@considineinfo Nice. With my cafe lurking in the background for context. :-)

@MisterJez Ha ha. Decided to open twitter again after a year or so away and this was the first tweet I saw. :-)

@mikey3982 Thank you Mike. Passivhaus and renewable energy for transport are the clear winners here. With the former becoming less of a premium as the industry increases its experience.

@Ian_Barnard @hrej_si @LoveGoodtype Unfortunately the dog passed away. The family are now sans serif.

@BandQ I have just bought the macallister 1200 plunge saw. The box contained these two items but I can’t see any explanation of what they are for. Are they needed for safe operation of the saw? Pic attached.

Favourite quote of the day?

“That’s the thing with history. It’s been going on for ages”. 🙂

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

@BarnabasCalder Interesting - I thought Historic England would have (wrongly) prevented that. Very encouraging. I tried arguing it with them, saying that had the technology at the time existed, the building would have featured it. Didn’t get me far. :-)

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

@BarnabasCalder @FT Yes, all very convenient and easy. A gesture, but not yet the solution.

@BarnabasCalder @WHurst1 @ollywainwright @RowanMoore @edwinheathcote We now use our revit models combined with OneClick plug-in to itemise every last piece of carbon. We then compare that with our renewables to ensure we are climate positive. The problem tends to come from the PVs being heavy in carbon themselves.

@tw_people @KarenSeagrave @BarnabasCalder Ah yes, that’s where it all started for me. Fabulous book. You’ll enjoy that.

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

Birthday treats from @KarenSeagrave - looking forward to reading this. A topic that is central to all my designs and written by the eminent @BarnabasCalder

@KarenSeagrave @tw_people @BBCRadioKent @ThisisDavina @Maxim_PR @KSCourier 47,000 tweets? Hang on, who were the other 17,000 tweets to?! :-) xx

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

@GlastoFestFeed @tomwilliamsuk @phoebe_bridgers @goldfrapp plus @StevieWonder in the legend slot.

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

@EveAinsworth Yes. Unfortunately that’s exactly what I’m suffering with. Felt fine in Xmas day and the day after then wham! Dropped badly again last night. Evil bug.

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

Did you know there’s a free info service on all things sustainable? https://t.co/ei8TarM455 - give it a try and actually, why not sign up to their membership while you’re at it? It’s a group that really makes a difference to a world in real need. #sustainability

[James Galpin @jimjam_arch]

@BarnabasCalder @KarenSeagrave Ha ha. Glad to be the first. I’ll not be the last.
