  • Conceptual Suburbia: A Design Project Descends on Levittown – NYTimes.com

    Suburbia: What a concept by Allison Arieff.

    What what most tangible in Open House was the work that remained most invisible. The design team of EFGH (Hayley Eber and Frank Gesualdi) with Irina Chemyakova explored the potential benefits that changes to code, zoning and other regulatory modifications might have on the existing suburb. The things they proposed, much in keeping with the work of others spearheading the movement to rethink suburbia like Ellen Dunham-Jones, June Williamson and Galina Tachieva, included increasing density, retrofitting existing buildings for new uses, and experimenting with public/private space.

    These changes, along with residents’ inclination to improve their own communities, could lead to better models for future development. I’ve observed little glimmers of the possibilities in truly collaborative projects like Farmer D’s suburban agriculture communities in the southeastern United States, the Ainsworth Collective’s efforts to develop a sustainable neighborhood in Portland, Ore., or the livable community projects of the Dallas suburb Oak Cliff.

  • A.D. Barnes Park

    A.D. Barnes Park is a 65-acre park nestled in the heart of one of Miami’s busiest areas. The park is dedicated to and named after the first Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, who strongly believed recreation was important to the lives of every citizen in Miami-Dade County. Since its opening in 1977, the park has integrated activities that serve people with disabilities into its programming.

    The park is home to The Sense of Wonder Nature Center and Trail set within one of the few remaining Pine Rocklands in Miami-Dade County. As a result, it has become an “oasis” for migrating birds and, according to the National Audubon Society, is one of the best places to see birds in Miami. The Nature Center is also home to the Miami-Dade Fire Department’s Anti-Venom unit’s reptile collection. Whether it is snakes, birds, swimming, or just a day enjoying a sun drenched picnic, A.D. Barnes Park offers something for everyone!
