I love mews streets like this one in Holborn, London (WC1). The way the houses relate to their narrow streets, often slightly hidden and requiring a certain level of intrigue to discover. One day I would like to live on a street like this.
Alleyway, Farringdon, London (EC1).
Sometimes you have to change your field of view in order to see something more pleasing. Too often we travel through the city and fail to engage with anything more than three meters from the ground. Take a minute to look up next time your out and about.

Brilliant documentary on cycling in Brussels, the mot congested city in Europe. Grab a cup of coffee and take 20mins to have a watch, well worth it.
Tactical Urbanism 2 by Street Plans Collaborative is out! Get it here! Some nice weekend reading!
The city seems to be too boring in the eyes of many and that’s why new playful urban interventions will overload the urban landscape in the coming time. New generations of grown-ups want to experience the city as a playground and designers slowly get to understand this. Whereas street artists and non-commissioned urban interventionists started to experiment with these kinds of interventions over the past years, now also governments and brands aim to be playful in public space by creating and injecting urban play elements.

Interesting video about the relationship between skateboarders and public spaces. As a skateboarder myself I appreciate the fact that different people read the built environment and it's interesting to see how the city of Auckland are approaching the subject.

Quite looking forward to attending this tomorrow (19/08/2011), a talk regarding the development of the Barking Central project with speakers from AHMM, the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and muf architecture/art LLP. Will be a good precursor to my forthcoming work experience at AHMM. Expect a post in the next few days covering what went on.

The BMW Guggenheim Lab is a mobile laboratory, which will travel to big cities worldwide over six years, addressing issues of contemporary urban life through programs and public discourse. The mobile structure will be designed by different architects and each will travel to three cities around the globe.
The BMW Guggenheim Lab by Atelier Bow-Wow opened in a gap of New York’s Lower East Side on August 3 and from October 16 it will migrate to Berlin and a city in Asia. The theme of the Lab’s first two-year cycle is Confronting Comfort.

I really like these, rode past them in Waterloo the other day. Not only are they quite contemporary, functional installations of street furniture but they also convey a positive message in regards to promoting the use of bicycles over cars in London.
Finally picked up a copy of this book for myself yesterday, I've heard so much regarding the influence of this book and I am a big admirer of the work of Jan Gehl in general, cant wait to get stuck in.
In a car dominated society small changes can make a big difference in raising the awareness of the presence of cyclists on the streets. DIY projects such as this are on the increase and shows how small unobtrusive and inexpensive additions to our streetscapes can have a significant impact.

A very insightful read on the emergence of landscape urbanism as a discipline. Worth mulling over...

The latest edition of Monocle is proving to be the best yet. Their annual cities issue contains not only their run-down of what they consider the most liveable cities but also a variety of articles and discussions regarding the challenges of urban living and policy in the typical Monocle style. Pick up a copy today, definitely worth the cover price.
