Great weekend at Fenham Pocket Park - fantastic exchange of ideas about social and climate futures at the first Fenham Futures Parliament hosted by AUP @NewcastleUniAPL 3rd year students. Community members shared wishes and desires for the area + temp reuse of nearby closed pool!

Great opening yesterday of the exhibition “Close The Door On Past Dreariness”. Powerful photographs by Damien Wootten on the current homeless crisis in Newcastle. Stories of real people who live close to us yet invisible and accepted as the ‘norm’. At Newcastle Art Centre:

Working at the intersection of design, ethnography and urban planning disciplines, the paper explores the potential of nature-based micro-interventions as examples of creative methods in tackling placelessness in city-edge office-parks 2/2

Delighted that our paper ‘From non-place to place in post-suburbia: city-edge office parks as loci for nature-based micro- interventions’ co-authored w A Schoneboom, G Vigar and @ATardiveau @APLNewcastle has been published in the Journal of Environmental Planning & Management 1/2

We can fight this pandemic only through a change in our life styles, solidarity and hopefully a stronger sense of citizenship. Be kind to each other, be respectful of physical distancing and don’t stock pile. Remember immune system needs fresh fruit and vegs... not toilet paper

Great to be involved in temporary urban interventions by KU Leuven University students in Mortsel (Antwerp). We painted poetry on walls, leaves on the road and handed out apples to drivers to reconsider biodiversity in the city. Very inspiring action research debate and practice

[Daniel Mallo @danielmallo_ncl]

Very inspiring two days exploring with students at KU Leven ethical dilemmas in action research. Enlightening discussions around positionality, power, instrumentality and conflicts of interest

Florian Beigel dies, aged 76 https://t.co/sOUr0zb2xV Devastated to hear that Florian Beigel has passed away. A great loss for the arch&education community. Florian introduced me to his architectural thinking while working for him and later as a friend. He will be sorely missed
