Rodney Mullen

Rodney Mullen Instagram – Part 2:
JSB is the former Chief Scientist of Xerox & Head of Xerox PARC, which developed the stuff that made computers accessible to us all—even the graphic user interface (GUI). He and Ann Pendleton-Julian wrote this 2-volume set, Design Unbound. Through a wide range of real-life examples, they integrate philosophy and science to navigate today’s world, because of its hyper connectedness; i.e., they figure we’re better served by looking at it through the lenses of ecology and architecture for fluidly interacting systems, in lieu of old static models. Ann was an MIT professor of architecture having escaped from starting out as an astrophysicist, while JSB began in the fields of complex systems, AI and cognitive science; together, they harmonize with such synergy & insight in these 5 books. JSB and Ann don’t “teach” us; rather, they awesomely lay concepts out for us to learn, even suggesting paths, since the chapters interact differently depending on how you read them.
