Windows of New York
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 · Topics: architecture, design, inspiration
The Windows of New York project is a weekly illustrated fix for an obsession that has increasingly grown in Jose Guizar since chance put him in this town. A product of countless steps of journey through the city streets, this is a collection of windows that somehow have caught Jose’s restless eye out from the never-ending buzz of the city. This project is part an ode to architecture and part a self-challenge to never stop looking up. · Go to Windows of New York →

Ten design lessons from Frederick Law Olmsted
Wednesday, June 1, 2011 · Topics: architecture, design, design-theory, inspiration, lessons-learned
Olmsted (1822–1903), the father of American landscape architecture, may have more to do with the way America looks than anyone else. Beginning in 1857 with the design of Central Park in New York City, he created designs for thousands of landscapes. His works include Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Boston’s Emerald Necklace, Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, Mount Royal in Montreal, the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the White House, and Washington Park, Jackson Park and the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Plus, many of the green spaces that define towns and cities across the country are influenced by Olmsted. · Go to Ten design lessons from Frederick Law Olmsted →
