With another #globalurbanstudy tour approaching, I’m revisiting past tour insights, such as in Edinburgh’s New Town. My #urbanstructurediagrams capture built edges, streets, and key nodes—quick sketches focused on memory, revealing how places, spaces, and connections relate.

While in London studying ground floor urban conditions, I reflected on how revisiting a place deepens my understanding, and reshapes my #urbanstructurediagrams. This Bloomsbury sketch maps connections, landmarks, vistas, and densities in a richly walkable, transit served, amenity filled district.

I’ve been reflecting on the border between #Detroit and Windsor. Since 911, through COVID, and now, it’s often seen as a barrier. I see it as a seam; connecting nature, industry, and cultures. My #urbanstructurediagrams explore the most unique cross-border urban relationship on the globe.

Across 110th St. in Harlem, I explored #todaysmainstreet—Lenox Ave & 125th St.—a crossroads of grit, energy, and community. Surrounded by leafy brownstone blocks, churches, parks & hubs. My #urbanstructurediagrams capture the connections, landmarks & density that define the area.
