Last week, we discussed school buildings. Students made a sketch (from memory) of the secondary school they attended.
So many great examples from all over the world - from a small school in Chile boasting a slide from classrooms to playground all the way to a large Silicon Valley campus

Beautiful photo! 💙
I've seen a kingfisher in North London on the New River canal last year - it was truly magical. Sadly I've only got a mobile phone shot

Dass ich #LongCovid habe, sieht man mir nicht an. Aber Maske und Sonnenblumenumhänger machen das Unsichtbare vielleicht etwas sichtbarer

Had so much fun today at the V & A East Storehouse in London - a spectacular museum and public display of their stored items.
Marvellous exhibits inside great architecture

TFW your #Sunbelt2025 experience is glorious already - connecting with old friends, meeting new faces, learning about cool science - but then the architectural settings are just spectacular
Well played, Paris 😎

I'm using Bird Net and am beginning to recognise frequent garden visitors now without the app (robins, blackbirds)
Caught this jay in the garden a few weeks ago and was giddily excited

My own #Sunbelt2025 talk will be on Saturday 28th July (10am local time, room 112 - in case you're there 👋🏻) and will discuss space usage processes in buildings as a two-mode network between people and spaces (see the slide alt text for more info)
