Here’s one – how about ‘
street closings, their conceptual origins, (the ‘commons””, Jane Jacobs, Wlm Whyte..), their proliferation, evolution, and subsequent devolution..
Charlottesville’s Maine Street is a good example..San Antionio Riverwalk. Current – Broadway – (Manhattan..) Go there and do interviews..even the High line..What part of the…[Read more]

Wow, that looks very easy to navigate and full of information. Thanks for creating this site.

Hey Robert,
Not sure if you’ve seen this before, but William Whyte’s “Social Life of Small Urban Spaces” might be a great place to start. I used this as a basis to do a study of college campus places and spaces, which turned out to be a really fun project. I ended up writing a 40 page paper kind of by accident as I went through it, because it…[Read more]

Thanks for everyone’s help on this! I think I am good to go…

Thanks!

It sort of feels awkward to say I work in a particular ‘style’.

I’d say there’s a Colorado Front Range vernacular, as well as styles more specific to each region of the state, associated culture, and context.

I’ve worked a lot in the ‘naturalistic’ style with single family homes and larger public sites alike. I can see the slight variations in…[Read more]

true, Andrew, functionality does not define style, completely, – it is still most important for me, in considering whether a design is good or not.

I really love each one, as long as the are with the right architecture, when all or one is designed to perfection , how can you not love each ?

Thanks, Keith!

Paul,

Thanks for getting into some of the nitty gritty involving lawsuits. I will remember your words of wisdom regarding time/cost of being one of the ‘named’ in a lawsuit. Very good to know that you have had a positive experience with Leatzow when it counted the most.

I’ll pass along that I’ve been with Leatzow for maybe 15 years now and I’ve found them responsive by US mail, phone and email, and having been through two lawsuits with them, I have to say they’ve been great. I’ve been in business for over 30 years in California, so two suits is probably not bad, though at the time any lawsuit is horrible.…[Read more]

Very nice, well organized and clean. I suggest adding a tab/line for up-to-day events such as conferences, competitions, etc.

looks like a well deserved upgrade!

After a few weeks of pacing my hallway bemoaning my unavoidable graduation, wondering what the potential thermal value of my trio of diplomas is and watching way way to much Bloomberg News I can agree with both you pessimists out there and the more optimistic folks as well. this great deprivation ends when the bucks start stopping in my wallet…[Read more]

Sure. Tell me a little more about your unique selling proposition that differentiates you from your competitors? Who is your target client? Why do your clients purchase your services? You get the idea. You cannot start an effective gorilla marketing campaign until the service that you offer and your ‘ideal’ client is understood completely.
