For this week's interview, we speak with about her project, Wet Paint: A Study of Subway Columns. We discuss uncovering the hidden colors of the NYC Subway, memory, and nostalgia.

“I couldn’t help thinking about the beaten edges of subway columns, which reveal a long, layered history of repainting. I have always tried to bring elements of NYC into my work, it seemed like the perfect subject for this project.”

This week’s interview is with where we discuss what equity and design entail, books for those exploring feminist design, and what creating buildings and spaces which are built for everyone. Thank you to Grace Thomas for the time, and consideration for this interview. Click the link in the bio or goto typology.city/view/ for the interview.

Yesterday was particularly difficult, as insurrection came to the Capitol, the first time since 1812.

I despise your twisted sense of patriotism, the kind which takes up arms and aggression against your own country. And for what? A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

We were out and about Brooklyn yesterday and we encountered one of and 13 Yurt Villages across the US, designed to support safe outdoor dining during COVID-19.

I was surprised how much I liked them. I’m a sucker for repeated multiples of the same shape and object. I’m sure that the experience at night is nice. The village concept is what I love about the work of – the human-scale of the yurts sitting on the sidewalk bulb-outs was pleasing, and well proportioned.
I still wouldn’t eat outdoors at a restaurant until after we are all vaccinated, but my risk tolerance is different than other people, and this is totally on brand for American Express.
