Reclaim the Streets takes the M41 motorway on July 13, 1996, with a stilt-walker opening up space for people to dance to rave beats.

Under the skirts of the performer, drowned out by the thumping bass frequencies, anti-roads activists used a jackhammer to tear up the asphalt during the standoff.

I’m in Dwell this week, chatting with Anjulie Rao re: climate adaptation, the Army Corps, and why the US is so deeply committed to a development model that places people in high risk areas.

Why Do We Keep Developing in Climate Disaster Zones?
Affordable real estate in the Sun Belt continues to attract buyers under a false sense of security. For experts, the burning question is how—or if—we can build housing ethically in at-risk areas.

Professor of literature @bardcollege.bsky.social Peter L'Official unearths the ambitious — and unrealized — work of architect/writer W. Joseph Black, who in the 1970s proposed building a sprawling Black cultural center in Harlem. L'Official links Black's work to the novels of Colson Whitehead. /2

What do we learn about visions of cities when we consider writing and architecture as mutually defining?

…today S19, in 1985 & again in 2017, Mexico City experienced some of the most difficult earthquakes in recent history. I only experienced 1985, as a tiny person, but the sensory memory is somehow still present. From 2017, there are still about 32% of victims experiencing homelessness.

Hello multispecies scholars!

I compiled a list of multispecies ethnography/history books last year. Here: drive.google.com/file/d/1CYHM...

Updating it for my #PoliticalAnimals class. Are there any interesting books that came out recently or that I had forgotten to include?

With so many women and non-binary architectural talent in Mexico, it is still hard to see how one of the central archives of Mexican architecture continues to recognize the tradition.
I know much is amid changes, but I cannot wait for this archive to reflect that.

@s3ththompson.bsky.social, to translate the sensibility of our print issue to the web.

Penguins are all well and good, but don't let them lure you into thinking Tierra del Fuego is an environmental paradise. It has long served as a source for gas and petrol. The Salesian museum in Punta Arenas celebrates this, with dioramas and everything.
