A long overdue change this. Worrying that it's not confirmed as 0% VAT for Retrofit as yet but let's hope so

The government should reduce the VAT paid on retrofit projects to reflect their environmental benefits compared with new-build, a committee of MPs has said

Having seen San Siro in person recently it is an absolute travesty that it's being demolished.

So many people I speak to in Scotland lament the closure of The Lighthouse (soon to be another coworking space). And seeing the successs of The Farrell Centre in Newcastle really highlights this lack of public facing centre for architecture and planning.

It’s time to give Scottish architecture a public platform again
With no permanent venue for architectural discussion since the closure of The Lighthouse, Rab Bennetts calls for a renewed public platform to reconnect design, policy and civic engagement in Scotland

At the Triannale Milano exhibition Inequalities curated by Stefano Boeri. A super dense show with a lot of innovative work next to some duller bits. A bit cluttered when it comes to sound and visuals but pretty good overall

The affordability and supply problem are not the full story. The flats we’ve built could be uninhabitable by 2050. We need to talk about this more, writes Peter Apps

A digital 3D model, displayed against a plain black background. White text above reads: “The Israel Defense Forces used a Scottish museum’s 3D models in propaganda videos.” The image is branded with The Ferret’s logo in the corner.

857 people arrested in a single day in London for holding signs opposing Israel’s genocide in Palestine

These include Holocaust survivors, vicars, retired nurses and teachers. So many of them are elderly.

New Housing secretary Steve Reed coming out the gate with boring "Build baby build" mantra. Build what exactly? Just new homes or social housing too? And what about retrofit and insulation. Where's the ambition for building what's needed?
