Margaret Crawford is an Architecture and Urban Design Professor at Berkeley College of Environmental Design and runs the Urban Design program there. The Master's Studio is running a major five-year project with community partners from rural areas in the Salinas Valley. In the teaching program of our architecture courses, we incorporated Margaret Crawford's article "Blurring the Boundaries: Public Space and Private Life" from the book Everyday Urbanism, which she co-edited with John Kaliski and John Chase. The book invited us to explore the discourse developed within it by conducting our own experiments. We worked with our students to develop an awareness of everyday life and how it relates to our urban space. This issue on Bottom-up Urbanisms seemed like the correct place to host her ideas. In the way she expresses herself, and through the everyday examples she provides, Margaret Crawford conveys the continuing simplicity and validity of Everyday Urbanism that has continued until today and is seeping into our Latin American contexts.
