    The Myth of “Democratic Design” and Why the Concept Never Should Be Used Again

    There has been an inflation of the concept of ‘democracy’. City-planning, public talks, town squares, and design in general, are today termed ‘democratic’.

    Look Up: Climate Change Is Not a Crisis, It’s a Beating

    We are ruining the planet to such an extent that it prompted scientists to proclaim the start of a new geological period. The Anthropocene, they called it, emphasising the influence of humanity on the environment. “Influence” is perhaps too soft a term to describe what George Monbiot calls a “full s...

    Seen in its pure materiality, as a giant rock speeding through outer space, our planet can be examined through the lenses of astronomy, geology, physics and chemistry. If we focus on the thin layer of life on its surface, however, we need to resort to a particular branch of biology, known as ‘ecolog...
