Chicago Architecture: Chicago IL by Alex Fradkin
Last year my first book was published “The Left Coast: California on the Edge”, University of California Press, a five year project photographing the diverse California Coast and its people in collaboration with my best friend, my Dad. A dream come true! Next year my Second book will be published by Radius Books, “Bunkers: Ruins of War in a New American Landscape”. Another dream coming true. Two more books coming after that…I love to imagine, and then make it happen!Currently I am teaching architectural and portraiture photography at the International Center for Photography. I am passionate about sharing my passion with others, to help inspire and be inspired by my students – I love them too!

Josh Und’s fully Borgian landscape where the mathematics are kept orderly, the buildings grow on the planet like some vegetable mass, a fully algorithmic and structured excrescence of buildings, indistinguishable from the natural landscape, but also malicious. Is this the future of the Megacity?

Making Sense of Crime

Here’s another attempt to tap into public data. Minneapolis Police Dept. provides weekly crime reports. They are are pretty nice and contain detailed location and description on each call. However, tabular data and spreadsheets aren’t particularly user-friendly. The tablet app makes crime look easy by displaying current activity in any given neighborhood. The icons correspond to various types of crime, and the heat map reflect overall crime activity in the neighborhood. Detailed crime statistics are provided by time of day, week, month.

Starbucks might be pretty much the same all over the world, but the prices aren’t. The cheapest city is New Delhi and the most expensive is Oslo. Check out the video for some more examples.

Chicago opens up for diagonal pedestrian crossings

These are great. Giving pedestrians the opportunity to cross in all directions and getting automobiles from every direction to stop at the same time is a great reminder that cities are a collaboration.
