Walden 3-D, Inc.Designing Responsive Environments

The Network:

Walden 3-D is encouraging the growth of a multi-dimensional network of minds (diversified by profession, geography, ethnicity, experience, age, interest, etc.), andundertaking to focus the team on hermeneutics, or improving the world throughtechnology. This effort involves integration of information, which occurs through cooperation of individuals with a track record of encouraging and working of projectsthat make a difference. The first significant test was a remote slide-projector and phoneteleconference on 28 December 1990 (see the next page for participants), using the LYNK all purpose communication device. CompuServe, UUNET, video conferencingand other communication systems are being tested as viable medium for the network.

The LYNK synchronizes any number of identical audio-visual devices in remote locationsusing standard phone lines. This allows all participants see the same presentation simultaneously. It also allows a presentation to be given to a group in Singapore (oranyplace else you can call in the world) from the presenter's house in Houston (or fromwhere ever you can call). Duplicate copies of slides, video, optical or computer imagesare sent to each site in advance by overnight mail. Teleconference calls over standard telephone lines allow remote presentations and distance learning at minimum cost. The advantages of this system are great in that a single ordinary telephone line can be used to transmit both speech and visual command signals at enormous cost savings over video transmission.

Walden 3-D 's Vision:

Creating a multi-dimensional network of minds for planning 3-D Intelligent Cities

or, in other words,

Integrating information to simulate, demonstrate, and document living within the available cosmic-energy savings account.

Walden 3-D 's Mission

To lead a revolution in urban planning through information technologies. The planned end result is the development of cost-effective and ecologically sound three-dimensional cities.

These new communities will provide the highest and best land use, juxtaposing a large building mass with nature to benefit both, while maximizing utilization of finite resources.

The projects will accommodate a greatly increased population compared to the population on an equivalent footprint in one of today's conventional housing developments.

The new complexes will use state-of-the art concepts in energy conservation, waste treatment and recycling. Living units will "plug" into an intelligent network providing residents with complete environmental control and access to information worldwide, encouraging information-based decision-making and scrupulous democracy.

Quote from The Laws of Form,

by G. Spencer Brown

"The theme of this book is that a universe comes into being when a space is served or taken apart.

The skin of a living organism cuts off an outside from an inside. So does the circumference of a circle in a plane.

By tracing the way we represent such a severance, we can begin to reconstruct, with an accuracy and coverage that appear almost uncanny, the basic forms underlying linguistic, mathematical, physical, and biological science, and can begin to see how the familiar laws of our own experience follow inexorably from the original act of severance.

The act is itself already remembered, even if unconsciously, as our first attempt to distinguish different things in a world where, in the first place, the boundaries can be drawn anywhere we please."

Hypermedia ConceptsHypermedia Concepts

- Hyper = Hyper-Links: a web of computer pointers connecting each piece of data with related data

- Media = Multi-Media: alphas, numerics, images, overlay interpretations, sounds, video, and simulations on the same computer screen

- Associative, non-linear interconnections of multi-media materials

- An ideal storage and retrieval system (collective memory) for - Historical data - Design information - Evolving plans a project of the scale and complexity of a 3-D intelligent city or the rural development of Colorado County

- A peripheral brain and user-friendly dynamic information depository

- Knowledge alive and growing: a knowledge construction set Dynamic compared to books, which are linear hierarchies frozen in time and space.
