Just finished ⁦@BBCRosAtkins⁩ brilliant book. Us architects think we’re really good at presentation/explanation - but we clearly have a lot to learn. Ros traces his thinking from student days, so it’s also a great illustration of the development of expertise.

In the last few days, I've read inspiring books by @jake_fiennes + @guyshrubsole + re-read @natchjourneyman 's. Our natural & built environments require much healing + I'm left feeling more optimistic + with a stronger desire to help. Thank you.

In today’s greatest hits of ideas, images, designs and words: 1) The joy of David Hockney’s new exhibition @royalacademy 2) A very good idea from @fosterarchitect 3) About learning (thank you @neilcoxon) brighterside.co.uk/news/july-2021


Studying a little bit of lost Chester today. It's shocking just how much has been lost in a single lifetime - mostly as a consequence of the motorcar. That thing that we now need to banish from our city centres so they can become comfortable places for more people to live.

Good day for a survey of this 400 year old mill on the banks of the Dee. Machinery still intact from its last use in the 1960's.

If you’re looking for inspiration @ShitChester

If you're looking for inspiration, see @AtmosTotnes and their campaign for a community-led development (hotel, training resource, facilities for young people, retirement homes, a microbrewery and much more) of a brownfield site. All led by, and for the benefit of local people.
