I’m excited that over the summer I received a GRAHAM FOUNDATION Grants with the project "Racializing Risk." I look forward to examining the archives and interviewing national housing experts. https://t.co/mdciQZKSJr @GrahamFound @ARCHatIllinois

Journal of Urban History published my research article, “Segregating the Suburbs: A History of the Ladera Cooperative 1944-1950.” This pivotal account examines formative land-use practices in Silicon Valley contributing to today's segregated landscape. https://t.co/I7B5IDVFqZ

@manonmollard @ArchReview Congrats to another ten years!

I have often said this about Austin (and CA)--sometimes environmentalists get in the way of environmental progress.

Land densification in the urban core is GOOD and avoids damaging sprawl.

Known as one of the most car-oriented European capitals, Brussels has embarked on a mobility makeover that could be a model for US cities https://t.co/mP60HPoLIq via @citylab

@CSElmendorf @voilakevin And to respond to people’s concerns about parking, it’s important to locate new housing developments next to public transit, such as MacArthur BART Station in Oakland, a hugely successful development.

@JNaturalBuilder @wadoNeil Don't you want some insulation between the floor and the earth?

My research paper was selected for the Society of Architectural Historians Conference in Montreal Canada! I will be discussing the 1940s planning group, Telesis, and CA Modernist architects.

@thekatestewart @EmmaMFrench @AcademicChatter I was an architect; so I took on small projects during that time. One semester, I was a TA, an RA and in charge of a house reading.

Low carbon materials doesn’t limit design to just timber

These bricks are made from construction waste and have 1/3 the embodied carbon of regular bricks

@Cobylefko @rmchase A photo is great, but let’s break it down:
Mixed use neighborhoods; four story buildings flanking a pedestrianized street (are commercial delivery allowed at certain hours?), integral stone pavers, narrow road width. Perhaps others can suggest more design guidelines.

@ryanqnorth Make us guess what’s in it!!!

[T F Tierney @tierneytoo]

@ashleyrattner An important question for an architect!

Joseph Eichler was a California Modernist developer with a non-discriminatory sales policy. And many of you know that I grew up in an Eichler house. Dave Weinstein just published an interview about my experiences for The Eichler Network.
