I recently was contacted by Geoff Manaugh, the brains behind the Web site BLDGBLOG. Geoff is an architect who will be leading, in New York, an 8-week "design studio focusing on the spatial implications of quarantine." For part of their launch, Geoff and Nicole Twilley of Edible Geography interviewed me for their Web site. I warned them that I know almost nothing about architecture (much to my art-historian-mother's horror); they said that was okay. They weren't so much interested in talking about naves and columns so much as the various moral and psychological issues that come up in any quarantine attempt, hence their interest in The Last Town on Earth. It was cool talking with them, and I hope their project is going well. Their site is super-interesting, touching on many different topics, many of them flu-related at the moment. You can see the interview with me here.
