New Urbanism ep 13: Mobile Office
Kyle Minor, a San Francisco-based designer and artist, bought an industrial-grade double wide trailer from some fisherman with the intention of moving it onto a piece of land and living outside of the city. When he dragged it down to the end of a pier on San Francisco Bay next to his shop, he realized it worked better right where it was. Now he has sold it as an alternative office space to a group of prolific inventors.Stills courtesy of Karolirene at www.atelierkism.com and Kyle Minor at www.kyleminordesign.com.

New Urbanism ep 12: Pavement to Parks
The city of San Francisco and architecture collective, Rebar, transform a dangerous intersection in the Portero neighborhood into a temporary public park. The "Pavements to Parks" projects seek to temporarily reclaim unused swathes of asphalt and quickly and inexpensively turn them into new public plazas and parks. These spaces become urban laboratories where the City can work with the community to test the potential of the selected location to be permanently reclaimed as public open space. Music by: Handsome Furs.For more episodes in this series, visit: New Urbanism
