ACSA cancels Fall 2025 Journal of Architectural Education issue about Palestine and fires its interim executive editor ACSA announced this afternoon it has cancelled a forthcoming JAE edition about Palestine. The Fall 2025 issue was planned to be edited by Cruz Garcia, Nora Akawi, Omar Jabary Salamanca, Zoé Samudzi, a...

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” 😐

“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.

Taking, Sneaking If you have spent time in Annandale some time in the last forty years, you would know this piece of graffiti that has been on the corner of Collins and Johnston Streets since 1977: It’s a lot…

A key piece of anti-nuclear protest art now sadly graffited over and a shadow of its former self. It once read:
"18 TRUCKS WITH 200 COPS
PASSED THIS WAY AT 12.00 MIDNIGHT 1.2.77
TAKING, SNEAKING, URANIUM
TO WHITE BAY
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?"

A book spread from the book "Prior Art"

A hand holding up a copy of Peter Christensen's book "Prior Art" against a wooden backdrop.

A groundbreaking text on the history of the use of patents in #architecture, and the first full-scale monographic treatment of this complex relationship between art and invention.

"Prior Art" by Peter Christensen is available now (and in a free #openaccess edition too!) 👉 https://buff.ly/4eKq4IL

Anthropocene Desire Lines A Coal Story

Check out this visual essay by Lindsay Bremner and John Cook. It does very cool things bringing together deep time & political time.

Two years ago I was in Sao Paulo and visited the aquariun. There were two polar bears there, a gift from Russia before the Sochi Olympics. The were mangey, huddling under two ice machines suspended from the ceiling. There was almost no daylight and it was about 30 deg C outside. It was horrific.

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.
