Thanks for visiting.
If you’re interested in architecture, landscapes and landscape design, natural environments and urban design, walkable spaces and transportation systems - and how all these relate– you’re in the right place.
It's a quick way of orienting people to their immediate built and natural environment, and how that relates to such things as architecture, landscape design, transportation, as well as the social and cultural contexts that influence their immediate infrastructure. Everyone knows what their own neighborhood looks like, but when you draw or write something down, you notice more.
To explore the basic question of why the world looks like it does. It's a question that cannot be answered by any one field, but obviously architecture is a primary aspect of the built environment, so that is the primary focus. This website is an online notebook about how architecture connects to all other aspects of the built, social and natural environment. It's also to highlight people doing important and creative research and projects, and in that sense this is more of a newsletter than an opinion blog. There's a monthly "Cheers and Recognition" post that recognizes interesting people and initiatives discovered while researching. And of course, there's a lot of tangential commentary and some quirkiness because this is for fun. Hope you enjoy reading. Feel free to send in your comments. J.A. Cox, author
