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.

It’s time to give Scottish architecture a public platform again

With no permanent venue for architectural discussion since the closure of The Lighthouse, Rab Bennetts calls for a renewed public platform to reconnect design, policy and civic engagement in Scotland

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

Hot property: London’s housing problem? It’s going to get worse

The affordability and supply problem are not the full story. The flats we’ve built could be uninhabitable by 2050. We need to talk about this more, writes Peter Apps

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

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.

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?
