Today UCLA faculty rallied in support of the student protests underway here & elsewhere with the message that Palestinian liberation lies at the heart of all social justice struggles. And that speaking on the matter is a fundamental right. My darling dog agrees!

Saudi Arabia has so much money, it’s willing to try everything. Couple that with the fact architects have so little money, they’re willing to do anything, and you have a recipe for The Line. By @danacuff in @dezeen dezeen.com/2023/09/18/the-li…

"Why would architects let themselves be so vitiated?"

A recent documentary about The Line mega-project in Saudi Arabia paints a bleak picture of the architecture profession, writes Dana Cuff.
