🔔 From manuscripts, books, maps, photographs, recordings, various collections, and other archival items from your family, to the catalogues and records from your family business(es), family foundation, family office, and beyond, there are numerous objects, sources, and resources that you might think of when it comes to what you believe your tangible family legacy items are. ❓The question is, which are the ones that you wish to preserve for future generations and how. It's also critical to establish where you may look for such treasures, amongst other considerations. ❓ However, what happens with everything that is intangible? All the fascinating stories, best practices, etc. 🛎 Via purposeful legacy curations, legacy catalogues, legacy portrayals, legacy collections, and beyond, you can also turn many of you currently intangible assets into tangible ones and ensure that what's important to you stays with you and your family for generations to come. ✅ Purposefully mapping, analysing, synthesising, structuring, curating, and showcasing, and passing on your family legacy helps ensure its longevity. ✅ Our cutting-edge legacy curatorial projects also bring much joy and an enhanced appreciation of your family legacy to you and your family members. ✅ In addition, with such legacy projects you may also strengthen your family bonds, create a deep anchoring, engagement, and alignment within your family whilst offering much inspiration to everyone on different levels. 🔎 We help you map, capture, preserve, shape, structure, maximise, showcase, as well as pass on your legacies in novel, effective, and sustainable ways via bespoke legacy curations, tailored legacy ateliers, and unique strategic legacy advisory.

When a picture has a story or a broader context behind it, it is perceived differently. For instance, it's a photo of just a tree, or is it? This beautifully old oak tree grew in the majestic park of Pavlovsk, in the southern part of Saint-Petersburg. And, likely, the majority of people who were in this volume of space and time more than a couple of times will remember this exact tree if asked. This tree is long gone. It was cut down by the park-keeping service in later years due to reasons obvious from the photograph. Not only does Pavlovsky Park have its own extensive story and is deliberately made to look like a fantasy forest, but there's also a personal story of the day I took this photo. By pure coincidence, there's a couple in the background. We also walked as a couple being on a date with my wife that day. We had a walk at this beautiful park, and I took a photo of this tree on my Cannon 5D classic, which was the right tool to capture the lighting and the vibe of that day. This photo has the most relevance to us with my wife and also makes a somewhat relevant story for those who have seen this tree with their own eyes and remembered it, while it's just a photo of a random tree for everybody else. From an information-theoretic perspective, it is good when part of a story is already shared among the audience and your work ignites the imagination by invoking and enriching some shared knowledge.

Sometimes it's essential to not have built environment.

Public art is POWERFUL!

Forward momentum for 2024 - Closing out 2023 and moving into 2024, many things are happening. Check out my latest newsletter on Field Notes, my blog exploring history and place.

What is a high-quality space? With the help of an AI-supported image analysis, Wüest Partner was able to assess the perceived quality of spaces and use a regression model to identify the key factors for a positive perception of public spaces. Particularly interesting: Historic buildings have a major impact on the perceived quality of public spaces. This shows how important the harmonious integration of new buildings into an existing historical and cultural context is: in other words, maintaining the genius loci.

3,30,300 ❇️ 3 trees visible from every home ❇️ 30% minimum tree canopy cover ❇️ 300 meters maximum distance to large green space or park A simple principle developed by Cecil Konijnendijk to green cities. And I find this simplicity to be very powerful. I admire the courage to let go of complexity - the ultimate defense of any professional - to embrace a simple narrative. Easy to tell.  Easy to understand.  Easy to share. ➡️ Photo: Vliegenbos, my favorite urban forest.
