven Hastings created a 500m meadow strip on Millfields park for the #hackneybuzzline. He brought in 68 children from nearby @MandevillePS school and Forest Grove school to help create habitat for pollinators so they can say: "Hey, I did that!'" @hackneycouncil
It is hard to believe the utter vandalism of returning this to the car dominated mess it was. If you’re still on the fence in this debate just look at these videos and understand this is what ‘SEJ’ and others are arguing for. Just awful.

1/ 🧵to mark #IWD2024, a short tribute to some female architects of 1960s public housing. First up, Kate Macintosh and the incomparable Dawson's Heights Estate she designed for Southwark Borough Council aged just 28 in 1966.
I put up a mini-site today at citydensity.com to help you compare the world’s cities. You can see how many people live near a city, or use my favourite metric: "population weighted density" to get an accurate measure of how dense a city is to live in.
Happy Sunday 3 March, just a reminder that this morning 11am-12.30pm you have a rare chance to see inside one of the flats. Ask for Paul, he will ask for a donation to the trust and show you around. The gallery is open until 4pm as usual and is free, and we have a new exhibition.

London no-go zones: a definitive guide Finchley. You've seen it there on the map, just north of Hampstead. But have you ever been there? Do you know anyone who lives there? No you do not.

I am by no means a particularly politically 'radical' person, in a wider context, but this tweet brings up a feeling I've had for quite a while now, which is that there's a lot of people in academia who talk a good game about being 'radical' but are clearly just making their way
There is no better illustration of the limits of liberalism than the fact that the author of this book has locked us all out of our campus and surrounded it with cops.
