be proud

The History Channel hosted a competition to engineering and design firms to design a city of the future. Taking cue from civilizations of the past, teams produced a view of their cities 100 years from now. Chicago's own UrbanLab won! Take a look at their sustainable take on how our city could work.

make us better

We all know Bruce Mau, but have we all read his manifesto? Each week, we'll highlight a point from the list and turn it back on ourselves (for better or worse).

#18 "STAY UP LATE. Strange things happen when you've gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you're separated from the rest of the world."
