Preface: The origin of this Blog was an architecture school seminar; Social Aspect of Urban Form, NYC. Which examined New York City’ settlement patterns, spatial intricacies and vibrant public spaces to assess the influence of the built environment on behavioral activity and social engagement in the urban realm. From this point I have aimed to broaden the scope to document and survey other metropolitan regions and urban dynamics.

Cozy, Practical and Pretty Avant-garde
I’m fascinated by this interpretation of a park/plaza. of course, traffic safety and local regulations would probably discourage such spatial application State-side. However, Jacmel is predominantly pedestrian and motor-scooter environment making this a suitable option. This site seem to accommodate different activities throughout the day, chitchat, card playing, hair braiding, people watching…the city’s collective front porch.
