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.
urbanist air show, over infrastructure
As part of Seattle’s annual Seafair festivities, a Blue Angel maneuvers over the I-90 floating bridge on Lake Washington, adjacent to the close-in suburb of Mercer Island.
satire and mode-shifts in Seattle’s deep bore tunnel
Many articles summarize the complex issues associated with Seattle’s viaduct-replacement/deep-bore tunnel debate.
Such articles are often accompanied by a cross-section supplied by the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT), illustrated here.
Inspired by the WSDOT cross-section and ongoing discussion of applicable transit modes, the embedded myurbanist commentary below graphically focuses on but one question along the way.
