"One of the contributing issues is that after 50 years of coal mining, the site was remediated with just a few inches of soil and some treatment ponds... The designers’ initial recommendation to truck in new topsoil was scrapped for budgetary reasons."

“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.
Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.

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 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.

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

And for word-focused academics, it inspires other ways of thinking and presenting research and analysis.
