Longing for the city of friends.

Did you know that in Arabic, there are 12 levels of friendship?

For every level of friendship, there is an Arabic word to describe it. From Sadeeq to Khaleel, it is rare to find all 12 levels of friendship in one person.

A thread on the 12 levels of friendship in Arabic…

'Robin Monotti on biourbanism versus the Smart City'
"Biourbanism is an interdisciplinary approach to urban planning and design that focuses on creating sustainable, healthy, and livable cities that integrate nature and human well-being.
It emphasises the relationship between the built environment and natural systems, aiming to enhance the quality of life for both people and the environment.
The concept of biourbanism recognises that cities and urban areas have a significant impact on the natural environment, as well as on human health and happiness. It seeks to address the negative effects of urbanisation, such as pollution, overcrowding, and a lack of green spaces, by promoting ecological principles and sustainable practices.

Meanwhile, a smart city is an urban area that utilises technology, data, and connectivity to improve the quality of life for its residents, enhance sustainability, and optimise the efficiency of various urban services and systems.
It integrates information and communication technologies (ICT) with physical infrastructure to create a connected and intelligent urban environment.
A foundation of a smart city is centralisation, population control and mass surveillance, making it technocratic, transhumanist and a violation of liberty." @RealJermWarfare https://t.co/aU4qxPmDui

"This issue celebrates the 101st year of Antonio Lima-de-Faria, Professor Emeritus at Lund University, Sweden. This famous geneticist, authoritative scholar, and luminous free mind has studied the necessary constraints of life and the relation between order, form, and function."

We asked architect and writer @marwa_alsabouni what is happiness. She answered with a beautiful note: Finding happiness in war-torn #Syria.

People fail to understand that this is not about beauty. It's about love, life, peace, and all that stuff that resists the nonsense of hatred, death, war.

Musical and architectural composition: this drawing by Sergio Los translates the theme of a Russian song: the directions of the various lines correspond to the notes, the duration of which is represented by the length of the segments. Angles, rather than lenghts, represent notes.

"But before the bat came the fireflies. They lit up like a stream of gold kernels emerging from soil, just to show their light and retreat back into the dark silhouettes of barns and sheds peppered across a forest green sea."
