From iPads to tower blocks, mending more and destroying less is critical to making western economies sustainable, but while the EU’s new Right to Repair rules could force Apple to make its devices more repairable, architecture faces a far bigger challenge. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I wrote about the importance of repair for the Guardian discussing the EU's new Right to Repair rules, the ticking time bomb in many British new builds that are not designed with refurbishment in mind, and my old Nokia 3210. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Activists have occupied the front of City Hall demanding more refurbishment rather than demolition of the capital's social housing, pitching tents outside the mayor's office late last night. More via the Architecture of Repair instagram here: instagram.com/p/C6VmikBsmV2/…
Housing activists have occupied the front of London's City Hall to demand that Peabody refurbishes, rather than demolishes, the Lesnes Estate.

Perhaps the oldest continuous process of architectural restoration, the two sides of the Jingu Shrine in Mei Prefecture, Japan are rebuilt one after the other in an epic cyclical ritual every twenty years which began in 690AD #ArchitectureOfRepair instagram.com/p/C6N5XdTMUOP
"Breaking"
When does an act of repair transform a building into new architecture? Here in Lavrio a steel exoskeleton and roof were added to a crumbling stone building to protect the structure from collapse. An act of temporary preservation or a radical reimagining? instagram.com
Lush day of crits at Kingston uni for @thombrisco and @aoife_ni_d with flying visit from @ClancyAndrew too. Having had to turn down pretty much every crit invite while CEO of Open City, it feels so good to be able to spend proper time in architecture schools again. 💛

Does anyone have a broken or beat up wooden coat stand I could repair?!
When installing an extractor duct, contractors accidentally shattered a pane of glass. Rather than replace the pane, staff laser cut this acrylic explosive shape and used it to conceal cracks where they glued the glass back together. #ArchitectureOfRepair instagram.com/p/C6GOevRNTct
But we must cut benefits, and chase carers who have received slightly too much. I'm amazed those that resent those poor souls who get here being given any support are the same 'cheering' spending £1.8m on each. What have we become?
