Drafting a better concept for a project.

@eapohlman Thanks! I'll look at those! I'm compiling dimensions and images.

Looking for great examples of comfortable courtyards and plazas between low-rise buildings that could serve a commercial entity on both sides as well as pass-thru pedestrians. Width is the critical determinant for function and defining a great space. What are your favorites?

[Tory Jackson Parish @JacksonParish]

@eapohlman Right?! Now that I am away from the bubble, what not to do may be easier to find than what to do.

When you designed alley-loaded product but have no idea how to use it. Dumb waste that could have been a shared green space. Or, if detached garages, could have been useful private green spaces.

@meaganbyrd Definitely me too!

Queen Street in beautiful Charleston. The simple order to this building may be often overlooked, but she's so pretty.

My neighborhood street trees make a huge impact. Not only for cooling but also defining a safe space for getting out and moving around.

@Baldeep_SK What's your view on Ordinals consuming block space?

Sitting in the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel at Florida Southern College. FSC is home to the largest single site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

@Baldeep_SK I would go with good early modernism. most of the spaces he made are still intimate and interesting with a good overall scale to them. A good human scale.

Bruce Stephenson and @VictorDover presented 'Timeless Visions: The Renaissance Ideals of Rollins College and Winter Park' last evening at Rollins. The speakers were great and the work presented is hopeful! @CNUFL

Guessing it didn't work out, as we tend to keep our books. Found in the architecture section of the used bookstore.

Appreciated having @ACBACharleston students and their work samples for a project at BAR-L last night. This included hand carved stone and hand-forged wrought iron elements.
