Didn't make time to polish something this weekend. Enjoyed seeing friends in LA instead. (Julie Mehretu show at LACMA is wonderful!)
Life update: I've decided to add another semester to my Master's program, which allows me to write a Master's thesis and generally figure out possible PhD funding routes. It is, unfortunately, a bit of a stalling move, but one that I hope will set up next opportunities. I'll be in the Bay Area for another 6 months.
Instead of any writing, here are some short reads that I would have liked to tie together into some thoughts on the responsibility and management of infrastructure maintenance.
While you're reading, why not listen to Four Tet's set at the Lot Radio? I'm a guiltless Four Tet nerd, and this set is great! Some breakbeat in there.
Links below. Not all views my own necessarily.
Infrastructure Obsolescence and Design Service Life
Publicly Owned Utilities Could Help Fight the Climate Crisis
Municipal Utilities Are Better Because They're Easier to Beat
Here's Why We've Failed to Figure Out Why Infrastructure Costs So Much
Toward a Social Infrastructure
Decision Scaling
Kicking the can,
Lukas
