@themetresgained It’s hard to be still around all these accelerationist.

@AntonyGreenElec NZ will wake up to an overhang hangover tomorrow.

@econoadabsurdam You could say the same of someone whose tree they’re planting is a business. The big worry at the moment is whether it will just fund growth spending or will fund deep tax reform.

@OS_Architects @leedslivenews @LeedsNews @HomesEngland @mtpennycook It’s lovely.

@_colourmeamused Gaurdsman is a good spot to have a pint when you miss your train, or when you just want to miss your train. All central stations should have pubs in them.

we were supposed to keep building houses like this forever and just get better at plumbing and insulation

Amazing that Andrew Carnegie, 130 years ago, built 2,500 libraries, Carnegie Hall, and Carnegie Mellon. He invested $50M in today's dollars to build the Peace Palace in The Hague, in a country he was not from and did not live in.

Shouldn't there be a Musk Hall, Bezos Auditorium, or Zuckerberg Cathedral everywhere? What are these boys doing with all that money?

I’ve been in London Fields tonight, watching the first ever Lime Bike joust - here’s a thread of my best shots:

@db_econ Should have a narrow building along that wall to activate it, maybe with a collonade, and trees among the north side.

[Dominic Kelly @RigaDimd]

@fictillius Worth trying their semillon too.

[Dominic Kelly @RigaDimd]

@fictillius Very good vineyard.

[Dominic Kelly @RigaDimd]

@pleasedontatme Should be vegetated on the north with pavilions for cafes, a screen on the north, a big fountain for cooling and white noise to dull the traffic , and a collonade on the south which contains bars and restaurants to bring activity to the edge. Designing squares is not complex…

@bykemp The Bain of your life.

[Samuel Hughes @SCP_Hughes]

Putting a facade on a prefab concrete block in the former east Berlin. The underlying structure is unaltered; instead, the architects have:

- Given it a coat of plaster;
- Painted it in varying colours;
- Broken up the massing with some clever tricks to the window and roofline detailing.

Look closely: the floor height remains continuous and the windows are all in the same places as before. The effect of spontaneity and variety is created by using ornament create patterns of group and emphasis.

@PeugeotRichard Arvalstis… no Austrumu puslodes, proti, Austrālijas. 👍🏼

@PhilipThalis @PhilipThalis have we regulated away the feeling of being fully human, or just costed it out? Keen for your musings.

[Dominic Kelly @RigaDimd]

@PhilipThalis Safety regulations don’t help. Anyone who’s dealt with window repairs and upgrades on a desirable older apartment building from which nobody will fall knows we’re making it harder to gain the benefits of large openable windows. Not as bad as the UK, but not helpful.

@piparkucina Daugava will mean fewer walls and fences. Fortunate Latgale will finally get some economic and population growth.
