The Schuylkill River Trail is remarkably successful. It's worth trying to extend it.
The nearby eastbound lane of JFK Blvd is one of the least used roads in Center City (~1.6k drivers daily).
Why not repurpose it into a promenade from 30th St. Station?

Funny thing about Corb’s Maison La Roche: today modern architects are obsessed with everything aligning, but one of the fathers of modern architecture is like, “yeah whatever don’t worry about it.”

Added a new jurisdiction to my single-stair legislative tracker – Pennsylvania! This one got introduced earlier in the year but I forgot to add it. Single-stair movement is spreading like wildfire, so fast that I can't keep up! centerforbuilding.org/single…

Throwback to an amazing trip from 2022. This is one of my favorite shots of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a few blocks away from where we stayed.

Daily reminder to look up in the city: I’ve been by this building in Philly many times over the years (but on my bike), so I completely missed how well proportioned it is. Amazing.

I love using prototypes in the design process. For an interior project, we’re updating a fireplace and the owners wanted to better understand the design before making the investment. Renderings weren’t cutting it, so we had a full-size, CNC-milled foam prototype made. (1\2)

If you’re a homeowner or developer, this Green Upgrade Calculator is a no-brainer! Get economic and carbon analysis in a few clicks. (It’s also free.)
Heat pumps, rooftop solar, & electric vehicles are just some of the green technologies gaining popularity across the US—and with billions in rebates from the #IRA rolling out, now is the time for energy pros to ensure they capitalize on this moment (1/4)

Went for a stroll around Chestnut Hill, Philly this afternoon. I am still amazed that these two gems are about 200 yards apart and were built within a few years of each other (1961 for Kahn’s Esherick House, 1964 for the Vanna Venturi House.)

As a young architecture student, seeing Serra’s huge, room-scale pieces was a revelation. I think most architects wish they could shape space as powerfully as he did.
We mourn the loss of #RichardSerra whose monumental works reshaped our perceptions of space and form.
