Last Thursday I took part in a search for architecture’s big questions.

I explained the underpinning idea here, but in summary it’s about finding great questions.

We had some great questions. #bigquestions was trending in Australia for a while, and in Sydney for most of the evening. That’s an impressive reach for something that was pretty much unplanned.

This Thursday it’d be great to have another go! The more people know about it, the more people who tweet questions, the better the list we’ll end up with will be. We’ll get going at about 2pm (AEST, so that’s 4am GMT, 9pm PT).

If you’d like to help then share this post or just tell people about the idea.

Here’s some of my favourite tweets:
