Goethe once called architecture “a kind of petrified music.” And we’re not going to recommend that you repeat that quote to anyone, because you won’t have left this article with any clearer sense of what it means. You will, however, have left this piece with the requisite equipment — names and lingo to drop, trends to reference and debates to provoke — needed to approach architecture as a confident beginner. Why accumulate this kind of casual knowledge? The first step to approaching an architecture discussion with confidence is to learn some names to drop. Big name: Le Corbusier How established a name is this early 20th-century Swiss architect? Le Corbusier once declared, “A house is a machine for living in,” and therein lies both his approach to his craft and his ultimate legacy.
12 TIPS FOR Å SKRIVE BEDRE - ledernytt.no tirsdag den 21. januar 2014, 20:14 Ja, informasjonsflommen skyller over oss: Avisene hoper seg opp, tidsskriftene blir liggende på vent, juleromanen er ennå ulest når påskekrimen annonseres. Og elektroniske lesebrett har automatiserte distraksjoner – hvem klarer å fortsette lesningen når det plinger inn en ny e-post? Skribentene, både forfattere og forskere, prøver å seile mellom Skylla og Kharybdis, mellom taletrengthet og troverdighet – mellom å ha så mye på hjertet at de ikke får sagt noe som helst, og frykten for å skrive kort, så de trekker teksten til bunns med forbehold og fotnoter. Kanskje skulle man følge den store samfunnsforskeren Stein Rokkans humoristiske råd: Du må bestemme deg i ung alder om du vil lese eller skrive! Men dét valget er ikke lenger mulig: Der Gutenberg og trykkekunsten demokratiserte lesingen, har internett og tastaturet demokratisert skrivingen. Først: Hva vil du fortelle? Les noe som er godt skrevet før du setter deg til tastaturet.
Emancipation Proclamation - American Civil War Most Republicans had become convinced by 1862 that the war against a slaveholders’ rebellion must become a war against slavery itself, and they put increasing pressure on Lincoln to proclaim an emancipation policy. This would have comported with Lincoln’s personal convictions, but as president he felt compelled to balance these convictions against the danger of alienating half of the Union constituency. By the summer of 1862, however, it was clear that he risked alienating the Republican half of his constituency if he did not act against slavery. Moreover, the war was going badly for the Union. After a string of military victories in the early months of 1862, Northern armies suffered demoralizing reverses in July and August. By this time Lincoln had decided on an even more dramatic measure: a proclamation issued as commander in chief freeing all slaves in states waging war against the Union.
Kidipede - History Facts for Kids Top 100 Architecture Blogs | International Listings Blog Posted in Features on October 17, 2007 If Modernism was the twentieth-century architectural trend that developed a new way of thinking, then Urbanism appears to be the twenty-first century architectural mindset.

Featured Document: The Emancipation Proclamation The Emancipation Proclamation President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of Americans and fundamentally transformed the character of the war. From the first days of the Civil War, slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The original of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, is in the National Archives in Washington, DC. The document was bound with other proclamations in a large volume preserved for many years by the Department of State.
