"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Isabel Otter – How to Build a City

Nella creazione di Clex – Cluster of Experts, il nuovo format di crescita professionale di Forma Mentis, stiamo organizzando la biblioteca ideale di un progettista nell’era digitale. Ogni lunedì un libro per iniziare la settimana.

Continuo nel mio alternare qualcosa di leggero a qualcosa di impegnativo e questa settimana consiglio un libro per bambini, per aiutarci a fare un passo indietro e riconsiderare le fondamenta importanti nella progettazione e nella gestione di una città.

 

Isabel Otter,
How to Build a City (illustrato da Harry Woodgate)
Little Otter Press

HowToBuildACity

Il libro è una guida illustrata alla costruzione di una città, in otto passi:

  1. Scegliere il luogo;
  2. Le fonti di energia;
  3. I sottoservizi;
  4. Le abitazioni;
  5. I servizi;
  6. I mezzi di trasporto;
  7. La cultura;
  8. Going green.

Fun Fact:
The world’s biggest roof garden is in South Korea.
It is 3.6 km (2.3 mi) long, connected by 15 rooftops and hosts over a million plant species.

Il libro è in gran parte supportato dalle deliziose illustrazioni di Harry Woodgate, artista inglese dallo stile unico, a metà tra l’illustrazione e il collage.
