It is time for a thread on traditional urbanism, or town planning 13th century style. I will dispel some myths of modern dis-urbanism.pic.twitter.com/wUbkEuGy9a

I usually don't quote tweet replies (because it seems a bit rude really) but I see this "defense" of a clearly manipulative EU law pop up all the time and I don't want to answer it over and over again.

It will. Say a reconstruction will cost €10 million with EU funds and a proper historical reconstruction will cost €100 million without EU funds, which municipal authority will have the financial and political power to be able to resist not chosing the EU approved project?https://twitter.com/hazardppp/status/1224265787122339840 …

The Kasr (fortified village) typically has about 1000 houses, all built with 3-5 rooms around a central courtyard, in stone of 50cm thickness, about 1000 years ago. The courtyard means no AC is needed, unlike modern homes or eco "passivhaus". At night occupants sleep on the roof.pic.twitter.com/7IwtS69tn6

The designer of the inside of this carbuncle (the outside he is not responsible for), John Pawson, undoubtedly reserves the nicer things for himself and his family. Here is his home in the Cotswolds, complete with a medieval fish pond.pic.twitter.com/y6nOaPtJgN

When your local UK politicians say they are committed to fighting global warming, just hold up a photo of the Design Museum. If they don't care, why should we?pic.twitter.com/pIelq54q8X

On the left, the environmental disaster that is The Design Museum in Kensington, £83 million in 2016, expected life span: 30 years, with a bit of luck and millions in funding. On the right, Cafe Wien in Wernigerode, built by hand in A.D. 1583, ca. £10, sustainable indefinitely.pic.twitter.com/x5OqXxkwsA

Do quarantines work? "The Cuban quarantine ran from 1986 to 1997, during the early days of a global AIDS epidemic." Today, "Cuba has the lowest prevalence of HIV in the Americas." It was the tourism industry that put an end to the quarantine by the way.https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2019/11/29/are-public-health-quarantines-in-our-future-column/ …

New proof that flowers are better pollinated in cities than in rural areas. If we agree to limit urban sprawl, cities could function as a source of pollinators to help restore reduced rural populations. Score one for human scaled cities.https://www.idiv.de/en/news/news_single_view/1646.html …
