Yet never before have companies had such powerful technologies for interacting directly with customers, collecting and mining information about them, and tailoring their offerings accordingly. To be sure, most companies use customer relationship management and other technologies to get a handle on customers, but no amount of technology can really improve the situation as long as companies are set up to market products rather than cultivate customers.

The latter kind of architecture, as described by Kropotkin , was what prevailed in the networked free towns and villages of late medieval Europe. At the same time, network technologies are making such organization more user-friendly with each passing year.
I believe that the growing fiscal crisis of the state, and the growing tendency toward high unemployment and underemployment becoming a norm, will have two long-term results: first, the production of a growing share of value in the informal economy in place of its purchase with wages; and second, the decoupling of the social safety net from both the welfare state and wage employment.

Liquid architecture of thinking networks and thinking in the network
Matteo The book investigates the interaction between the canonical and rigid forms of a culture of information resources and networks multivocity of thought, reconstructing the paradigm of a model liquid architectures .
It Marcos Novak, “Liquid Architectures in Cyberspace” from “Cyberspace: First Steps” edited by Michael Benedikt
“”If we described liquid architecture as a symphony in space, I came to an interesting study, which i cannot grasp fully as it is in italian, but it brings out the same aspects, what i have focused in the ecological knowledge ecosystem framework.

One of the most interesting fields where we witness the adoption of Open models is the Design one, where we can find cases of open web design ( OpenDesigns , Open Source Web Design , Open Web Design ), open product design ( Openmoko , VIA OpenBook , Bug Labs , Zoybar ), open meta-design processes , and even open architectural design .
This is the case of the MIT researech about Open Source Buildings (or Open Architectural Design ): MIT Open Source Building Alliance Operation (OSBA) .
This Open models are now famous for being adopted in many fields outside software development, and we can see this as a proof of their importance and a clear sign of their success.

Detailed discussion by Eric Hunting :
“The ideal situation for P2P architecture is where you can produce structures of small to large scale using intuitively simple modular systems with components on a human scale that are easy for the solitary individual to manipulate and which encode aspects of safety and structural engineering into their interface standards in the same way that the sub-components in a personal computer encode lower levels of engineering into them so that assembly and design higher up the food chain doesn’t have to think much about them. This is the province

/Message « Blogs Go Mainstream: Advertising Toilets | Main | Stowe Boyd » September 05, 2007 The Architecture of Sociality: Building In Openness by Stowe Boyd A lot of discussion boiling recently about openness in social applications (like the Bill Of Rights movement manifesto and supporting comments , and Brad Fitzpatricks Thoughts On The Social Graph . Users have their identity and access controlled by Facebook, and other companies have to operate within the confines of the Facebook architecture. I offer a thought about deductive openness, by which I mean a path of low resistance for developers of application.

To maximize the power of networked interaction, you need a networked architecture. When people say technology is value neutral, I say people have values and people build software, therefore the software carries the imprint of the designers’ values. There is a lot of understanding of how social tools should work and need to work in enterprise (deeply based on how people interact with others and with interfaces) that must go on top of the technology platform. For a number of years I have cringed every time one of my clients tells me that have or are planning to deploy Microsoft SharePoint as a collaborative platform.

There is an instinctive compulsion to architecture in the human being. A Sandbox for Architectural Recreation:
We don’t normally think of architecture as a form of play. What if we could create an environment specifically for casual ‘architectural recreation’; for building as social play? Eric Hunting on the Drive To Build:
Left to their own devices, as children more often were in the recent past, they build.

Full reprint of an i mportant editorial by Alan Rosenblith :
“I f there is one over-arching trend in the information age, it is towards p2p architecture . Fundamentally, p2p architecture in currency design will mean the obsolescence of third-party record keepers. The answer is that, given how much information technology has evolved recently, the members of a community can be their own arbiters. How to best transcend the current economic mess? Put Jeff Bezos, Pierre Omidyar, Elon Musk, Tim O’Reilly, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Nathan Myhrvold, and Danny Hillis in a

Integrating human interactions with business processes as complex adaptive systems Tom DeGarmo, Principle and Technology Leader of PwC, has announced the latest edition of Technology Forecast, Unlocking hidden transformation value , 2010, Issue 1, the PwC annual enterprise architecture issue that looks at modeling and simulation from an architectural and transformation standpoint. “What we learned from this first exploratory research phase,” Tom notes in the introduction, “was that companies are using models in a wide variety of ways to help with a wide variety of decisions.

Thing is, the reality of transitional housing is that it’s NOT going to be like the original architecture and if residents can’t put up with that difference for the sake of their community’s future, they’ve already declared it a lost cause and might as well just move away. Governments tend to make this worse by bad choices of transitional housing architecture, particularly when they choose things like trailer homes organized into military style camps without adequate infrastructure or the full functional elements of a living community. On our p2p-research list, Eric Hunting responded to a query by Marco Fioretti about housing solutions to the earthquake in Italy.

Article: The Question Concerning Social Technology. Very interesting 3 part meditation on the dangers of social technology, by an active participant in social media, with also many great comments on each article by thoughtful readers.
social technologies). will Knowledge is almost always being produced in service of power - not as a liberating force from it and there is always a gap between what a society proclaims about it’s goals and aims - and the functional outcomes of its institutional policies and procedures.
