In many ways, the idea of the Fab City is of re-inventing how we do things, of re-thinking why things work a certain way, and if it’s inappropriate, finding a better, more planet-compatible way or citizen-friendly way of doing it. In this great piece on “the simplest tool”, Sara Hendren (artist and design researcher, and professor at Olin College of Engineering) does just that by drawing our attention to the use of time as a tool to design and recalibrate the city.

We’re likely not going to be featuring a lot of products and services here, preferring to concentrate on ideas, communities, collaborations, etc. But this one is pretty brilliant and fills a need we’ve seen for sure.
