Book Talk and Review: The Nature of Urban Design

<a href="http://islandpress.org/ip/books/book/islandpress/N/bo8897076.html"><b><i>The Nature of Urban Design: A New York Perspective on Resilience</i></b></a> by Alexandros Washburn<br />Island Press, 2013<br />Hardcover, 264 pages<br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJpAd8BeD24VL0_yS5dnJrdQecxWQCPQEJda41hUXqy6fHngsdyf-xjCG773-oxOHkUCCjxp0O1DFNDsCscKwN73wpq5KXqQWFzxycyDJQIEmzUi_DAaZRJpycvI-vwzvHEuHWEQ2ZAlK/s1600/9781610913805.jpg" /><br /><br />On January 13, a couple weeks after he ended his seven-year post as Chief Urban Designer of the NYC Department of City Planning, Alexandros Washburn <a href="http://cfa.aiany.org/index.php?section=calendar&evtid=6443">spoke at the Center for Architecture</a> about his new book, <i>The Nature of Urban Design</i>. Like many events at the Center, it started a little bit late, prompting members of the audience to ask Rick Bell, AIANY Executive Director, if Washburn was riding his bike to the event on the not-too-cold winter day. Needless to say, the author's reputation preceded his arrival at the podium where he discussed his firsthand experience of Hurricane Sandy in his neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn, his mentors, his definitions of urban design, his ideas on risk and resiliency, and his post-Bloomberg-administration path.<br /><br />Like the book, Washburn started the talk with stories and images of the storm surge in and around his home in Red Hook, one of the mayor's evacuation areas. Washburn stayed home to observe the rising waters, what happened to be the same week he had planned to write the introduction to his book that was years in the making – and more difficult than his work at the city, in his words. More than anybody could imagine, that storm changed how discussions of urban design happen; if anything pushing the word "resiliency" to the forefront of discussions about rebuilding and urban planning, particularly in coastal areas like New York. It's no wonder that Washburn's book is subtitled "a New York perspective on resilience," even though it's clear from Sandy's aftermath that the perspective is about what needs to be done, not what is already in place.<br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQ5mSYbn93LvRBUNpavvIzKfDqEh02nlcfSb666upaJ5gzHVKiZR36yOZe4THN7yiRO88sNB6YVcXez48I3z84LXt9kHbJBA3wYE9GY0CGnV_I6prg4_J0sMEJdNongX2l9YT8oNu4gyV/s1600/2014-01-13+19.03.15.png" /><br />[Photo by John Hill]<br /><br />Having seen Washburn speak at PlaNYC and other related events in the past, I was familiar with his triumvirate of influences – Jane Jacobs, Robert Moses, and Frederick Law Olmsted. But I had not heard him speak about Daniel Patrick Moynihan, which he did on the 13th, paralleling the preface to his book. Moynihan is known for the way he <a href="http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/136543">guided the principles of Federal architecture</a>, so it's no surprise that he was the only politician on Capitol Hill with an architect on staff. Near the end of Moynihan's four terms, that architect was Washburn, who left to make the <a href="http://www.moynihanstation.org/">eponymous NYC station</a> of his mentor a reality. Washburn took from Moynihan a sense of civic responsibility, something he passed on through his work at City Planning during two of Bloomberg's terms, in this book (while it may not have all the answers, it asks a lot of the right questions), and in the future at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he will be working with two departments (complex systems and Davidson labs) to look closer and more scientifically at the waterways around New York City in this century of "rising tides."<br /><br />In the book Washburn lays out his case for resiliency in urban design in five chapters: Why Should We Care About Urban Design?, The Process of Urban Design, The Products of Urban Design, The Process and Products of the High Line, and Urban Design for Greater Resilience. The first chapter deals with his four mentors, while the next two chapters delve into the nitty gritty of the often misunderstood field of urban design. Given Washburn's statement in the talk that, unlike architecture, urban design "influences everything but controls nothing," the chapter on process is an important one, yet admittedly it is is geared to students and professionals interested in the field. Laypeople will probably find the fourth chapter more interesting, since here the preceding chapters are applied to a case study, and an extremely popular and familiar one at that.<br /><br />Washburn closed his talk, like the book, with some words on risk and resiliency. As in other parts of <i>The Nature of Urban Design</i>, he explains things in a way that make the fairly large and abstract subjects and concepts easy to understand, though I won't go into detail on what that chapter offers in detail here. Needless to say the book and the book talk parallel each other not only in the chapter-by-chapter structure but also in the way Washburn uses words. There is a conversational quality to the way he has written the book, such that reading it is like hearing him in the same room. Add to this the fact many of his own sketches and photographs are found throughout the pages, and the book is a personal yet broadly applicable account of urban design in New York City at a time of great challenges but also great potential.<br /><br /><b>US: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1610913809/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1610913809&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.com" border="0" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan.gif" /></a> CA: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1610913809/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1610913809&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.ca" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-ca.gif" width="90" /></a> UK: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1610913809/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1610913809&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.co.uk" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-uk.gif" width="90" /></a></b>

