The Heliport shall remain unnamed (1:24:59) Squatter states, staging, and skepticism Utah Kowloon Walled City What's step 1? We started with some wilder ideas Suspension bridge town Phase 1: Houseboats, tourism, marina, small settlements Head end infrastructure – 35kV power line >1,000 people – water treatment plant Initial stages – wells and septic Many people willing to contribute 600,000 applicants for citizenship A small percentage of 600k will be willing to rough it “This whole thing is an exercise in skepticism” Ecotourism hub Blockchain mining (1:32:18) Would the infrastructure be privately owned and blockchain based? We hope so Free Private Cities model – corporation takes ownership of most common services Sandy Springs, GA – city hall just administers contracts and tenders for private providers (1:35:03) Corporate city with explicit contract and recourse Half of Florida is private golf communities Manchester, NH – Amoskeag Mill Company Company bought up all surrounding land parcels Water powered mechanical mills Layout – river, mills, apartments, commercial strip, houses, mansions (1:39:33) Reston, VA – “It doesn't have a city government” Suburb of DC, owned by a corporation Walkable BTW Liberland has no car traffic Every urbanist's wet dream Disneyworld – another great example (1:41:02) What's the point of this competition? Publicity, investment based on design ideas There needs to be some degree of planning (1:42:18) How did they determine the winners?

Awarded in Merits – Liberland's cryptocurrency A winner will help design Napredak (1:45:11) How do you move to Liberland? Nobody lives there now, Croatian border control trying to keep it that way Croatia: the boundary dispute does not involve terra nullius (1:46:34) A lot of issues, all difficult to solve “You have to solve a land dispute in the Balkans” There is existing shipping You need billions of dollars of institutional money Alternative offer: Liber-land swap Liberland protects wetland preserve, builds somewhere else “Best of luck – I want to be wrong!” Links/Resources Our entry to the Liberland Design Competition (download PDF) Click image to download PDF of posters Dave Smith: “Oh look guys, that's my favorite architecture firm!

Daniela Ghertovici, Founder and Director of ArchAgenda LLC, joins us to discuss the Liberland Design Competition 2020, which she is curating. https://designliberland2020.splashthat.com/ Daniela is also curating the Free Private Cities Architecture Symposium on July 18, 2020. It's a free online event with no less than three former Anarchitecture guests: Patrik Schumacher, Titus Gebel, and Scott Beyer. Register now at https://freeprivatecitiesarchitecture.splashthat.com/ We can't mention Patrik Schumacher without talking about parametricism, which ArchAgenda LLC was established to promote.

Daniela's introduction to anarcho-capitalism, libertarianism, and Liberland by Patrik Schumacher (Principal of Zaha Hadid Architects) Liberland Design Competition 2020 What is Liberland? Micronation, established in 2015 by its current president, Vit Jedlicka. Based on the principles of liberty and anarcho- capitalism, powered by a decentralized peer-to-peer computational network (blockchain) Liberland is situated on a territory between Serbia and Croatia, previously a Terra Nillius (no man’s land) which has not been claimed by either country prior to the establishment of Liberland. Liberland encompasses only 7 square kilometers of land along the Danube River, which periodically floods. Geography and history of how Liberland was made possible Goals of the competition Envision how maximum design freedom can result in a complex legible order Ecological sensitivity is of upmost importance A lucid development process for a multi-stage evolution towards a fully functional, architecturally sophisticated, and intelligently adaptive city. Design Parameters Can Liberland’s radical new possibilities for liberty, an unleashed free market economy, and a transparent distributed peer-to-peer computational network (blockchain) stimulate a radical transformation of the built environment? How can maximum design freedom result in a complex legible order? The vitality of a fertile network society is dependent on the presence of three stabilizing factors: the radical autonomy of its constituent agents (liberty), a commitment to unregulated affiliation (free markets), and a transparent distributed peer-to-peer network (blockchain). Patrik Schumacher's Prospective Urban Planning Regimes Sponsored Order: Anticipated Curated Rule-based Self-governed Order Spontaneous Order (Wild Zones) Liberland as a building site Density - Maximum 120,000 residents / 7 square kilometers Earthquake risk A global network of distributed intelligences, and e-residency program Virtual marketplace for architecture Napredak development Napredak is an approximately 5-hectare zone within Apatin, situated approximately 10km south of Liberland along the Danube River where Liberland docks its boats Bitcoin Freedom boat Floating Man festival Design for near-future development Napredak's strategic location Judges ARCHITECT, THEORIST AND EDUCATOR Patrik Schumacher ARCHITECT AND THEORIST Vedran Mimica ARCHITECT Raya Ani, FAIA ARCHITECT Bruno Juricic BLOCKCHAIN EXPERT Jillian Godsil LIBERTARIAN POLICY RESEARCHER Vera Kichanova PHILOSOPHER Garet Crossman ARCHITECT Jan Petrs ARCHITECT Shady Albert Michael Prizes Negotiate a contract with Liberland to further develop a portion of their competition design scheme Liberland "Merits" cryptocurrency towards citizenship Schedule May 16, 2020 - Competition Launch August 16, 2020 - Registration & Questions Deadline October 16, 2020 - Design Submission Deadline November 2020 - Winners Announced Registration Fees Professionals $60, Students with current ID $30.

