We are so thrilled to share that Everyday Modernism was awarded the 2023 Colvin Prize by @TheSAHGB. The citation reads: “The judges agreed that the collective endeavour of Jiat-Hwee Chang, Justin Zhuang and Darren Soh had created a book that was conceptually excellent, broad 1/3

Our special issue on “Heat and the City: Thermal Control, Governance and Health in Urban Asia” in Urban Studies is finally published after almost three years in the making following a workshop at @nus_ari. See journals.sagepub.com/toc/usj…. 🧵1/4
From the politics of heat action planning to the inequities of urban heat island effect, from the relationships between thermal material culture and social lives to the connections between thermal rights to air-conditioning and shade and forms of citizenship. 3/4
Many thanks to my collaborators and the contributors for their support and patience! They include @nha3383 @adkhandekar @CJCourtneyWuhan @MacktoomSoha 4/4

Caught a glimpse of the man with a feather duster (mentioned in a text by G Gunel on Masdar?) at NYUAD before D Tang, S Huebner and I had our 1st presentation from our (De)Carbonizing Asia project at the excellent conference on “Material and Visual World of Oilinfrastructure”
organised by Nelida Fuccaro and Mattin Biglari. The ungated fortress in the desert was designed by NYC-based Rafael Viñoly Architects and it has a “high line” too! #presentingonoilinanoilstate

New special issue paper by @jiathwee develops the concept of #ThermalGovernance as a way to think critically about urbanisation and the management of #heat at a time of climate change

Thanks to CDE colleagues, my class on “(De)Carbonizing Spaces” visited the “Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed” in campus today to learn about various experimental energy-efficient techniques of cooling data servers. #thermalcapitalism #DataCenter

Me listening to @nytimes The Daily podcast on the history of AC, when the reporter recalls how heat in Chicago was no big deal in the 1990s because people could just hang out in their cool brick apartment building.
Was her family at their beach house in 1995?
