O incluso, hasta hubiesen caído en la desesperación. Durante cinco días, se debatió allí, en el barrio de Botafogo, en Río de Janeiro, algo que, a pesar de las señales cada vez más evidentes, todavía parece lejos de las preocupaciones de la mayoría: la progresiva y cada vez más rápida degradación de la vida a partir del cambio climático. Pensadores de diversas áreas y diferentes regiones del mundo discutieron el concepto de Antropoceno: el momento en el que el hombre deja de ser agente biológico para volverse una fuerza geológica, capaz de alterar el paisaje del planeta y de comprometer su propia supervivencia como especie y la de los demás seres vivos.

The study took 32 middle-class Los Angeles families and observed them as they went about their days, going beyond superficial notions of how people live and into the real nuts and bolts of daily home life. Out of this study came the book, “Life at Home in the 21st Century,” an unflinching look at the often harried state of the modern American family. Fundamental #13.

Reexamining the fountain: in contemporary urban as well as cultural discussions we see a renaissance of the idea of common space, in german either translated as “Allmende” or “Gemeinschaft” depending on a relationship towards (city) space or social structures.

Fountain House

This is related to the dipole of the private vs. the public as the two dominant categories of the 20th century. Now in the 21st century we find many ways of being together as part of daily life, be it through social media or through community gardens or similar locally rooted projects. raumlaborberlin, Fountain House, Montreal, Canada On the other hand we tend to take for granted many achievements inherited from previous generations’ common efforts, without giving them a second thought.

The Clouds Pavilion: An Uninvited Pavilion for the 2014 Venice Biennale

Rem hypothesizes that ‘national identity has been sacrificed on the altar of modernity’ and asks participating countries to analyze their respective histories over the past 100 years as they confronted an increasingly fluid global landscape. While Rem acknowledges the survival of some ‘unique national characteristics and attitudes’ he is primarily interested in the evolution towards a single, modern architecture.

Kibera Productive Public Space. More information about the organisation A PPS is a community-driven process to reclaim waste spaces along water ways to mitigate environmental hazards, provide amenities and develop micro-enterprises to fund maintenance. Goal 1. Enhance environmental, economic & social understanding of Kibera watercourses and the impacts on the wider Nairobi River Basin amongst communities & local agencies. 2. What is Placemaking? What if we built our communities around places? As both an overarching idea and a hands-on approach for improving a neighborhood, city, or region, Placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of every community.

Strengthening the connection between people and the places they share, Placemaking refers to a collaborative process by which we can shape our public realm in order to maximize shared value. More than just promoting better urban design, Placemaking facilitates creative patterns of use, paying particular attention to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place and support its ongoing evolution. With community-based participation at its center, an effective Placemaking process capitalizes on a local community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, and it results in the creation of quality public spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, and well being. Placemaking begins at the smallest scale. Sanitation and the City.

They're the people we trust for sharing information and covering our backs. By recent estimates, 40 percent of founding teams include people who were friends socially before building their startups.

But according to new research, starting a company with your friends is a risky endeavor. When Harvard Business School professor Noam Wasserman studied nearly 10,000 founders of technology and life sciences startups, the least stable founding teams were friends. Each friendship in a founding team increased the rate of founder turnover by 28.6 percent.
