  1. The latest article I did for Smile online (Cebu Pac's publication) is already live! It's a short roundup of Singapore spots that boast great design and architecture. Writing this made me miss SG.

    A quick note on the Central Fire Station: the lookout tower is 111 feet, as in my original submission, *not* 11 feet. I've already alerted the editor to correct this.

  2. Autonomous mobility is more than technology — it’s a catalyst for urban transformation. Our new blog explores how driverless vehicles can reduce private car ownership, optimize street use, and support safer, more connected cities. Read the full piece: wix.to/QiO2BP6

  3. @cmconseils I love that these are called "desire paths" and that they are irrepressible!

  4. City Beautiful Blog takes a look at Chelsea — one of Manhattan's most layered neighborhoods. The Oreo was invented in what is now Chelsea Market. The Hotel Chelsea sheltered Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. The land under London Terrace once belonged to the author of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. And the High Line transformed an abandoned freight rail line into one of the city's most celebrated parks.

  6. K67: A Relic of Slovenian Design in London

    It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian architect Saša Mächtig in 1966 and one of the most successful pieces of street furniture ever produced. Thousands of these were manufactured and scattered across Yugoslavia as newspaper stands, ticket booths, and telephone kiosks. Now one sits here on Brushfield Street, stuffed with art books and posters, quietly holding its own against the glass and steel of modern London.

    What caught my eye was the reflection in the window beside it. The kiosk is doubled, ghosted against the Victorian brickwork behind the glass. Three eras layered in one frame: nineteenth-century London, Cold War-era Slovenian industrial design, and the sleek commercial architecture of today. The little yellow box wins.

    2008 vs. 2025

    From #industrial isolation to one of East London’s most recognisable #skylines. The "Mini Manhattan" effect is real. The Leamouth Peninsula has turned from derelict land into a vibrant hub.🏙️
