Wrath Of Gnonさんのイラストまとめ

@ikrbkv Regular is difficult, but here is how the poorest, working classes, laborers, small scale traders and craftspeople lived, in rented apartment houses, sharing outhouses, wells, security etc. Rent was set/controlled so that everyone could afford it.

Nice interview (in Japanese) with my friend @s_nonohara who seems to have started a trend of #biophilic architectural art in Japan. The keywords here are "playful and natural charming youthfulness in architecture": #萌え建築 https://t.co/SsvYTN3NeA

Taking all the known building perimeters of Pompeii, a computer fills in the rest. What a city using only one story buildings where everyone is less than ten minutes walk from the open countryside could look like, at a population density greater than than that of London today.

Interior of a Turkish Coffeehouse, 1836, by Martinus Rørbye (Denmark, 1803-1848). The windows are tall and the multiple smaller frames means that you can fine tune light, ventilation, air velocity exchange, etc. as needed. This is top notch functional window design.

Three myths of cars:

Nonbei-Yokocho, one of my favorite streets in Tokyo. 38 bars and restaurants on an area of 342m² (3,684ft²). A sleep midday photo (mine) and a livelier night time drawing (not mine).

In Japan these are called "goemonburo" and the trick to not scolding your feet on the red hot bottom of the pot is to place a "sokoita", a wooden "base" on the bottom. It is a super fun way to take a bath, but a lot of work for the parents. Does your prepping include a sokoita? https://t.co/MBILyDS5VH

In Japan urban farmland is often registered as disaster recovery areas (防災協力農地): greenhouses are good for emergency evacuation shelters and open farmland is suitable for placement of supplies, machinery and temporary housing. Even central Tokyo has participating farms.

Illustrating the human scale and natural organic materials of the ultimate of Scanian (south Sweden) vernacular architecture: Skånelängan. You don't need to read Swedish to understand these. The perfectly modular housing of Swedish 16th-21st centuries. Ecological, sustainable.

“The traditional architecture and building and settlement techniques of the pre–fossil fuel age represent the operative tools of global ecological reconstruction. It is the condition of nature that will, as in the past, redefine our development possibilities.”
