The Authenticity of Action: Latest Article in Note Bene (Italy)
The newly launched Italian magazine Note Bene asked me to do a piece for their introductory issue, tantalisingly devoted to (paraphrasing from the original Italian intro text) “the authenticity and creativity of action”.

Site-Specific Urban Design: The Call and Response of Street Art and the City
I think we’re missing the boat on street-level design R&D. That’s pretty much the summary of my latest essay and photo gallery exploring the visual and physical interplay which is taking place between urban intervention, street art and the urban landscape which was just published in the journal CITY: Analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action. When [...]

Piece in Icon
Just hitting the stands now is the 50th issue of Icon, for which they asked me to do a piece on the latest wave of urban interventions. The result, “Customising the City”, is a general overview of some of the guerrilla design being done at the moment around the world. Featuring interviews and images from [...]
The Book. Is done.
Just finished writing my part of the “Visualising the City” book which will come out later this year on Routledge Press.
