The division's collections comprehensively depict social, cultural, and political life in the United States during the last three centuries, with representative coverage of other countries from the fifteenth century onward. They are divided into the following categories: the general photograph collections, master photographs, fine prints, historical prints, posters, popular and applied graphic arts, and architectural and engineering design collections. A large part of the division's holdings consists of the general photograph collection. These photographs are largely documentary, and many have been grouped into "Lots" (collections of materials) according to subject, photographer, or collector. The following are some of the collections of special interest to folklife researchers: William A. Barnhilleveryday life in western North Carolina, 1914-17, with an emphasis on craft production

Extractions: SNOWBLIND LORI HERSBERGER April 12 June 8, 2003, Opening Friday, April 11th, 7 p.m. PRESS PREVIEW : Friday, April 11th, 11 a.m. In the Badischer Kunstverein, Lori Hersberger following an exhibition in the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel (2001) will now be making an ambitious show of his painterly virtuosity in the entire Bel Etage of the building. In a play between painting, light, and mirror installation, new works, supplemented by loans from private collections, will be filling the five exhibitions halls with overhead lighting, including the large hall nearly 1,700 square feet in size and over 26 feet high. In response to the recently rekindled interest in (particularly figurative) painting, Lori Hersberger asserts his position with a highly emotionally charged abstraction that lays or sprays paint both synthetically and subjectively onto the cold white wall of the canvas, that reflects the enduring desire for images in a calculated, yet impulsive way, and that sets their projections into scene with a hybrid form of extreme tension. The exhibition in the Badischer Kunstverein will be accompanied by a two-volume catalogue in cooperation with the Kunsthaus Zurich, which documents Hersberger's painting and video installations from the last ten years.

Thumbnails Photo Gallery Below is some information that was previously posted on the Village Heritage pages. The Village of Shorewood Hills stands along the shores of Lake Mendota and adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The land on which the village stands has had a long history. The vegetation was originally prairie and oak forest. Native Americans found the lake a good source of food and camped along its shores. White settlers came to the area when Madison was chosen as the capital of Wisconsin Territory in 1836. By the 1850s, much of what is now Shorewood Hills had been cleared for agriculture. As the City of Madison and the University of Wisconsin grew they expanded west and the area gradually urbanized. The Village of Shorewood Hills was founded in 1927 and remains a quiet enclave within the greater Madison area. Native American Presence Hundreds of years ago long-lost Native Americans came to this area and lived along the shores of Lake Mendota. As part of their culture, they constructed mounds in the shapes of animals and birds (effigy mounds), some of which still exist. The ones that are now part of the Blackhawk Country Club have been preserved and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The most famous effigy mound on the country club is the goose mound, which is one of the largest mounds in the state. It occupies a commanding site overlooking Lake Mendota.

Extractions: which carry the mark of the Creators hand. " - George Bernard Shaw, Famous British Author The Science of Architecture and Civil Construction was known in Ancient India as Sthapatya-Shastra. The word Sthapatya is derived from the root word Sthapana i.e. 'to establish'. The technique of arhitecture was both a science and an art, hence it is also known as Sthapatya-kala, the word Kala means an art. Panel at Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh in Central India From very early times the construction of temples, palaces, rest houses and other civil construction was undertaken by professional architects known as Sthapati. Even during the Vedic times, there exIsted professionals who specialised in the technique of constructing chariots and other heavy instruments of war. These professionals have been referred to in the Rig Veda as Rathakara which literally means 'chariot maker'. The excavations of the ruins at Mohenjodaro and Harrappa (today in Pakistan) proved the existence of a developed Urban civilisation in India. The indus valley civilization is dated around 3000 B.C. Thus since the last 5000 years. India has had an urban civilisation. The existence of an urban civilization presumes the existence of well devel oped techniques of architecture and construction.

http://www.bear.nl/bearpvtxt1.html

Extractions: The Netherlands has a program for the integration of PV modules in the building envelope. The aim of this program is to realise 250 MWp in PV-systems in the year 2010. Within this program the integration of PV modules in architecture has an important role. Here are the opportunities for architects. New technology and materials are an invitation for a new design. The aim of these activities is to achieve savings of 2 PJ on fossil fuels by the year 2010. This means, based on the technology of today, approx. 3.000.000 m2 of PV modules or 250 MWp has to be placed. Within this programme the integration of PV modules in architecture has an important role as well in new buildings as in existing buildings. The possibilities for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are better in the Netherlands than in other European countries. The Housing Law (1901) together with land politics has given the Dutch government instruments to regulate building. Because of the regulation there is a history in building (social) housing in projects. The central government plans the locations for new housing layouts. For the next 15 years plans are being made for approximately 800,000 houses.

Extractions: Environmental architecture HOME M uch of the Western ideal of perfect symmetry in architecture originated in the building style of the ancient Greeks. Buildings such as the Parthenon were constructed according to precise mathematical calculations, including what is known as the Golden Mean, or Golden Section. All cultures have traditions involving building or construction ceremonies and techniques that display reverence for the environment.

