"Awarding the Pritzker to a team synonymous with refurbs marks an important shift in architectural values"

Finally, a major architecture award has been given to a studio best known for refurbishments.

French architects #Anne #Lacaton and #Jean-#Philippe #Vassal who have clinched the 2021 #Pritzker #Prize, are invigorating winners because so much of their finest work is in #retrofitting -- an environmentally critical practice that is rarely celebrated by mainstream design awards.

At least 80 per cent of the buildings that will exist in 2050 already exist today

The most effective way to bring down the #carbon #emissions of #architecture, therefore, is a combination of two core strategies:
👉radically reducing demolition and new construction, while
👉dramatically improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings.

Bringing architecture in line with planetary limits will depend on redefining city-making from a form of #creation to a form of #care.

In this context, the architecture awards landscape is back to front. More and more we have been celebrating the very thing we should be doing less of – building from scratch.

The 'monkeywrenchers' have made it into mainstream fiction. Is reality next?

That #eco-#sabotage has captured so many authors’ imaginations seems to reflect a broader frustration with governments’ failure to rein in carbon emissions — a feeling that decades of peaceful protest weren’t enough, and the world is out of options.

It has propelled #climate #fiction, once a niche genre, into the mainstream. Think of The Overstory by Richard Powers, a sweeping novel that follows activists who seek to save trees at all costs, employing human barricades, tree-sitting, and arson. It won the 2019 #Pulitzer #Prize and generated glowing praise from Bill Gates as well as Barack Obama, who said it “changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it.”

History suggests that fictional #stories about eco-sabotage, sometimes called “#monkeywrenching” after Edward Abbey’s book of the same name, could inspire people to try something similar in the real world.

A mousepad and a laptop sleeve, both with the same design: "GDevelop" in the top left corner, and a grassy platformer landscape with a red player character running across the bottom. There's a yellow crystal in there too.

> On October 4th Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the #Nobel #Prize in physics for proving that the #Universe isn't #locally #real .
What I love about this story is that it's a story of quite literally some of the smartest people who have ever lived being confused and how ultimately #Einstein was #proven #wrong , which doesn't really happen all that often.
That idea of #locallyreal is made up of two concepts:
#Locality is the idea that things are only affected by their local environment - you can't flick a switch in another galaxy hundreds of light years away and instantly see the results here because nothing not even information can travel faster than light.
#Realness though is much harder to explain and that is the focus of the #NobelPrize . ...

#December 30, 1865
#OTD Rudyard #Kipling, #English #Writer & #Poet, is born.

In 1902, he purchased land called #Batemans in #EastSussex.

After winning the #NobelPrize for #Literature, he spent his #Prize money on his #Garden w/ a #SecretDoor & #Sundial inscribed:
"It's #Later than you think."

Ruddy kept a little boat in his #Pond for his kids; #Friends had adventures there, too.
After some names in the family #Guestbook, Rudyard added the letters F.I.P. for Fell in Pool. 💦😂

Along the edge of a very overgrown weedy pond, a little blue boat is moored to a wooden dock. It is a charming scene.
