There are currently five main subjects that I get asked to give presentations about.
Thanks to the beyond-PowerPoint capabilities of Apple’s Keynote software, these are dazzling shows, always evolving.
• “City Planet”— the world’s rampant urbanization and squatter cities are major news, and surprisingly good news at that. There was an article about the talk in the Sept.25, 06, Business Week.
• “The Long Now”— taking the long view adds responsibility.
• “The Greening of Nuclear Power”—global climate change makes nukes look good.
• “The Future of the Environmental Movement”— science-attentive Greens will reverse direction on urbanization, population, genetic modification, and nuclear power.
• “How Buildings Learn”— adaptation in buildings is piecemeal and perpetual.
