Writing
Living Urbanism
LIVING URBANISM is a forum for ideas, proposals, and critiques that stretch beyond the daily discourse of architecture, urban design & planning practice. Controversial ideas and topics are welcomed as they foster discussion and innovation. Critique is desired as it initiates the refinement and revision of ideas. Bold research, inqury and new perspectives are encouraged. The collection of these writings, illustrations and initiatives will help guide us as we work toward a better built environment.
LIVING URBANISM is directed and edited by Matthew Lambert, TSPC Principal, Mike Lydon, and Russell Preston.
