@ArchitectMing Brilliant! I've been waiting for that.
My own musings on this were not quite so detailed but of a similar nature:
@[email protected] @[email protected] I enjoyed listening to this too! Featured some research I greatly respect, for example the work of Colin Ellard: https://aeon.co/essays/why-boring-streets-make-pedestrians-stressed-and-unhappy However, there are also a few premises of the programme that I heartily disagree with. The fact that architects have ignored users for too long? Agreed. Thus, we need to focus on facades and exterior building aesthetics? Don't agree! Buildings need to work for regular users inside as much (even more?) as for those passing by
Why Thomas Heatherwick’s misguided ramblings are too dangerous to ignore. Thank you Olly Wainwright for pointing this out.

The answer to pedestrian safety is not (just) making car less dangerous. It is to fundamentally think how we should shape our built environment. This is asking the wrong question & having the right answer.

In this hybrid seminar, Tim Waterman, Acting Director of Architecture History and Theory at The Bartlett School of Architecture, will be in conversation with Sarah Ensor, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, bringing a nuanced and varied approach to thinking through queer futurity in today's world.
I want to tell parents of trans kids under attack in the red states something:
This is simply horrifying. Like you, we can't understand how any politicians could stoop so low as to attack the most vulnerable among us.
You are strong, and we will fight for and beside you. And though we may lose these initial battles, your love and strength will help win this in the end. I know that to be true.
