An old photo from last year. This is 300 S. Wacker Drive in the Loop. It was a pretty nondescript building up until about 2014 when they decided to put a striking mural map of the Chicago River.

Was on my way to meet a friend and didn’t realize where I was until I looked up. At the base of Willis Tower, Chicago.

My view at lunch on Monday at the University of Illinois Chicago. A perfect day and a perfect view of one of the most famous buildings in the world: Willis Tower (or the Sears Tower for older people). It was the tallest building in the world for 25 years.

Das Hochhaus rechts wurde zwischen 1931 und 1933 gebaut und war damals das höchste Gebäude in Polen, heute ist darin das Hotel Warszawa.

Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.

We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.

Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.

"#AirConditioners used as a solution against #urban #heat are actually making it worse."

#Singapore, the #GardenCity, is still a #concrete jungle and "#HeatIsland" and is trying to make use of passive #technologies, like greenery, both on the street and the #skyscraper level.

Back alleys can reach 60° C (140° F) due to #AC usage.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is rethinking every aspect of #city living, where most people live and to where most are moving.
