The block party makes all the cars go away. Beautiful!
What is architectural design? It is the specification of products and materials that form and define space.
Brooklyn's brownstones are structures that endure through the generations. The "Brownstone" is a fantastic building type because it is flexible and increases human density without compromising human scale intimacy.
My intention in studying these most beautiful examples of human habitations in the fabric of the built environment, is to quantify why some streets, some particular brownstones and some front entrance "stoops" are more aesthetically and/or functionally pleasing than others. If I draw these existing structures, then perhaps a golden proportion will reveal itself, which I can then use to design future dwellings.
