Pyrrha!Nora: *snuggles between Ren and Jaune* Best team ever…! 🥰

I had to win readers right off the bat. I had to. That's the case with any story, but it is especially so when you're writing about something that's not exotic or well-known. Quite understandably, a reader approaches such stories skeptically, asking why they should read about this unremarkable subject. I picture a battle unfolding in those first sentences between me and the reader: Me, waving my hands and insisting the piece is worth reading, and the reader, grumpily resisting. That battle is pitched, but it's my secret pleasure. I revel in a contrarian urge, a stubborn desire to seduce people into reading something they don't think they care about. I'm not trying to trick anyone. I love these subjects, so I write as if I'm shouting, "You're not going to believe how interesting this is!" I keep shouting until the last sentence is on the page. When I write, I can't relax until I have a lede that thrills me. I can't write the second sentence until I've written the first. I can't start until I've started, almost as if I'm telling the story out loud, and it would be impossible to do that out of order. Every story feels like a daisy chain to me, the first sentence leading to the second and then the third and so on. Everything depends on the lede. It needs to be a great striptease act, making the most of bated anticipation: You've got to choose carefully which item of clothing to take off first. It has to be enough to intrigue but not give everything away; it has to be arresting enough that it captures readers' attention and makes them eager to know what comes next.

Often I write a lede that's not exactly on the topic, so that it serves as a sort of preamble to the story, an overture before the main event. Other times, if a word or phrase has become important to the piece, I'll riff on it for the lede. A lede doesn't need to preview the story or summarize what the rest of the piece will be about. What's important is that it captivates readers and holds them fast to the page so they keep reading. I have a knack for that, an instinct. I can feel in my gut when a lede works, even if it's oblique.

amRietpark | 2050 - ein ehemaliges Fabrikgelände, welches ab 2007 neu bebaut wurde. Zukunftsweisend mit Mischnutzung - Gewerbe, Retail, Büros, Gastronomie, Ateliers, Wohnen,.... Auch heute ist dieser Prozess des Wandels noch nicht abgeschlossen und weitere Projekte entstehen. Allerdings hat sich die Form der Entwicklung gewandelt. Motor dafür war das Jahr 2020/21 - der Zuzug von neuen Mietern und Unternehmen brachte eine Dynamik in das Quartier. Eine App, die erst einmal nur die Nachbarn untereinander vernetzen sollte, wurde zunehmend zum Gestaltungstool für das Areal - eine Art SimsRealLife, wo jede/r zum Entwerfer werden kann.

“Wenn aus Konsumenten Entwickler und Produzenten werden, entstehen Möglichkeiten der individuellen Gestaltung und Fertigung unabhängig von hochspezialisierter Expertise. In diesem Sinne ist die “Maker-Kultur” ein technisch induzierter Möglichkeitsraum.” (Spekulation Transformationen; M. Böttger u.a.)

Über persönliche Erfahrungen, weltweit verfügbares Wissen und Algorithmen wurden von Anwohnern, Werkstätten und Unternehmen vor Ort erste kleine Projekte, wie z.B. ein Spielplatz selbst umgesetzt. Durch den intensiven Austausch untereinander kam es noch zu einer Welle weiterer Projekte, eher informeller Art. Dies schuf ein neues Bewusstsein, als auch eine neue Form der Aneignungskultur innerhalb der Umgebung.

“Die Konsequenz daraus wäre eine natürliche Entwicklung von Kritikfähigkeit und Achtsamkeit sich selbst, seinen Mitmenschen und der Umwelt gegenüber.” (Susanne Stauch, Vortrag Zukunftswerkstatt 3, Berlin)
