I recently wrote for @FailedArch on Sukarno's "anti-imperial Olympic Games", GANEFO, which was a fascinating way to learn about Indonesia's radical beginnings at the centre of the Third World project alongside it's postcolonial nation-building project failedarchitecture.com/how-sukarnos-g…

@entschwindet @ollywainwright the "cod philosophers, gonzo anthropologists" line just came across as pure projection from someone who went to Cambridge and the RCA. sure I also went to the RCA, but in practice I've met many people with completely different, more technical experiences from their universities

@entschwindet @ollywainwright yeah it's a weird read, I've just done my part 3 and was sufficiently terrified (in a good way) by my lectures on the BSA, CDM, etc. sure I'm not an expert yet, but we had regular, healthy debates on the legacy of Grenfell and how we can't pass the buck anymore

pretty much everyone agrees that the consultants at Grenfell were a awful, and that the architects were completely out of their depth, but it is interesting that @ollywainwright uses this piece to have a go at their education in truly cartoonish fashion theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

For the past half a year I've been working on this project to expand on my interests around the British Empire Exhibition. Please share with anyone who you think may want to be involved with our conference in September!
BEE.2024_@BEE_LSA_2024

2024 marks the centenary of the opening of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley. This week, @LSofARCH, in partnership with the @BritishCouncil, launched a Call to Participation for a conference in September, to critically reflect upon the exhibition's legacy.

Heard a story about an architecture practice that does really beautiful work and is run by someone that's also actually really nice, genuinely struggled to believe it.

these people currently at the top of the party have absolutely zero shame or conviction, they are alienating huge numbers of their natural voters. given that this man would be my local MP, he's just made my decision all the more simple

@JohnMcGrath95 can't wait to be on the other side of the argument and seeing you argue with Mark about how unethical it is to not vote for Labour

Honestly don't see how I can see myself voting for labour anymore. The answer is safe routes and integration. Immigration is only going to increase with the climate crisis and no doubt starmer plans to treat climate protestors as terrorists too. Don't know how he sleeps at night
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

#TrevorPhillips asks Keir Starmer if the families of refugees coming across in small boats who are in the UK & know their relative is coming across should be treated as terrorists.

Indonesia is building a new capital, a large-scale $35 billion urban project located in East Kalimantan. What are the rationales behind the new capital and how is it being pursued as a political project? These are addressed in this working paper 👇 eprints.lse.ac.uk/119201/1/South…

Terribly worded tweet, should have said, do you support rent control, but you get the idea.

Curious to see the percentage of people who are for/against rent controls and whether they rent or not

Amazing how the Carabao has sponsored the league Cup for 7 years now and I've never seen a single person ever drinking one of their energy drinks

on a recent trip the airport security guy said to me "why can't all passengers be like you?" and I'm still living off that high months later
