Mapping two dozen years of public service architecture/urban design; new, old, and little houses, trees, stairs on streets, and streets that need them; parks for food, rocks for marks, murals on walls, and visions unrealized; rosebud bars, swimming the edge, and how they all taught me the city and county.

ABSTRACT
“In the Empire in question, the Cartographer’s Art reached such a degree of Perfection that the map of a single Province took up an entire City, and the map of the Empire covered an entire Province. After a while thse Outsized Maps were no longer sufficient, and the Schools of Cartography created a Map of the Empire that was the size of the Empire, matching it point by point. . . No other relics of Geographic Discipline can be found anywhere else in the land.” – Jorge Luis Borges, 1968 – On Scientific Rigor

Thank you Denis for introducing me to Concepts of Space almost two decades ago when studied at the School of Design (now College of Design) at NCSU. Then, I did not complete some of the writing but I enjoyed taking your class and reading the books. Today, I look back on those days of sophomoric discourse (I was in my second year of studies) as a fundamental block of knowledge to help me in both civilian and military studies. Tomorrow, I hope to emulate your scholarship with some works of my own.
