Quote of the day

From Andres Duany, via an e-list;

I also spent the week in New York and I agree with you. Unintentional beauty was everywhere. The only ugly things were the intentional designs of certain architects.

I have noticed that dense urbanism is quite forgiving. When there is much to look at, no individual problem matters much. However, dont try this when there is not enough around to dilute the problem.This kind of attitude is workable for T5 and above.

T5 refers to transect zones.

But this gives you the idea. Illustration from The House Book by Keith DuQuette.
