make Architecture with Paul Mosely was selected by a blind jury to exhibit drawings and present at the ACSA Annual Meeting in Detroit. From our presentation:
“We endeavor to create a new kind of Urbanism that heals and cultivates rather than colors in more of the grid. These nodes function more like like Roman precedents in that their cultivated nature sets them off against a non-hierarchical, geometric background.
We propose a twenty-first century network. A server farm fills the top 98,000 sf floor of the warehouse. Waste heat is used to heat a rooftop greenhouse in winter to grow produce for restaurants and those who desire a fresh, sustainable high-end product. The railroad yards can be farmed with asparagus and tomatoes, two crops that have rate of financial return, or planted with bamboo to sequester carbon and create raw material for furniture and flooring manufacture on one of the warehouse floors.
Bicycling replaces trains–not in a “Rails to Trails” way–but as a distribution system for same day delivery that is central to the Third Logistical Regime and a twenty-first century way of life.”

ACSA 105th Convention
Detroit
“The concept is very good. The design quality and graphic communication are fairly good. Tie to the conference theme is adequate–this is an urban solution but not explicitly for Detroit. Overall, however, the concept represents a positive contribution to the conference.”
