IDEAL CITIES - NOT!
This is a video of Yanjin County, Zhaotong, Yunnan, reputedly the narrowest county in China, with only one main road. Amazing! What is unfortunate, of course, is that the buildings show no connection with their dramatic site. This is one of the most depressing things about the economics of modern design and construction. Except in exceptional cases, the ability to create environments in which we truly would want to live is entirely absent.
Waterfront Toronto says the project, known as Quayside, will use advanced technology, innovative building techniques and funding to encourage ‘climate-positive urban development’
‘Downtown Dundee’
Our brief this semester is to brand and create an identity for the area known as ‘downtown dundee’ which includes Castle Street, Exchange Street, Dock Street, Commercial Street and the High Street. During the initial stages of the project we were to explore the area, take some photographs and speak to the retailers in the shops. I myself had never really been to this part of town despite spending a lot of time in Dundee from a young age, so I was quite intrigued as to what this little area has to offer.

The Netherlands’ system of dikes and sea gates has long been the best in the world. But as the country confronts the challenges of climate change, it is increasingly relying on techniques that mimic natural systems and harness nature’s power to hold back the sea.
SF Examiner:
"Ballot proposal would change development process for SF waterfront
By Joshua Sabatini
San Francisco’s waterfront has become the epicenter of development battles as the prized land has become increasingly desirable for hotels, commercial space and luxury condos. However, a new proposal has raised the stakes and could dampen ambitious plans such as the Warriors arena or the Pier 70 housing and retail development.
A ballot measure proposed for the June election would require voter approval if developments exceed existing waterfront height limits, which generally range from 40 to 105 feet.
While critics may lambaste the effort as anti-development, proponents say the measure is necessary to protect the beloved waterfront.
Under the measure, the existing height limits on Port of San Francisco property would be enshrined. If a development were proposed that would exceed those height limits, voters would have to approve it. Currently, developments that seek to increase height limits can do so with approvals from the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors."
