Re: [Yasmin_discussions] hybrid city as interface - is it related to situationist notions?

Dear Veroniki,

My answer is Yes, it will bring changes in life 'itself' if we will
play a reliable competition in the Hybrid city or Knowledge Cluster of
the future. So how we can picture it ?
As you know one picture talk more than a thousand words.

Knowledge Cluster / City that is a geographic region, product /
service / industry segment and community of practice in which
knowledge flows from the point of origin (?) to the point of need /
opportunity / Psychographics (+1).

Dear Roger, Dear Dimitris, Dear dear all, buonasera and nice to meet
all.

I really enjoy reading all the post here that touching many key-point
of the analysis and research that i am doing from a few years.

Different roles in a knowledge driven city interact to enable growth
and development:

• Inventors or Entrepreneurs or a Visual perception and the ability
to interpret information and surroundings from visible light reaching
the eye.
• Super mentors: Professor, Opinion Leader, Coach, Politician
• White collars & Work Force as Scientist, engineers and technician
• Individual Achievers as athlete, artist and author

My blog introduces a new approach to creativity in design Social
Network based on puzzle solving activity in a world where ambiguity
and change is essential with the innovations of 21st century. Design
as puzzle solving activity makes it possible to generate new ideas, to
think something different, to be able to integrate knowledge and
imagination which gives rise to generation of form – creative
thinking. Accordingly puzzle solving activity can be considered as
choreography emerged in dialectics of multiplicity which leads us
mythical stage between the real and virtual, between the possibilities
and limitations creating shifting balances. The theme of the each
avatar designed as a narrative reveals a puzzle solving activity which
involves thinking something different, imagining unrelated structures
of consciousness, questioning assumptions, and discovering connections
among various phenomena.

You can see my blog at http://apollo29.wordpress.com, as my research
include many unpublished information, i will enjoy for any creative
comment you can add on it.

PS What we all forget is that The essence of rhythm is recurrence. http://apollo29.wordpress.com/about/rhythm/

With my best regards to all
