Exciting to hear Kunle Adeyemi talking #watercities @UIA2023CPH anticipating a world of #flooding. A building system requiring no more than a drill. Must check out African Water Cities book.

We recently made this @ccawire thinking of ways architects can do less harm, in practice, within office & industry. From basic things like paying your interns to saying 'no' for exploitative or low paying projects to turning down 'manels' to building less. bit.ly/3rqgoNA

A massive thank you to @ArchitectsCAN for facilitating vital discussions @UniRdg_Arc about barriers to environmental activism in architecture:
- financialised industry influence
- knowledge gaps
- out dated 'canon'
- dismissal as 'radical'
...
So much critical work to be done.
ALT word cloud of 'barriers to environmental activism' including issues like canon, greenwashing, knowledge gaps and industry influence.

Great to hear so many stories from @ASF_UK work on community led regeneration across London - and raising crucial questions about how we can scale this. Why don't we think this is normal? We should think this is normal.
