Sceenshot of scene from cartoon “Driving,” by Nate Theis.
This “charming” video is difficult to resist, and will resonate, perhaps, with drivers everywhere, especially in big cities. Although I myself am strikingly immune to the phenomenon of road rage, driving in Providence seems to grow increasingly akin to the miserable experience mocked in this video, “Driving,” by Nate Theis and broadcast by the curious website Kuriositas. It is a bit over three minutes long but I’ll warrant you’ll watch it over and over to examine the means by which Theis illustrates his drivers’ descent into the paved urban maelstrom. Enjoy!

About David Brussat
This blog was begun in 2009 as a feature of the Providence Journal, where I was on the editorial board and wrote a weekly column of architecture criticism for three decades. Architecture Here and There fights the style wars for classical architecture and against modern architecture, no holds barred.
History Press asked me to write and in August 2017 published my first book, "Lost Providence." I am now writing my second book.
My freelance writing on architecture and other topics addresses issues of design and culture locally and globally.
I am a member of the board of the New England chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, which bestowed an Arthur Ross Award on me in 2002.
I work from Providence, R.I., where I live with my wife Victoria, my son Billy and our cat Gato.

Testimonial: "Your work is so wonderful - you now enter my mind and write what I
would have written."
