https://artreview.com/james-bridle-schelling-architecture-award-the-denial-of-genocide-is-on-the-march-everywhere/

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.
