Comrades! A new season has arrived, but the charrette goes year-round at Michael Sorkin Studio, Terreform, and UR (Urban Research). This March, we ran for charity, opened an exhibition, and published at a steady clip. Consider joining us at our studio party or catch your favorite UR author at one of their upcoming events.

Terreform's work with Chicago collaborators continues in our project South Side Stories. Read Michael Sorkin's Eleven Theses on the Obama Presidential Center in ASLA: The Dirt. 
Join the architects, designers, researchers, and editors of Terreform and Michael Sorkin Studio for an evening of drinks, informal conversation, and a behind the scenes look at recent and upcoming projects.

Free and open to the public. Space is limited, please register.

Urban Research (UR) is a book series devoted to cities and their futures. Our goal is to get the word out about solutions that exceed the reach of "official" planning and design and to encourage vigorous and wide-ranging debate. We hope to become a key resource for people and organizations engaged in progressive urban research, design, and critical advocacy. We invite the collaboration of all who share our interest in creating sustainable, beautiful, and just cities around the world.
Michael Sorkin, Editor in Chief

UR is published by Terreform, a nonprofit urban research and advocacy center founded in 2005.
