"We need a cultural shift. We have to reimagine what good housing looks like — and recognize that compact, well-designed, community-oriented housing in walkable neighborhoods isn’t a compromise. It’s the goal." @holz-bau.bsky.social closing Gensler interview quote www.gensler.com/blog/unlocki...

Montana is leading the nation on pro-housing policy — but not by accident.

Homegrown timber, straw, screw foundations, robots. Whole life cycle analysis. The new robotic living lab by Bennetts Associates delivers it all 👏🏽. #strawhouse #strawbuilding. Typically you'd expect all sorts of excuses to build with status quo materials, not here. www.linkedin.com/posts/bennet...

The U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps was an all-Black unit of soldiers created to see if bicycles could effectively transport troops. In 1896, the Corps did a test run from Missoula, Montana to Yellowstone National Park, where this photo was taken. #BlackHistoryMonth

Someone was asking me if there is #strawbale building in #Italy. Of course, there is #strawbuilding almost everywhere. Just not yet in the quantity that it replaces highly fossil construction of today. (It could, for a good chunk.) www.archdaily.com/875652/scl-s... #strawhouse

A modern home in Pacific Palisades survived the fire while all the homes around it burned. It was luck, but also it was made to withstand a wildfire, and it did. I spoke with the architect who designed it, plus other architects, about designing for disaster: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Seems counterintuitive to talk about #strawbuilding while the climate arsonists in the offices are setting the world on fire? Brace yourself for a reality check. Straw panel from ecococon.eu

This is due to Republicans moving to Montana under the spell of Yellowstone’s John Dutton. Montana’s political landscape has changed because newcomers see this state as a place free of regulations—an imagined libertarian cowboy lifestyle. We’ve gone from purple to red because of western mythology.

Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...

“Powerhouses” - I do love good branding. The last point is to not build new if you don’t have to. The US is really good at tearing down buildings… sometime just a few decades old.

I just learned that in Spanish a heat pump is known as a 'UNA BOMBA DE CALOR' and it sounds cool and edgy and we should all adopt the term.

Thanks to all the new connections over here. Here is a peek at a CLT building in Wilson, Wyoming that we designed to meet the Low Energy Standard / Passive House International. Certification still a work in progress, but the finished project enjoys some nice views of the Teton range.
