A splendid day out! Back at the houses in Scotland by J. Gilbert Architects on the cover of the 2022 @IPCC_CH WGIII report (🔗bit.ly/WGIIIRpt) as examples of climate mitigation architecture. Residents well-aware their homes are on the cover of a global #ClimateReport!

Great to have the @peterwarm team inspecting our #Passivhaus sites this week. Blairgowrie, Dundee and Glasgow in a whirlwind tour. Great to get the advice and support for our teams.

Nice to see the scaffold down today, just painting the doors left to finish off to complete this phase of works! Hopefully someone from GCC can shift the rogue bin… @johngilbertarch

It is 20 years since I cycled around the world. I'm holding a slide show of the images and stories evening of 10th May 2024 at @LangsideSC, Glasgow. A pre digital, pre social media and pre google maps adventure. All welcome.

Never mind interim climate targets, what about embodied carbon targets?
Some voices on Scotland's net zero 'rollback' in the @ArchitectsJrnal, including @55n @F_L_Architects @ArchitectsCAN, here:

We'll watch the statement closely today. But my hope is that there are some new and significant climate policies to review. We are more interested in policies than targets.
Matt Bridgestock retweeted
Lots of people asking about Scotland's climate targets today (understandably).
We won't comment before we see what the Scottish Government is planning, but our position on the 🏴2030 target is already very clear. It was in two key bits of advice, published already.

I am really impressed by the two year restoration of the 553 year old Provand's Lordship, Glasgow's oldest house, led by @MrAbercrombie of @johngilbertarch.
The new lime harling might have surprised people, but it was how it would have originally appeared before the 19th century – at Glasgow, Scotland
