A U. of Calgary Professor Fights Bad Design With Slowness

The New York Times took a look at “slow design” in the most recent Thursday style section. The story mentions John Brown, a professor of architecture at the University of Calgary, who is a founder of the so-called Slow Home movement. On his Web site, Mr. Brown features a video about the movement, which seeks to counter thoughtless sprawl design that is “too big, too cheap, too boring, too wasteful, and too ugly.”
