If interested to hear the life/love story of PP and SM @teethandtoilets , development of Nepal sanitation projects and the emergence of the PPF, then listen to our podcast on the PPF Youtube channel, link in bio.
It can be achieved in bite size listening chunks, music is always a great spacer.
Big thanks to @timhorton_ for encouragement and production and to @sagarviolin for calm knowledgeable interviewing.

Introducing Sam, PPLiving Environment Scholar 2026. Sam’s study Building Together: What Can We Learn From Each Other? focuses on how custom building outcomes can be democratised so that a distinct expression of place within the built environment has the support to emerge and encourage identification with local shared spaces. His case studies will examine:
How can architecture and landscape architecture creatively negotiate, manoeuvre and circumvent the political and economic frameworks of our built environment?
As professionals, how can we harness maintenance, adaptation and participatory forms of spatial production in our design processes?
How can temporary and participatory forms of spatial production present an important opportunity to reengage people in the making and maintenance of their environments?
What opportunities and barriers exist when these case studies are compared with their specific local regulatory and statutory mechanisms?
