As the 5th anniversary of the launch of the AAS on the @ArchiFringe Open Programme nears, we’re adding to its library one final time in a series of bursts of inspirational resources. These will not only orbit #architecture & the #builtenvironment & are an invitation to un/learn.

The moment I realized schools were never optimized for learning was when I started researching pedagogy and realized that there are decade-long, known-good practices (some of which date to the 1960s) that have yet to enter classrooms
It’s shocking how much we know about how learning happens, all the way down to the mechanics of what’s going on in the brain. And it’s not just how learning happens, but also, what we can do to improve learning. There are plenty of learning-enhancing practice strategies that

The bills for the clean up of climate disasters like that suffered in #Valencia should be charged to oil and gas companies. Instead, governments around the world continue to subsidise them with trillions of dollars of taxpayers' money every year. Enough.

"My own conclusion was psychologically it’s not that people want to work, it’s more people want to feel they are transforming the world in a way that makes some kind a positive difference to other people. In a way, that’s what being human is all about." https://t.co/6EJJT9VL8L

" The government’s deregulatory agenda... dominated the department’s thinking to such an extent that even matters affecting the safety of life were ignored, delayed or disregarded." Plus ça change, and all that

Such an excellent illustration of how inefficient fossil fuels are and how manufactured our dependency actually is. Close to half of all shipping traffic worldwide is just moving fossil fuels around

One aside from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry report not widely picked up. The panel has concluded that the reason for cladding Grenfell was aesthetics, not insulation. Really does emphasise how this was a story about class.

One single paper breaks ranks from the horrific manufacturing of consent for genocide
Today's front page of @ScotNational #Scotland-THANK YOU for this! 🙏 "A timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white- the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away"

He means climate scientists, btw. Starmer is trying to pitch climate science against the British economy. How many storms and floods and fires and crop failures will it take before he eats his words? Far, far too many. This @UKLabour govt is a corrupt & antiscientific disgrace.
🚨ICYMI: yesterday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer penned a piece in The Sun titled "I will not sacrifice Great British industry to the drum-banging, finger-wagging Net Zero extremists".

Last year Zionists spent weeks arguing that Israel would never attack hospitals in Gaza. Now the IDF has attacked every hospital in Gaza and is targeting hospitals in Lebanon.
South Lebanon hospital out of commission after premises hit by Israeli strike, facility director tells CNN. The strike killed seven people outside the entrance of the Marjayoun Governmental Hospital, Dr. Mones Kalakish said. The Israeli military did not respond to request for

Another scale busting map! September rainfall for the UK. Huge variation but parts of southern England seeing over three & a half times their average rainfall. Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.

Can't believe that I am still on tour with this box we built 10 years ago. Most of the materials are still 'new' to people in construction, despite a climate crisis unfolding. It's still a great time speaking about the good and not so good materials and how they are made.
