Was on BBC Radio Scotland's Out of Doors programme on Saturday talking about the album and rain & sound art. Starts around 00:53minutes >> www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

An embarrassing shame for Glasgow but hate this narrative that Arts Workers for Palestine Scotland contributed to this closure. Every issue since Saramago closure could have been completely avoided. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For Glasgow pals - on Saturday 21 Feb I'm hosting a launch event for the compilation album You Are Not Made of Sugar about living with rain in Glasgow. Held in collabroation with Infrastructure Humanties Group & record label Miúin. Free tickets; book here: communalleisure.com/2026-02-21-i...

Looking forward to being in Belfast next week with the @archhfund.org.uk & @kwilsonlee.bsky.social for their 50 Year touring exhibtion opening. The venue, Riddel's Warehouse, is a beauty of Industrial heritage (photos © Joe Laverty)

My ambient show Earth Tones for Radio Alhara is up now on Mixcloud - image by Alys Hargreaves are her carbon focused research on isle of Foula www.mixcloud.com/bobbyjewell/...

I reviewed MORE AND MORE AND MORE which argues that there’s no historical precedent for an “energy transition”; instead, we see symbiotic linkages between wood, coal, oil, and now renewables. I’m convinced. But the book’s analysis of capitalism falls short @thebaffler.com Link ⬇️

Sickening show of force by Jared Kushner of "New Gaza" and "New Rafah", such an evil project to design let alone build. Even worse is seeing Israeli's sharing this so gleefully. Shame on the practices involved.

@katewagner.wehwalt.net sticking the landing as always. And yes, NEOM architects, you are culpable. You are collaborators in evil.

Loved street-level superstar a year with LAWRENCE by @willhodgkinson.bsky.social an endlessly fascinating musician & individual. Really funny, sad in parts and can be read as a history of changing London since the 80s with it's psychogeographic walk through the city

Also made it down to the suburban Brutalist estate at Ivry-sur-Seine by Renée Gailhoustet. So well intertwined within the urban fabric of the area

Enjoyed Paris exhibition Common Areas last week. Set in a former hospital that’s also a halfway house it was a stylish look at shared spaces in a shared building. Shame Lighthouse or RIBA can’t do any off site shows like this due to their currently closures www.pavillon-arsenal.com/en/expositio...

Really pleased to be supporting the AHF with press for their 50th Anniversary. A fantastic organisation restoring of so many buildings and communities across the UK.

Our latest TTiN discussion is also on Spotify, including research by @andrewhoolachan.bsky.social and sound art by @bobbyjewell.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2Yex...

A long overdue change this. Worrying that it's not confirmed as 0% VAT for Retrofit as yet but let's hope so www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/mps-cal...

Having seen San Siro in person recently it is an absolute travesty that it's being demolished. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Last day is tomorrow but that Andy Goldsworthy: Fifty Years show in Edinburgh is a beaut

‘Elon Musk won’t stop. It’s time the British government got off X’ ✍️ @willjennings.bsky.social https://bit.ly/3LB746A

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

So many people I speak to in Scotland lament the closure of The Lighthouse (soon to be another coworking space). And seeing the successs of The Farrell Centre in Newcastle really highlights this lack of public facing centre for architecture and planning. www.bdonline.co.uk/opinion/its-...

I have an ambient album - Earth Burning Red - out today on Italy's ROHS Records. Have a listen here: lontanoseries.bandcamp.com/album/earth-...

“Blair’s well-documented links to petrostates and oil and gas companies ought to alone be enough to disqualify this man as an independent and reliable arbiter of what’s possible or commonsense in the energy transition" - my man @patrickgaley.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

great read this by Jonathan Leiw

Loved visiting Aldo Rossi’s Monte Amiata housing in Gallaratese, Milan last week.

At the Triannale Milano exhibition Inequalities curated by Stefano Boeri. A super dense show with a lot of innovative work next to some duller bits. A bit cluttered when it comes to sound and visuals but pretty good overall

Dr Dom Davies on Grey Labour and Alton Towers - The Decline Rollercoaster for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/10/the-...

‘Compassion is stronger than division’: Glasgow’s battle over the saltire - picture essay by the brilliant @chrislesliephoto.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"It is a sign of how little regard they have for the truth when they are incorrectly taking images from museums, and it underlines that we cannot trust a word that they say" theferret.scot/idf-s...

Enjoyed Thirst at @wellcomecollection.bsky.social. Curation there always strikes the right balance between art, science, history and contemporary issues.

V&A East Storehouse every bit as good as everyone says it is

Jenrick’s in full grifting goblin mode so not worth giving him the time of day. but I’ve just spent two hours in Birmingham and if you’re not charmed by its diversity you’re just weird

Rob Bevan "Israel's attacks on culture in Gaza also signal genocide" @news.architectsjournal.co.uk www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/opinion...

857 people arrested in a single day in London for holding signs opposing Israel’s genocide in Palestine These include Holocaust survivors, vicars, retired nurses and teachers. So many of them are elderly. Labour is dead www.instagram.com/p/DOTb3nIjYIS/

New Housing secretary Steve Reed coming out the gate with boring "Build baby build" mantra. Build what exactly? Just new homes or social housing too? And what about retrofit and insulation. Where's the ambition for building what's needed?

Brandon Stanton from Humans Of New York has a series on Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. This morning I had read the latest one and believed more people should.

The leaked Gaza Riviera plan is more grotesque than you could ever have imagined.

Really pleased to see Palestinian architects AAU ANASTAS receive an Aga Khan Award for Architecture for their incredible Wonder Cabinet project www.wallpaper.com/architecture...

Why this latest European heatwave is so different – and more worrying – than the rest @rmets.org's Chloe Brimicombe for The Independent www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Absolutely terrible climate communications here, no acknowledgement of fossil fuels or pollution by other corporations and big tech. Blaming individuals like this is just asking for a public backlash. Typical of the baffling choices this government makes.

The impacts of climate change won't hit us all equally, with this research showing low income and minority ethnic people are most at risk from dangerously hot homes. More needs to be done to reduce the risks we face as high temperatures become more common. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Was great to attend the opening of Enric Miralles: Creating the Scottish Parliament this morning, such thoughtful and powerful work and intro by Benedetta Tagliabue
