"A cyclone has destroyed 90% of the roofs of the second largest city in Madagascar Toamasina. Looking at the photos it is the same old story: corrugated iron sheets the worst possible against heat and winds. Once a part of it comes lose the rest of the roof has no chance. The rural towns of Madagascar is largely using traditional thatched roofs that are impervious to winds (the building might collapse but the flexible bound thatched roofs always stays intact if even moderately well built). Surely even people in Madagascar have enough experience of corrugated roofs by now."

"When I visit rural areas in Japan I always ask people how they got around before everyone had their own car (so until say 1970s). We had bus networks that looked a lot like this. And urban areas of course had their own tram networks. Now bus networks are a shadow of what they used to be an most cities have ripped up most of their old streetcar lines. Infrastructure destruction that we will probably never again be able to replace. The window of opportunity is closing fast. For the sake of our grandchildren we should transit to a more sustainable way of life while the lights are still on and"

"In Aichi Prefecture the leading architectural terracotta manufacturer in Japan (LIXIL Corporation) has a "museum" (Terracotta Park) with rescued pieces from buildings that were lost to earthquakes war or modernism. The art deco grotesques called "mascarons" were designed to be cheaply and easily mass produced and to be easily "readable from afar" hence the odd elongated shapes: they were only meant to be seen from below.
