“At a time when websites are spilling off desktops onto sidewalks and computing in public spaces is dissolving into behavior, technology itself has shown boundary blindness.

Alex Fuller’s ideal live/work space:
My ideal live/work situation is based on community, shared spaces and a distinct separation between home and work.

Dmitry Fadeyev, The Value of Good Design
