The Urban Umbrella
Big congrats to PennDesign ’s Young Hwan Choi, winner of NYC’s urbanSHED design competition… As a FIRST YEAR student (!), he’s grabbed international attention for his redesign of sidewalk scaffolds that protect pedestrians during construction. Architecture critic Inga Saffron describes this easily overlooked design dilemma and reveals the details of Young’s entry in this week’s Changing Skyline.

Brooklyn Industries – Now Open!
Joining the ranks of Barney’s CoOp, Ubiq, Diesel and a host of other high-end fashion retailers, Brooklyn Industries opened its doors just yesterday on our very own Walnut Street. Their new space is an eclectic mix of fixtures, staging, surfaces and merchandise that pleases the eye but still lets their lovely goods stand out. Just one level for the moment (the second floor gallery’s being populated as I type), BKI Philadelphia is promoting the new store by giving away thirteen bags in as many days… Sweet! Check out their Words from the Watertower for more info.

Unhappy Hipsters
Taking a moment to stray from Philly-centrism, I had to share this fantastic commentary on the styling of modern architectural publications… A personal irritant of mine for many reasons, not the least of which is the apparent egotism of so-called purists. Especially hilarious en masse with super-snarky captions too.
