The Mexico City “reader” was really interesting. Something that could be worked on for a very long time.
I do not really understand how the Los Angeles derive has anything to do with the complexity of the Mexico City research. Sure, you both used the derive as a starting point (as many student projects have) but drawing over google maps seems less like discovery. It seems strange to interject a less interesting project as a compliment to a complex one. It made more sense when I realized that you are re-posting your own google map tracing project. I wish I could get away with that in school.
except, that tracing of google map took 30 some years of living in los angeles starting with studying architecture here, and simultaneously learning, discovering and reflecting its personal history.... tracing its streets by car and by foot..
besides, one seems to be a beautiful book prepared by several people over time on mexico city and the other (mine) is a relatively short piece/performance prepared for a specific occasion spontaneously and by driving in so many hours during one day. mine is not a research project.
this is not about comparing the two. they are two different experiments and narratives. when newscasting, we usually give previous related area of interest in archinect and these two are related in their reference and event (postopolis) in which they are contextualized.
do you understand what you are looking at?
anyway, you keep tracing.
by he way, jwl with the comment about my piece is somebody who had previous issues with me.
here is this person who is a previous i hate orhan campaign starter!

i had nothing to do with cencoring this person if any (i don't even think he or she was cencored at all).
mind you, this person did shower me with insults (my age, who i am etc.)
stop this ugly tacticts to defame me or my work because i write the way i write and think.
trying to defame me has became a regular practice in archinect.
i don't need to defend my work but if you are going to criticise it, at least do it intelligently so i can thank you.
orhan, it never ceases to amaze me the lengths to which some people will go to criticize a work of someone else; i mean seriously, create a username, just to be critical? grow a pair already...
I was going to create a screenname called "I hate Ken Koense" but I think it is too many letters.
you could shorten it and just say; Ken's A Dick
