My new book chronicles how architects have shaped their ideas of the city—and sustainability—as knowledge of the climate emergency has unfolded. Writing from a perspective concerned with theory, practice, politics and the earth.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.
Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Worth remembering what Goldsmith said about climate protests: "disruptive protest groups such as Extinction Rebellion are absolutely right and the pressure they exert does work. There is a real anxiety that we are heading towards a cliff and we’re not doing enough."
Yes—had an appalling experience today, neurodiverse student criticised for one window being poorly orientated. No discussion of their design method or actual ideas. This mode of criticism, often learnt at the elite schools, trashes the idea of a diverse and equitable profession.
Incase you are still under the impression you live in a free country, worth following the progress of the Insulate Britain protestors in court. They've been gagged from talking about the thing that they are protesting to highlight. https://t.co/Wfi6D86XiW
