    Civic Nature

    I've posted some photos from the abandoned subway tunnel in Rochester, NY, which is a very unique setting with a lot of colorful paintings on the walls. I hope the city will make use of it someday, although maybe it's better as is.

    A Small Conversation about Large Parks

    This talk looks really interesting. There is also a book on the subject, titled "Large Parks."

    Quoted: A panel discussion with James Corner, Julia Czerniak, George Hargreaves, Linda Pollak, and Ken Smith. Large Parks presents essays on an increasingly hard to define landscape type, the urban park, viewed through the lens of size. Such study cuts across conventional binary categories of classification—historic or contemporary, built or unbuilt, competition-sponsored or commissioned—and enables review of landscapes not usually considered collectively.
