Let’s consider the intent of our electric library. jb and I recently authored an about page for this site but our intentions have been a topic of discussion since day 1. In the book “How Buildings Learn” Stewart Brand explores the notion of letting a space cook, i.e. giving it time to grow organically, open to possibilities, rather than starting from a place of design. I feel we have been cooking our environment here, with each new voice bringing a lifetime of experience and a chance for our entire community/network to re-imagine itself. [ . . . ]

The upside has been the reassessment of Value that's been going on. What is valuable? How do you define it? What is truly worth our time and our money and our emotional commitment? More and more we're turning to things that are not tangible. Environmental and conservation movements are starting to mesh and jive with the changes in thinking that this economic crisis has spawned. Saving, reusing, refurbishing, salvaging, recycling, organizing, streamlining . . . doing more with less. That's all great. I'm so glad. It feels virtuous and pure and dignified and clean. And it is. I feel that way. I grew up with the same bedroom furniture that my mother bought second-hand and lovingly hand-painted herself from the time I was two until I left for college, and then she repainted it and it became my sister's furniture.
