Articles
Although I have focused almost exclusively on architecture in 15 years as a full-time journalist, I have also documented the way architecture interacts with some very important aspects of our lives. That’s why you’ll find categories below, and here, on design of the workplace, infrastructure, and the ways we use design to commemorate key events and loved ones. I have a particular expertise in the forces that shape urban places (see also my book-in-progress on the subject), and the role design plays in shaping and expressing each city’s unique identity.
