"buildings with perforated brick walls maximize natural light and ventilation...screens such as sunshades, ventilated roofs and integrated greenery...traditional building materials and techniques are recovered...Hollow bricks, wood and especially bamboo" www.domusweb.it/en/sustainab...

Architecture has much to learn from Vietnam

Natural ventilation, passive cooling, and local materials: in Vietnam, a new generation of architects is experimenting with design strategies for buildings resilient to climate change.

Great design isn’t just for iconic buildings. This is a stormwater treatment facility, but it’s nicely designed by gh3* architects!

Millions have been allocated to remove asphalt from schoolyards and replace it with green spaces, such as plants and trees, providing much-needed shade for students. One local company, SLA, is also using the funds to train people who have few job prospects, giving them valuable skills.

Providing shade in schoolyards and valuable skills to young job seekers

The founder of this South East L.A. company grew up going to schools with few green spaces and living in neighborhoods with limited job prospects.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Does anyone have recommendations for critical/scholarly writing on the interplay between individual and collective or systemic action on environmental issues? Stuff that looks at the pitfalls and potential of frameworks like personal carbon footprints or individual consumer choice?
