"As we create new places, we need to do it with adaptive repurposing in mind, so that they have a chance of remaining well-loved and cared for into the future." John Giusto of B4Place takes us on an old-school cruise: buff.ly/2VJlvIR

@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”.

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

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

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
