ruminations about architecture and design

three hundred thousand men in armour clad

One part is over and another longer part continues. The events of the past week, and particularly yesterday, demonstrated how a city can be One Thing. Because of law enforcement priorities nearly every citizen of Boston acted like a unit yesterday. Most significantly, the transportation networks were stopped, and although the scope of that stoppage was a bit wider than it needed to be, the ultimate effect was worthwhile. The architectural lesson here is that one person, on foot, with no friends, cannot hide in the midst of a population.

We return to our regular programming soon.
