Hello. Welcome. And all that jazz..

"Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends. "

- Lewis Mumford

I hope this to be a compendium, a dialogue of all the best we can offer as cohabitants of the urban space. What do we find in our daily lives that brings us joy, laughter, stimulation?... and where do we feel neglected in these senses of happiness? This may be vague to start, but I am confident this blog's identity will become fleshy, tactile, and rich with external exploration. Other blog names I have toyed with included:

'Glass Half Full'.. a critical conversation of our built world with optimistic overtones

'For the Love of Line'... an enthusiastic expose of the trajectories that make up our environment, how you see them,  how I see them, why we love them. An illustrator has already snagged this title, but not domain, debating whether to push forward with it.

'SkinnySA'.. more focus towards local design progress (and stagnation), this title might become the umbrella that will catch my blog along with a few other colleagues.

The intention is to create an active, vibrant forum for the local, the lateral and the curious... so here we go, cheers!
