Not poetry, but policy: The opening slides for my presentation at the #MediaAtmospheres symposium today – and a starting point to conceptualize how architectural media (including urban policy documents) are a site of both representing present atmospheres and constructing future atmospheres.

Had a brilliant time last week reflecting on "Writing with/for Others" with the RMa Students in Arts & Culture at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social – we talked about our 'audiences', embracing 'crises' in our writing processes and making collaborative forms of thinking + writing + publishing more common.
