A society of total automation in which the need to work is replaced with a nomadic life of creative play

I got a message today from Archie (@suparchie [https://twitter.com/suparchie]): Constant Nieuwenhuys [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Nieuwenhuys] (1920) was a Dutch artist who co-founded Situationism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situationist_International] in 1957. This was a short lived art movement that didn’t really take off much, back then. > Situationism is the theory that human behavior is determined by surrounding circumstances rather than by personal qualities.

Vancouver’s only suspended building. Opened in 1969 as the Westcoast Transmission Building, now converted to residential called Qube. One of only a handful of such structures in the world, it is deemed to be Vancouver’s only earthquake-proof building. I love this building and I wonder if it could be built today.
