Nice article by Michael Kimmelman in the New York Times about smart cities and public spaces. Apparently the two are connected. The trick is to make the most out of even small, neglected urban spots or corner. From the article, … Continue reading
Domestic Judaism, Objects and Memory (“As it were … So to speak: A Museum Collection in Dialogue With Barbara Bloom)
