David Mandel, T.A. Professor Streatfield notes that one of Christopher Tunnard's provocative observations was on the value to be had from abstracting vernacular landscapes to inform modern design.
Think of Chinese or Incan agricultural terraces, California's coastal and central valley windbreaks, druid stonework, Mayan pyramids, northern Chinese underground dwellings or Central African cave dwellings, and you can picture a wealth of vernacular design information.
Garrett Eckbo, as we have seen, adapted Tunnard's thinking to his Farm Service Administration projects such as the example we've seen from Yuba City, California.

This bit of 40-year-old punditry aptly describes what many likely think of as "suburban blight." That is, the term is repetitive; suburbs are by definition blighted; there is no charm or value to the tract home and highway strip.
(That's what Tunnard, then-chair of the Yale planning department, argued for back in 1958.) New Urbanist and Neo-Traditional developments, mimicking the inner cities and old garden suburbs, have been envisioned as a new model - and, once in a while, actually built - in our growth zones.
It is terribly hard for small towns to stay alive and healthy in the face of central urban growth....
