“One can’t just populate a place, even a virtual one, by just pixels alone.” 

“Crypto Cities,” my recent article featuring examples of @decentraland @fr_ee_archt and @CityDAO on new ways how to use #bitcoin and #DAO in the creation of #cryptocities - read it in @revueAA

thanks a lot @contexttravel and @DesignObserver for the opportunities to walk and talk, to write and share

[Context Travel - For Curious Travelers @contexttravel]

Lisbon architect turned Context expert, Bert de Muynck, was recently featured in an article with @DesignObserver. He captures so poetically the core of what we strive for here at Context, in every interaction of ours all around the world.

@tomravenscroft @dezeen Zaiha Hadid Architects

[bertdemuynck @bertdemuynck]

@dezeen @patrik_schu Zaiha Hadid Architects in this case

[bertdemuynck @bertdemuynck]

@BrothersCammy exactly... and lacking quite some imagination along the way - missing a big time "Zaiha Hadid" opportunity here

8/8. LAGOS | “It was neither politics nor violence that led to the construction of the building, but it was close to a protest.” - excellent #writing by Oris Aigbokhaevbolo @Catchoris on #art, #architecture, #community and Lagos.

As 2022 ended, for @e_flux Architecture, I visited Vernacular Art-space Lab, an unlikely art hub in Iwaya, near the Makoko "slums.

There, I had a long conversation with its founder, the tireless Remi Adegbite.

The result of that visit is out now.

8/8. CRITICISM | architecture critics in the comments - against retroactive deleuzional takes and other rhizoshizomatic madness - check out this thread via @ytheory1 and @LangeAlexandra

JFC the problem with contemporary architecture criticism is that no one will pay for it

7/8. TILES | hobbies of the infinite and exploring the continuum of aperiodic tiles - “I noticed that it was producing a tessellation that I had not seen before,” he said. “It’s a tricky little tile.” - very much enjoyed reading this by @EricaKlarreich

[Erica Klarreich @EricaKlarreich]

For more than 50 years, mathematicians have sought an “einstein”--a simple shape that can only tile the plane nonperiodically. Now a retired print technician has found one! My latest for @QuantaMagazine https://t.co/UYlKQ5OFZ3
