design in the age of intelligent maps
The Netlab has the first product of this summer of work over at Adobe Thinktank. Our article, "Invisible City: Design in the Age of Intelligent Maps" went live this morning. A new link is here (2014)
Many thanks to my collaborator at the Netlab, Leah Meisterlin and to David Womack at Adobe, a great editor.
As usual, your comments make all our work worthwhile!
the secret life of robin hood gardens
I just read a beautiful post at one of my favorite blogs, Kosmograd, on “the Secret Life of Robin Hood Gardens.” Although I suppose it is better to destroy the project than tartify it with some kind of crazy scheme by Will Alsop, the thought of losing such a place is depressing. Waking up and stretching one’s arms out at Robin Hood Gardens while looking out the window must have been a fabulous experience, a moment in which one could have been capable of anything. As Komograd points out, the residents would agree, but money and urban growth beg to differ. A tragedy.
