@carras16 the driver of this van almost knocked me down this morning beeping his horn speeding into a side street in Whitley bay. He wound his window down and told me to ‘get off the ‘ffing road’. Please have a word

Just when you think your day can't get any better, so proud to say @FaulknerBrowns, our incredible architects at Britannia, & @hackneycouncil have won Community Impact of the Year Award at tonight's #AJ100. An incredible win for one of the most inclusive leisure centres anywhere.

Wow.A very expensive way of making a seemingly simple decision.Let’s hope another inspector sees some sense

@perry_jims Dean/Grey street were never designed to include landscape - never mind artificial crap. The whole point is the view of the architecture.

[Rob Summerson @SummersonRob]

Distant views of surrounding countryside #sustainablearchitecture @GreatSpaceUK

Amazing views of #northumberland

Beautiful natural light

Airtight sealing and super insulated walls around windows and doors

Lovely morning on site in #Northumberland looking at the final touches for a super sustainable deep retrofit of a grade II listed home #sustainablearchitecture #sustainabledesign wind tight roof structure

Plot 12 approved at appeal. Absolute garbage. Planning inspectors need to be educated in design. Newcastle river frontage deserves better https://t.co/PZAk0SYRYT…. This is a disgrace for Newcastle. @perry_jims @NewcastleCC.

[Rob Summerson @SummersonRob]

@JurajMikurcik Fantastic result - sadly currently too rare to get a pragmatic view from the planners!

More Hackney Award nominations this week, this time it's the new Britannia Leisure Centre up for a London @RICSnews award.
Already a hit with the community & rapidly becoming a Hackney icon, glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
The difference @HackneyLabour makes.

A few more angles and walk home.

Late afternoon, not quite sunset over Britannia/Brafa Square/Shoreditch Park.

Such a beautiful setting & sky.
