Their controversial redevelopment of Whitechapel Bell Foundry has just gone into planning, I caught up with 31/44 Architects directors Will and Stephen recently to chat about growing and getting known. Here they are - it was fun! #London #architecture ribaj.com/intelligence/p…

The clincher that won the Dutch bid to relocate the EMA from London to Amsterdam was the promise of this sparkling new HQ to be built within 2 years. Last week I interviewed lead architect Fokke van Dijk on how it's managed it so quickly #Brexit ribaj.com/intelligence/q…

One of the best buildings I've seen this year so far? It's a Costco in Stevenage. Don't believe me? Read about it here: ribaj.com/buildings/tech… Broadway Malyan

My review from when I visited Ghost House, up for #RIBAHouseoftheYear and on Channel 4 right now. It had a big uphill struggle with the planners ribaj.com/buildings/ghos…

June @VeloBirmingham cancelled - no refund, no postponement, no free 2021 entry. Apparently in T&Cs but there's little goodwill in this statement. Sounds like they can't be f-ed & are trousering the money (est £1.5m from riders) #coronaprofiteering Cycling UK British Cycling

When the history of coronavirus is written it'll include the phrase: 'Lockdown officially ended the day everyone found out that Dominic Cummings drove 250 miles to have a pint milk left on his doorstep' #sackCummings #backbonelessBoris

Change took too long in Bristol & was obstructed at Oriel College Oxford as well in 2016. It had to come sooner or later, one means or another. Debates about statues have been whirling for years &aren't that complex as Madge Dresser for RIBAJ set out #BLM ribaj.com/culture/rhodes…

One of my favourite quotes for a long time, it's from Friedrich Ludewig of ACME: 'Social distancing was well practised in most shops before the virus arrived, because stores were already rather empty.' More genius contained here ribaj.com/intelligence/p…

Is this just about the coolest dental studio you've ever seen? Yeh I think so... Of course it's in badass Marseille, designed by Marret & Fernandez. My review here: ribaj.com/buildings/marr…

And I was only just admiring RSHP's Cancer Center at Guy's a few hours ago, enjoying the porthole windows and zooming ductwork across the back... Sadly Richard Rogers died yesterday too. One of the greatest careers in architecture and legacy of buildings ribaj.com/culture/lord-r…

Looks new but isn't... A few weeks ago I was in South Tyrol visiting a revamped chalet turned design hotel by MoDus Architects. Alpine tourism presents many climate challenges but this project was a refreshing more sustainable approach that's worth a Tweet ribaj.com/buildings/modu…
