Modern Architecture | Real Virtual | Columbia University in the City of New York In architectural history, "modern" does not necessarily refer to a contemporaneous work, but to a particular style and ideology prevalent from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1970s. The architect and critic Sanford Kwinter goes as far as to use the term to describe particular themes in the intellectual life of ancient Greece. To him, modernism is a mode of thought and ontological position. The logic of modernist aesthetics and ideology become more clear when placed in their historical context. These intellectual underpinnings shaped the aesthetic program of high modernist architecture. It comes as no surprise that progressive modernists often took an antagonistic position to the societies they lived and worked in.

Lab ABSTRACT:QR Codes for Digital Nomads: QR_STENCILER and QR_HOBO_CODES are homebrew "infoviz graffiti" tools, intended for civic markup and in-situ information display. QR_STENCILER is a free, open-source, fully automated software utility that converts QR codes into vector-based stencil patterns suitable for laser cutting. The QR_STENCILER software was used to create the QR_HOBO_CODES, a collection of 100 stencil designs which, deployed in urban spaces, may be used to warn people about danger or clue them into good situations. Inspired by 19th Century "hobo symbols", these stencils can be understood as a covert markup scheme for urban spaces — providing directions, information, and warnings to digital nomads and other indigenterati. QR_STENCILER and QR_HOBO_CODES, a F.A.T. QR Hobo Code stencil in use. Closeup of a QR code lasercut in 1/8"-thick fiberboard. Examples of 19th- and 20th-Century "hobo signs". QR_STENCILER features.
abril | 2009 | ser-urbano | Página: 2 Dia de Tiradentes (21/04) Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, o Tiradentes, nasceu em Minas Gerais, em 1746. Aos nove 9 anos ficou órfão de mãe; aos 11, órfão de pai. Bem cedo começou a trabalhar como vendedor ambulante; mais tarde, tornou-se dentista – daí seu apelido -, depois ingressou na carreira militar e chegou ao posto de alferes (hoje segundo tenente). Naquela época, as forças opressoras dos colonizadores privilegiavam pessoas de origem portuguesa em detrimento dos brasileiros natos, que eram obrigados a pagar altos impostos. Um grupo de intelectuais se uniu então, em prol do fim da derrama e em favor da independência do Brasil; entre eles, estava Tiradentes. Um de seus companheiros, Joaquim Silvério dos Reis, denunciou o grupo; todos foram presos. Aos 21 de abril de 1792, Tiradentes foi enforcado no Rio de Janeiro, sob a acusação de alta traição. fonte: ilhado

How to become internet famous for $68 - Quartz Santiago Swallow may be one of the most famous people no one has heard of. His eyes fume from his Twitter profile: he is Hollywood-handsome with high cheekbones and dirty blond, collar-length hair. Next to his name is one of social media’s most prized possessions, Twitter’s blue “verified account” checkmark. Beneath it are numbers to make many in the online world jealous: Santiago Swallow has tens of thousands of followers. The tweets Swallow sends them are cryptic nuggets of wisdom that unroll like scrolls from digital fortune cookies: “Before you lose weight, find hope,” says one. Another: “To write is to live endlessly.” Swallow is a pure product of the Internet: a “speaker and thinker,” who specializes in “re-imagining self in the online age,” an apparent star of the prestigious TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference, and a hit at Austin’s annual art, technology and music event, South By South West (SXSW). This is what Santiago Swallow’s Twitter feed looked like.

Présentation “Pessac doit être un laboratoire...” (Henry Frugès à Le Corbusier) PESSAC revêt une importance capitale d’un point de vue historique, dans la mesure où une documentation abondante tirée des affaires personnelles de l’architecte (croquis, dessins, lettres, prospectus) nous permet d’analyser le processus selon lequel la théorie fut mise en pratique. En outre, une étude de l’architecte Philippe Boudon montre comment, depuis leur achèvement, les cinquante(-trois) logements ont été modifiés et adaptés aux besoins ou aux goûts des habitants et nous livre en somme l’histoire de la vie d’un projet. Enfin, la qualité esthétique de chaque logement comme de tout l’ensemble est assez remarquable pour que l’expérience de Pessac fasse figure d’événement. bien que fondées sur des modules aux dimensions standardisées engendrant une unité toute répétitive de formes et de volumes, les combinaisons obtenues présentent finalement une grande variété.
