The brilliant Romy Rawlings Vestre joins us next week for a workshop exploring: How does the shape of a bench impact the likelihood of someone sitting down? What is the latest research telling us about how design can bring people with different support needs together?

I can't wait to bring this hands-on workshop with @NickTyler4 and Cannon Ivers to the Festival. Do join us for a series of live experiments and share your thoughts on which bench makes you feel happiest!

A fantastic session, with fantastic learnings, and I'm going to be quoting you (or Mr Whyte?) for some time...! Thank you both so much for you time and knowledge sharing. Finally, the humble bench is taking centre stage.

Dear BBC News (UK), despite BBC’s top nature progs, BBC online rarely reports on the nature crisis. You even ignored today’s huge #RestoreNatureNow March (though you ran stories on Taylor Swift & ‘world’s ugliest dog’). Please fix your biodiversity news blind spot, for all our sakes.
