John Wilsonâs âThe History of Concreteâ Uses the Built Environment to Critique Failing Systems (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when you spit out your gum onto a city sidewalk? If it doesnât get stepped on and carried away, that wad of sticky, sugary glue becomes a part of your neighborhood. Weâve all seen it: grayish pavement blotches that, over time, have been pounded into a petrified sidewalk polka-dot. As we learn in filmmaker John Wilsonâs first feature-length documentary, The History of Concrete, released on September 18 and screening at select U.S. theaters, these blobs donât need to be perman
Rubble From 9/11 Was Sent to Just One Landfill. This Photographer Has Spent 9 Years Documenting It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After the 9/11 attacks in New York City, nearly 1.5 million tons of rubble were removed from the site and sent to Staten Island’s Fresh Kills landfill. Once the largest dump in the world, the 2,200-acre site had already been decommissioned, and a competition for park designers launched, when it was selected as the place where Ground Zero materials would be redirected. Finally, in 2003, the decades-long revitalization project that would turn the stinking landfill into a massive wildlife park—subt

Inside the Unconventional College That Blends Classical Building Trades With Liberal Arts Education (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up in the rafters of the 1897 historic Charleston Trolley Barn, which houses the American College of Building Arts (ACBA), there is a respite from the campus’s buzzing finals week. Like a tree house, the space is intimate, a bit cramped, but filled with warmth. Pasted on one of the walls is what appears to be a page torn from a book depicting a Frederic Remingtonesque painting of an Old West gunslinger. Superimposed over the image are the words "SLOW IS SMOOTH / SMOOTH IS FAST." Smooth isn’t a t
Dolly Parton Never Left Her Childhood Home Behind. We Shouldnât Either (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alongside parents, neighbors, and teachers, the houses where we grow up help raise us. The childhood home sets the bar: Part of the ongoing dialogue around the housing crisis stems from young people today who grew up in middle-class suburban tract homes feeling betrayed by the fact that those same homes (and lives) are not attainable to them.