John Ellis is a student in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He is also, arguably more auspiciously, a long-time Anarchitecture Podcast listener. Tim has been working with John over the past few months as an advisor for his thesis project. John was recently given an assignment to record a podcast for one of his classes, and interviewed Tim in a wide-ranging discussion which John's class will be forced to listen to.

This is also a good "101" level introduction to the Anarchitecture podcast. Tim gives a summary of some topics we have covered to date for any new listeners. Discussion John showed our website to his class. Scorn ensued. Tim's path to architecture Creative multidimensional problem solving Specialty in healthcare Travelling and settling in Maine Adra Architecture Tim's path to libertarianism Gardner Goldsmith radio show Never satisfied with status quo thinking The other Anarchitecture - Gordon Matta Clark Large scale art installations Historical injustices in the built environment Disagreement on economics with left-anarchists Give people a convincing picture of what a better society could look like UM, WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS???!!! Our unorthodox view - preserve access rights, disallow eviction many possible ways to divest and #DESTATALIZE James Howard Kunstler and Chuck Marohn - unsustainability of tax funded roads The Non-Aggression Principle The practical application of these ideas can produce better results Built environment issues are often non-partisan Tim predicted the 2008 crash Zoning has caused growth to flatten and sprawl Cities have expanded infrastructure and service areas with decreasing population density A libertarian approach Eliminate zoning, allow dense, mixed use development everywhere Infrastructure should be paid for by users, not taxpayers Short-term politicians have short-term incentives Big Box store development Hidden subsidies Low value per acre Subsidized auto infrastructure vs. walkable cities Traditional development patterns are still possible It's not nostalgia Finished suburbs lack adaptability John's Thesis Project Parking spots as spatial units Temporary buildings don't pay property taxes Sidewalk Entrepreneurship Bucket o' shrimp Utilize public space for incremental businesses Violent arrest of the empanada lady Soul food entrepreneurs vs. the man Rolling approval schedule - reduce/defer startup costs Every town has a forgotten space Food trucks ADA - federal standards, risk of lawsuits Beercycles - astronomical value per acre The unique role of Architects in libertarianism The Anarchitecture dual mandate Attending planning meetings - the first step towards becoming a hardcore Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist A small town stroad diet Market approaches to parking Small bets - plant street trees, fix sidewalks Divesting infrastructure from government ownership Sewage treatment vs. teachers Private road ownership Infrastructure loses out under government control Mass exodus of teachers Confessions of an Architectural Hitman The federal funding band-aid There are no feedback mechanisms in monopolies Free infrastructure crowds out sustainable infrastructure Is a pragmatic approach reasonable? Small bets in the built environment Small bets in libertarianism Free State Project - building community Destatalize government assets Knee-jerk expectation that government will solve problems The libertarian mindset - government as last resort, not first response Links/Resources John's schools: Ball State's College of Architecture University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Cedric Price Wikipedia MoMA Oh, THAT "Anarchitecture" - Gordon Matta Clark Wikipedia MoMA James Howard Kunstler Strong Towns How much do state and local governments spend on highways and roads?

We are mere days post Porcfest and frankly there’s nothing we would rather analyse this week. What was our Porcfest experience? Did we enjoy spending so much time with so many other liberty type people? Would we do it again? Not really a spoiler but Porcfest was all about the people. In the interest of music discovery we have a brand new track featuring our favorite Vermont rapper and former guest Mr.Tyler Colford. It’s called Game Over by JynxINC x Stir Crazy (Ft. RyCoon and Ciurleo). Check it out! : http://bit.ly/2wzjB0J In case you missed him on our show you can check that out here: http://bit.ly/2X3mhhM Our second record comes from a band called Diametric which happens to include today’s guest! Their latest release is called Late to the Game Check out the band here: http://diametricband.com/ Today we have an interview with Joe Brochu. He happens to be one of the minds behind the fabulous theme for the FAGcast! When he’s not giving us the musical equivalent of the warm fuzzies or jamming in Diametric (check em out on the SLL soundtrack) he co-hosts the Anarchitecture Podcast talking about anarchy and the built environment. https://anarchitecturepodcast.com/ Here are some of the artists we talked about: Gardener Goldsmith http://bit.ly/2FxXFb6 Friends Against Government Podcast http://bit.ly/2wzjB0J Rollo & Slappy (w/Car Camp it) http://bit.ly/2ZJRwjN Yacht Rock (webseries) http://bit.ly/2xgCtBO Rift - Phish http://bit.ly/2YealLF Fuego - Phish http://bit.ly/2X8t0fm Ween https://spoti.fi/2X9vIBt Moonboot Lover http://bit.ly/2JaxGrv Afro Celt Sound System http://bit.ly/2RDCrNR Alexis Evans https://spoti.fi/2ZKBAOi St. Paul & The Broken Bones https://spoti.fi/2VTOPtY Vulfpeck https://spoti.fi/2xemmF4 Benny Goodman https://spoti.fi/2Yab7sV Duke Ellington https://spoti.fi/2LiwqVC Vola https://spoti.fi/2KzWCeU Mastodon https://spoti.fi/2IJf8zt Joe Recommends God Street Wine - 1.99 Romances http://bit.ly/2J5uxJf Viva Nueva - Rustic Overtones http://bit.ly/2X4tDBG Slingshot - Thanks to Gravity http://bit.ly/2IKfrd9 Color in Bloom - Percy Hill http://bit.ly/2ZM8oX6 Office of Strategic Influence - OSI http://bit.ly/2ZKE538 Find all the episodes at http://www.ancapmusic.com Check out the show’s spotify soundtrack here:https://spoti.fi/2MFxkKG To Support Us Join The Freedom Choir here: http://www.supportsll.com Click here to sign up for email list:http://bit.ly/2MDWoSg Want the best course in music & liberty online? http://freedomsong365.com

