      Another thing about what I said… I was considering the physical aspect of buildings as not resilient because of their characteristics.

      “A resilient ecosystem can withstand shocks and rebuild itself when necessary.”

      I see now that I may have been wrong, I took the resilience definition to literal. I read some more about it, and I understood that maybe the application of resilience on architecture must use of different tools. If I had interpreted it metaphorically I could have gotten to translate it appropriately into an architectural language. Just a thought.

        @gabuabdo For both your final essay for CS0005 and the starting point for the project on Viikinranta, there are some challenging philosophical reorientations that you may or may not choose to take. I’ve left some comments on the thread for the final CS0005 essays.

      David,
      I chose some lectures randomly… and although I did not understand some of them completely, I put a small comment for you to read.

        @gabuabdo There’s a learning curve that you’ve reflected in your postings on entropy, on symbiosis and the Viable Systems Model, and on a systems approach to sustainability and sustainable development for which you’ve identified objective and subjective perspectives. I’ve left some comments for you on the thread for Day Three.

        @gabuabdo Your focus on education as a concrete system for thinking reveals that you appreciate both current state, and the containing context of systems. I’ve left some comments for you on the thread for Day Two.

        @gabuabdo You’ve grounded your perspective on education as a service system from a South American perspective, which is refreshing. I’ve left some comments and a stylistic suggestion on the thread for Day One.

      Hey David! I was not aware of your response!

        @gabuabdo Thanks for sharing your draft on ”are architects guility?”. I’ve made some suggestions on a reorientation on the thread for the final research report, if you have time to make some adjustments.
