found a lovely book of Minneapolis poetry from 1940 a few weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about it, so here are some of my favorites that remind me how people have loved this city and its beauty for far longer than I’ve been alive (1/6)

Kudos to the editors who did so much work on this print issue. @entermn is a model hybrid of print and online coverage of architecture, equity, and inclusive design.
The 2023 ENTER print annual, out in early May, features in-depth articles on the challenges and opportunities of shaping a better built environment for Minnesota, plus directories of Minnesota architecture firms and other building-project consultants. ow.ly/4kbU50OhAy3

Thank you @entermn for the wonderful interview of one of @msrltd’s cofounders. I’ve heard Tom talk about his start on architect often, yet each time I learn another nugget. So fun to read!

I wrote this ⬇️. Great stuff happening along the shore up north.
The plan that @LHB_AEfirm is developing for the Lakewalk and for Brighton Beach for @cityofduluth, at the north end of the trail, has many layers and stages, but it is essentially twofold: Retreat from the lakeshore and “re-wild” the landscape. ow.ly/p1fe50KtLUl

Gorgeous photos. Clarence H. Johnston also designed the administration building at the Reformatory in St. Cloud in Sherburne County. npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/d… @HHPreservItNPS @mnhs @mnshpo
"Northrop Memorial Auditorium was designed by Clarence H. Johnston and completed in 1929. I first photographed its principal facade in the mid- to late 1970s using a 4x5 large-format camera and a 90mm wide-angle lens" — @petesieger ow.ly/eA9h50LUrIQ

My latest for @entermn @aiamn, on Minnesota's impressive GreenStep Cities program - now in its 12th yr - and the measurable impacts it's had for nearly 150 communities & representing over half the state's population. This stuff ain't greenwashing! entermn.com/articles/minneso…
