twohundredfiftythings

{twohundredfiftythings} is a tiny R package that allows the user to access Michael Sorkin's list of things an architect should know. The list was originally published in "What Goes Up: The Rights and Wrongs to a City" (@sorkin_what_2018).

Background

I was inspired to make this package after listening to 99% Invisible's 400th episode: "The Smell of Concrete After Rain". Hearing Roman Mars read through a small selection of these things, I decided to read the entire list. I figured it would be nice to read one of these every once in a while, so I made this package to return a random "thing" from the list.

I was also inspired by my dear friend Katie Jolly's R package, {advicegiveR}. Katie introduced me to 99pi, and I am forever grateful.

Installation

You can install the development version of {twohundredfiftythings} using remotes::install_github()

The only function is what_should_an_architect_know(). To get a random thing, leave the inputs empty.

You can also access a specific thing from the list.

what_should_an_architect_know(40)

Input a vector of integers to get multiple things from the list.

what_should_an_architect_know(thing = c(1, 80))

You can access the full list, as well.
