Rendering Street Life - Dapper Bruce LaFitte, Atlanta's City Design Studio, and Brian Stromquist
I wish city planner presentations were more like Dapper Bruce's.
When I get a triple urban design epiphany, I figure I'm the last to know.
1. On May 20 I saw "The Dapper Comes to the Walkers" in which New Orleans folk artist Dapper Bruce LaFitte presents lovable street scenes. It's at the Atlanta Contemporary through August 7. Go see.
I'm thinking: I wish city planner presentations were more like Dapper Bruce's.
2. On May 23. Atlanta opened its City Design Studio as a popup in Ponce City Market. This is a good thing, keep your eye out for a party.

3. One Saturday May 27 I met Brian Stromquist, an architect at San Francisco office of Ginsler. Brian said architects were trying to incorporate "anticipation and memory" which is what happens in art and poetry.
I'm thinking: Maybe the artists and the city planners could get together once in a while?
Here's how Dapper Bruce does lovable places:
New Orleans artist Dapper Bruce LaFitte is my new favorite renderer of street life.
This is how architecture and city planning professionals do lovable places.
How Dapper Bruce does it
How model builders do it.
How Dapper Bruce does it.
What they teach in architecture school.
Thanks:
Dapper Bruce LaFitte
Thanks to Gensler architect Brian Stromquist who goofed with me for Instagram and put "anticipation and memory into my head."
2016-05-23 Opening day for Atlanta City Studio popup with Kevin Bacon, Tim Keane, Ryan Gravel, Jodi Mansbach, and Vanessa Lira. This is important: they are making Atlanta more fun. Drop in on the 2nd floor of Ponce City Market.
