@Guy_Garvey hey Guy, my son has met you twice recently and still hasn’t plucked up the courage to tell you that Elbow @ NEC in 2014 was his first ever gig - it 100% contributed to the path he is now on 🙏🏻 photo below - just before you dropped the balloons 😎

Illegal urbanism. In many towns in many countries, windows, door, distance between walls & lack of parking would make this impossible to build. And yet beautiful, resilient, walkable #GentleDensity is the path to more homes & happier neighbourhoods needing less land

@PlanningShit @BethT_Heritage Sadly a not uncommon result of CAD + inexperience + no one caring enough to check drawings and think through “design”

It’s 2023 and we are still fucking about with designing streets and spaces like this! 📸 @BethT_Heritage

@adolfux Just…wow

Today marks ten years since this infographic back page about the Kowloon Walled City was published by South China Morning Post. I explained in a few lectures the ins and outs of this project, and now I will do it here. Long 🧵

Fantastic thread - should be compulsory reading for every local authority head of planning in the uk - large scale developers must be guided to deliver sustainable communities.

@Annjj @helloitspip Sent these by my 19 year old yesterday to “see what I thought”

I can’t help thinking that this is the sort of Shit @helloitspip would put on her feet.

Design is easy. You just write 100 emails a day, attend 6 or 7 meetings and then start designing at 4:45pm.

@TadCarpenter Architecture sees your 100 emails and 7 meetings, and raises you 2 site visits.
