This might come in handy to some of you, it has made life remarkably easier for me in recent months;
Steps involved;
1. navigate to a desired location in google maps
2. paste this script into the url bar + hit enter

Today I spoke with Apple [...]
The Street as platform – a street rendered in data.
November has been a busy month!
Along with Anthony Burke, Dan Hill and Mitchell Whitelaw, I’ve been running an intensive masterclass studio in the Master of Digital Architecture program at UTS.
