Rigatopia

Exploring the case of a missing developer and his real estate doings an amateurish investigator stumbles upon some strange people in a mysterious fogged-in island tavern. They share wild tales and discussions of unorthodox ideas about architecture occasions and image in buildings measures of building value support systems for a planning discourse enhanced by a new approach to evaluation of planning arguments and potential side benefits of these tools for governance and policy-making. These ramblings develop into a vision of a new society of refugees on an abandoned oil rig in the ocean where some of these ideas are applied. The scheme is part of a proposed strategy of encouraging a global discourse fed by the results and experiences of many diverse societal design experiments in places where natural or man-made disasters have destroyed older infrastructure – as opposed to efforts of designing and imposing one single global economic and governance model based on past unsuccessful blueprints.
