What is this blog about?

"Hello, my name is John. I'm a recovering architect."

I like all sorts of towns, cities and buildings, but what I design are Classical buildings and Traditional towns and cities. You can see some of them at www.massengale.com.

With Robert A.M. Stern I wrote a history of architecture and urbanism in the Progressive Era, New York 1900, Metropolitan Architecture and Urbanism 1890–1915 (Rizzoli, 1983) as well as an introduction to the history of suburbia before sprawl, The Anglo–American Suburb (St. Martin's Press, 1981). With Victor Dover, I am writing Street Design, The Art & Practice of Making Complete Streets (J. Wiley & Sons, 2013).

I'm a Board Member of the Congress for New Urbanism, the former Chair of CNU New York and a former Director of the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture and Federated Conservationists of Westchester County.

A co-founder of the New Urban and Traditional Architecture Councils.I was also a co-founder of the pro-urb list, a forum on the internet for an advanced discussion of New Urbanism. And in this blog you will find some postings from that list, along with other writings and clippings on architecture, urbanism, Classicism, Tradition, metaphysics and culture.

Sarapocalypse No? (was The Real 2012)

2012, the End Days, the Apocalypse — call it what you will, but be afraid, be very afraid:

Palin2012

We were warned.

New World Order Update: NBC had the original clip taken down, but here's a replacement ... and now they've taken down the replacement. I can't find the original at NBC.com, but Keith Olbermann ran it on his show, and that you can see on YouTube. The video-in-a-video starts at 1 minute 17 seconds.

PS: This one is apparently NOT a parody. http://bit.ly/NotAParody

PPS: And here's a comment from Jon Stewart:
