More or less what it says on the tin — facts that were correct in early 2012.
Another introduction, this time for ARQ, to projects arising out of the Spatial Agency project.
2021-24 AHRC-DFG funded research project in collaboration with Tatjana Schneider, looking at the implications of climate breakdown for spatial practice. Summary of project in the link. We formed a research collective, MOULD, to do the project, and work coming from the project is gathered together at the website MOULD. One of the main outputs of the project is the website Architecture is Climate, a resource that reimagines the future of architecture through its entanglement with climate breakdown.
My first foray into the intersection of politics and architecture. Spiky.
A short think piece on the 2011 Occupation movement and its relevance to architecture.
Scarcity Scares. Video here.
A critique of masterplanning. On to something here, but yet to be developed.
Edited text of an interview with me about participation done with Bernd Upmeyer of the Dutch journal MONU
Very early thoughts from our Scarcity and Creativity project. Now looks rather crude.
Originally commissioned by the RIBA, a piece on what might or might not constitute architectural research. Big in Spain.
My response as to why giving the official government website 2013 Design of the Year was not so cool.
This is the text of a short talk I did as part of the UAL Climate Emergency Network 5 day festival in September 2020. It picks up on some of the themes of Architecture After Architecture

This was my first Zoom lecture, delivered as part of the Architecture Foundation's excellent 100 Day Studio intiative during the 2020 COVID lockdown. The video is here , and the transcript linked to the title above. The lecture speculates as to where architecture might be in the face of the twin crises of climate and COVID, arguing that these challenge some of the fundaments on which the modern project of architecture has based itself.
