One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Have read a few pieces saying Starmer may not survive as PM & don't think people are appreciating the consequences. I can't stress enough I just don't think the public will tolerate 'one more switch of PM' instead will conclude the system is not just broken but unfixable

Joseph Rykwert influenced our work on cities, Bristol Legible City and our Festival of the Future City. His books deserve to be read widely, especially by city planners.

A teaspoon of honey equals a bee’s lifetime work. 🍯🐝 It takes one bee a lifetime to produce just 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. Every drop is pure dedication! 🌸💛
