This is hilarious! šŸ˜† Californians should go for it! šŸ‡©šŸ‡° www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/e...

This is how we should be protesting! Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is amazing. youtu.be/25AUCNZKEnY?...

Thatā€™s biophilic design at work! #eartharchitecture

Here is the full breakdown of the impacts on housing. 30% of our overall timber comes from Canada and a lot of gypsum and lime from Mexico. What an idiot. šŸ™„ #affordablearchitecture #eartharchitecture www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/e...

My colleagues are contacted regularly by recruiters. I never am. Why? Because Iā€˜m over 50 (ageism is rampant in Europe). DEI doesnā€™t mean I would automatically be hired because of my age. It just means employers would know I exist and find out how qualified I am. www.cbsnews.com/news/dei-div...

How unbelievably stupid can you be? Was making sure you never have energy efficiency regulations and have to put even one inch of insulation on a building really worth it? #eartharchitecture #affordablearchitecture

The Trump administrationā€˜s move to bring down construction costs? 46% of our imported timber comes from Canada. Genius. šŸ¤”šŸ™„ #affordablearchitecture www.usitc.gov/research_and...

Circular timber construction and a social place to gather. Nice project! #eartharchitecture

Iā€™m very curious to see the final result of this 3D printed eco-house currently under construction in Italy. The printed material is clay sourced from the building site supported by a wood structure. #eartharchitecture #affordablearchitecture www.3dwasp.com/en/itaca-the...

Really nice adaptive reuse. #affordablearchitecture #eartharchitecture

These women didnā€™t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permissionā€”they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

Too cute! #sporthorsebreeding

#affordablearchitecture canā€™t get off the ground without initiatives like this!

So this past fall semester, I wrapped up my tenth year of teaching for the School of Architecture at Miami Universityā€™s study abroad center in Luxembourg. Itā€™s been an incredible journey! #eartharchitecture #affordablearchitecture #mudec #miamiuniversity

Love these colors šŸ¤Ž #eartharchitecture #affordablearchitecture #architecture www.archdaily.com/1025929/2025...

Yep.

One of my favorite projects of our firm designed by Sahar and Henri Neuman, a master carpenter in Luxembourg. Using French high altitude Larch from about an hour away along with local spruce and pine, he carefully crafted it over 6 years. saharchitects.lu/portfolio-he... #eartharchitecture

Yay for Rilette! #sporthorses www.cnn.com/2025/01/17/e...

Iā€™m curious if anyone has had an experience with these homes. They wouldnā€™t fit on most sites in Luxembourg, and I doubt they would pass our building regulations. They also look very expensive. Anyone know them? #affordablearchitecture #eartharchitecture

The Westphalian stallion licensing and auction is getting underway! #sporthorsebreeding #sporthorses #dressage onlineauction.westfalenpferde.de/en/auctions/...

The Team Tate Academyā€˜s Black Friday sale is going on now! #dressage #sporthorses eurodressage.com/2024/11/29/t...

Sabine is a fantastic rider and a great person. Well deserved! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ #dressage #sporthorses horsesdaily.com/article/sabi...

Many climate activists protest things such as flying, but the airline industry only produces 2% of global emissions. Compare that to the 37% coming from the building industry. Concrete production alone is 7-8%. Changing how we build can have a huge impact. #eartharchitecture

In Luxembourg, we will be required to report the embodied CO2 of the buildings we design in 2028. But there are still debates. Should we assume all of the carbon locked in the wood structure will be released at the end of the buildingā€™s life? #eartharchitecture www.istructe.org/resources/bl...
