2 w. ago ‘Bark is the original dampproof membrane!’ Meet the radical designers who let nothing go to waste

As their experimental structures made out of cactus plaster, tree resin and chopped straw appear in the real world, eco research studio Material Cultures explains why nature has all the best building materials“It’s like nose-to-tail eating, but for trees,” says Paloma Gormley, co-founder of the ecological design studio Material Cultures. “Industrial timber production is so wasteful. We should be making the most of every element of the tree, from its bark to the natural glue-like lignins and rosins – it all has value.”The organisation’s philosophy is currently on display at London’s V&A in a show called Material Cultures: Woodland Goods. A hairy brown wall hangs in the museum’s furniture gallery, alongside some unusual plywood stools whose seats have been exchanged for slabs of compressed bark. Nearby are sheet materials made from pine needles and sap, papery silver birch bark encrusted with dried moss, and other experiments with things gathered from the forest. It’s quite a cont...

3 w. ago Gatsby by Jane Crowther; The Gatsby Gambit by Claire Anderson

Two enjoyable debut novels put fresh meat on Fitzgerald’s deathless classic – one a modern-day retelling in which Gatsby becomes a female influencer, another a pacy murder mystery in the vein of Agatha ChristieIt might seem unfathomable to us now, but F Scott Fitzgerald’s third novel was something of a let-down when it was published 100 years ago; his previous books, This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned – there had also been a novella, The Diamond As Big As the Ritz, and short stories including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – had been more commercially successful and found greater favour with critics. Fitzgerald’s tale of obscure origins, extreme wealth and obsessional romantic desire appeared too unlikely, too contrived and, perhaps, too uncomfortable a reminder of class and financial inequality and its consequent social schisms to be recognised for what it was: a masterly exploration of delusion, self-delusion, myth-making and complicity.Fitzgerald himself died...
