Synchronicity of blogs, football and design
Posted on January 12, 2009

After my previous post on innovation in football strategy and its relationship to design and spatial awareness, some people sent me a few heads-up that there was an interesting convergence of people exploring similar themes in relation to football and its spatial relationships.
Geoff Manaugh of the exceptional bldgblog posted a twitter “tweet” last week, observing that “Football as a series of contradictory landscape strategies: analytic geometry. Competing ways of using and filling space.” This inspired Michael Surtees to expand on the thought in a post on his similarly impressive blog DesignNotes, weaving a highly suitable link to Bobby Fischer’s method of playing chess, as made by the New York Times, as noted in the image above from his flickr set.
Just a nice moment of synchronicity of ideas weaving their way ’round the net – variations on a theme, if you will – coming from two blogs I respect a lot, and recommend that you do yourself a favour and subscribe to their feeds for more brilliant writing on design and architecture.
