Big cities indicate small and compact homes. It holds for New York, London, Tokyo, and even New Jersey. Densely-populated cities can either tend to the people or larger-than-life homes. You might have to adapt to certain spaces that can’t accommodate all the elements you need with changing residential patterns. It means less stuff and less space. But does that work every time?

Japanese vernacular houses (minka) in the snow. Photo by Dennis Agusdianto on Unsplash This is another in my series of posts inspired by 1000 Awesome Things , the Webby Award winning blog written by Neil Pasricha. The series is my meditation on the awesome reasons why I was and continue to be attracted to the art of architecture. Architecture stems in large part from the relationship between humans and the natural environment, in particular the need for protection from the elements.

Malls are important, they’re some of the most visited places in our communities, frequented by billions of people around the world every year. To survive, however, they need to become places that are about much more than retail transactions. Honestly, malls are in decline. Hundreds of American malls shuttered after the 2007-09 recession. And retail researchers estimate 25% of America’s roughly 1,000 remaining large malls will close over the next 3 to 5 years.

The Rockingham Meetinghouse was begun in 1787, dedicated in 1798. After some preliminary analysis of the design and frame I realized in 2014 I needed to see it. I wondered if it would be as spare as the Rocky Hill and Sandown meetinghouses which preceded it. It is. The site, on top of a hill with a view all around, emphasizes the simplicity of the structure.

Surprised in Sherborne, 2 Sherborne’s Cheap Street is a very attractive jumble of architectural styles – from late-medieval timber framed structures to stone buildings from virtually every later date: a hotch-potch, mostly with recent shop fronts, but much of it given unity by the glowing stone. Even in this good company, the bow-fronted building above is outstanding.

Surprised in Sherborne, 1 Ever since I wrote a book linked to a television series about the history of Britain’s high streets, I’ve been interested in the architecture of shops, and when I visit a town I’m often agreeably surprised to find old shopfronts still intact and fronting valued local businesses. This frontage in Sherborne was one that caught my eye.
