I would live 9m underground tomorrow if it was anything like Gianni Botsford’s House in a Garden... Short piece for The Architectural Review’s AR House - thanks Sophie Lovell & @NewArchWriters 🙏🏾

Surely it‘s not OK for the lead designers to be an Architects Declare signatory and also go ahead with this entirely unnecessary and wasteful demolition? Got to pick one or the other

Very good by Tanya Gold

Such a necessary shift for such a wasteful industry. Hope #retrofirst will also apply elsewhere; would love to see awards, news, reviews, etc. stop exclusively being all about novel new-builds

Feeling this thread

If you ever wondered why the Royal Institute of British Architects has such a horrific track record on matters of ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ this might shine some light. Their lazy response is almost as disturbing as the incident itself

So many of the injustices we experience are rooted in historical land, space & policy inequities. We're raising £30,000 for the Black Land & Spatial Justice Fund to invest in community-rooted transformative actions. Please read on & help us spread widely gofundme.com/f/black-land-j…
