Beauty is the antidote to NIMBYism. Street votes would empower local communities to reject ugly modernism, and instead choose gentle density in human proportions with details that are restful to the eye and have served us well for centuries. #nswpol @streetlevelaus

Great to have people in public leadership in Australia supporting the movement for a beautiful built environment! Thanks Chris.
Honoured to speak to @streetlevelaus last night about how beauty is the antidote to NIMBYism. Medium density can be done well. We need to build far more gentle density in a liveable and beautiful way. #NSWpol

Announcing the Perth Urban Architecture studio! If you are an Australian architecture student or practicing architect curious about beauty-centric architecture, we encourage you to participate in January. Like many cities with car-centric planning systems, Perth is experiencing a ‘missing middle’ challenge, with a lack of beautiful newly built medium-density homes. Planning restrictions and economic challenges to quality building have prevented us from building quality ‘gentle density’ at scale. The Urban Architecture Studio is a practical ⁠— but aspirational ⁠— volunteer-led project based on our Street Level and GROTTO Studio’s belief that beauty makes density not just tolerable, but desirable. This seven-day studio is open to all around Australia. Find out more and apply here: streetlevelaustralia.org/urb…

An intimate little street in East Perth leading down to the river. We don't talk about the positive impact of the 1990s new urbanism movement on Perth ⁠— it seems to have been memory-holed in favour of large high rises in big parks. The irony is that the density is often similar. This should be the basis of urban design curriculums and held up as the prime example of urban-design excellence in Perth. Buildings come down (especially the ones we build now), streets are usually here to stay. Who wishes they’d bought into East Perth in the nineties?

Our laws and standards make the beautiful street on the left illegal to build today, and the sad place on the right the default. In no rational world should this be the case. There's much good work being done to improve our status quo, but we have so much more to do!
