Hi Barn Burners,
Thank you for being one of the first supporters of this publication. I'm honored to share these stories with you. Each week I'll be sending one email only to members. This will go deeper into the subjects I'm covering and I'll share updates about the publication.
This Week's Update
If you haven't read the debut story, Squandered Skylines: The Future of Real Estate in a Post-Pandemic Society, I encourage you to read that first.
New Articles!
- How an idea from 1932 may be the answer for the future of work, cities, and happiness. This is an expansion article from Squandered Skylines. Here I go deeper about Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City vision and cover the Usonia home he built.
Recommended Reading / Listening
- 99% Invisible is a wonderful podcast about design elements that hide in plain sight. The team did a great episode on Usonia, which was Frank Lloyd Wright's answer to affordable, but elegant homes, that would cost $5,000— $90,000 in today's dollars. Listen here.
- The surprising way nostalgia can help us cope with the pandemic is a new article in National Geographic about the science of nostalgia and how it once was considered a psychological disorder.
Publication Updates
- I'm in the middle of researching and outlining the next feature story which will cover the nature of our beliefs. I can't wait to share it with you next month.
Talk soon,
Robert Maisano
