Repair culture initiative

Pin local craftsmanship,
grow repair networks.

A minimal, computation-forward interface to map makers, track repair capacity, and translate everyday maintenance into civic infrastructure.

Computation lens: treat each pin as a node in a care graph (skills, tools, neighborhoods), then measure access, resilience, and repair throughput over time.

Map visualization

Load ~200–300 real nodes from OpenStreetMap (makers / repair shops / community nodes) in Bangkok and Massachusetts, then connect edges only when a node is selected (nearest or within 2–5 km). Data credits: OSM contributors (ODbL).

AI tuning (definition of “community”): by administrative districts (Bangkok districts / MA counties) — approximated as grid cells, by walkability radius (2–5 km), by repair specialization (electronics vs textile clusters), or by social signals (events/shared tools).
