GPS or MAP

Since GPS landed , maps have become virtually obsolete, being the ugly girl in the party, anyone use them?

I am a nostalgic or deluded and I love them, or perhaps is the fact that I like to control and follow the line I want, turn them over to the map, or understand where I go, and distrust of the "little voice". I never liked being told what I have to do, ever, and still the little voice gives me a feeling among disability and laziness, moreover I love deploy a map, follow the path with the finger, understand the latitude, location, or I have two radical options, follow my nose, or just get lost, that's wonderful, not following map either guide, most, not pre-determined to anything worse in case you need to get to a point, who said the shortest path is GPS? I realized my love for maps when at the beginning of GPS era, one of them dropped me off  circling around a roundabout on the outskirts of London, feeling ridiculous, did not know where I was ...

I would not trust someone who follows a GPS? I will keep true to my beloved maps, GPS and shot occasionally, and Ohhh YEEEES,  I get lost eventually...

Placemaking with Purpose: How PADZZLE Transforms Spaces into Destination

  For PADZZLE, placemaking isn’t just a buzzword — it’s our mission. We were honored to be the very first guest on  Coffee Convos with Kelsi Cory , where our founder, Anna Domingo , shared how we approach real estate with a unique blend of purpose, people, and profit. “Placemaking, in our case, we do placemaking with purpose.

Virtual vs Real #Placemaking: Finding the Balance Between Immersion and Authenticity

  Creating spaces that bring people together, whether through art, architecture, or community development, is at the heart of placemaking. But as technology evolves, the way we experience these spaces is also changing. Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the metaverse promise to transform the experience, offering accessibility and unique perspectives. However, can these digital tools truly replace the depth and authenticity of real-world experiences? Drawing on my reflections and past work, this blog explores the debate between virtual and real placemaking—when does technology enhance, and when does it fall short? Revisiting Placemaking at Its Best When I think of extraordinary placemaking, my mind always returns to The Gates by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in Central Park, 2005. Standing amidst 7,503 flowing saffron panels, it was impossible not to feel inspired, engaged, and deeply present. This unique installation wasn’t just art—it was an experience, drawing mill...

#Destinationtalk // Spinning the wheels

Can you remember the London skyline prior to the London Eye (TLE)?   Well, if you do it is a clear indication of your age - meaning you are older than 14. I vividly remember when "The London Eye" was launched for the millennium celebrations. TLE was the most remarkable and memorable venue ever conceived by mankind. As a venue and attraction, TLE was a crazy concept that went beyond expectations, it achieved and continues to achieve great success.  London took a risk placing the wheel in the heart of the city, embracing and pioneering a new way of sightseeing – thanks to the creative imagination and engineering folks who took the risk of designing such an incredible landmark. Pioneers and visionaries of such extravagant and unique ideas are not always properly acknowledged and all too often their revolutionary ideas do not become a reality. Actualization of these unique opportunities requires strong decision makers who fully see the long term benefit instead of t...
