@izurietavarea Thank you, @izurietavarea !

A beautiful photo essay about how the future will deal with how we shape it today, by my good friend John Giusto of @b4place

@CivicBrand Just like you were enjoying how close everything was on your outing this morning. By the way, can you send a breakfast taco our way? 😀

@CivicBrand We hear about density all the time, but rarely about proximity. People who like places are attracted by the proximity to the various parts of the place, not the # of people per sq mile, per se

In a recent chat with our fellow friends at @b4place they made a great point that “density” isn’t always the best term as it conjures images that aren’t a fit for all communities. Instead a better term may be “proximity”.

@lindsaybanks Nice! We also captured a high-five about biking, and a fist-bump for an incidental meeting :) youtube.com/watch?v=kXE0mp…

Photographer and filmmaker Ed van der Elsken shot in 1983 his film ‘My Amsterdam’, which starts with a fast drive through a deserted Amsterdam. Here is tribute @noorimages #edvanderelsken #myamsterdam #corona #covid19 vimeo.com/404956204?ref=…

Watch #WhyWeCycle from @fietsprofessor for free (today only) using promo code DOCSCONNECT. See and hear how the Dutch embrace cycling as a pragmatic, fun, and independent approach to transportation, happiness, and social well-being vimeo.com/ondemand/whywe…

@vrbnio Well done and congrats!

Read this article about vrbn studios in the Swiss architecture magazine “Hochparterre” (German). Enjoy! vrbn.io/media.html #vrbnstudios #3d #architecture #3denvironments #games #vfx

Hey @elonmusk ! Inspired by what you and the crew are doing down there in TX, we projected a few years forward to what Boca Chica could look like if paired with the same level of architectural ambition you're applying to @SpaceX 's multi-planetary mission b4place.com/spacex-village…

.@NewUrbanism published a very timely "urbanism in the time of crisis" webinar. Thanks to @WaltonAshleigh, @MikeLydon, Seth Harry, and Laurie Volk for their thoughtful segments! youtube.com/watch?v=jUhl4V…

We owe debts of gratitude to people who push us forward, like @elonmusk , through their willingness to take the arrows that come along with looking so far over the distant horizon. They inspire us to challenge what's possible both here on Earth and out amongst the stars 10/10

.@Tesla solar roofs will be used across the entire project for industrial and domestic electricity and rainwater collection. The Tejano/Mexican-inspired, brightly colored, courtyarded buildings along the village lanes provide plenty of shade for the long tropical summer 9/10

Amid all the distressing news, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate bold dreams and visions for the future by presenting a Property Experiment for @SpaceX 's 'Last Town Before Mars' on the south Texas coast 1/10

While considering what @SpaceX 's “Last Town Before Mars” on the South Texas coast might look like, we're reminded of the Indian Ocean Island urbanism of Lamu off the coast of Kenya #ProximityParadox
