Writing about infrastructure is everywhere these days...or at the very least, all over the parts of the Internet that I frequent. Here's a partial roundup of noteworthy recent road-related gems. Just a few of many, really:First, Shawn Micallef of Spacing--one of my favorite publications--travels the length of Spadina Avenue, one of …

Disney has always been an easy target for urban designers and architects. Main Street USA, the main drag of its parks, can be read as a cruel joke. Its simulated urbanism and faux-festive atmosphere can be seen as a sinister, conservative knock-off of actual small-town main streets of yore, lodged deep …

In advance of Friday's meeting of the International Olympic Committee--generating outsize amounts of buzz for the Obamas' involvement in the pitch of their home city--the logos and selected videos from the four candidate cities: Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. Chicago: Madrid: Rio de Janeiro: Tokyo: Regardless of all the other ramifications of something as …

Following reports that an Australian graphic designer "found" an entire alphabet of letters on Google Earth in just six months, news emerges about an injured English picture researcher who did the same thing, using satellite imagery of the United Kingdom, in just 15 hours.Together the images provide meditative fodder on different …

A quick look at a great idea: a microhousing concept for Vancouver called Lanefab. More than just a hip-looking infill housing scheme, it's one that is uniquely suited to the specific urban fabric of Vancouver, which apparently has an extensive network of alleys, aka laneways.The concept plumbs the possibilities of new …

The world's southernmost metropolis has a new brand image. It makes a strong visual impression, and stands out as a great case study of what's possible in expressing a sense of place graphically. Blocky, colorful, and suggestively intricate, the city of Melbourne's new M is meant to conjure visions of a city on the cutting edge, …

Someday soon I'd like to try the offerings of Kogi Korean BBQ-TO-Go, a Los Angeles taco truck with a devoted cult following. Its food, a melding of Korean and Mexican foods, offers a uniquely Angeleno, "glocal" sense of place and culture: owner Roy Choi told the NYTimes in February that ?It is my vision of L.A. in …

This morning, the New York Times delights in reporting that clothing is a key factor in differentiating locals and tourists in vacation destinations--in this case, the Hamptons. Who is an impostor, and who really belongs? Exclusivity, as much as sun and sand, is part of the gravitational pull of the Hamptons, where …

Here's a few good picks for the week, taken from my Twitter account and my Delicious bookmarks to expand upon why they're worth your while. Now that we're resettled I am updating regularly, so feel free to check those out. # This argument, which holds that Michael Jackson would not have become who he …

Just quickly touching base to officially begin a new chapter in the life of this blog. It's now written from the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island, a fantastic neighborhood in a delightful city. As anyone who is familiar with a long-distance move knows, it is not just the physical distance …

Trying to sell your model home? Forget aspiring actors. Throw away the plastic food. Why even bother when you can have the real thing?The fragrance of sage-scented candles and sounds of jazz fill the air of a 2,600-square-foot house a block from the beach. Tiger-striped chairs flank tables crafted from exotic …

All, my apologies for the radio silence here recently. I am in the midst of planning a cross-country move this summer--to Providence, where my wife has landed a fantastic, exciting new job--and Brand Avenue has sat on the back burner while I investigate, both remotely and in person, typical moving-related things …

For fun, I'm re-reading David Mitchell's Ghostwritten these days. Those familiar with the book will know how the narrative voice shifts, in an engaging way, from character to character, across continents, and through time. At one point the arc of the story arrives at Marco, resident of London, who muses about …

Today, a pair of fascinating radio pieces focus on two different neighborhoods who share a common denominator of economic woe.First, take a few minutes to tune into a superlative This American Life episode from a couple of weeks ago about the spiraling effects of speculative development and foreclosure on Rogers Park, …

Today, a few noteworthy follow-ups and add-ons to earlier posts, and a bit of clerical work.- A global search for authenticity arrives in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, as a German developer imagines today's favela as tomorrow's development coup de grace. Crazy, possibly; but who can argue with the view? …

The Sears Tower--the tallest building in the United States and once, the tallest in the world--is to be renamed for Willis Group Holdings, an insurance company that is its newest tenant. After the company moves into its offices in the tower this summer, the building will be known as the Willis …

Sure, I know that the age of iconic architecture might be over, but while catching up on the Chronicle of Higher Education's Buildings & Grounds blog I couldn't help but marvel at the following ad, part of one company's campaign surrounding a very familiar recent event: It's starchitecture at the center of …

Below, images of POPS 66 , a thoroughly modern gas station and soda fountain in Arcadia, Oklahoma. (via Architectural Record) POPS 66 is prominently located along old US Route 66, and plays up that heritage with its agressive form:This is the ?mother road? of John Steinbeck?s Joads, and Woody Guthrie?two lanes, …

Nowadays it's a challenge to imagine the irrational exuberance that swept places like Los Angeles' Eagle Rock neighborhood several years ago. Emblematic of all the overlooked urban neighborhoods poised for transformation that this blog has long followed, Eagle Rock seemed to have, in plain view, all the raw ingredients for a …

Well, readers, George Washington's 276th birthday is upon us, as is Carnaval, and Purim is in just a couple of weeks. While unrelated, these things remind me that Brand Avenue turns four years old this week! So it's my time once again to thank you sincerely for your interest, your input, …
