But What Decided The Matter For [teddy Cruz] Was The Sight Of A Fourth-year Architecture Student Sitting At His Desk At A Window, Drawing And Nursing A Cup Of Coffee As Rain Fell Outside.

In Great Cities, Spaces As Well As Places Are Designed And Built: Walking, Witnessing, Being In Public, Are As Much Part Of The Design And Purpose As Is Being Inside To Eat, Sleep, Make Shoes Or Love Or Music. The Word Citizen Has To Do With Cities, And The Ideal City Is Organized Around Citizenship -- Around Participation In Public Life.

At A Certain Fork In The Road Of Automatization, Europeans Chose To Have More Time, And They Work Far Less Than We Do And Get Much Longer Vacations. We Chose To Have More Stuff, The Stuff Sold To Us Through Those Beckoning Adjectives-bigger, Better, Faster: Jet Skis, Extra Cars, Second Homes, Motor Homes, Towering Slab Tvs, If Not The Time To Enjoy Them Or To Enjoy Less Commodified Pleasures.

Politics Is Pervasive. Everything Is Political And The Choice To Be "apolitical" Is Usually Just An Endorsement Of The Status Quo And The Unexamined Life.
