"Being Mindful" And Becoming A "Harmony Worker" During Unsettling Times.Docx
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Let us be mindful of our individual and collective past in order to learn what works and does not work for our individual and collective Well Being.
Let us seek and find ways to experience Joy as a way "to be" in the present for our individual and collective Well Being.
And, let us create and implement Visions for evolving our consciousness in ways that can sustain our individual and collective Well Being.

Shining A Humanistic Light On Racism.Docx
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
On July 14, 2019, race-linked tweets, filled with racially charged negative rhetoric, began to emerge for a country, the United States, to grapple once more with its past, present, and future. The tweets were directed toward four duly elected women of color in Congress. In this light, the phenomenon of racism, yet again, was abruptly made more overt, rather than covert. Indeed, it is fair to say that the phenomenon of racism is often an "unconscious or veiled phenomenon" for some.

This paper uses building footprint data in a shrinking city, Baltimore, MD, in 1972 and 2010 to achieve two primary research objectives. The first is to understand the historical patterns of housing construction and demolition in selected row house neighborhoods in Baltimore between 1972 and 2010. The second is to understand changes in housing footprints, and associations between these changes and physical and socio-economic characteristics in selected neighborhoods. We find that housing losses and associated changes in building footprints have shown substantial variation across our study area and exhibit clustering within our study area. Moreover, while housing loss is strongly …

Intersections of food and the built environment make an imperative prospective for Environmental Design Research, the two areas between which design can support stronger allyships. This paper evaluates the past and present of this connection to initiate a synthesis on future possibilities of architecture-integrated ecological foodways. Food insecurity today is an acute global challenge, tightly intertwined with such other challenges as climate change, resource scarcity, and rapid urbanization. Project Drawdown 2017 reports the agriculture and food sectors posing largest negative bearings on climate change. Unsustainable practices in food production, distribution, waste, diet, and holistic grazing are responsible for around 8% of …

This paper explores the role of virtual mapping environments in analyzing people’s perception of spaces and their implications
in planning. We examine how people interpret Kevin Lynch’s “city imageability” in the digital age by asking two questions: (1)
how can we create mental images of city elements by using virtual versus physical environments? (2) What are the strengths
and weaknesses of each method? We studied sixty-eight mental maps—created by thirty-four participants—identifying five
factors for disagreements on city elements: scale, eye level, details, accuracy/timeliness, and sensory/movement. We conclude
by suggesting how practitioners can take a balanced approach for city imageability analysis.
