As strange as this viral project may seem, there’s a historical precedent for this kind of adaptive reuse—but that doesn’t mean it’s always done right. dwell.com/article/you-turned…

You Turned a Mall Into Housing?

As strange as a recent viral project in Milwaukee may seem, there’s a historical precedent for this kind of adaptive reuse—but that doesn’t mean it’s always done right.

For @dwell I did a deep dive into Chicago’s Missing Middle Infill Housing (née Come Home Chicago) to figure out if design competitions, even with the best laid plans, can result in any public good. 🧵 dwell.com/article/do-archite…

For @dwell I tried to parse through student housing evictions—codes of conduct and enforcement, exclusion and moralization historically built into higher ed institutions, and the condition of being a young person navigating burgeoning adulthood. dwell.com/article/israel-ham…

An interesting little fact about Vice's content: a full site archive, including saving outbound links, was performed by the volunteer Archive Team last year and it took ~six months to capture all the Vice content across all the languages they publish in. They've published a lot!

Since there has been some ~drama~ around +POOL, I interviewed architect Dong-Ping Wong about the larger challenges around bringing utopian projects to life: philanthropy, nonprofitism, and building coalitions around public space dwell.com/article/floating-p…

Update: I wrote about the Hotel from A Murder at the End of the World for @dwell dwell.com/article/a-murder-a…

I Can’t Stop Thinking About the Dystopian Hotel in “A Murder at the End of the World”

The fictional bunker perfectly embodies misanthropic luxury, evoking our current billionaires and their lairs almost too closely.

Jezebel defined an era of feminism for millions. It was also an exhilarating place to work, its editors and writers say. "How we talked about things was different," one said. "That’s what the mission of Jezebel was, to say the quiet things out loud." nyti.ms/46oMoUa

Jezebel mattered, and so will its loss. So, as they once said when I was growing up on the Internet, I asked @TheSSKate to blog it, for @latimes: latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

A eulogy for Jezebel: 'It’s rare to know something you were a part of actually mattered'

Kate Dries, former editor at the groundbreaking women's site Jezebel, reflects on what it meant for the culture and why its closure hurts.
