@KAMackinnon Looks amazing, wish I was young enough to go! One wee suggestion for future comms; could you make it really super obvs for folk that this is not a religious thing, as on first impressions some might assume so, especially if you’ve not heard of a Socialist Sunday School before.

I've written a blog on Urban Realm on my experience as a mentally ill student of architecture, which I decided to tackle after becoming frustrated about the lack of mentally ill voices in this particular debate. I hope it's helpful to someone. urbanrealm.com/blogs/index.ph…

@SuzanneEwing_ Ha ha! The burden of being a PhD-er, not only to write a thesis but tasked with cheering people up with our research chat!! What next?!

@midstquarter Were yous tempted? 🤔 Wee change of scenery

This week has demonstrated the strength of our creative community. The overwhelming support and kindness we have received from the arts and construction industries has been incredible and we feel humbled by the generosity of spirit @RIASmembership @gia_tweet #AJArchAwards

This event next week is going to be such a treat - Andrew Crummy's essay on the history of Community Art in Scotland is one of the best things I have read this year (and Collective Architecture are pretty cool too) Thursday 1st Nov at 7pm @thestovies @Saltire_Society

One week, two meetings - a worldview apart. The history books will remember us as The Age of Dissonance, whose international institutions were simply unable to connect ecology and economy.

“The end of growth?” I wonder what will be the role of #architecture and #planning in the world of #degrowth . We are well trained in #design for economic growth. Are we prepared to design good quality downshift? foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/12/why…
