RIP to the OG NTS booth. Can't imagine how many amazing artists have spent an hour or two in our little Dalston studio since first opening in 2011...

[Rufus Shakespeare @Rufushakespeare]

@alishamorenike 💥Congrats Alisha! 🦾

If you see lichen like this it means the air is clean.

Sadly, you don't see much of it. Perhaps an aim for 2030? Love the idea of a lichen KPI.....

#CounterMapping = process of drawing alternative representations of space to capture realities you won’t find when looking at a traditional map. The Forest Curriculum have designed an engaging activity to capture this, for #LearningFromArchitecture
