Could rebranding the dollar restore our faith in our economy? Far from being official, it's an interesting thought.

I actually posted a blog entry of him discussing his notebooks earlier this year. It's interesting to hear him talk about them and the inspiration he found through them in person.

Jane Merkel wanders through Robert Gatje's new book of public squares, which is almost as good as being there

Robert Gatje has written a book that makes you want to get on a plane and revisit every historic square you have ever seen—and then go to the ones you’ve missed in slightly out-of-the-way places like Rhodes, Nancy, and Halifax.
Wonderful colored maps, inspired by the Nolli Map of Rome, help you understand solid and void, distinguish parterres from pavement, grasp street patterns, and, in some cases, identify significant works of architecture. Clusters of photographs and occasional monochromatic historic prints enable you to experience the squares (which are rarely square) in elevation. Measurements let you sense the size and scale of each square described and compare them to one another. Brief, clear, and informative text provides just enough historical information for context.
