1. Top-down planners rely on what is legible, can be measured and put into spread-sheets.
This ignores vast portions of reality.
2. Framing the issue as old vs new architecture is unhelpful.
The problem isn’t new-ness of designs,
but use of space and scale of buildings.

@build_timeless “A building, town, culture, will only be alive to the extent that it is governed
by the timeless way …
… a process which brings ORDER out of nothing but ourselves - cannot be attained - will happen of its own accord - if we will only let it”
