Very thought provoking, although most of it is beyond the capacity of my brain! I still feel that people haven't changed since biblical times, although we have lots more play-things & lots more ways to repress & destroy!

the future is an exciting prospect when there are more open spaces ahead of you. I visited Christchurch in New Zealand a year after the 2011 earthquake that devastated large areas of the city and took 185 lives. Twelve months on, growing out between the cleared gaps sites between the still standing buildings were incredible artists projects, small scale architecture and community led initiatives. I was struck that this local people led creativity would not have happened without these spaces for the imagination.

Nice! So how to we bring about creative destruction without random acts of god?
