The deliberate and ritually-circumscribed planning of ancient Thimi stands in stark contrast to the haphazard and mostly unregulated construction of roads across the nation. @markturin reviews a new book on Thimi.

NY Lotz first came to Nepal almost 50 years ago with a Danish Architect team. They did an extensive survey of #Bungamati in 1968.

Have we done risk assessment for our Museums?
20 million objects were lost in the fire at the National Museum, Brazil.
The loss is irreplaceable.

Have we assessed any risk from fire, earthquake or flood yet?
