It seems to be an Urban Issue, but I wonder if our social system (or lack of) has something to do with it. By the way the Soccer Field, Maputo, Mozamique is my fav, it says something about the culture and lifestyle in just one shot. Brilliant topic.

]]> Comment on Pb Elemental, Seattle by Scott http://buildllc.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/the-work-of-pb-elemental/#comment-608 Scott Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:00:43 +0000 http://buildllc.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/the-work-of-pb-elemental/#comment-608 I like Pb's work. The house boat on Fairview is great. The massive fortress-like walls of the Queen Anne home and other structures make me recall the homes I saw in Dehli and parts of urban Nepal...gated homes with massive walls designed to keep things within, and keep the outside world out...sorry, but does not fit with the environs these homes are sited in.
