LAI Baltimore Member
Klaus Philipsen, FAIA
Writes two blogs, one Baltimore centric and one more general/national/international.
Examples include:
- Recent LAI Baltimore Program held on February 19 about vacant houses prompted a blog topic: Baltimore Vacant Houses: Finally Progress and a Viable Plan!
- And, he was invited by ULI to speak about the potential of a failing mall in Baltimore County to become a successful Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and appointed to a Redevelopment Authority which includes a 100-acre failing Mall, motivated him to outline what it takes to transform a mall into an attractive mixed-use, a town-center, or a TOD. Beyond the Mall: Creating Authentic Town-Centers and Transit Hubs
