The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have brought me back to the last time I experienced something seismic like this: the 2008 financial crisis. It was frightening, it tested me, and ultimately it made me and my work better. Fear, uncertainty, and a kind of creative energy all seem to go together in times like these.

The City of Houston recently approved tax incentives for businesses that install green stormwater infrastructure. Property owners who construct green roofs, rain gardens, permeable pavement, and rainwater harvesting elements can have their property tax reduced. A facility would be eligible for a tax abatement if the project valuation is at least $3 million, with at least $200,000 of that for green stormwater infrastructure.

It’s the Kruger Shalati Boutique Hotel that had the fantastic idea of converting these stunning 1950s train cars into luxury guest rooms. There have been many train car conversions used in boutique hotels before, but the location of Kruger Shalati is what makes it truly unique. Imagine completely repurposed 1950s train cars, gorgeously styled and set upon a bridge high above the Sabie River.

All architectural drawings are representations - abstractions - of what we intend to build. The two lines that make up the wall segments drawn on a floor plan aren’t enough to describe what the wall should be constructed with. So we rely on three main devices to convey that information: drawings , schedules and specifications. Together these documents organize and catalog all the decisions necessary to build our project in a very precise way.

Anyone looking at the US electoral map can see how urbanization manifests itself in the US. A greater number of people live in small concentrated urban areas (the districts showing up in blue) than in the vast (red) territory in between the coasts and outside the urban centers. The people in the urban areas and those in the rural areas live in two different worlds and they follow different cultures and politics.
