The Journal for Architectural Education’s Palestine issue — for which I was an issue co-editor — was cancelled by the board of Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture citing risks and “new actions by the U.S. presidential administration” 😐 www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

#skystorians: have a look, feel encouraged to apply, and work with my great colleague @smueller.bsky.social here in Augsburg for up to two years.

Check out this visual essay by Lindsay Bremner and John Cook. It does very cool things bringing together deep time & political time. And for word-focused academics, it inspires other ways of thinking and presenting research and analysis. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/71f0...

Really enjoyed the masterclass and lecture today with Sverker Sörlin on Environing Technologies and the attention he pays to the histories of environmental diagrams and diplomacy. Thanks @seisydney.bsky.social for the invitation.

Our recent exhibition on the visual culture and architecture of energy transition just finished. Here's a bit more about it: www.indesignlive.com/happenings/t...
