  “Sustainable Urbanism: The Grand Unification”              “Our times offer an historic opportunity to rethink where and how we live, work, play, and shop. The path to a sustainable lifestyle builds on the principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green buildings. If successful, it will not only reduce environmental harm, but also offer stunning enhancements to the current quality of life. The setting for this is sustainable urbanism, the creation and support of communities that are so well designed for a high quality of life that people will   eagerly opt to meet their daily needs on foot and transit. Compared to the    American lifestyle as we know it, the quality of a life lived in sustainable urbanism is healthier, happier, more independent and not least longer.

The most recent issue of  Plat , an independent architectural journal published by students at Rice School of Architecture, features an essay I wrote with two of my fellow  M.E.D.  classmates. “Space, Crime, and Architecture” elaborates on some of the issues we discussed in our 2011 Yale School of Architecture research colloquium of the same name. It’s also a deeper, more academic exploration of my own personal interests in  the relationship between architecture and crime  – particularly the notion of crime as a critical tool or transgressive criticism.  Plat 2.0: If You See Something Say Something  investigates the gap “between architectural representation and the buildings it produces.” Here’s a brief excerpt from “Space, Crime, and Architecture,” slightly edited and sans footnotes: - – - Space, Crime & Architecture  is an ongoing investigation of the failure of architecture when confronted with a criminal act. This failure is n...
