Contributor: David Schaab(Quaddy)
My Name is David Andrew Micheal Tiberius Schaab. I am an Urban Design student at the College of Architecture and Planning: Indianapolis Center.
I am in love with Transit and Transit Oriented Development. I think people are the priority when designing, not cars, and I also believe people should always feel safe, no matter what.
In this blog I plan to expand both mine and your mind by the Urban Design topics discussed.
