Logbook notes from my work and hikes
Alarm clock story
Remember the alarm clocks? Those in the old days, mechanical ones with sounds that could wake up everybody in the whole house - so different now...
fishing food chain
Fish caught by fisherman, caught by businessman, caught by robot...
Antivirus Architecture as urban design
Can we design and build our cities better to stop virus from spreading
Stopping the shopping
Sketched up this drawing yesterday… Researching it, I wonder why it is so often the young that have to change the ways of the adults, and the kids that take action to stop their parents from ruining our planet
Selv-isolation and loneliness
Still trying to grasp the change here, from fighting loneliness, to moving as far away from each other as possible... it seems like it happened in a second
Reality out of order
Some days it seems to me like the digital dimensions might still be working, but reality is less so...
Keeping our distance
The latest news tells everybody to keep a distance to stop the virus... Schools are closed, public places empty and we are all keeping our distance
The strange reality of large roads
While walking I could hear it from a long distance - the highway, I knew there were a footbridge, so I could get over
Cityzen science architecture
Co creation is also about place-making and architecture, about creating places where people can walk, meet, discuss and innovate together
The science jam session
Innovating is often better with an element of chaos, chance and music mindsets thrown into the session
Search chain vs follow the leader community
Drawing of a group of people holding hands making a search chain, and the same people making a line, walking after each other. Community illustration by Frits Ahlefeldt
From concerned to engaged
Can new technology give us an option to act on our concerns, instead of just sharing them?
What is Citizen Science
Preparing my talk about Citizen science and how we can understand it, both as creating trails and as images, I sketched up a scientist in a boat with just one oar
Seeing the bigger picture
Drawing up how each of us seldom have all the facts
Dealing with expectations when hiking
Expectations comes in many forms - some of them are our own, in our backpack - other expectations are from those around us
Intelligent farming technology
Farming machines today comes in a new scale and with added artificial intelligence - Maybe even with new kind of needs?
Knowhere vs knowedge
Drawing up two different ways to understand on top of a book
Wanderers
Walking along home instead of to it
Path away from it all or towards a better place
What we focus on seems to me to define us more than we realize, no matter if we walk away from it or towards it.
In a sea of cars
There are more than a billion cars on our planet, and the number of vehicles keep growing even though cars look less and less like the answer to many of the both local and global challenges we face today
The challenge of being the edge
Thoughts on innovation, hiking and being first movers
Hiking between high and low habits
Habits are a bit like places... or maybe we can also see them as trails? Notes on habits, recovery and paths
Learning to live with less
We humans put a great pressure on Earth, if we had to carry all our stuff, our impact on the planet would most likely be much smaller
Appreciating what we have
Umbrella vs boots - seeing what we lack The double envy paradox Text and illustration by Frits Ahlefeldt Often the grass can look greener on the other side, as we focus on what we lack instead of what we have. The good thing is that by talking together we can get the other side of... Continue Reading →
