Architecture as a Living Entity. This design encapsulates the future of architecture as living, breathing entities within the city. The undulating structures and suspended green spaces are possible thanks to AI’s ability to manage complex data, creating responsive environments prioritizing ecological and human well-being. The architects of tomorrow who leverage these technologies will lead the creation of cities that thrive symbiotically with their surroundings, making sustainability the core of urban innovation.

A man stabbed 7-year-old Wendy Wolin in public and then disappeared. The biggest manhunt in New Jersey history and 1,500 interviews couldn’t find him.

Last week in the SLAG GLASS CITY, we published a piece by Susanne Paola Antonetta about the unsolved murder of a young girl in Antonetta’s New Jersey hometown. Here we have a link further detailing the case. Read on to see how the 1966 murder of Wendy Wolin has forever changed the town of Elizabeth.

You can get anything you want in either city, as long as you know the right person.

Late last year in the SLAG GLASS CITY, we published an essay by Abhay Burjor Ghiara about his return to his hometown of Bombay, now Mumbai--where he encountered a city both intimately familiar and profoundly changed. Here we have a link to a New York Times piece about a photo project that looks at cities as sites of everyday commerce and image-by-image compares New York City and Mumbai. Scroll through the photographs to explore the vibrant marketplaces that occupy the bustling streets of both cities.

M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the largest freestanding cancer hospital, is on the front lines battling a disease that still faces grim odds.

One of our most beloved essays of 2016 was an image + text piece by Re’Lynn Hansen about returning to the city to seek cancer treatment, and the doctors and hospitals that have shaped this experience. Read on to see how urban cancer centers, sprawling yet grounded in humanity, are their own kind of city.

The Promise, 19|07|14 – 9|11|14 Arnolfini, Bristol.

My second post of the day on Living cities consists of this piece from The Promise a show at the Arnolfini is Bristol. I stumbled into the show the other day and this piece from Warren and Mosley really amused me so thought I would repost here. 

The work maps data collected from informal groups, old city records etc, but in a very insightful and amusing manner. High crime areas mapped against old peoples homes, or now defunct proposed transport schemes against illegal burn out areas from road racers. 

The juxtaposition of one dataset with another is mapped out beautifully from map to map and forms an insightful view of us as we live in cities. Riotous areas exist within our cities, it is what we as humans do when we are deeply dissatisfied as a collective. 

After all we are not automatons and cities should be playful, multifunctional places.

The show at the Arnolfini is good one for this piece alone so if you can go see.
