01 · The Library — Climate & Overshoot
The Heatwave That Broke Memory
Europe was built for a climate that no longer exists
The north is supposed to be the escape route in the European imagination. The place with snow in the bones of the houses. The place that proves summer still has limits. The place you mention when someone complains about heat in London, Paris or Madrid and you want to remind them that another Europe does exist.

Sources
Every claim in a house essay carries a source. The number beside it in the catalogue card is counted from this list, so it appears when the list does. The full bibliographic records — author, year, publisher, DOI, and an archived copy so the footnotes do not rot — move across with the migration from Substack.
