Assisted with the development of diagrams for her book “New Suburbanisms,” [Routledge, 2013] seeking to explore the design implications that emerge as cities and their suburb become more similar. Included were detailed 3d timeline diagrams of Uptown Houston and Chicago’s South Loop highlighting their development by decade since the 1950s. I also reworked her project proposal, “How the Strip Mall Can Save Suburbia,” to better represent the scale of the strip mall module and remade the final renderings. pp 129, 154, 155, 168, 169, 189, 190, 194
