Couple of things:
- Enormous collection of links, content and bibliography on Place and Space
- Prof. Bill “City of Bits” Mitchell is talking at the Tate Modern on Wednesday 19th
I’ve started to re-read “Space is the machine” by Bill Hillier; and I’d forgotten the brilliant quote at the start by Sheep:
“…I thought that all that functional stuff had been refuted. Buildings aren’t machines.”
“You haven’t understood. The building isn’t the machine. Space is the machine.”
I’ll be back in London for the Bill Mitchell talk, so maybe see you there.
Matt, thanks for “Space is the machine.” I’m contemplating the use of maps as interfaces for digital spaces for a paper. Zoink!
