A wealth of lessons learnt throughout the design, construction and operation of the @Bullitt_Center - proving that what @livingbuilding embodies is not impossible and brings an abundance of long-lasting benefits for the client, the designers and end-users of the building.

Fascinating, well structured and paced, introduction to best practice and necessary practical knowledge to guide working with existing buildings - shall become evermore valuable as the need for retrofit surges in the future.
Thanks @ChrisMorganJGA for the recommendation.

We may be in a #ClimateEmergency but we must not lose sight on what is possible: this uplifting addition to anyone’s bookshelf compiles essays on comfort, happiness and satisfaction within the built environment, broken up by short photoessays on individuals’ Happy Places.

A forewarning, and explanation, of #ClimateCrisis from 1971, chillingly pre-dates the @IPCC_CH and explains where things went wrong.
Not just for the architecturally-inclined - this is urgent reading for everyone.
Thank you for the recommendation and book @shall1day
