With fresh crises rocking the world daily, economic and political instability would seem to be our new growth industries. Against that backdrop, Temporary Structures, an exhibit focused on architecture, is well timed. It examines not only physical structures, but also the social, political, economic and aesthetic ideals those structures embody. Structures, of course, needn’t be physical; they can be ideologies or systems of commerce, like capitalism. Defined this way, Temporary Structures is an ambitious undertaking that promises a lot, delivers most of what it promises, and with notable shortcomings, hints at the contours of what an exhibition like this might assume were it to be recreated at a larger scale. Roughly half the show is devoted to its own highly mutable environs: the Walter and McBean Galleries. Curators Glen Helfand and Cydney M. The remainder of the show cuts closer to the show’s more serious intentions, but with mixed results.
A Cantina by Estudio Nômada at Cidade da Cultura de Galicia. The tree-like sculptures growing out of the tables in this canteen by Spanish architects Estudio Nômada are meant to remind diners of eating outdoors.
The studio drew on the culture and traditions of Galicia in north-west Spain to design the museum shop and canteen for Peter Eisenman's Cidade da Cultura de Galicia. The legs of the dining tables in the canteen area extend upwards to form stylised trees, which have an aluminium frame beneath the oak exterior and can incorporate additional lighting. "The idea behind the trees was to evoke, through a contemporary language, the gatherings of people during rural summer festivities," Enrique de Santiago of Estudio Nômada told Dezeen.
"To shelter from the sun these types of celebrations take place under the trees' shade along long tables, so we designed the tables by elongating their feet into branches.

Scroll to bottom for latest photos. Introduction In autumn 2004, we moved to a new home and Shujinkousen was dismantled for good. At some point we'll be remodeling the basement and I'll be able to start work on another big layout, but in the meantime I've been building a small 2-1/2' x 5' (762mm x 1524mm) layout I call, "Aidasen". While Shujinkousen was a large layout with a simple track plan (at least in schematic), Aidasen is a small but fairly complex layout.

The Connecticut Humanities Council (CHC) awarded Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History a Cultural Heritage Development grant of $75,250 in support of the museum's upcoming exhibit "Machu Picchu: Unveiling the Mystery of the Incas.
" The funding, designated to cover a significant portion of the exhibit's audiovisual production costs, is the third and by far the largest grant the CHC has given the museum in support of the Machu Picchu project. According to Peabody Director Richard L. Burger, "This grant is especially significant because it funds the construction of two important components of the exhibition: the Orientation Theatre and the large model of the site that serves as the focus of the Curator's Tour video. " Slated for a January 2003 opening, the exhibit is in part a reflection of the research and findings of Burger and archaeologist Lucy Salazar-Burger about the renowned archaeological site Machu Picchu.
