citizens

"maybe cities can be developed by citizens"

amen:
One of the better solution-oriented TED talks I've came across in a while.

Two ESP principles I can relate to this video, still in the process of overcoming the frustration caused by the course and fully appreciating it's usefulness xD

• Design for assembly principles in the design of the wikihouse (ie. symmetrical parts)
• Avoid the client's implied solution of extending the schoolhouse and instead deconstructing the problem (overcrowding of halls)

Quite excited to see how the paradigm would have changed by the time I graduate, and how I can further improve it.
