@edwinheathcote A question Noriyuki Ishii explored through his subtle but inventive thesis project last year. A convincing argument for transforming Bastion and the MOL plinth / garages into collective housing and last mile delivery facilities: 2023.rca.ac.uk/students/noriy…

Keep Bastion House, refurbish it. Do we really need more new offices? ft.com/content/aa7dda…

An inspiring discussion between Robin Winogrond and @_blndrfld on the @Scaffold_Pod podcast. Listen closely. “Landscape is not something objective outside of us, it is the marriage between our inner optic and inner emotions and a place outside of us.” Winogrond Scaffold

Thanks for letting me tag along!

Presentation will be followed by a discussion with Tom Emerson of 6a, whose practice and teaching have arguably prepared the ground for this approach to flourish.

Looking forward to this tonight: Truwant+Rodet+ discussing their work, which lifts the separations between landscape, structure, art, science, territory, technology, biology and botanism. Tickets are £15 (£12 for students and AF supporters) Buy at door to avoid booking fees ;)

@greg_coyote @bunker_pod @rosamundmtaylor Building an extruded glass tower in the desert suggests the likelihood of overheating is high! Building two 500m tall blocks so close together suggests it will be dark in there!

@bunker_pod @rosamundmtaylor @_blndrfld Bit disappointed that this focused mostly on moral objections (which won't stop MBS) and barely touched on the multiple insurmountable technical barriers (which absolutely will stop MBS). The Line won't happen, but not for the reasons given in this pod

Can Saudi Arabia really build the first ever green, AI powered smart city? MBS certainly thinks so. @rosamundmtaylor speaks to @_blndrfld about the future of architecture and asks the question, what is the perfect city? Listen: listen.podmasters.uk/BNKR22623TheLi…

@greg_coyote @bunker_pod @rosamundmtaylor Of course it's technically unfeasible, although very little info has been shared on the envelope design and cooling strategy.

Thanks to @rosamundmtaylor and the @bunker_pod team for having me on to discuss the folly of Saudi Arabia's new linear city.
