quiet modernism

More musings than mutterings and possibly containing no useful information. Quiet Modernism – I was going to write about Carpenter Modern (my own term) but I went on too long with Quiet M and I’ll just have to get back to Carpenter M another day. Quiet modernism is a term I’ve been usin

I've long been a huge fan of Ross Chapin and his "pocket neighborhoods" Brattleboro could use this.

We strive to create places that nourish the individual, support healthy household relationships, and foster a strong sense of community.

A bit grumpy this morning. Why do all the new multi-family housing projects look like fake bloated clapboard colonials or low bidder office park blah? So much wonderful stuff comes across my screen from other, less architecturally conservative parts of the world.

Ditto for Vermont as well. This from an architect friend down South.

LITTLE ROCK DESERVES MORE THAN PERMIT-READY PLANS.

As an architect specializing in affordable housing, I support urban infill. But Little Rock's proposed Permit-Ready Program risks addressing the symptoms rather than the problem.

The City's own survey raises five concerns:

1️⃣ AFFORDABILITY FIRST.
98% prioritize attainable housing. Free architectural plans won't overcome high land, infrastructure, and construction costs.
2️⃣ FIX ZONING FIRST.
Restrictive setbacks, parking requirements, and outdated zoning remain barriers to infill development.
3️⃣ PROTECT NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER.
94% value compatibility. Standardized designs cannot address every historic neighborhood or unique lot.
4️⃣ SUPPORT LOCAL PROFESSIONALS.
Publicly funded plans must not undermine small architectural firms serving local homeowners and developers.
5️⃣ MEASURE REAL RESULTS.
Only 61% believe the program will help. Where are the cost estimates, funding strategies, and housing-production goals?

We don't need more plans sitting on shelves. We need policies that make building housing possible at multiple scales.

I had the pleasure of dining with my family at a friend’s house this evening. A very cool modernist house. They have a nice kitchen with a big dining table where we all sat. We served ourselves from the pots and pans of food on the stove, drank mulled c***r, had lovely conversation and after we cleared our places my kids played instruments.

I’ve written before about this wonderful arrangement but it was nice to re-experience it and be reminded how great an old fashioned eat in kitchen is. I would sacrifice the living room before this if I were designing a “right sized “ home.

From 15 years ago maybe?
I still love the clarity of this project.
