Off season in the Dolomites. Fewer people, more mountains.

Wrote about it, and what happens when nature becomes a backdrop for likes: https://www.luisnatera.photo/033-the-dolomites-off-season-and-the-cost-of-overtourism/

Life in islands is a bit like an alternative reality. More relaxed, more open to randomness.

I was once in a discussion with policy makers about giving better loan terms based on walkability. Good idea. But they were measuring it as a straight-line radius. Draw a circle, count what's inside.

When I looked at the actual pedestrian network, the story is quite different! Not everything is accessible. Private roads, a highway with no crossing, cul-de-sacs forcing you around the block.

I ran this analysis for four cities using #OSMnx + #OpenStreetMap = 💜

What city would you want to see next?

There’s some people who take their dog for a walk. Others take their horse for a bike ride.

I wrote a new issue of the newsletter about scrolling, and social settings.

Work from home. Scratch that, work from the park! Way better.
People and cities would be happier with a return to parks mandate, not a return to office.

I don’t have any scientific data, but I tend to think that people walking with the hands behind are having profound thoughts. Who knows.

Some benches are for sitting. Some benches are for staring the infinite.

In a world that forces us to be on a rush, taking the time and being calm is a superpower.

One year older today. Launching something new.

Tyn studio. A calm studio for bold ideas.
https://tynstudio.com

I'm launching a place to build with craftsmanship and quality. Focusing on sustainable growth, for myself, the partners and clients.

I'm opening shop as a freelancer at the intersection of creativity, cities and technology. I'm looking to work on:
-#Datadriven solutions for#urbanplanning
-#Webapplications to empower companies
-#AI-powered tools to solve problems.

Are you working around these or other innovation topics? Let's talk!

For all of you independent developers, freelancers, and the ones running a small business: what do you use for CRM?
I want to keep track of ongoing client discussions, sales pipeline, etc.
any recommendations?
#FreelanceLife

Back in 2011 I co-directed an #architecture studio with a good friend. We experimented with new ways to engage people and activate community life in our city. One example is the render in this post: an urban intervention designed to promote book sharing and reimagine #PublicSpace through a bit of #PlaceMaking.
Those experiments left me a with a lasting lesson: Build, stay curious, and follow creativity wherever it leads. That mix of curiosity and experimentation has shaped my not-so-linear career, and continues to guide me today.

I wrote a bit more about it in the latest issue of the newsletter: https://www.luisnatera.photo/006-why-side-projects-and-small-experiments-matter/

I wrote a new post in my newsletter.

Some thoughts on the simple act of sitting, watching, and what it reveals about cities, strangers, and how we connect.

I also checked out the Amsterdam Light Festival @AmsterdamLight and it was amazing. The light art installations combine technology with urban elements, it was a unique point of view of the city. #AmsterdamLightFestival #UrbanPerspective https://luisnatera.com/posts/2023/1/2023-01-23-review/
