It's International Women's Day 2025. Like every year, we will be ignoring the PR posts from architectural offices — and instead highlighting the gender pay gap data from some of the UK's largest practices. 🧵
Thanks to North Oxford Trees and Gardens for their amazing crown reduction of our cherished Horse Chestnut - our Span estate was built around it after Tolkien stopped it from being felled. Props to their working Landies too - not fashion accessories!
Didn't like the way this @JDVance1 bloke (newly picked as #Trump's running mate) slagged off the UK lately. Looked into him. Not great. Made a parody song inspired by @ABBA called "Vance VP" 🎶 Shout out #americast (@BBCsarahsmith/@awzurcher) & @RestIsPolitics for ℹ️ profiles 👍

Sad about Benjamin Zephaniah. I was already a fan when he opened a Hackney housing scheme I’d been job architect for in 93. He read out a poem he’d written about it - wish I’d kept it. He was funny humble and warm but punched hard politically R.I.P.

The Holocaust Memorial Bill has passed an important milestone, bringing the construction of a National Holocaust Memorial a step closer. The Bill is confirmed as hybrid, which resolves uncertainty and brings closer the opportunity for MPs to express their support for the Memorial
Love a good glass house - this is lesser known Sheffield Botanical Gardens managing to shine under grey sky
Today, the Government has introduced a Bill to progress the creation of a national Holocaust Memorial for the UK. Its location next to Parliament will give the Holocaust the prominence it deserves, serving as a powerful reminder of where prejudice can lead if unchallenged.
