[Matt Stevenson @MattStevens0n]

We delivered our 1st @EcosystemsT #Temporaryclassroom to Hiltingbury Junior School in August. Manufactured from our homegrown mass timber (CLT, NLT and GLT) this will provide a rich biophillic learning environment for students whilst we retrofit the main #SCOLA school building

@tomforster2010 @rosieabeast Agree - #Skateboobs are great. It's how I got started last Summer.

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@rosieabeast @StaceyHunterEdi Might be a Saturday sesh on the cards. Will DM you!

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@rosieabeast Not sure if I can teach you much but I’d be happy to be a woman falling over in public with you. Got a tiny crew of women in their 30s/40s forming +more who’ve approached me saying they wanna try (thanks @StaceyHunterEdi )

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@bobby_jewell Loving this. Lost track of the playlist though whilst I was drawing away. What's the piece with the autoharp in it? Or am I imagining things?

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@YoungScot What’s the best thing to do with a YS card I found on the street? I tried to two closest schools but it doesn’t belong to a pupil there.

Some incredible shots of wildlife in the #AstleyAinslie from Tom @gowildedinburgh, kindly shared at the @AstleyAinslieCT SGM tonight. The creatures don't necessarily live there - might just be passing through = shows how important green/blue corridors are

[Architype @ArchitypeUK]

Hackbridge Primary School is officially the UK's first Passivhaus Plus school.

It's the latest Architype project to achieve certification to #Passivhaus, and goes even further to reduce embodied carbon to net zero: generating more energy than it uses.

[Natasha Huq Architect @NatashaHuq]

Excited to be co-presenting with @Kevin_McCloud on tonight’s episode of @granddesigns The Streets on C4 at 9pm. Watch it to see Jo and Ben’s amazing timber framed self-build in Glasgow!

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@prosocialplace How about sketching those places or skateboarding in them to better understand them…any ‘hobbies’ like that?!?

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

Architects, what are your ‘hobbies’ and do they inform your practice as an Architect??

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@DonachieJack Thought you might like to see Advice Bar and another work (?) featured in Kacper’s 1:100 section, Strathclyde Uni 1st Year. Last tutorial today. Hand-in next week ✏️

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@LockhartL @mrandysummers Def try Soroban. I think it’s Fiona…

@lucymstewart Oh woops. Tweeting without glasses. Thumbs hoping that content should always be contextual

[Akiko Kobayashi @AkikoMaK]

@lucymstewart Whatever on earth context design is, let’s put it on our list of things to have a meaty chat about when we next hang out ;) I’d love to understand the specificity of it

GENUINE QUESTION: What is the best way to describe an architect gentleman?
