I will, but not very often. After something grows big, there comes to be a point where you contribute more by removing things than by adding more.
I just love the content you have and hope you will continue to add. I found your blog after getting sad about not being able to afford many of the books on urbanism I would like. (Recent graduate). But after looking I found this blog and it has fed my need for critical thinking about urbanism.

I think Emergent urbanism is not the same as letting slums happen.

I recently learned why the vernacular architecture pictured in your post will never be shown in architecture school. The people who built them, did so only for themselves, they have no need for academic support. For this reason alone, academics hate the 'untrained' independent. A classmate of mine recently left school because a side project he was working on went into construction. When he told the teachers he was leaving to build a project, they all became mad. They said he was not able to build yet because he did not have his degree yet. He said 'construction starts next week'
Do you think Louis Kahn would like those works?
This actually draws the line between the mainstream stuff you see coming up everyday.Brilliant collaboration.
