@kouriatova You read my mind ;) Wonder if they'll ever add a community engagement expansion pack...

Kudos to @UrbanOmnibus, both for the rocking party and for the serious adaptive reuse! #blockparty

@JacquiRacquel Why, hello there!

[Perkins&Will @perkinswill]

Things just got meta: Read more about our social media strategy and what it means for A/E/C via @InteriorsSource http://t.co/BvvUMhHzSm

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

The best part of waking up (at least on days like today)? Inspirational chats with @tinochow and @neilbrown, hands down.

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

Closing thoughts by @wkamkwamba remind me of the proverb often quoted by Maurice Cox: Nothing about us without us is for us. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

Agreed! MT @BigFutureGroup: Incredibly inspired by tonight's final keynote by @wkamkwamba The perfect wrap up to #PIDWeek @UofMDesign

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

.@wkamkwamba's #PIDWeek keynote teaches us that humble motivations and means can produce amazing results (and some hilarious missteps).

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

If we could all be half (or even a quarter) as resilient in our trial & error as @wkamkwamba, we'd have design solutions galore... #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

I think we've all be there... @wkamkwamba's mother thought he was crazy when he started collecting junkyard scraps for a windmill. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

An innate curiosity for how things work led @wkamkwamba to invention. But storytelling skills are def what got him to this stage. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

.@wkamkwamba was driven to explore a life outside farming, not because it was a bad option, but to learn what options there were. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

.@courtwrites welcomes @wkamkwamba, an awe-inspiring example of someone who saw a problem & designed a solution, without training. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

As do you guys! #FF MT @ACDtweets: Love the live tweeting #PIDWeek! @LATENT_DESIGN + @DailyDesignIdea need to be followed! #ASAP

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

.@katestohr notes that "mission drift" is a big risk when programs are entirely dependent on the future funders that back them. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

Government savings as the loan payback? End users as equity partners? There a tons of $ options that have yet to be explored. #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

@katestohr & @johncary See a trend toward "urban managers," an evolution of city planner (which sounds a lot like brand managers) #PIDWeek

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

@tinochow @neilbrown Next time we chat abt out neighborhood revitalization model, remind me to share my #PIDWeek takeaways, esp re: @NEAarts

[Daily Design Idea @DailyDesignIdea]

An all too common issue when orgs seek financing for projects: "If I don't know what you need, I don't know how to fund you." #PIDWeek
