June's edition of publishing a book in a year(ish) is up. Is the end in sight for this project? Only time will tell. But we (Oliver Broadbent and I) have sent in our third draft for review. Read all about it here: bilt.online/publishing-a-boo…

Publishing a book in a year(ish) May 2023

Over the last few years I have been involved in a Martian house project by @ellaandnicki. It is an amazing way to think about #regenerativedesign and reuse and ask "how can designing for Mars help us to think about how we live on earth?" youtube.com/watch?v=Migiyq7Q…

The artists have just released a 25 minute film about the project. It is beautiful. Please can I encourage you to do these three things: 1. Please watch it. 2. Please comment on it. 3. Please share it (and/or this post).

I would love the questions they explore to be discussed much more widely. You can also support the artists (who gave their time for free) by buying a patch on their online shop: lnkd.in/edisM-KC

Just spent a really enjoyable 2 hours running a workshop on designing for Mars with @ellaandnicki and Lucy Berthoud. This included installing an art exhibition in the stairs on the way to the room which looks like this. I love the questions it asks.

Publishing a book in a year (ish): February - find out the latest! He also explores the role of the radical press in engineering which we found very thought-provoking. Take 5 minutes out of your day to enjoy it - we did! @JamesLecturer #BILT bilt.online/publishing-a-boo…
