free association design – mammoth // building nothing out of something

free association design

Via @bldgblog‘s link to this great post on the Mexican city of Guanajuato (which I first became fascinated with when the friend who introduced Stephen and I spent part of a summer there with an architecture studio), I see that Brett Milligan, whose project “Inundating the Border” mammoth briefly touched on in an earlier post on Texas hydrology, is writing an excellent blog entitled Free Association Design.

It looks like posting has been fairly infrequent until recently, but the topics are fantastic.  Besides the post on Guanajuato, which, as BLDGBLOG says, covers “nonorthogonal grids, partially underground infrastructure, off-kilter houses, and more”, recent posts include a follow-up on the intricate lace of hand-dug mining tunnels which honeycomb the hills outside Guanajuato, a brief review of the Landscape Infrastructures DVD (which neither Stephen or I have finished yet), and global maps of anthropogenic biomes.
