Let’s talk front porches and how they make a walkable street. In pre WW2 times before the advent of air conditioning and production housing developments most homes had porches for pragmatic reasons. These covered spaces offered cover from the summer sun with ventilation on multiple sides. Socially they provided a street facing outdoor room for less formal interactions. They were sized for habitable spaces not undersized appendages only for the sake of dressing up an elevation. Walking a street of homes with porches is an entire different experience than walking a street with front facing snout nose garages.

One of the joys of Architecture is sharing it with others. Finally got to revisit the @librarycongress with my family. If you have never been please go check it out you will not be disappointed.

The round things are beautiful
