@ShaunCarter70 @michaelkoziol @smh The alarm is understandable. The article talks about 5000 new homes in Cherrybrook. That was horse paddocks when I was a kid. This speed of change is massive and quality of most new builds so bad trust is low

I would so love to see this exhibition

I think the Tropical Modernism at the V&A show terrific, so many fascinating buildings and a revelatory exercise in uncovering the Ghanaian & Indian architects who used architectural Modernism in nationalist programmes. Go!

@Arch_Historian Thanks for posting- what an interesting contribution from a humble person!

@normanswan The pro-oxidation effects of high levels of vitamin C you refer to are only found with IV infusion. Very misleading to suggest supplements are doing anything like that

We are not far off the same change in sentiment for 1960s and 70s red brick flats.

An excellent article on the fears of apartments sprouting up in 1930’s Sydney….

And how those apartments are now some of the most desirable places to live in the city

@PhilipThalis @cityofsydney Belmore Park too! Poor @cityofsydney parks department - what a nightmare

[Rebecca Hawcroft @PplPlaceStories]

@HillThalisAUP @SydneyYIMBY That’s not quite true. North shore has seen rezoning around single heritage items that results in this island effect.

@AdrianBennay @MatthewEvansFPF Apparently we can’t “process” the oats for oat milk in Australia so oats are shipped out and then brought back again 🤯

[Rebecca Hawcroft @PplPlaceStories]

@PhilipThalis Well at least there will no heritage issues in the future here 😬

[Rebecca Hawcroft @PplPlaceStories]

@PhilipThalis @artspace With heritage advice and conservation works by @GmlHeritage 👍🏼

Nice to talk to @smh about the legacy of Italian inventor Dante Bini in NSW schools.

@PhilipThalis @IWCouncil Thank you for this example of a heritage item both changing and providing housing. The YIMBY lie that heritage listing means nothing changes is very frustrating

Central redevelopment just gets better and better- new scheme includes developing over Central’s entire rail yard, as well as Prince Alfred Park! https://t.co/P92kHIaPjW

Oh dear… @docomomouk

Great photo. Sad the interior didn’t even make it to 50!
