Summer seems to be resolutely over, and I am back at my desk. Although I never really left. Today's work involves proofing and formatting the screenplay I finished yesterday, so it can be sent off in time for meetings about it in Los Angeles next week.

I'm also running a head-to-head comparison between Heptabase and Capacities, because I just can't decide between them at the moment, so I'm just going to see which one I naturally gravitate to.

Left Twitter at the end of last week. It turned out that Elon promoting the work of a holocaust-denying historian was the last straw. I've been on Bluesky for a while, so you can find me there as @juliansimpson.bsky.social

This week is going to be all about tidying up a few projects to get them off my desk before I fly to the US on Friday. I haven't been to Los Angeles since just before lockdown in 2020, so I'm excited/nervous to be doing the rounds there again.

Leaving you with a couple of pieces from Spaces this morning:

A mile-high refuge with peak architectural cred - The Spaces
The Santner Pass Refuge is only accessible on foot
Frank Lloyd Wright’s first-ever independent commission is for sale - The Spaces
Winslow House was a testbed for his ideas around organic architecture
