Tim Love has written an extraordinary, sophisticated and MUST READ article entitled “Paper Architecture, Emerging Urbanism” in Design Observer that discusses, with admirable finesse, the challenges facing current architecture practice and education, urbanism, real-estate developers, city government, architectural dreamers, and all of those urban dwellers who don’t, somehow, fall into any of those categories. The article includes, among many other considerations, the impact of global and urban climate change on urban life and thinking. Speaking of thinking, make sure that you put on your thinking-caps, for the article, justifiably, requires a good deal of reflection (and, hopefully, more) on the part of the reader. Nevertheless, read this, you must.
