Book excerpt: Could we have gotten it all wrong? CASEY MACK is a thirty-six year-old, six foot, sun drenched blonde, surfer looking dude with an Indiana Jones fetish. A Florida boy, the son of two College academics, Casey burned out of his Doctorate program and set about the world to join various archeological projects. He was supported financially by his parents, who fully supported his endeavors, despite his engaging into a lifestyle that had cost his brother his life. That was then. Now his mother has fallen ill with a terminal disease and there is neither the time nor resources to support Casey in his world travels. He has been called home and needs a job. Light on creds, he is fortunate to find a job as County Archeologist for an under populated impoverished county in Central Florida. .Bellweather County was once part of the sugar boom. Sugar is now long gone, and reclamation projects turn the once sugar fields back to watershed and glades. Still, the county needs a archeologist to satisfy the requirements of a massive land gift made to the county by its namesake, Townsend Bellweather. Casey takes the job and sets up shop in a chain link enclosed office in the basement of the courthouse. What seems to be a do-nothing job in a deathly boring community turns out to be anything but. Bellweather is dirt poor by any standards. The only going concern inside the county is the Indian Casino and Hotel, which shares none of its good fortune outside of the Tribal Reservation and their citizens., But relief has come in the form of DVH Development. The company has secured an 18,000 acre tract of land within the county, and plans to create a combination New Age theme park for wealthy clients, and a high end housing community. County citizens have pinned their hopes for a better life on this project.Casey's predecessor held the job for over 60 years with no drama. Within his first twenty-four hours on the job, Casey is deep into conflict and adventure that will make insignificant all his other adventures combined. In the next few dizzying days, forces will press him towards discovery, and those discoveries will bring romance, mortal danger, and change the very nature history of the human experience.

Download or read book Inflection 04 Permanence written by Elizabeth Diller and published by AADR – Art Architecture Design Research. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Permanence as an architectural concept is no longer restricted to the Vitruvian virtue of firmitas. To think about it in this sense today produces a schism: absolutism in a world of relativism. The fourth volume of Inflection extrapolates the permanent and the temporary not as opposing forces, but as a spectrum to be navigated at each stage of architecture's unfolding narrative. Through each of the responses presented in this year's edition, Permanence provides a critical voice as architecture and design continually seek an enduring foothold in an inherently evolving landscape, physical or otherwise. Inflection is a student-run design journal based at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne. Born from a desire to stimulate debate and generate ideas, it advocates the discursive voice of students, academics and practitioners. Founded in 2013, Inflection is a home for provocative writing—a place to share ideas and engage with contemporary discourse.
Download or read book The Urbanism of Metabolism written by Raffaele Pernice and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book explores and promotes reflection on how the lessons of Metabolism experience can inform current debate on city making and future practice in architectural design and urban planning. More than sixty years after the Metabolist manifesto was published, the author’s original contributions highlight the persistent links between present and past that can help to re-imagine new urban futures as well as the design of innovative intra-urban relationships and spaces. The essays are written by experienced scholars and renowned academics from Japan, Australia, Europe, South Korea and the United States and expose Metabolism’s special merits in promoting new urban models and evaluate the current legacy of its architectural projects and urban design lessons. They offer a critical, intellectual, and up-to-date account of the Metabolism projects and ideas with regard to the current evolution of architectural and urbanism discourse in a global context. The collection of cross-disciplinary contributions in this volume will be of great interest to architects, architectural and urban historians, as well as academics, scholars and students in built environment disciplines and Japanese cultural studies.

