    We need to rebuild with housing in mind. The homeless might care what their houses look like, but having a safe and comfortable home comes first. If we need endless rows of modular houses, so be it.

    Would be better quality than the stuff they’re throwing up onto the highways in the middle of nowhere in FL

    Developers cloned the same boring houses for corporate profit and called it ‘efficiency’. Glad someone is finally using technology to bring soul back to architecture.

    All “NEW” ideas are just various ways we can put more humans out of work.

    Dwellings are a simple matter. Step by step they assemble to accommodate. Place is a separate matter. Regarding the dwelling one only needs to consider it alone. Regarding place one usually considers it from away. Away is no different than one’s place, in consideration. Else one has gone too far or not far enough, to consider their dwelling.

    This talk deeply moved me by reframing homes as vessels of identity rather than mass-produced shelters. It is heartbreaking to see soulless development and war strip away cultural heritage. Yet, Joucka’s vision of fusing ancient traditions with modern technology fills me with profound hope.

Where you live shapes your relationships, your emotions and even how long you live, says community designer Zach DeBoer. After studying what a century of building cities around cars has done to downtowns in the US, he turned to lessons from some of the most walkable, carefully designed streets in the country: the ones inside Disney theme parks. With ideas ranging from narrower roads to buildings that pull you around the next corner, he offers a practical guide to turning ordinary downtowns into magical places people want to explore.
