Home Genome Project

Home Genome Project

Home Genome Project:

The home is becoming a center for preventative health care, energy production, distributed work, and new forms of learning, entertainment, and communication. We are developing techniques for capturing and encoding concepts related to human needs, activities, values, and practices. We are investigating solutions built from an expanding set of building blocks, or “genes,” which can be combined and recombined in various ways to create a unique assembly of spaces and systems.

Urban Architects

The new Urban Architects:

These and many others are our new urban architects. I am not suggesting that the traditional roles of urban planning and architecture aren’t still important to our cities.
