we didn’t build anything for 40 - 60 years. we’re still dining out on Victorian infrastructure. we’re hostages to our history and we’ve stopped making history. too many want the UK to become a museum rather than the workshop and laboratory of the world.

I remember a senior Architect and Lecturer proposing that cities should be covered in farms. So I, a precocious 19 year old, asked. Who exactly would be working on all these farms. His response? All of us. That’s when I knew some people were not serious about solving real problems. 🀑

You’re right. That being said, throwing a colleague out like trash without even the slight courtesy speaks volumes and smacks of feeling bad because it didn’t work out. The board statement didn’t thank Sam, it didn’t suggest it was a difficult decision. Worse, it insinuated that he had done something unethical, and possibly criminal.

Corrupt real estate developers are gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing working families out of the homes and apartments, only to replace them with fancy condominiums and hotels that only the very rich can afford. We need affordable housing for all.

Making Britain great again is our Manhattan project. Every layer from energy to healthcare must be upgraded with tech and creativity. The political levers of high tax / low tax just aren’t good enough.
Had dinner last night with two recently exited founders in London: such an inspiring conversation about tech-led growth in the UK. I think people are really underestimating the amount of latent patriotism, energy and capacity to build the future here πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸš€

If in doubt. Just do this.
Critics of new development often cite concerns about height as the reason for their opposition. Where these concerns are made in good faith, I believe it's because most new tall buildings appear bulky & burdensome. But we know how to design new elegant, lovely tall buildings!
