In the June <strong>2015</strong> issue we profiled<br />
architecture professor Travis Price,<br />
who takes his students to remote<br />
locales to build modern structures<br />
that reflect the local folklore.<br />
He’s the Elise Keating of architecture.<br />
…students studying design not the<br />
law. —Kelly Dobbs<br />
I thought it looked like Noah’s Ark<br />
as soon as I saw it! —Celia Allen<br />
The next ark, first prototype.<br />
—Ron Pulliam<br />
Yeaa...a work of art. Neat. —Bob Guy<br />
DWELL POLL<br />
We asked<br />
readers to share<br />
their outdoor<br />
spaces with the<br />
hashtag<br />
#dwelloutdoor.<br />
Here are two of<br />
our favorites:<br />
To continue the conversation started<br />
in our Energy 360 article in the June<br />
<strong>2015</strong> issue, we asked: Can neglected<br />
urban waterways like the Los Angeles<br />
River and Houston’s Buffalo Bayou<br />
become thriving greenways?<br />
ANYTHING is possible in LA...<br />
—Tyler Gazecki<br />
Channelized and heavily<br />
disturbed, but sure. —Ryan Kargel<br />
For years I rode a 15-mile stretch<br />
along Brays Bayou and never encountered<br />
mosquitoes or water stench.<br />
Did endure attacks by nesting birds<br />
along the path. Buffalo Bayou,<br />
depicted here, runs thru prime urban land. Land values are measured in price per<br />
square foot...$50-$500/SF. Just above this it runs through Memorial Park, larger<br />
in area than NY’s Central Park, and just as heavily used by our city. Model or not, there<br />
is a significant move to further augment natural spaces around the metro areas,<br />
which I am proud to see! —Ken Verrett<br />
They’ve done it in my hometown [Quebec, Canada] and it was a huge success.<br />
—Philippe Tremblay<br />

SPOTLIGHT<br />
@Carlhansenandson on Instagram<br />
It should come as no surprise that we love seeing homes around<br />
the world featuring classic modern furniture. We are enamored<br />
with the #globalhomes initiative led by Carl Hansen & Son—<br />
every day they are sharing choice shots, and the winner will win a<br />
Wishbone Chair. This one, posted by @y.isan, features a perfect<br />
moment captured in a family home in Japan. We also spy a Tripp<br />
Trapp—head to page 80 to learn more about that classic piece.<br />
