nice little tale for a quiet tea party...

Love SpacingToronto’s Before/After photo series. (I had a similar idea involving vintage postcards of various cities…but when you snooze, you lose.)

Reminds me of other delightful old/new transitioning-spaces projects, like the charming Dear Photograph website, or Stewart Brand’s still-relevant book (and subsequent 6-part BBC television series!! Who knew?), How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They’re Built.

Less urban-y, but also cool:

• Irina Werning’s Back to the Future Project (but I’ve already told you about this one)
• Young me/Now me

One of my all-time favourite blogs. Fascinated with space, scale, spectacle — he’s got this very compelling and very thorough geekiness for all things urban.

The Selby

Like an edgy Apartment Therapy. Todd Selby takes photos (and makes watercolour doodles) of friends and acquaintances — the beautiful creatives and their beautiful spaces.  Some of it’s interesting and inspiring, at least — like all the great art on some of those walls.  The interview format is cute.
