Feeling a deep well of sadness. One of my favorite moments was a long conversation Sebastião was so generous to have with me for @ArchReview's research on trees back in 2021. I want to think the largeness of his spirit is with them now. @InstitutoTerra_

"There is so much disingenuously left out of Ratti’s technotopic vision that should be part of the conversation, present as a huge blind spot." If you read one review of the Venice Architecture Biennale make it @RecessedSpace's https://t.co/lXAK2LvQwe

95% of Olympic competition is about who has the money to invest in their athletes. Every poor country winning a medal is an incredible triumph against the odds.

Hats off to @AnjliRaval and @joshspero for pursuing this story so thoroughly. I hope it encourages other victims of powerful, abusive architects to share their experiences. Adjaye is by no means alone https://t.co/XI1rQRo6lb

@AnjulieRao Yes!

I truly believe that architecture biennales are infinitely more interesting than arts biennales, because architecture, now, is still an open field of debate and doubt, while art is almost just market.

Sickening to hear this from the curator of this year's Venice Biennale, Lesley Lokko – large numbers of participants from Africa have been denied visas to attend:

So important to have better designed cycle paths especially in intersections with TRAMLINES, which can trap bike wheels. Basel is a city where I commute on bike regularly and so many close calls, not the easiest for new cyclists!

@klausdodds It’s a 60s print from Emil Schulthess, swiss photojournalist (we used him in the book which i how i knew it was a great deal!) - of scientists taking readings in Antarctica. Originally sent to the Chicago Sun Newspaper for an article on Antarctica’s experiments 🔬

[Sabrina Syed @SabrinaSyed]

So sad to hear this. David contributed so generously and selflessly when we worked with him for a book despite us being architects outside the scientific orbit - it’s not hard to imagine this was how he did everything. A huge loss to the Antarctic community.

It is with deep sorrow we report the death of Emeritus Fellow, Professor David Vaughan.  He was suffering from cancer and passed away peacefully at home on Thursday 9 February 2023.
