this absolutely bangs imho. stunned because i'm used to this stuff being horrid. Clearly capable of supporting a distinctive and striking system with a range of high impact and vibrant applications. Works with motion and in silhouette. Whoever did this, chapeau

➡️ BREAKING ➡️

The Danish capital Copenhagen 🇩🇰 is looking to ban ALL cars 🚗 with combustion engines from the city by 2030 ‼️

On Friday, all local governing parties agreed on a resolution to pave the way.

This is how you create a city for people 💪

Lovely thread

Happy birthday #TateModern! 🎈🎁🎂

Since first opening in 2000, Tate Modern has become quite the London landmark, not just for the art, but also for the architecture of the building itself.

Let’s take a look behind the art to see the fabric of Tate Modern, old and new. 👀 🧵

[Rory Johnson @RoryGVFJohnson]

Agreed, lots of great takeaways for any Landscape Architect's in here.

🚨 Today, we’re launching our Social Value Index, a new tool for modelling the social and economic benefits of community-led developments 🚨

We need alternative models of development & regeneration: which distribute the benefits within local communities.

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution.

Now they are models of sustainable urban planning.

Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars.

[Paolo Pedercini 🥶 @molleindustria]

I watched Russia 1985–1999: TraumaZone, the latest series by Adam Curtis - and possibly his best work.
It's about the Soviet Union's collapse and rapid transition to the purest form of capitalism...

With no land life, 500m yrs ago mosses evolved from sea algae to be the 1st land plants. Disaggregating CO2 by photosynthesis, releasing oxygen&organic acids that absorbed CO2 to breakdown rocks for food. Removing 20xatmospheric CO2 bringing on an ice&mass extinction of sea life

“And of all the arguments in favour of the four-day week, I’d say the crucial one is the most numinous sounding – hope.

We have become so used to the idea that things can only get worse. Why can’t things improve?”
