War is exposing something uncomfortable in modern architecture.
Most buildings only work when everything around them works.
If energy, water, or supply fails… the building fails.
For years, we took that for granted.
Not anymore.
The future needs something different:
▪️ buildings that manage water
▪️ regulate temperature naturally
▪️ produce energy
▪️ recycle resources
Buildings designed as systems, not just structures.
Because the ones that will last won’t be the most complex—
but the ones that keep working when the world around them changes.
If you want to learn how to design buildings like this, comment “Academy” below and I’ll send you more information.

This National Public Health Week, we’re reminding everyone that climate justice is public health.
From extreme heat and polluted air to flooding and food insecurity, the climate crisis is already shaping who gets to live a healthy life—and who doesn’t. And as always, the most impacted are communities that have been historically overlooked and under-resourced.
🌱 Clean air is healthcare.
💧 Safe water is healthcare.
🏡 Stable housing is healthcare.
We need solutions that put people first: investing in resilient neighborhoods, reducing pollution at its source, and ensuring frontline communities have a seat at the table.
Public health isn’t just about treating illness—it’s about creating the conditions where everyone can thrive.

Today, on #WorldHealthDay, and under the theme “Together for health. Stand with science” led by the World Health Organization (WHO) we highlight the vital role of cooperatives in advancing health and well-being for all.
Our policy brief on SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being, developed together with COPAC, highlights how cooperatives contribute to building more inclusive, resilient, and people-centred health systems worldwide.
Health cooperatives are people-centred, community-driven models that expand access to essential healthcare services, especially in underserved areas. Today, more than 3,300 health cooperatives across 76 countries serve over 100 million households, delivering affordable, inclusive, and quality care.
From providing essential health services and managing healthcare facilities, to expanding access to insurance and supporting vulnerable populations, cooperatives play a key role in strengthening resilient and equitable health systems. Their strong community roots foster trust, improve health literacy, and ensure that care responds to real needs.
By reinvesting in services, empowering health workers, and promoting democratic governance, cooperatives contribute directly to SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being, helping build healthier communities and more sustainable societies.