However, one needs to be aware of how one says it, how one mediates it, and how one explains that what we’re talking about is precisely aiming for the same fundamental hopes and ideals of a free and prosperous, emancipated and pleasant human condition." Discussion Historical styles of architecture Alberti’s architectural theory as the start of the discourse of architecture Fordism, modernism, and progressivism Post-Fordist network society Post-modernism Deconstructivism Parametricism – complexity and order Frank Gehry and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Computer-generated design and input parameters Parametric curves – multiple Y values for a given X value Too many parameters can over-calibrate predictive models, but could be an advantage in architectural design. Fractal design Parametric Urbanism Garbage spill urbanism Urban harmony through Parametricism Perceiving more complex types of order I guess you’re not ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it. Van Halen requires preconditioning. Path-dependence The challenges of promoting parametricism and libertarianism / anarcho-capitalism A messiah event Long-term one on one conversations Shock value Crisis as catalyst Market-based solutions are necessary, and may be sufficient Transitioning to a stateless society requires three things:1. Convince people that the initiation of force is wrong2. Convince people that governments initiate force3. Convince people that there are viable market alternatives to governmental services Links/Resources Episodes in this series on Patrik Schumacher: Anarchitecture Podcast Episode ana009: Patrik Schumacher (1 of 4) | Introduction and Housing Controversy – An introduction to Patrik, and Tim’s blog post about Patrik’s controversial housing presentation Anarchitecture Podcast Episode ana010: Patrik Schumacher (2 of 4) | Media Maelstrom – Tim and Joe’s critique of media responses to Patrik’s housing presentation Anarchitecture Podcast Episode ana011: Patrik Schumacher (3 of 4) | The Interview – Tim’s interview with Patrik at the Zaha Hadid Design Gallery in London Anarchitecture Podcast Episode ana012: Patrik Schumacher (4 of 4) | Post-Interview Commentary – Tim and Joe review and highlight key points from the interview patrikschumacher.com – Patrik’s publications, interviews, and lectures, including his two-volume book on architectural theory, “The Autopoiesis of Architecture” The Stages of Capitalism and the Styles of Architecture – Patrik’s analysis of the proper relationships between architecture, politics, and socio-economic conditions The Historical Pertinence of Parametricism and the Prospect of a Free Market Urban Order, Patrik Schumacher, London 2014 – A comprehensive argument for parametric urbanism.

The hosts of the Anarchitecture podcast join me to discuss the differences between libertarian and conventional statist solutions to everything from roads to city planning and garbage collection.
To coincide with the launch of his ambitious new project – “All The Black People in Citizen Kane” – artist Craig Damrauer joins the pod to reflect on his life journey and the lessons he has learned: from growing up in Denver as the son of scientists to becoming a baker, a kitchen manager, a food scientist, an adman and eventually focusing on his artistic passions. One of the most important, innovative, brave, honest, genuine and humble artists working in America today, he graduated with an MFA from the University of Arizona and has had his work shown at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, MCA Denver, the Masur Museum, Los Angeles Contemporary Editions, Pulse Art Fair, and Paul Smith's GLOBE Gallery. Craig is also a writer and has had a number of books published including the magnificent New Math. He has contributed to The New York Times, The Atlantic, GOOD and Medium. ABOUT “All the Black People in Citizen Kane” In the 20th Century's most iconic movie, there are 23 black actors. Two have speaking roles (‘Yes, sir' and ‘Come right in, Mr. Kane'), there are two bands, three loiterers, one wheelchair pusher, three servants and one driver. The actors were un-credited and occupy 2.9 minutes of screen time. Taking inspiration from James Baldwin, the piece consists of 171,744 frames, each hand-erased with the exception of the black actors' appearances onscreen. Almost 4 years in production, it is an attempt, by erasing, to make clear that which is nearly invisible. The work can be seen at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center from August 6th – October 1st as part of the exhibition, “A Building With A View”: Experiments in Anarchitecture.
