Through the Ger Innovation Hub and Plug-in on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Rural Urban Framework reconciles traditional nomadic shelters with a more permanent much denser lifestyle.
.
The Mongolian word ‘ger’ (yurt) means ‘home’. The ger’s highly evolved design makes it easy to disassemble, move and reassemble in a matter of hours without any tools.
.
Through their work with GerHub, RUF has addressed environmental and social challenges resulting from nomads settling in the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, where the traditional, portable ger collides with more fixed urban life.
.
The Ger Innovation Hub is intended to forge a sense of common endeavour in a community with no work for ‘community’

From the Land issue ⛰️ Private Land, Brassington, Peak District, 1989, from Fay Godwin’s Our Forbidden Land series, a polemic for the right to roam which Godwin followed up by rallying MPs to trespass on land owned by the Duke of Devonshire. God win is known for her romantic representations of the British Landscape but also as a socialist and active environmentalist using her photography to reveal subjects such as occupation and intervention⠀

Our Land issue is here 🌾🐾 Notions of ownership and belonging, of construction and production, and all that make up the knotted web of layers and connotations associated with the word "land" both express the colonial structures that underpin our understanding of the world and exert that coloniality back upon it. This issue begins to pull at the threads that weave these brutal logics into the earth, bringing to the fore stories from Mongolia, Palestine, South Africa, Vietnam, France, and Sweden that help us challenge our understanding of the ground we stand on – follow the link in our bio to get a copy of the issue

At 93, Doshi spends his time with his family, filling sketchbooks and diaries. He often tells of the importance of sketching and the creative stimulation that comes from loosening, letting the imagination free, and the flow rush from the hand to the whole body. Doshi speaks of the imagination as 'an unknown spirit' that makes the heart throb. In his letter to a young architect, he encourages the reader to ‘recall your childhood, don’t grow too rigid and take a chance’

From the Letters to a young architect 💌 Tomà Belanda’s alphabet of works. Learning from by reading and redrawing the colleagues’ projects, as means to construct his own alphabetic repertoire. Each work is chosen because when studying the build Tomà was drawn to the spatial, the structural order and ultimately the foundations of the ‘writing of place’. Here is an example of Tomà’s alphabetic repertoire

The Young Architect 💌
by Gurjit, May 29, 2020
.
I am young and I am not scared. Though struck by this jolt I am a survivor too. I have seen now how beautiful the world can be, devoid of the ills of modern life, but have known too what it means to be without work and resource. I’ll work creatively and use resource conservatively, for the Earth may not repair itself again. It’s made me a witness to humanity, and to the excesses to it too, first the homeless, for it’s he who takes the brunt, no rulers for me and in the equal I thrive. I’ll not be gated or ghettoed and will not remain far. Albeit with sanity and rigour, I’ll hit the bars and throng the streets soon.
For I am and continue to be, a citizen of this seamless world!