Download or read book Bracket 3 written by Lola Sheppard and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bracket [at Extremes] includes critical articles and unpublished design projects that investigate architecture, infrastructure and technology as they operate in conditions of imbalance, negotiate tipping points and test limit states. We are conditioned, as designers of the built environment, towards the organization of people, programs and movement. Indeed the history of modern urbanism, architecture and building science has been predicated on an anti-entropic notion of programmatic and social order. But are there scenarios in which a state of extremity or imbalance is productive? Bracket [at Extremes] seeks to understand what new spatial orders emerge in this liminal space. How might it be leveraged as an opportunity for invention? What are the limits of wilderness and control, of the natural and artificial, the real and the virtual? What new landscapes, networks, and urban models might emerge in the wake of destabilized economic, social and environmental conditions?
Download or read book The Annals of Tennessee to the End of the Eighteenth Century written by J. G. M. Ramsey and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this tome, physician James G.M. Ramsey assembled the most comprehensive account of Tennessee's history as a territory and fledgling state that we know of. Covering the years 1769 to 1800, these 743 pages address each of the major political and governmental episodes, with their principal participants, in the formative period of the Volunteer State. To produce this achievement, the author worked assiduously in the archives of Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. He was also an indefatigable collector of original documents relating to the founding of Tennessee, a number of which appear here in transcription or facsimile. Additionally, since the author was born in 1797, he was able to embellish the narrative with information collected from conversations with such founding fathers as James White, Charles McClung, and his maternal grandfather, John McKnitt Alexander, secretary of the Mecklenburg Convention of 1775.

Download or read book Unruly Heritage written by Bjørnar Julius Olsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage is almost univocally conceived of as valuable and good, something we care for and preserve for ourselves and future generations. Although traditionally associated with the unique and monumental, heritage has over the last decades been broadened in response to claims to incorporate more diverse and globally representative legacies. While such claims are of course welcome, they do not embrace the bulging unruly and obnoxious legacies that now haunt us; legacies that have become so conspicuously manifest that they are claimed as diagnostic of a new epoch, the Anthropocene. This book targets this exclusion. It claims that the current 'clash' between prevailing conceptions of heritage as something confined, wished for and thus worth saving, and the unruly legacies ignoring such work of purification, urges a reconsideration of strategies and rationales for how to 'deal with' heritage. Through multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from archaeology and heritage studies to philosophy and environmental politics, the contributions bring heritage into dialogue with a wide range of topics including industrialisation, material profusion, modernist architectural material, coastal reclamations, barbed wire, and naval mines. The result is a volume that profoundly challenges traditional understandings of heritage as an exclusive reserve of things selected and managed by us.
Download or read book Forest and the Trees written by Floyd McGowin and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Floyd McGowin Jr. was born into a prosperous family whose W. T. Smith Lumber Company dominated the small town of Chapman in Butler County in south Alabama. Family members achieved distinction in business, politics, the arts, and society. Floyd grew up, as he put it, during "periods of our region's and country's history that have encompassed momentous social, political, economic, and technological change. More took place in the last two-thirds of the 20th century along these lines than probably during any comparable period. My life has been full and interesting, and I have been privileged to know a lot of people and be involved in situations that illustrate change in both the physical aspects of life as well as the values that affect it." Thus while in that "era of my life between active employment and impotent geezerhood, where I see things with more clarity and truth than previously," he decided to write a memoir so that his grandson Peter and other young people "might better understand what is different and what is the same with regard to the past." His story unfolds in three parts: family, early education, and surroundings; Yale University and the Marine Corps; and his years in business. "It is my hope that this book will pay adequate tribute to those people and times that have formed mine," he wrote.
Download or read book Kenzo Tange and the Metabolist Movement written by Zhongjie Lin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid Japan’s political turbulence in 1960, seven architects and designers founded Metabolism to propagate radical ideas of urbanism. Kenzō Tange’s Plan for Tokyo 1960 further celebrated urban expansion as organic processes and pushed city design to an unprecedented scale. Metabolists’ visionary schemes of the city gave birth to revolutionary design paradigms, which reinvented the discourse of modern Japanese architecture and propelled it through the years of Economic Miracle to a global prominence. Their utopian concepts, which often envisaged the sea and the sky as human habitats of the future, reflected fundamental issues of cultural transformation and addressed environmental crises of the postindustrial society. This new edition expands Zhongjie Lin’s pathbreaking account on Tange and Metabolism centered at the intersection of urbanism and utopianism. The thorough historical survey, from Metabolism’s inauguration at the 1960 World Design Conference to the apex of the movement at Expo ’70 and further to the recent demolition of Nakagin Capsule Tower, leads to a definition of three Metabolist urban paradigms – megastructure, group form, and ruins – which continue to inspire experiments in architecture, city design, and conservation. Kenzō Tange and the Metabolist Movement is a key book for architectural and urban historians, architects, and all those interested in avant-garde design, Japanese architecture, and contemporary urbanism.
