CEU - declaration of viseu Elizabeth Plater Zyberk noted on the one hand a retreat into theory in which "obfuscation trumps communication" and on the other the notion of the architect as genius whose creativity and originality must not be constrained.

Both citizens and politicians, it seems, tend to equate anti-sprawl with anti-growth, and therefore direct their efforts toward impeding development altogether: decades of growth-as-sprawl have convinced most people that any new construction at all is detrimental to the landscape. www.syracusethenandnow.net /SettlementPlan/EPZ_Interview.htm   (3889 words)

In These Times - Botched Burbs As Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Jeff Speck report in their recent manifesto Suburban Nation, those cheerful ranch houses arrayed in spotless, assembly-line rows on idyllic virgin land have mutated into swirling viruses of McMansions, garage-fronted stucco shacks and cul-de-sacs pushing their way relentlessly into imperiled wetlands and forest belts. But reading Rosalyn Baxandall and Elizabeth Ewen's new history, Picture Windows: How the Suburbs Happened, next to the architects' impassioned plea is instructive. Using Long Island as an historical laboratory, they trace its development from farmland to leisure-class retreat to mass-marketed worker's paradise, stressing throughout the struggles over race and class that transformed the landscape of Walt Whitman's Paumanok into Levittown. www.inthesetimes.com /issue/24/16/zipp2416.html   (225 words)
