Good riddance to Mercury Retrograde

@willjennings80 @midlands_bbc We designed a whole new museum which was written up in the Guardian. I asked them if they might mention us in the piece but they said no as it would be advertising.

It is infuriating that time & time again building projects get written about, like here from @midlands_bbc, and the architect is never mentioned once. Like designs just happen without any creative team or labour. These works are by Urban Fabric Architects. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@edwinheathcote I mean, not to be all Carrie Bradshaw about it ... Yes everything else has changed, but maybe it's really us that changed ?

I’m Trying the other network out. But still find it dull and a little smug. Needs to be sharper. But I’m there under my name if anyone is also trying.

@edwinheathcote I forced my daughter to watch it during lockdown to ensure we had the same disturbed childhood experience

I’m currently watching ‘Children of the Stones’ on YouTube for the first time since I saw it when I was maybe 10. Jesus Christ it’s terrifying. What did they do to us?

@_seangriffiths Not doing any more was the best thing we did

theguardian.com/artanddesign/a… It’s now 10 years since we ended FAT. Seeing what’s become of some of our closest contemporaries and rivals (who were always going to be more successful than us) and some of those we looked up to (OMA, HdeM), I’m so pleased we packed it in when we did.

@edwinheathcote That's the Rocking Tower of Power 🎵 Capital Eff Emmm🎵

Christ, this is awful. The Euston Tower is perfectly elegant just as it is. Why not just upgrade the glazing?
