Six of One Report
The Six of One Report is a comprenhensive, tailor-made personalized report on Habitat Change prepared under the request of individuals, including Global Recipients. Since the end of the scandalous "pandemic", Pouchulu has eventually applied Six of One to his Cyclotel network, part of the Broadcity urban project.
The Six of One Report describes the loss of Earth's Habitat (or Habitat Loss) pointing the risks and priorities to be considered before using any resources. It describes how cities should adapt to anticipate economical and social challenges, how to choose strategies in order to re-direct both architecture and urban programmes, boosting its technical robustness, including mobility and production -what is called resources managment, in order to help Earth to balance itself.
Global Warming is a theory and cannot be scientifically proved. Habitat Change is a fact: we are altering geography and polluting the Earth. We can intervene Nature without distressing it, creating evocative and utilitarian environments. More than what to do to save Habitat, I point what not to do. We must reduce pollution by promoting bikes and public transport, avoiding synthetics in construction, furniture and clothing. Nature will balance itself, with or without us.
Not only by promoting furniture made of wood and organic clothing, off-grid power, but by framing the different stages of the design and construction project within a "circular economy" strategy, the "3R": Re-using materials, Re-cycling products and Re-instating classical principles: escale, proportion, materiality. These will help unveiling a rarely used concept: HARMONY.
Design "by app" does not work well. It is indeed faster (instant calculus) but imprecise, and therefore, ends up in more expensive designs, particularly for engineers. It is a branch of AI, which, incidentally. is just highly speed software, made by us... it is NOT intelligence. Please do not fall hypnotysed by the 21th C. version of 19th C. Automats: Human mind, spirit and hands do better.
