We are a multi-scale design studio led by Annie Coggan + Caleb Crawford. Our mission is to craft inventive environments + objects that tell compelling stories.

I like taking the NYC ferry. But they just changed their fees, 10 rides for $27.50 or 1 for $4. This doesn't help it's elitist image. Yes it dings the tourists but it makes it harder for those who can't afford 10 rides at once. @NYCferry

The results of NY 10th CD where 25% took the nomination is why we need ranked choice voting in all elections, not just local.

Oh well. Yes, carbon capture and sequestration is a waste of money. If we go on the theory that we have scarcity, we should only pay for the most effective things. CCS ain't one of those things. https://t.co/BiUwhgUqPm

wow, @FedEx really doesn't care about its customers. Can't retrieve a user name, can't reset password, but absolutely no human help available. Why? Because f@%k you.

[@chairs+buildings @ChairsBuildings]

@FedEx is a joke. Waited all day for a package. Notification "not delivered." Maybe try ringing the bell? Totally pissed.

More electric transmission lines or more distributed power (like solar)? It is framed as an either/or, but it is actually a "both/and." https://t.co/42VeuxmDGV

[@chairs+buildings @ChairsBuildings]

Upgrading the grid for electrification could cost hundreds of billions. That's why we need as much distributed energy as possible. Reduce centralization. #gosolar https://t.co/tV4sQC3eQM

This is another example where the environmental services provided are not included on the balance sheet. Environmental services are not externalities, and need to be included in economic calculations. Programs like @GreenCityForce need to be expanded.

STOP BURNING STUFF! Good @billmckibben in the @NewYorker 1M electricians needed in the US to transition from burning stuff. https://t.co/kWGmpWuudf

Excited to be talking about sustainability in the interior design curriculum at Pratt. We all need to step up our game. https://t.co/8dwJtr3Tyo

Wow, @BillNye how disappointing. How about a big apology and maybe donate all the past royalties? https://t.co/K12NuiDMFH

@mollygos I love that there's an archaeology site under the supermarket. I also like your reference to Das Racist - not many people know that song.

@NYCMayor @NYCSanitation @nycemergencymgt It would be nice if @NYCSanitation came to Red Hook again. Streets and intersections are covered, cars and trucks are getting stuck, and really hard for pedestrians to cross streets. This tweet is nice PR but doesn't reflect reality.
