Here is a video on Abdel Moneim Mustafa in Sudan, using some of my photographs taken before the current war and destruction. We do not know exactly the status of these buildings today due to war. It is both very rewarding and sad to watch the images.

Please consider signing

We urge you to vote for war powers resolutions to end the war on Iran, and to reject all additional funding for the war.

‘Architecture and the Right to Heal’ Traces Displacement in the Wake of the Ottoman Empire “What is perhaps most surprising about ‘Architecture and the Right to Heal,’ given its grim subject, is that at its core it retains optimism,” writes Izzy Kornblatt of Esra Akcan's new book.

A very good review of my book "Right to Heal" just came out in Architectural Record. Thank you Izzy Kornblatt for reading so fully and carefully. @dukepress.bsky.social @kwissoker.bsky.social @cornellaap.bsky.social

I often feel we are in a thankless occupation as authors and scholars trying to keep books alive in a world where they are among the most threatened species. But then there are moments like this event for me, when I know all the years of researching and writing are worth it.

Israeli soldiers had attempted to cover ...

Forensic Architecture and Earshot prove with certainty that Israeli soldiers killed and covered up the killing of 15 Gaza Aid workers. Murdering humanitarian aid workers is a crime under international law (remember international law?) @forensicarchi.bsky.social
