What is this blog about?

"Hello, my name is John. I'm a recovering architect."

I like all sorts of towns, cities and buildings, but what I design are Classical buildings and Traditional cities. You can see some of them at architect.massengale.com.

With Robert A.M. Stern I wrote a history of architecture and urbanism in the Progressive Era, New York 1900, Metropolitan Architecture and Urbanism 1890–1915 (Rizzoli, 1983) as well as an introduction to the history of suburbia before sprawl, The Anglo–American Suburb (St. Martin's Press, 1981). I have a grant to write Do The Right Thing: Architecture, Urbanism, Democracy, the Zeitgeist & the Soul.

I'm a Director of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America, the Chair of CNU New York a Founding Member of the Congress for the New Urbanism, and a co-founder of the New Urban and Traditional Architecture Councils.

I was also a co-founder of the pro-urb list, a forum on the internet for an advanced discussion of New Urbanism. And in this blog you will find some postings from that list, along with other writings and clippings on architecture, urbanism, Classicism, Tradition, metaphysics and culture.

Spring Has Sprung VI

Georgetownpre

My Notre Dame architecture studio is two-thirds of the way through their designs for new neighborhood around Yankee Stadium. Shortly after the Yankees start the 2005 season, we'll have 3 masterplans (Yankeeville, The Fan District and Georgetown - above), along with buildings for each: 3 stadiums, 3 types of rowhouses, 3 types of apartment buildings, loft buildings and civic buildings (including train stations, ferry stations and a firehouse).

There's a photo of the site below (and a larger version here).
