Nice blog... I'm always interested in this topic, you've given me some more leads to research!
How do you think firms big and small can address this issue of 'Activist Architecture'?
It would be great to get Mahon's perspective on what it's like to be involved in such an active group for a long period of time. Eric, perhaps you could contact him for an interview?
Just in. Brian McMahon agreed to an interview. So stay tuned and read what fuels a community activist. Should be up by next week!
I've only met Brian McMahon once, but it was immediately clear to me that we are so very lucky to have him in St. Paul, especially in the Midway while the Central Corridor issue is so hot. Thanks, Brian, and thanks to you for the post.
