People waste anywhere from 19 to 24 gallons of water per day from flushing alone. These designers think they have a better way. f-st.co/x6XVqwB
There **are** better ways to build a toilet! @FeargusOSull visited the Pavilion of Finland @la_Biennale for @Bloomberg @CityLab - here's his report on how cities like @myhelsinki are taking steps to reduce water misuse and view waste as a resource:

My highlight of @la_Biennale was having the opportunity to talk to inspirational curator @ArjaRenell and Hanna Harris (Chief Design Officer @Helsinki) about Huussi & the future history of sanitation at the Pavilion of Finland:

A new word in the lexicon of sanitation - "Huussi" made it's first appearance in the @nytimes on the 22nd of May.

"The story of architecture is incomplete - not wrong, but incomplete - it is in this context that exhibitions matter"
@LokkoLesley's launch of #BiennaleArchitettura2023 as a platform for untold stories has us excited for @la_Biennale. See you in Venice

Come and see (and smell) the reason that London was built where London was built. I’m going to take folk for a walk along the long-hidden river Walbrook as part of @INGmedia’s contribution to @openhouselondon - all details linked below
Today marks the start of @openhouselondon 2022 🏘️
Curated by @ZoeACave & @PhinHarper, the #festival includes a huge selection of places across #London.

We did it! 🏅
Congrats to the @INGmedia x @LandAid dream team for smashing the 5/10/15k runs and raising a whopping £2k to fight youth #homelessness.
If you're feeling charitable or inspired, there's still time to donate 👇

Last minute update - I guess most who know me are aware that I like running, but this is for a good cause so if you're able to bung a few quid into the pot, you should!
Good Luck to the 20-strong @INGmedia team💪🏃♀️!
Our runners will be in Regent's Park this afternoon taking part in the #LandAid10k to raise money and awareness for youth #homelessness.
It's your last chance to #donate to this incredibly important cause and support our 20-strong team - thank you

Tonight I attended the vigil for Shatha Ali who was killed by a lorry at the #DangerousJunctions at Holborn on Tuesday 🧵
I voted for @SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon twice and I’m glad he’s my Mayor but he has to answer to this - these deaths cannot be allowed to continue.

A family has lost a truly kind soul, killed while cycling in #Holborn 💔
Join us tonight and demand ACTION to stop these needless deaths. London’s #DangerousJunctions must be fixed NOW. Women especially welcome.
Assemble 5.30pm, Russell Square.

I'll be attending the vigil for Shatha Ali, who was killed at the dangerous junction at Holborn earlier this week.
Drop me a DM if you'd like to ride together.
Holborn protest; assemble 17.30 this Friday at Russell Sq.
This Friday will be the 4th LCC Holborn protest following cycling fatalities in the one way system.
Every road death is preventable. Continued inaction on #DangerousJunctions is inexcusable.

Hi @MuseumofLondon I’ve just been turned away from the museum by a security guard because I’m pushing a tired toddler in a pram that I can’t leave in the buggy park. It’s 2022! What’s going on?

Swanfield St to Virginia Rd: once a quiet street, now rat-run. Very dangerous as dense neighbourhood, MANY schools within 200m. No crossing. Video shows bike nearly being hit by a car (bike has right of way). Bring back Liveable Streets, bring back the filter. @BetterStreetsTH
Six cyclists have been killed at Holborn gryatory in the past decade. Why won't @TfL @CamdenCouncil fix this dangerous junction?
