A couple of decades later, Charles and Ray Eames released a short documentary inspired by Boeke's 40 jumps. The movie is recognized as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and explores the notions of scale even more vividly. youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhv…

A wonderful tool by @ITDP_HQ explaining what walkability is, how to measure it, and why cities that are good for babies are good for the entire population.👏 pedestriansfirst.itdp.org

I made my first webmap! I've been trying to learn new skills so I built a webmap of NYC land use. I used QGIS, HTML, CSS, JS, and Mapbox to build it. I'm happy with how it turned out! Play with it here: bit.ly/2E3kCoN Thank you @morphocode your tutorial is amazing!

From 1965 to 1969, Hansjörg Mayer published 26 issues of an influential visual poetry broadsheet named after Futura typeface. Some of our favorite pieces include Peter Schmidt's "programmed squares," Frieder Nake's "computer grafik," and Wolf Vostell's "de coll age." 🤓
