The concept of "human scale" is most known in urban design and architecture, but it provides a good framework to think about a lot of different aspects of our lives.

This community can be the place in this hyper-connected world to display and cherish the things that are not.

Modernist architecture and post-modern architecture are almost polar opposites. They are not the same thing.

Here's the Piazza d'Italia. An example of post-modern architecture. You'll notice it doesn't lack ornament.

Yet, by the photo I'd certainly take it as an example of "post-modern" design. No place for people, not inviting. It seems like something attempting to impress outsider people passing by, not something made for people to stay and belong.
