In 1940, Buckminster Fuller receieved Patent 2220482 for a prefabricated bathroom. Fuller wrote in his claim: Fuller’s design was very clever; it was designed to break up into slices so that it could be carried up a stairwell if need be.

2022 has seen the return of live-action Star Wars projects. While The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t exactly what fans were hoping for, it still certainly provided enough to satisfy many in some way or another.

It’s compact, simple and mostly wood. It’s also amazingly airtight for energy efficiency. The cover of the latest issue of my favourite Passivhaus magazine made me smile, and architect Juraj Mikurcic wondered what I would make of it: Juraj built his own wonderful Passivhaus and works with Architype, my favourite UK Passivhaus architecture firm, who designed what I still think is one of the world’s greenest buildings; Matt Hayes of Architype tells David Smith of Passive House+ how Fishleys Passivhaus fits into the environment....
