Text of the page (random words):
missing berkeley april 2 2010 leave a comment i love madison but there are those moments when very vivid brief and fleeting memories of our time in berkeley come to mind and i would give anything to be there again if only for a brief visit i think its the architectural character of the berkeley hills that i miss the most being able to walk through those amazing neighborhoods was definitely a highlight of the berkeley experience though madison may sometimes be referred to as the berkeley of the midwest the residential character of madison is a far cry from the seemingly endless meandering and often breath taking quality of the berkeley hills maybe its age maybe its fiscal maybe its the climate or maybe the grass is always greener but whatever the case the residential fabric of berkeley is something to aspire to to be fair there are certainly bits and pieces of madison s near west and near east sides that share some neighborhood quality in common with berkeley yet the biggest difference is not just the old berkeley but moreso in the way that newer modern architecture is folded into and around the city we certainly have our share of contemporary residences in madison but they re usually an anomaly and tend to stand out like a sore thumb which is often the goal consciously or otherwise what i respected most about the nouveau berkeley homes was their ability to seamlessly fit in with the fabric of the older homes even though the architectural style may be radically different from the neighboring context i also enjoyed the walkability of the berkeley hills and the fact that you could get lost there wandering up some steep curvy side street that opened into a tiny neighborhood park wandering through the park you notice a tiny staircase leading to another tier of the park with dappled light from a tree lined boulevard featuring a series of gorgeous houses perched overlooking a deep valley with glimpses of the bay between the trees on and on it goes while the residential character of berkeley wins big versus madison imho i personally like madison s downtown experience quite a bit more i won t compare telegraph to state but i never experienced a sense of urban center in berkeley the way i do in and around madison s capitol square there were smaller enclaves or sub centers in berkeley madison has those as well but no singular identifiable zone you could point to and say this is berkeley the way you can in downtown madison i m not doing a very good job articulating this with words and it might simply be that i didn t visit the right places but i find madison s downtown much more pleasant and identifiable more of a sense of singular place than i ever discovered in berkeley i let my rambling thoughts turn what should have been a simple post into this meandering comparison but all i meant to say was even though it may be unseasonably warm 75 and sunny here in madison a lanesplitter pizza a tall glass of jupiter ipa and a walk through the berkeley hills would sure hit the spot right about now posted in uncategorized tags architecture berkeley california design downtown home house madison residential wisconsin west berkeley may 23

comment the close knit and often stark juxtaposition of industry commercial and residential really makes the west side of berkeley a site to behold unlike anything i ve ever seen within a reasonable walking distance from where i work i can find at least 15 architecture firms an exquisite antiques import shop a greasy machine shop with engine blocks piled 5 or 6 high a saki factory a steel foundry high tech business low tech businesses stinky businesses businesses that smell wonderful photovoltaic retailers landscape architects painters sculptors 150 year old houses photography studios highest end retail indian food mexican food ok i m starting to see illustrative value in building a definitive list of the places within walking distance of my job so i m going to stop listing these for now

berkeley california fabric of berkeley jon brouchoud uc berkeley walking thousand oaks arlington area february 25 2007 1 comment this walk like all of our walks so far was a random and spontaneous path of discovery part of the testament to the character of this area is the fact that we can walk just about any direction into the hills and have a journey of discovery surprise and inspiration there is such a magnitude of visual density that each footstep could easily be accompanied by a new photograph of unique urban architectural and landscape character these photos aren t intended to be high quality in composition or resolution but are brief walk by shots often taken literally while walking so far we ve been seeking random destinations and trying to get lost our route twists and turns and we take short cuts pathways between buildings walkways cutting through parks etc these photos describe a 45 minute journey through the thousand oaks arlington area in the berkeley hills
