✨ Now available in the US ✨

Intriguing and inspiring stories, an almost up-to-date state of the art of maintenance and repair studies, and a deep dive into the worries, diplomacy and ambivalences of the art of making things last.

All in one single book.

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

Pourquoi reconstruisons-nous les monuments « à l’identique » ?

Depuis les années 1990 ont émergé de nouvelles pratiques de (re)construction, en dehors du champ d’action du service des Monuments historiques.

Like most of the people here, I frown each time I wish a happy new year for my friends and colleagues. I am increasingly frightened and depressed.

BUT, I received a long and pretty moving email from Mierle Laderman Ukeles yesterday.
And I've kept smiling like an idiot since then.

I'm grateful for my brilliant students. One wrote about impacts of last weekend's debacle: "if we only talk about #Waymo, we will miss a critical, broader conversation around how San Francisco’s innovation policy still treats the city as a laboratory first and a community second." archive.ph/x6Iyq

San Francisco should learn from Waymo’s power outage debacle — and enact tech rollout standards

OPINION: “The weekend outage gave us a clear, non-theoretical glimpse of what happens when new systems meet old infrastructure,” Michael Redmond writes.
