One issue with the shift back to blogging is that blogging tends ~extremely dudely~. At least in the fields I (and yous) operate in: digital culture, tech criticism, futures, professional life. I wish I knew why that is.

In most student projects I've seen contemplating flooding/sea level rise, they seem to assume the water will rise gently. It's a crucial topic, but perhaps worth watching some videos of actual natural disasters before starting to draw. dezeen.com/2022/10/21/studen…

Listening to Lesley-Anne Noel speaking on ‘design for a world in crisis.’ How ‘Environmentalism did not exist before industrialisation’ - “ #sustainability in the west is framed as a view of the privileged” #RSD11 @mamaazure
Lesley-Ann Noel - keynote now at #RSD11 - questions welcome via twitter to @mamaazure
“The challenge is to redesign design itself. To do that you have to step back from the discipline of design. . You have to recognise a lot of design education is design in error.” . Need to mull on this provocation from Tony Fry’s keynote @RSDSymposium 🤔 #RSD11 #defuturing

An excellent #openspace #unconference at @ChathamHouse around the "How can we enable humanity and the planet to thrive together in the long term?" with a good scattering of familiar faces alongside fascinating new voices. Thanks to @CH_Accelerator & @improbable1 for hosting.

Inspired by a recent tweet by @camcycle I used @OpenAI's #dalle2 to imagine what a car-free Cambridge city centre might look like.
