RT @StephenPiment: Surviving the Show: The New Asceticism of Ivan Illich by @LMSacasas in @TheSideViewCo https://thesideview.co/journal/surviving-the-show/

RT @kristenhaaf: This one is worth a read for anyone disillusioned with the top-down standardization of modern city-making. @dbaboci ponders cities organized like DNA – “a multitude of bottom-up instructions and switches that express themselves when exposed to local signals and conditions.” https://twitter.com/thesideviewco/status/1459178438162477071

RT @AE_Robbert: 1/2 Our latest piece from @dbaboci, “The Deeper Order of Cities,” describes how local urban planning might come together w/ new coordination technologies (like DAOs) to change the way people collaborate & make decisions. Christopher Alexander & Jane Jacobs are both touch points.

Come for the buzz, stay for the astute observations and useful frames. https://twitter.com/VitreousSolid/status/1459204409817280512

“A digital garden that cross-pollinates ideas,” sounds just right @dbaboci ✌️ https://twitter.com/dbaboci/status/1459191779018870790

RT @dbaboci: I published an essay on @TheSideViewCo discussing more distributed and cooperative urban planning enabled by combining complexity science, Christopher Alexander’s pattern language and blockchain technology. https://twitter.com/TheSideViewCo/status/1459178438162477071

The Deeper Order of Cities Small-scale urban planning coupled with decentralized, interactive local governance can enable patterns to emerge into a more complex form of citymaking. By Joni Baboci (@dbaboci) https://thesideview.co/journal/the-deeper-order-of-cities/

RT @ESpacewalk: Good morning! New @TheSideViewCo essay: “Illich’s historical work, then, denaturalizes vision in order to awaken us to the possibility of training our eyes. Our task, then, would be to cultivate an ethos of seeing or new habits of vision ordered toward the good.” – @LMSacasas https://twitter.com/TheSideViewCo/status/1458459724890849284

RT @AE_Robbert: “We do not sense these openings with our physical eyes and ears, though certain generative patterns and the proper play of light and sound may evoke them. In truth, living centers reveal themselves only to our subtler senses, to our imaginative and moral organs of perception.”

RT @AE_Robbert: “Living architecture has the potential to profoundly alter the way we relate to the planet and wider universe. A building composed of what Alexander calls “living centers” literally opens a window to deeper layers of reality.”
