@florianurban.bsky.social found for our book Form Follows Fuel that it's v hard to get #embodiedenergy figures for buildings today. #embodiedcarbon is widespread, yet it's much less clear, and more vulnerable to distortion. Here's our argument:

March 1969, Chen Wanli and his wife committed suicide at home. They were among the persecuted intellectuals in the Cultural Revolution. My latest paper traces Chen’s career from medicine, photography, archaeology to the museum, showing precarity and resilience of museum professionals in 20-C China.
