proper scale: The Avenue
http://properscale.blogspot.com/2010/05/avenue.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. Originally uploaded by True Bavarian. An Odonomy of Savannah VI: The Avenue. And so the Odonomy begins.). Avenues can of course be grand, well-loved streets tremendously busy with pedestrian activity. In Manhattan, they are so active, by the way, in part because of the primary north-south orientation of the island and in part because the blocks in the loading dimension are really. Here are several tendencies to notice about avenues:. 3) They Like to Climb: Avenues travel against t...

Sunday, July 7, 2013. Our future with robocars: our future with guaranteed sprawl? Have begun to think a lot about autonomous vehicles. Or “robocars”. Some are even creatively deliberating the possible upsides to this technology for green urbanism and land use. (There are some upsides, supposedly. See. On a steady trajectory to reach Edwardian era levels. First the latter aspect. Possibly the most distracting transport models to talk about in discussing robocars are carshare systems and personal rapi...

My team's Park(ing) Day parklet, a shipping container "homestead unit" microfarm. It has been quite an active past week and half! By the way, if you are scratching your head and wondering how Jarrett's work of late appreciates an "incremental" approach to urbanism, I invite you to carefully read Chapter 15 "On the Boulevard" of his book.

Monday, May 28, 2012. Sketching the Duke Energy Center. The Duke Energy Center, a few weeks ago after a shower (taken from the rooftop of my office building). I love the aloof attitudes of the resting cranes.their enormous beak-like arms slung out there hundreds of feet in the air so casually. They survey Charlotte with an air of unimpressed self-possession, like cowbirds perched on water buffalo. The next sketch, executed not long after, took full appraisal of a new situation. This time, it was the ...

Sunday, September 30, 2012. The "Grain" of a City Grid and What That Means for Mobility. Not long ago, reflections on Savannah's Historic District prompted a study to examine the street roles of Savannah’s Historic District grid. The broad aim of my attempt to classify her street types. The inappropriate functional classification system of branching networks. To grid streets. A devastating lack of awareness thus exists in how you lay out or modify streets to actually create a traffic behavior support...

Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Will Google's self-driving cars turn your city into Charleston? But your vision for the city will determine that. While the patterns of sprawl can not be transformed easily, I think self-driving cars have incredible potential to change what we will build in the future. If self-driving cars become ubiquitous, this Whole Foods on Magazine Street in New Orleans demonstrates how I believe all big box stores will relate to the street in the future.

Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Density in Los Angeles: a Matter of Tolerance? Why LA can build densely. Source: Google Streetview. A really handy synopsis of the city density trends revealed by the 2010 Census.). Blocks that face the east and west sides of each historic district square). But a 200-foot wide block, as in Manhattan and Portland, does allow these cities to get high coverages, because relatively little open space can be provided in the interior of the blocks when you have 100-foot parcel depths.
