  1. Something is really important in my point of view in this schemes: development! We don't have to develop a lot but to find the structure that will permit and improve development for the next generations (flexibility). To imagine such 'to be continued' system, that by nature will be adaptive! And we adapt that to large scale, imagine to good where are the conditions that will permit the future swarms to install themselves and built a hive!

    Gilles Clément is a french landscape designer. He 'invented' the 'garden in movement' or the 'planetary garden'. In this work, he's searching for structure, but the gardens are not 'done' but 'to do'. Indeed, gardeners and visitors will make the garden: they will walk at the same place, and so tracing new paths, plants will grow where it won't be a lot of people, gardeners will select them depending on his goals,... I think it could be the beginning of an answer to flexibility's research and evolutive system!

    1. This is the point we had also in the kickoff week in Stanford and what for me is the core of every design and planning! When you remember the google guy, we cannot answer special questions, because we are to slow! questions come and go much faster then architecture. The clue will be to create a space, that supports finding solutions! That's the point in 21th research park(HIVE), a place, where people (BEES) from different areas (FLOWERS) bring their know-how(POLLEN), like we do in elop, and together make diverse solutions (HONEY)!
      These can look diferent every day and week like honey tastes different, but while they are doing this, they will fertillize the the whole enviroment, so startups began and people find jobs, the economy growths and people start sharing!! (FRUITS)

  2. To roots:
    For me, the biggest roots are infrastructure!
    There is Train and Car transport and Energy and Water used together!

  3. To windmill:
    I like the HEALTH part on the right! "Body, Mind, Spirit"...
    Which parts are healthy for most of the people, which need to assist?!

  4. Hahaha Max I like so much your comments!! I am perfectly agreeing with you. And development could be at the scale of the hive (nest extension) and at the scale of territory (swarming). What about the relationship of bees that permit honey creation and ressources management?
