Slice of Knowing

I'm going to be a first year teaching assistant again this year. Part of the application was to create an image, my interpretation of what I'd bring to the role. I suppose I'm the Spoon of Instruction!

Drawing Architecture

I've been neglectful. Over the past few weeks, I've finished my dissertation (on Participation in Urban Agriculture) and then been thinking about my plans for summer, so the blog has taken a back seat. I need to get together a cv and have been thinking about the best way to produce something snappy for some work over the summer that can be updated when I finish for good next year (!). I came across Drawing Architecture this morning and it's a feed of beautiful architectural drawings that spark some great ideas for my final year, next year. These, above, are too beautiful examples.

Map o' Harmony

Housing, mapping, drawing... here is the Map of New Harmony, Indiana drawn by Wallrath Weingartner in 1832. On each block the houses are drawn with their facade facing the street. Even some of the trees are upside down! It appears to be such a naive diagram, yet show all the necessary components of an urban plan.
