Ecocinema in the City

Ecocinema in the City

In Ecocinema in the City Murray and Heumann argue that urban ecocinema both reveals and critiques visions of urban environmentalism. The book emphasizes the increasingly transformative power of nature in urban settings explored in both documentaries and fictional films such as Children Underground White Dog Hatari! and Lives Worth Living. The first two sections—Evolutionary Myths Under the City and Urban Eco-trauma—take more traditional ecocinema approaches and emphasize the city as a dangerous constructed space. The last two sections—Urban Nature and Interdependence and The Sustainable City—however bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature. Ecocinema in the City provides a space to explore these relationships revealing how ecocinema shows that both human and nonhuman nature can interact sustainably and thrive.

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Becoming an architect is a daunting task. Beyond the acquisition of new skills and procedures beginning designers face an entirely unfamiliar mode of knowledge: design thinking. In Diagramming the Big Idea Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher introduce the fundamentals of design thinking by illustrating how architects make and use diagrams to clarify their understanding of both specific architectural projects and universal principles of form and order. With accessible step-by-step procedures that interweave diagrams drawings and virtual models the authors demonstrate how to compose clear and revealing diagrams. Design thinking defines a method for engaging the world through observation and analysis. Beyond problem solving design is a search for possibilities. Mastering design thinking begins with learning the fundamentals of visual composition. It embraces the ability to synthesize deductive and imaginative reasoning combining both shrewd scrutiny and fevered speculation. Design diagrams make visible the abstractions that order the built environment. Premised upon the Beaux-Arts notion of the architectural parti Balmer and Swisher adopt the ‘Big Idea’ as a foil and as a suitcase to organize fundamentals of architectural composition. The goal of this book is to make explicit to students what they are learning why they are learning it and how to internalize such lessons toward their lifelong development as designers. | Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

The Age of Happy Problems

The Age of Happy Problems

In his first book of non-fiction originally published in 1962 Herbert Gold explores some not-so-happy problems confronting people in an age of mass destruction mass inertia mass everything. While acknowledging that we live in a time of utmost global significance-war on an enormous scale was a reality of the twentieth century and continues to threaten unadulterated evil has exhibited itself in grandiose proportions-Gold tackles issues and problems which are very much of significance to the individual: teaching writing love marriage divorce and death. In The Age of Happy Problems Gold takes the reader through a journey of eclectic characters situations and locales. Part I is a selection of essays entitled American Events. In The Age of Happy Problems we are presented with an analysis of the problems facing people in the middle of their lives and careers. How to Be an Artist's Wife explores the prospect of being married and remaining married to a temperamental and egotistical artist. Divorce as a Moral Act describes the termination of marriage as a means for renewal and the chance to start over again the search for love. The Bachelor's Dilemma evokes the decisions confronting the male of the big city. And A Dog in Brooklyn A Girl in Detroit: A Life Among the Humanities is a memoir on the paradoxes of teaching in a university. Part II is entitled American Places. The author examines in this section various American lifestyles. In Paris: Notes from La Vie de Boheme Gold describes Americans abroad why they decide to become expatriates and how they adapt to their new surroundings. In Greenwich Village: The Changing Village he writes about the importance of New York City's symbol of change experiment and nonconformity. Finally the author meditates on Death in Miami Beach offering a moving account of the relationship between death and the popular Florida city. Gold writes: How can I total it up? What is the map of the map? Well to begin with Plato was wrong. The life of contemplation is not sufficient. and for another thing Plato was right. He knew that men must learn to come together in the practice of intelligence and moral privilege. Gold's essays stemming from the author's own humanity are just as poignant and relevant today as they were when they were first published. The Age of Happy Problems is sure to captivate but perhaps most of all make the reader contemplate the importance of these issues for his or her own life.
