Did you know @thameswater leak 635,600,000 litres of water per day from their creaking, badly maintained, underinvested pipes. That's enough water to supply almost 4.5 million people ever day, half the population of London. Water that's robbed from rivers and streams and wasted.

Are the UK’s new Part L building regulations fit for purpose? An interesting piece in @PBC_today discusses whether it will help with the important issue of decarbonising our existing buildings stock hubs.la/Q01dGM4Z0

One of the privileges of my thatching work is access to some extraordinary buildings. This huge, beautiful 17th Century tithe barn left me in awe-the scale, the timbers, the history. A cathedral of agriculture

This @HLArchitects "world of Volvo" building shows how architecture has changed so much, all these things that didn't exist like the KVANT-1 renderings, CLT cut by CNC, The whole building would have been a fantasy 30 yrs ago. treehugger.com/world-of-volv…
