Digging through some web sites today, I ran across two more to share. First, a model for how teachers and pupils might relate that, to a veteran of teaching, seems so, well, poignant. Second, a cybernetic utopia for rodents eerily reminiscent of Moshe Safdie’s Habitat.

Architecture Machine Lab Videos
The Institute for the Future of the Book has put up a web page containing videos from the Architecture Machine Group, which later evolved into the MIT Media Lab. Two things immediately fascinate me about this project. First, as Institute for the Future of the Book Director Bob Stein has pointed out, much of this material is still visionary and like the work of Kit Galloway and Sherri Rabinowitz, still hasn’t been made real. Second, what fascinates me is that this project, which is so foundational to our notions of the user interface begins in the discipline of architecture and is fundamentally spatial in character.
