These cities embody the allure and the challenge of the contemporary Americ…

The Mobile IndividualMobile Life, Longer-term Approaches and Subjectivities
"Being mobile is more than just traveling." Early research on transportation long believed that daily commutes were a waste of time, and that modes of transportation were simply interchangeable depending on changing circumstances.

Sanctuaries of Earth, Stone, and LightThe Churches of Northern New Spain, 153…
Over nearly three centuries, Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican missionaries built a network of churches throughout the "new world" of New Spain.

Coreografie urbaneProgettare architetture dei comportamenti
La condizione di «luogo abitato» sussiste purché qualcuno vi porti i propri passi, vi indugi, vi si adatti e, viceversa, lo adegui alle proprie esigenze, pratiche e poetiche.
