@khinsenKonrad Hinsen @apostolis Also, if you think about architecture at a larger scale... Most cities are equally the result of organic bottom-up growth vs the few cities which have been planned specifically, and even fewer of them having been able to retain that original vision/layout over time, and/or the layout turned out to be causing all sorts of intended or unintended problems, e.g. amplifying inequality/segregation, transport and new planning/zoning issues due to over-reliance on some predefined artificial design aesthetic/philosophy/constraints, distribution of green spaces, etc.

(Konrad, that's actually also a good example for your recent point re: hierarchies don't scale, i.e. a top-down architecture approach which works on the level of a single building/complex, might not do so well at larger scale, or even on smaller scale...)

@toxiKarsten Schmidt @khinsenKonrad Hinsen @apostolis

This is a strong theme of Social coding commons and Social experience design at coding.social

At the scale of grassroots commons we deal with emergent forces and evolution of robust mechanics over time. We can facilitate emergence of chaordic organization, yet cannot directly build them.

SX brings nice new perspective to software solution development, namely that besides top-down active development spurts, software systems are grown organically, bottom-up.