Extractions: Home PHOTOS The Lublin region is justly proud of being at the crossroads of European history while also being one of the most unspoilt areas of Poland. Traditional crafts, thatched houses, attractive unspoiled villages, ancient and historic monuments and a richly varied countryside provides the visitor with an intriguing insight into Poland's varied history as well as traditions. In the south of the Lublin region there are fertile Lublin uplands of the Roztocze area, cut by numerous ravines. In the north you can find the Masovia and Podlaskie lowlands covered by dense forests. Crisscrossing the region are numerous rivers of which the Vistula and Bug are the most notable. The Vistula Gorge between Kazimierz and Pulawy offers the visitor a wonderful opportunity to view the river at its scenic, whilst there are numerous other points of interest to be found, of which the section of the Bug close to the village of Serpelice should not be missed. The beautiful Poleski National Park to the north west of the region lies partly in the Leczna-Wlodawa Lake District. Several dozen lakes big and small have been preserved in their natural state offering both recreational opportunities and spectacular views. This area's varied scenary encompasses dense forests, widespread meadows and peat bogs with unusual preserved plants, a number of which can only be seen elsewhere in the nothern tundra of the Arctic Circle. The area is also an ornithologists' delight with a wide variety of birdlife.

http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/architecture/greekarch.htm

Extractions: The earliest buildings that were built in Greece , in the New Stone Age , are small houses or huts , and wooden walls around them for protection. Later there are bigger houses, and stone walls around the villages. By the Early Bronze Age , we find one bigger house in the middle of the village, and fancier, bigger stone walls. In the Late Bronze Age , under the influence of Western Asia , and the Minoans on Crete, there are palaces and big stone tombs , as well as paved roads and bridges, and dams (and more stone walls). During the Greek Dark Ages the palaces were burned, and the roads and bridges and dams mostly fell apart. But at the end of the Dark Ages, with the beginning of the Iron Age and the Archaic period in Greece, we see a new type of building: the temple for the gods . There are houses, but no more palaces. But roads and bridges and stone walls begin to be built again. In the Classical period , there are more temples , bigger and with new design ideas: the Parthenon is built in the 440's BC Democracy prevents the Greeks from building palaces or big tombs, because politically all men are supposed to be equal, and so it would look bad to have a big palace even if you could afford it. Instead, the Greeks build public buildings:

Extractions: It inspired the Turkish National Architecture movement, and even today its traces persist as one of the defining characteristics of those decades. Although Art Nouveau was at first regarded by the intellectuals o f th e time as a pretentious affectation imported from Europe, the movement had soon integrated with Turkey's own architectural tradition. Art Nouveau was first introduced to Istanbul by the Italian architect Raimondo d'Aronco, and his designs reveal that he drew freely on Byzantine and Ottoman decoration for his inspiration. D'Aronco made creative use of the forms and motifs of Islamic architecture to create modern buildings for the city. Art Nouveau architecture in Istanbul is characterised not only by structural forms, but in the motifs of stonework, woodwork, wrought iron and glass. To live in an Art Nouveau style building at that time was an expression of social status and modernism.

Extractions: I am going to concentrate my response on the importance of re-introducing design thinking in order to address social housing and this is really based on the proposals that were presented earlier today. In today, all creatures think social housing presents unlimited conditions for the disciplines - almost an existential crisis for architects. A moment when, confronted with the social economical, political way of the task of improving on the conditions, on the living conditions of the urban poor mostly they are urban, mostly they are poor. Architects feel overburden with this responsibility of coordination between the different tasks, and in the end they choose to give up this different aspects of their responsibility to other professions, to other disciplines. An Austrian architect by the name of Herman Check has quipped that when dealing with housing the skill for the architect is to know when to stop designing. I always found that to be symptomatic of the conditions of architecture confronting social housing, and I would like to address that symptom not because Herman Check´s representation of the reality is not correct but because that reality needs to be overcome. Historically, this difficulty in dealing with housing has not always been the case for architecture. Actually, many historians of modern architecture have argued that modern architecture begins when architects take on social housing as been part of the architectural task, switching from attention to institutions and monuments to look in at housing and therefore functionalism and all the discussion about modernity coming with social housing. With CIAM´s modern urban principles, housing becomes actually one of the four constitutive elements of the city along with circulation, recreation and work.

Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses related sites After the discovery of oil and the economic prosperity enjoyed by the country, there was an urgent need to build new buildings to meet the new demands of the people. Planning departments were established to work on planning cities and villages of the country. Municipalities and Departments of public works were focusing on building public buildings and housing developments. An era of rapid change of the built environment has started. Social and cultural changes that are taking place in the United Arab Emirates are affecting all aspects of life. People are depending on cars and other means of transportation which causes the cities to expand rapidly. This uncontrolled expansion is transforming major cities into metropolitan areas and changing the traditional life style into a modern one. The World Trade Center of Dubai After 1971 and the formation of the UAE, the government took the responsibility of providing houses for the citizens. The government constructed several public housing projects in different parts of the country. Houses were built and handed to citizens after completion of construction. The design of these houses was not suitable for the cultural values and needs of the inhabitants, especially Bedouins who were forced to settle in these projects. Some men married more than one woman, which doubled and tripled the number of inhabitants in the same dwelling. The owners had to make additions to the houses to satisfy their changing needs. The additions were informal according to the needs of each family.
