Yea, you guys are very well read, I am humbled by the names your are tossing around.
The project of mine above that I teamed up with another architect to do, is a very small version of new Urbanism or live/work. It sits on 20 acres not 200 as Andre Duany would have it.
My point is that if you sit on any bar stool, or go to just about any party; Joe average will quickly wander into talking about Urban Design. I forgive people for doing so, that is mixing up Urban Design with Architectural design as they are inseperable.
It is a poor building that does not consider it's site, and it's contex in the urban landscape. Design is more than ideas and concepts being explored, it's how it comes all together.
