    Then and Now

    Playing around with the BPL's flickr photos, google streetview, and photoshop I came up with these gifs below. If you have the program [and a passing familiarity with it] it is a fairly straightforward procedure to make these, and a cool way to ground some of these photos. Obviously the...

    Duany vs GSD

    Duany: "Kids these days!!" GSD: *ignore* Duany: "Get off my damn lawn!!!" GSD: "If it's too loud, you're too old" http://urbanomnibus.net/2010/11/gsd-throwdown-battle-for-the-intellectual-territory-of-a-sustainable-urbanism/ Interestingly the most levelheaded and sane thoughts come later...

    The architecture of cinema

    I am looking for a film to show a group of undergrads, with the hope of it launching a discussion of space, material, human ritual, etc. I want it to not be a documentary about architecture or anything super didactic, but an inroad to the students sniffing around for architectural influence...

    Boston Architecture, Landscape and Urban Design Map

    I don't think I've posted this here yet, but I've at last done some long overdue updates to a google map i keep of area sites of architectural interest. It is highly filtered by me, so the exclusion of something is probably just due to the fact that I'm not a fan. My training is in landscape...

    Jeremiah Burke High School - Dorchester

    As a frequent reader of this board I thought I had my finger well on the pulse of new construction in Boston but somehow I missed this (and a cursory search makes it seem the board did too). I stumbled across it as I flipped through the latest Architectural Record over breakfast this...

    Sorry I forgot to post this here, I'm literally writing this from the conference, but it's free and there is no one checking registration. So you could totally check out some of it. http://www.neuinfrastructure2009.org/
