100% agree that Glasgow's management of its built environment needs to change, but 100% disagree that this 'heritage' is 'irreplaceable.'

Call me old-fashioned but in my day we took a second to think about whether we were going to kill someone.
I mean, it’s possible to detail stone on steel-frame beautifully; DC is full of it. But yeah, part of me is bracing for this to be more Skopje than John Russell Pope…
Ah right, did that just after asking
I’m just dying to see the stone detailing on this.
Where’s the detail Neil?

Recently I saw NZ's Beehive parliament in the flesh, driven by curiosity after @cinemashoebox.bsky.social's twitter parliament culture war. Basil Spence's bit is cool by itself but the way it plays with the classical form it extends is exquisite. Those trads have no idea what they are missing!
I hope he isn’t putting too much effort into a deal that won’t be worth the paper it’s written on! I hope he’ll only sign something he’s willing to see ripped up!
I agree with everything you’re saying Peggy. I think maybe this is a case of different expectations; mine were extremely low after Carney’s 1st statement, and I was surprised to hear him walk it back and acknowledge that this is an illegal war. I’m not surprised though with how equivocating he was.
But of course it’s up to the lawyers and judges to decide if it violates the law. Who else? That said, legality and morality are 2 different things, and he’s been silent on the latter. But to come out and say that there is a prima facie legal objection is a step forward, and more than I expected.
I’m no Carney fan Peggy, but this sounds to me like pretty much the opposite of your interpretation: he’s saying the onus is on the US and Israel to justify this war, and in the absence of a compelling argument it violates international law.

We have been making it very easy for you to learn and build the best possible practices. Keep in mind that we do not sell this; timber-, straw- and earth construction do not fit into the logic of linear capitalist economics. It is different. Circular, open/free, independent, participative, useful.
Today in a new free post on ‘All Old Strange Things’ I delve into one of my perennial hobbies - which is trying to track down early Neo-Gothic architecture pre-dating Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill open.substack.com/pub/drfranci...

Mortar. Likely the same mortar they are bedded with. The joint may have been pointed to within a 1/4” or so of the top, and a sealant of some sort applied over it, but I don’t see much evidence of that on the stone.
Revisited some Rådhuset photos while messing around in Lightroom so you’re getting Asplund on your feed again. I miss him too
