@sevensixfive 🤔

This is called a Masters in Landscape Architecture and it’s great

@yachtdestroyer @wingedisis @sarajcarr Central Park/Seneca Village? Iirc Olmsted’s plan erased the community at the behest of the state.

@wingedisis @sarajcarr Is there anyone in LA/planning who's theorized about how when you get contacted for a public project you basically become an arm of the state? Just finished a master's and tried to talk to students about this wrt some stuff happening here in Germany but it didn't really hit

@sarajcarr 🤔

@sarajcarr Adding on this, let’s not forget the expectations of design teaching to higher Ed. The shift away from teaching design to developing research. The resulting focus or desire to hire specialist instead of generalist has also had an impact on the ability of others to design

Poking around like it's after the 20th year hs reunion, and you stopped by the neighborhood bar for wings and classmates...

More thoughts on Making spaces for Making spaces: The precarious line between designers/makers and making/hoarding is the the difference between and distribution and storage

Wondering how many students assume knowing AutoCAD, etc is the sole goal of school to get that fast design job. forgetting that AutoCAD has been iterating since 1982 and adobe photoshop since 1987, calling them releases, and they still don’t have it right…

@LangeAlexandra 1st you make your transportation system, and then your transportation system makes you...

Teens can also taste freedom at 4MPH if you build sidewalks, or 10+ MPH if you build bike lanes

@sevensixfive The sound of transistor radios you'd build from scratch. Audio quality so irritable it pinches your ear drums and scratches your eyes...

People don’t realize that their phone speaker sounds like a squalking plastic walkie talkie from Toy-r-Us to everyone else around them.

Where is Andrew Kromelow,

Our goal is to demonstrate ways students can say “maybe you just suck,“ to their instructors without any long term repercussions to their academic standing. 3/3

In contrast, classroom feedback is often presented as anonymous, but faculty are often able to identify who the author is based on the tone of the comments. In this paper, we will explore ways of using text-based AI platforms to scrub the identity of students in feedback. 2/3

Who da hell chat?: Exploiting text based AI platforms to scrub identity from Feedback. Abstract: text based AI platforms, such as ChatGPT are frequently criticized for their inability to capture the voice of the prompt author. 1/3

@maxyamp @fasc1nate There are 2, 3 standing houses in the legal limits- but no zip code. No zip code, no census?

@fasc1nate I thought maybe it was a typo, supposed to say five-hundred or five-thousand.. but nope, it's actually around 5 (4, to be precise?) Maybe someone was pregnant at the time of the census but they can't be sure of the status of the baby 😢

Centralia, Pennsylvania, a former coal mining town, has been burning for almost 60 years. In 1962, the town council decided to burn a landfill, unaware it connected to underground mine shafts. This ignited a coal seam, which continues to burn. After spending $7 million trying to put out the fire, Pennsylvania gave up in the 1990s. Despite the dangers, around five residents still live there. With coal supplies under the town, the fire could burn for another 250 years.

@JenniferEditor @theprovenwinner Approx 35-40% of HS’s don’t have calc (and imagine where they are/who they serve), it seems to me part of the STEM status is advocating for that 35-40. If we want a diverse profession, it means we give them resources that are more than introductions- think academic tools

@JenniferEditor @theprovenwinner But has that k-12 impact been demonstrated in “allied professions” as sincere introduction? For me this is a HUGE issue. If we’re really trying to reach those people we need to advocate for them in those classrooms.

@sevensixfive I stopped after the Churchill quote and the estimate about the amount of time spent in buildings… SO many problems on 45 seconds

Absolute reactionary pseudoscience.

@theprovenwinner @mollymehaffy MEANWHILE- we’re rushing towards stable engineering solutions- cuz industry

@theprovenwinner Actually a typo- field, not filed…
