Just hired a 21yo for their first job. What basic professional advice do they need? Here's what I tell all my new staff, but perhaps you can add. I'll start small. 1/ Use an online calendar. Have a foolproof system of reminders, so you never forget a deadline or obligation.

Modernists like to conveniently forget how popular and practical Neo Victorian Architecture was a mere 2 decades ago. These decent examples in Washington DC are both from the early 2000s.

There are so many people in jobs they hate. There are even more people in jobs that don’t really speak to them, even though they’ve developed competency. It’s because we don’t have a means for creating jobs that fit people and their aspirations.

The Village of Providence in Huntsville, Alabama is a traditional neighborhood that was designed in 2002 and finished in 2014. It features hundreds of homes and thousands of jobs, most of which are local businesses. This is proof that we can still build strong, beautiful places.

Amsterdam, one of the world's most charming cities, has an extraordinary amount of buildings, that, by contemporary US standards, would be far too narrow to live in comfortably. And yet many do. We don't need a half acre lot to be happy, people manage life quite well otherwise!

Picture this. You wake up and walk downtown. Neighbors greet you from their porches. The streets are filled with people—kids playing, adults chatting. You run into an old friend and catch up outside a local cafe. This is the life we want to create in cities across North America.
