storefronts of the future: the best street vending poster….ever
From Seattle’s Green Lake, here is evidence that vibrant urban businesses can use new forms of “storefront” to interact with public space.
See the related posts below for previous commentary on street-vending urbanism.
urbanist online discoveries, part 3 and myurbanist sustainability sightings update
This entry presents two of my favorite, cutting edge blogs, one venerable and accomplished, one new.
First, long-time blogger and thought leader of the built environment-social media interface, Cindy Frewen Wuellner (@urbanverse), continues to innovate on her blog, urbanverse’s posterous, particularly with recent entries on sustainable design under the “True Green” moniker. Be sure and review.
Second, from Venezuela, architect Ana Maria Manzo’s (@anammanzo) “the place of dreams” will charm you with compelling imagery and straightforward introspection about career and on-the-ground outcomes. Great reading for we lawyer/designer-wannabe’s. Please follow the link just provided.
Finally, thanks also to two accomplished online portals for recent references.
Richard Layman, of the comprehensive well-researched placemaking standby Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space provided a valued link to myurbanist yesterday.
Acknowledgements as well to the ever-diligent Seattle Transit Blog, for its recent use of myurbanist material in ongoing coverage of light rail expansion issues in the Seattle area.
