The project works with one simple and perhaps a classical idea, to make public facilities as public spaces. All the architectural moves and arrangements of architectural elements are oriented to generate a sense of public space at the neighborhood scale. As the project is situated in a developing neighborhood which is surrounded by low- rise suburban development on one side and modernist slab…

Seattle Central Book Incarceration Facility, 2016.

Each time I see this horrible building in person or in photographs, it strengthens my thought that it was really designed to serve as a high security detention facility for criminals being tried at the Federal Courthouse seen through the glass on the right.

The Creator's Guide to Comics Devices is OPEN!!! comicsdevices.com

An online library of visual-narrative devices that are used in the medium of comics and other sequential art.

Happy Halloween! I'm really excited to be finally launching* what is maybe one of my most ambitious, largest work yet. This online library is the next phase of a research project that began in May 2020, when I first mused on how comics as a field doesn't have a resource that catalogues devices used in the medium. Like, theatre has devices, so does literature, and film! So why shouldn't comics? I always had an interest in comics studies and analysis. I love reading, making and thinking comics. However most of my knowledge was intuitive - I learned comics from osmosis and experience. This is true for many of my peers. Speaking about comics as a creator is hard, because we don't have a robust system of language. When we had to speak, many of us tend to reach for the language developed for film by film practitioners. If there is language specific to comics, it's either scattered in multiple blogs or hidden away in academic journals. The Comics Devices library is meant to aggregate everything and everybody into a single hub! After exploring some multiple resources, alongside some original, independent research, here is the first edition! * The Comics Devices project is still a work-in-progress! It's not final, nor will it ever be. This is why I am seeking contributors to help build this library. Translations, comics examples, etc. There is a lot of work to do! If you are interested, reply to this post or submit an expression of interest on this page.  Have fun everyone!! (Now time for me to melt x_x)

The room had the dead feeling common to public buildings when empty of people.

Louise Welsh, The Cutting Room

Margo Neale told me about a community in Leonora, Western Australia, who painted Dreaming stories on toilet blocks and other public buildings to deter vandalism (it worked).

Dear New York, hi. Quick question… Was it worth destroying one of the greatest buildings ever built in The US for the butt-fucking ugly monstrosity you replaced it with?

Btw my benchmark for if I've made a good post is when the little gay people start flirting and/or borderline sexting with each other in the notes

Metropol Parasol, Seville - J. Mayer. H

The old stationhouse in Skovsgård, North Denmark region. The building was constructed in 1897 or 1910 (sources online differ). The station was one of the busiest on the Nørresundby-Fjerritslev stretch, but ceased operation in 1969 along with the rest of the Fjerritslev-Frederikshavn line. Today it's a cute house with an interior design very authentic to its history.

my current read on yoshidas ch is that hes the equivalent of a high schooler being made manager of a mcdonald’s bc all of his adult coworkers quit which leads him to believe that the fate of the world now depends on his ability to keep the drive thru times below 90 seconds
