How Buildings Learn Videos "Flow" episode 1 of 6

Know Stewart Brand? He's the Whole Earth Catalog guy. I have a copy and remain in awe of it.

Mr. Brand also wrote a book and produced a TV program, How Buildings Learn. It's about buildings that are adaptable for human needs. It strikes a chord with me: the best homes will meet the needs of many generations of many families. Bigger building should do the same.

Now, he's put the 6 TV programs in the public domain. If you enjoy architecture, buildings, design, people, and human ingenuity as much as I do, you'll want to watch all 6 episodes, which I will post in the next few days.
