The unexpected cladding on the gable ends of this barn + cart shed at Harpsden, Oxfordshire is made up of wooden wallpaper printing blocks. Reportedly installed c1923 after the blocks were salvaged from a shooting lodge nearby. Do any wallpaper historians know more? #Woodensday

READ THIS: Building without concrete? The huge environmental burden of concrete is generally assumed to be necessary. Robyn Pender argues we should ask deeper questions: How much do buildings truly require concrete? And do we deploy it wisely? https://t.co/CySf9O7azl

No this is not a park, it is the future of the street (Barcelona). The big idea underpinning this is creating more proximity between uses, so that less movement by car is required, and then alongside this changing streets themselves to become places for nature and biodiversity.

Think about all the things that we have room for in our cities when we haven’t surrendered all the space between buildings to cars. Haarlemmerplein in Amsterdam, gorgeous photo by @schlijper.

Two generations ago, the UK made a mistake of historic proportions & ripped up its tram network. It’s time to put that right now. Photo via @_dmoser

In this paper sculpture diptych, titled “Mixed,” I explore my mixed-race heritage by examining ancestral hometowns on both sides of my family: the Northern Minnesotan town of Two Harbors on the left, and the Gujarati fishing town of Diu on the right. 24”h x 36”w x 1.5”d ea. (1/4)

Paris isn’t the first city to champion a “city of short distances,” with hyper-proximity. Melbourne has been planning “20-Minute Neighbourhoods" with shops, parks, schools, medical assistance, etc. all within a 20 minute walk, bike or transit ride. V/@wef