Researchers found no such effect in women, but the study included too few female heavy drinkers to test the effect of drinking the same amount as in men, said Severine Sabia, a study author from University College London.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_10638" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">In an email, she said it was not possible to identify a specific minimum level of consumption at which the risk begins in men.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_10648" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Her study used data from over 20 years.

The minimum amount was the equivalent of about 13 ounces of wine a day or about 30 ounces of beer. The maximum was about three times that.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Men drinking that minimum amount are not necessarily at risk for accelerated mental decline, since the results pertain to the category overall, said Sara Jo Nixon, a substance abuse researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville, who did not participate in the work.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">She also said that the study shows a link between drinking and faster mental decline but not proof that alcohol intake was responsible.

A new ABC “World News” poll finds that seventy-one percent of employed American adults they are somewhat to extremely interested in learning to how get a pay raise.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3507" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">So how do you ask your boss? It can be uncomfortable especially if you aren’t prepared and don’t have the right tools when you negotiate. So we asked a group of experts, including two stars of the ABC series “Shark Tank,” to share some of their advice so you’ll be confident when you’re in the hot seat.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3517" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“You have to be careful with your words because the words make a difference,” says real estate mogul, Barbara Corcoran. “If you walk in and say ‘Hey, I want a raise,’ it's pretty abrupt. What you want to do instead is say, ‘I'd like to review my compensation, my job duties, and I'd like you to consider giving me a $5,000-$7,000 raise.’”</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3527" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Before you go into the meeting with your boss, put yourself in his or her shoes. Giving out a raise is a business decision and your boss will have to justify the expense.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390294864076_3537" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“The boss is all about numbers, says Daymond John, founder of FUBU. “Are you gonna increase sales or maybe also take on another position in the company to reduce cost? You always have to think about the numbers ‘cause the boss is thinking about the numbers.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And don’t forget that negotiating a raise is a skill, and it’s important to practice when the stakes are low so you’ll be confident when you sit down with your boss. Practice by asking for discounts while you’re shopping, or negotiating the price when you have someone clean your carpets.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“It’s almost like a muscle, because it's uncomfortable, that you need to build,” says LinkedIn career expert Nicole Williams. “I just want you to get comfortable talking about money.”</div></div></div>

You then have a set amount of time — either 15 seconds, 50 seconds or 90 seconds (you decide) — to make a final selection from among those three titles.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">This is the “Showdown” of Netflix Showdown: The three movies are fighting for your approval.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" height="257" src="http://l2.yimg.com/cd/resizer/FIT_TO_WIDTH-w500/ea77db6bd1fa703166bb7f1dfe2d4292b2c2640b" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="500" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">If you don’t make a selection before the timer runs out, Netflix Showdown can choose for you and will auto-play one of the three flicks or TV shows.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Here, for example, Netflix Showdown has automatically selected “101 Dalmations,” “Super 8” and “Firefly” as the Showdown titles. Since I didn’t click on any of the posters before the time ran out, the app chose “Super 8” for me, and will start playing it in a few seconds. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;"><img alt="image" src="http://l.yimg.com/os/publish-images/news/2014-01-17/b7e34071-ba07-4e3f-a58e-c36a6e057d9d_netflix-showdown.gif" style="border: 0px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Now, there are obvious downsides to Netflix Showdown. It only works on your laptop, so if you watch Netflix on a tablet, a gaming console or a Roku, you can’t use it. Second, it only works on the Google Chrome browser: Internet Explorer and Firefox users are out of luck. And sometimes, the movies that Netflix Showdown chooses are complete duds. Netflix Showdown — which is in no way associated with Netflix — is not quite as smart as Netflix’s learning software, which Netflix used to create something similar to Netflix Showdown in <a data-rapid_p="69" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;g:734dcf62-69e3-3db5-bb85-ba427bcc1c7f;ct:1;t1:a5;t4:18;itc:0;" href="http://news.yahoo.com/netflix-max-221008517.html" style="color: #324fe1; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">one of the mini-games in its new Netflix Max app</a>. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0.55em; margin-top: 0.55em;">Netflix Showdown, however, works a little bit faster than Netflix Max and also gives you some agency in setting up the titles you want to choose from.
