I am continually amazed folk still seek out David Willetts for his opinion, given he is the architect of such a spatchcocked catastrofuck theguardian.com/education/ar…

Ex-ministers warn UK universities will go bust without higher fees or funding

Exclusive: Vice-chancellors suggest fee rise of £2,000 to £3,500 a year, but others say that is ‘politically impossible’

Not entirely sure why but @SellingAMirror is consistently one of the best things on here. I guess it’s the glimpses into the reality of everyday life and things. Love it.

Surely a good candidate for spot listing. Would be a significant loss.

🚨 C20 is concerned to learn that planning permission has been granted to demolish 17 Whitney Drive in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his own family home, Shorten was also project architect on Coventry Railway Station (1962), now Grade II listed.

I saw an idea recently that I thought was lovely…public libraries that are open late every night so ppl can socialize, as an alternative to bars or sitting alone at home. Would be especially perfect for introverts to socialize comfortably and for older people who are lonely.

The best book I have read this year! Suzanne Joinson’s Museum of Lost and Fragile Things. It’s a clever and fascinating tale of outgrowing a cult (which purged possessions) and of piecing together a self through recovering the items that structure a life. theindigopress.com/product/t…

I remain baffled how France can build *social housing* like this, which feels better than even luxury housing in so many other places... Designed by SOA Architectes, in Paris

The great Marxist architect and theorist Sergio Ferro, whose critique of the division of labour of design reveals surplus value extraction and violence on global building sites, closes the first day of the Production Studies international conference. ‘our pessimism is optimistic’
