I recently received my Strip Appeal catalogue and am sincerely impressed with the quality and variety of designs.
The catalogue could be considered like an IKEA catalog of components for architects and planners.
The foreward is by architect and professor of architecture and urban design Ellen Dunham-Jones out of Georgia Tech.
Nice layout and design.
Overall, a very accessible book with progressive urban design solutions that I wish we had in our cities.
