#HumanScale
The #Humanscale series is, IMO, one of the most important publications in the history of modern civilization. I own the 1/2/3 set, but I never got around to buying the other two sets.
I cannot stress enough how important understanding the scale of human bodies is for all #design, #engineering, and public #policy disciplines.

Timothée Chalamet on a Bike Shows How We Can Travel Faster Without Cars
Architecture holds power beyond the creation of buildings - it is a practice that shapes how people live, interact, and thrive within their communities.

Do you think the current trend of overly large home Halloween decorations is a knock-on effect from car culture? Because human-scale decorations are unnoticeable in a car, people have resorted to building car-scale decorations akin to road signs and billboards?

Cities Should Handle Car Crashes Like They Handle Frat Houses
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Bicycles are freedom. #humanscale

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Two authors wrote books. In these books they speak about whether Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk killed twitter. The answer is neither. If Twitter was alive and healthy it would never have been sold to an individual for four times its value, because its growth potential would have made this absurd.
Twitter died by 2007, with the advent of hashtags. That’s when twitter went from being a community of friends to being a community of strangers trying to get a million followers, and using hashtags to jump into conversations that they were not devoted to. At the first tuttle meetups and tweetups everyone knew everyone else from twitter. No one was a stranger to anyone else.
It’s when I went to a tweetup and I heard someone say “i’m not really a twitter user, I just came to the tweetup because it’s being hyped up.” That’s when twitter declined even more.
If we fast forward by a little more than a decade I believe that the pandemic killed Twitter, and Social Media. I believe this because before the pandemic normal people were on Facebook, and possibly Reddit and other social networks but they were not on Twitter. To a large extent they weren’t on FB either.
During the pandemic social media became more unpleasant. Trolling became more common. Trolling is the reason I dumped facebook for two to three years. Amplified loneliness is why I dumped Instagram and never returned.
The idea that Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk killed twitter is erroneous. Marketers did. Public relations firms did. People who took a utilitarian view of social media killed Twitter.
Twitter was fantastic, when it was a network of friends chatting with friends. It stopped being that in 2007-2008. I still used it but my ROI had declined dramatically.
Is this due to moving from London to Switzerland? I don’t think so. I just think that Twitter was best, when it had value to small communities, rather than marketers, public relations people and other groups with a utilitarian agenda.
Articles like this one are never written by people who live and breath social media. They are written by outsiders looking in. We could read them, but because of my perspective they have no value. By perspective I mean my attitude towards social networks and social media.
And Finally
Twitter wasn’t killed by Dorsey or Musk. It was killed by the people who took a utilitarian approach to social media. They turned Twitter from a tool for communities to have conversations, and build projects together to a place where marketers and public relations firms could hijack conversations, and make it about following celebraties, rather than conversations.
When Twitter pivoted from being a social network to social media, it became less interesting. I deleted my first twitter account by 2008 or so, and only returned because Swiss television interviewed me about the social network.
When Musk bought Twitter it was already worthless.
The End of an Era
There was a time when Twitter was Twitter, Facebook was Facebook, Instagram was Instagram and Whatsapp was whatsapp. Over time they have all been bought or rebranded, and the things that made them so fantastic were destroyed. Society saw social media as an addiction. This attitude destroyed social networks.

Human scale is a concept proposed by Oliver Sacks, a neurologist and writer, as a key idea for the future. It means we must preserve the human dimension in everything we do, from architecture to technology, from culture to nature. It also means that we have to respect our human needs and values and avoid becoming anonymous or alienated in a world that is too big, fast, or complex. #HumanScale #OliverSacks #FutureVision https://www.themarginalian.org/2023/08/05/oliver-sacks-human-scale/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter
Stumbled upon this post I wrote a few years ago (2020) about "small is beautiful" applied to architecture and web system development. Still love those ideas and concepts, will probably reuse this approach and my `tulip` #lua framework for other projects.

> Not only did he admire the painters of the early Renaissance, he applied serious analysis of his own to their techniques, observing about the Siennese and Florentine Primitives: “Their insistence on making monuments smaller than men is a result not of an ignorance of the laws of perspective but of a persistence in giving importance to the men and saints whom they depict.”

We must prioritize #disability access and #pedestrian and human-powered #traffic over vehicular #convenience. We must prioritize human #comfort over corporate #avarice.
We must advance public #policy which incentivizes #humanscale living over vehicle miles travelled. We must rebuild our city and town centers to increase density of settlement.
The technologies we use to generate power are the last things we should be thinking about. There is no such thing as "#renewable" energy generation.
8. BEAUTY
A place of high-quality ‘Baukultur’ is beautiful.
High-quality Baukultur* takes into account the sensory perception and understanding of the relationship between objects, spaces and people, increasing people’s life satisfaction and quality of life.
It emphasises the need for positive aesthetic appreciation and a fulfilling relationship between people and the place.
- From ‘Eight criteria for a high-quality Baukultur, Davos Baukultur Quality System’:
https://baukultur--production--storage.s3.amazonaws.com/baukultur/2022-06-17-174034--dbqs-en.pdf
*The expression baukultur embodies the cultural value of a high-quality, socially integrated and sustainable built environment. Baukultur (pronounced baw-cool-tor) is both the ethos of creating an environment we want to live in, and the processes involved in its creation.
