Today is the anniversary of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence. Whilst police and social reform is still greatly needed, I’m honoured that The London School of Architecture is working with Baroness Lawrence for his legacy in architectural education, bringing positive change from such tragic loss.

Pretty appalled by the comments on London on today’s Start the Week on BBC Radio 4.

One ‘expert’ claimed that the view of St Paul’s is the “only one piece of strategic planning that London has.”

Barmy!

'81 per cent of Londoners think that public toilet provision in their borough is bad. 9/10 Londoners have considered public toilet provision before making a journey to a particular place, and more than half say they sometimes reduce the amount they drink before leaving home.'

I got told off for taking this photo and lingering in the street. I hope it was worth it.

also enjoyed comments from Elizabeth Beattie on her experience in Shibuya’s gold standard loos 😀 as Olly Wainwright suggests we’ve lost our way in London- a design competition would change this NLA LDN Collective Nicholas Boys Smith Matt Bell #publictoiletsarepublichealth

So good to hear ⁦Olly Wainwright⁩ talk to ⁦Evan Davis⁩ about the quality of public loos in Japan vs the UK (skip to 00:51:30). This is something the ⁦London Society⁩ cares deeply about and will continue to campaign on. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Who’s going to pay me to organise exhibitions like this? OBVIOUSLY I’m not a curator but I know some really good ones. I’m happy just to do the boring bits around the edges.

This is next Wednesday people. This is not a drill!!!

Hmmm, I’m not sure I’m ok with this. I get that AI is going to become more and more a part of working life but is there a need to allow it into a drawing competition right now? Surely that’s still a place to celebrate human creativity.

If you have age-related stories from practice, come down and share them with me and our experts at the next Negroni Talk on Tuesday 23 April.
