Wow! Right on John, you and your group are moving forward at light speed!
ReplyDeleteWow John, this is exactly the kind of Blog I want for my web site. With the slowdown in business I am looking for new, engaging and effective ways to have conversations with my existing clients as well as attract new clients to my French Culinary Tours. Call me!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this is the way to blog. Let's start a favorite green living book list. I just finished the Omnivore's Dilemma. An eye opener in the trucking and agriculture trade.
ReplyDeleteI am re-reading A Pattern Language...almost hypnotic in it's simplicity and thoughtfulness about how we actually live and interact in our lives, spaces, and places.
ReplyDeleteSusan, please share more about the ideas in A pattern Language." Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJohn, A Pattern Language is the BIBLE for designers who consider how people interact in spaces, with each other; and how we use and build spaces appropriate to communities natural ebb and flow in all facets of daily life. Very far beyond what most city planners try to do than just accomodate function and numbers of bodies...this books makes you think about obvious things with fresh eyes. For example: children need a certain scale of space to play safely and explore life; creating safe corridors for them to transit as well as 'outdoor rooms' with lots of watchful eyes keeping shared vigil like you would have in a village.
