A long overdue "thank you" to @TheGBIorg for their #GreenGlobes branded bike, which @NORR_AEP won via raffle during their #CustomerAppreciationWeek! We finally have a sunny weekend day to test drive it, and like the rating system, it handles brilliantly!

Tenants in full glass +$million-homes, built after @Tate extension, win in court because we can see into their homes... Next, they'll want to gate off #Thames! @RIBA_London petition to keep the platform open. Best FREE views of #London, not just for rich

A thought provoking read on the role/#ethics of #smartbuildings - something taken for granted but not regularly addressed in great depth within architectural discourse.

Check out this article revealing the secret ingredient for long-lasting, self-healing Roman concrete. This could hold insight for today's #builders to promote #sustainability/#resiliency as we seek #CarbonReduction solutions to tackle the #ClimateCrisis!

Check out this interactive map of all @Living_Future registered & certified projects, to date. It's amazing to see the idea of a #LivingFuture catching on & how far it's come in just over a decade!

Sharing this great read from @ArchitectsJrnal on how @FCBStudios refurbished two buildings on the @BRE_Group campus (incl. their own 96' project) to promote cost-effective, practical solutions for #sustainability, #circularity & #existingbuildings.

Came across this interesting read this morning, while I was simultaneously dreaming of a European vacation and a net-zero world...

I just learned about this online resource promoting #ArchitecturalSalvage, #MaterialsReuse, #Circularity & more. What an amazing database connecting the dots so #EmbodiedCarbon can be easily reduced & so that perfectly good products avoid landfilling!
