No pls. Young architects don’t need more training. They don’t need any form of mentorship. Why are architects living in denial? Why? Aren’t they human beings as well? Can’t you see how unhappy and trapped our young graduates are?! #IsYouBlind?

With #COP27 now in the rearview mirror, every milestone on the road ahead matters. Our Executive Secretary Simon Stiell urges countries to keep their eye on 2030 – by then, the world needs to have cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 45% in order to limit warming to 1.5°C.

Yes, I think the hashtag here pretty much sums it up.

Incase you are still under the impression you live in a free country, worth following the progress of the Insulate Britain protestors in court. They've been gagged from talking about the thing that they are protesting to highlight. insulatebritain.com/2023/03/31/bre…

Yes—had an appalling experience today, neurodiverse student criticised for one window being poorly orientated. No discussion of their design method or actual ideas. This mode of criticism, often learnt at the elite schools, trashes the idea of a diverse and equitable profession.

Worth remembering what Goldsmith said about climate protests: "disruptive protest groups such as Extinction Rebellion are absolutely right and the pressure they exert does work. There is a real anxiety that we are heading towards a cliff and we’re not doing enough."

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT Prof. Eliot Jacobson

This is totally amazing when you think about it—all the hallmarks of a 60s megastructure.

Truly deserved a groundbreaking thesis.

Architecture practices sticking in 6% fees on £100k refurb projects (all riba stages) is part of the reason we have an existential earnings crisis in the architecture profession.
