“The new urban design task is not one of
configuring buildings, streets, and public spaces
to meet the needs and aspirations of the civitas,
but one of writing computer code and deploying
software objects to create virtual places”
CITY OF BITS
"Until writing was invented, men lived in acoustic
space: boundless, directionless, horizonless...
The goose quill put an end to talk. It abolished
mystery; it gave architecture and towns"
THE MEDIUM IS THE MASSAGE
“Merchants outgrew the confining framework of
the towns and in the form of companies linked
themselves directly with the state"
THE PUBLIC SPHERE
Civil inattention: “the slightest of interpersonal
rituals, yet one that constantly regulates the
social intercourse of persons in our society”
Newspapers and magazines "[allow] us to carry
around a screen that can be raised at any time to
give ourselves and others an excuse for not
initiating contact"
BEHAVIOUR IN PUBLIC PLACES
Civil inattention: “the slightest of interpersonal

BEHAVIOUR IN PUBLIC PLACES
STAGED COMMUNICATIONS
SPACES
LOCAL STORYTELLING
“The presence of others who see what we see and hear what we
hear assures us of the reality of the world and ourselves”
Hannah Arendt (1958)
The key element is that the neighbourhood is the referent. They
are stories about ‘us’ in ‘this geographical space’. Such stories are
the building blocks of the ability to ‘imagine’ an area as a
community
