Download or read book Googie Redux written by Alan Hess and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that helped spark the retro craze for fifties architecture and introduced the term googie to the world is back! First published by Chronicle in 1986, this key survey of mid-century coffee shop and commercial architecture is still the standard work on the subject Googie Redux is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the classic and perennial top-selling book that rekindled the craze for 1950s coffee shop and commercial architecture. Long derided by critics as popular folly, the style - so named after John Lautner's eccentric Los Angeles coffee shop - was emblematic of Southern California's car-oriented architecture. By the time of the first edition's debut, these buildings were being demolished by the score. Alan Hess' 1985 Chronicle book did much not only to educate, legitimize, and popularize the style that characterized this endangered architecture, but it helped spark a resurgence of interest into midcentury modern design. Completely revised and significantly expanded in both text and images (some of them recently unearthed for this edition), this redesigned package features is still an entertaining and informative look at the rise, fall, and resurgence of the commercial architecture that changed the American landscape. Includes a greatly expanded guided tour of the iconic buildings in Southern California.

Download or read book Caltech s Architectural Heritage written by Romy Wyllie and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2000-06 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The campus of the California Institute of Technology was destined for architectural greatness when, in 1915, the university's visionary founder, astronomer George Ellery Hale, retained one of New York's preeminent architects, Bertram Goodhue, to devise a master plan for 22 acres of orange groves in what was then rural Pasadena. Goodhue's eclectic "planted patios and shaded portales, sheltering walls, and Persian pools" set the tone for the campus's illustrious architectural future. Throughout the first half of the century, Caltech's nearly continuous expansion would spawn such architectural jewels as the Athenaeum, a combination Italian villa and Spanish hacienda; Greene and Greene's bungalow-style student union; and the gardens of landscape architects Beatrix Ferrand and Florence Yoch, who thoughtfully mixed the campus's Mediterranean themes with its natural California setting. Well-researched and informative, this book details the organizational and architectural elements that have made Caltech a model for scientific institutions the world over. Rare photographs of lost and altered buildings portray an early Pasadena with ambitious plans to become a cultural mecca, while contemporary images reflect the Institute's continued dedication to a rich architectural future.

Download or read book Saving Democracy written by Kevin O'Leary and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving Democracy presents a bold yet practical plan for reinventing American democracy for the twenty-first century. The book diagnoses contemporary political ills as symptoms of corruption in our large republic and develops a new understanding of representative democracy. Building on the ideas of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, Saving Democracy shows how it is possible to combine the traditional town hall and the Internet to fashion a new theory of representative government that empowers citizens and bridges the enormous gap that now exists between the political elite and the average voter. Under the author's plan, in each of the nation's 435 congressional districts a local assembly of 100 citizens, selected by lot, would meet to discuss the major domestic and international issues. The role of this assembly would be deliberative and advisory and its views would constitute a second, more sophisticated and informed measure of public opinion than traditional public opinion polls. The next step would be the establishment of the People's House, which would hold actual legislative power.

Download or read book God and His Children written by George Hayes and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of God's mysterious activities on George Hayes's behalf. George has been beholden to God throughout his life. He continues to return God's love with a second book, resuming the exposition of God and the Western World that divulged the works of God as He spread Christianity worldwide. The focus here is an understanding of mankind's advance to high intelligence and a comparison of man's technologies to God's technologies. God's technologies include dark matter, dark energy, DNA, and RNA. Included in this discussion are more details on the creation and sustenance of the universe. An example of the information discussed is the interplay of dark matter and dark energy just prior to and during the Big Bang.A discussion of the climate change problems we are experiencing is presented, including a list of major cities worldwide that may be submerged by a minimum two-hundred-foot rise in sea level. There is a presentation of changes to Earth as Pangea broke up eventually forming the continents we know, and how life on Earth changed as God affected evolution to bring mammals upon Earth and then manipulated DNA to give rise to modern man. A discussion of mankind's religions is conducted. Important findings in the garden continent of Africa regarding distribution of languages are discussed as well as a finding that may lead to the original language used by God to converse with Adam and Eve as well as used by God to direct dark matter and dark energy when He spoke our universe into existence.In conclusion, firstly, God's works from before the Big Bang until the coming of Jesus Christ is summarized. Secondly, a briefing on God's march through time is displayed as the word of Jesus Christ is spread worldwide. Thirdly, the efforts are listed for avoidance of leaving a badly damaged Earth with our coasts and their infrastructures becoming submerged.There are two distinct audiences for whom George has developed both books. The first is the scientific community. The second audience is the average person living on Earth, and there may be passages that confuse them due to technical detail. You may want to skip those passages, and you can. You will still have an engrossing read. But if you reread them, you may develop a complete understanding of the marvels God Almighty has accomplished to bring Earth's human beings to the status we have reached today.

Download or read book Fluxus Administration written by Colby Chamberlain and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "George Maciunas is typically associated with the famous art collective Fluxus, of which he is often thought to have been the leader. In this book, critic and art historian Colby Chamberlain wants us to question two things: first, the idea that Fluxus was a "group" in any conventional sense, and second, that Maciunas was its "leader." Instead, Chamberlain shows us how Maciunas used the paper materials of bureaucracy in his art-cards, certificates, charts, files, and plans, among others-to subvert his own status as a "figurehead" of this collective and even as a biographical entity. Each of the book's chapters situates Maciunas's artistic practice in relation to a different domain: education, communication, production, housing, and health. We learn about his use of the postal service to make Fluxus into an international network; his manipulation of US copyright law to pursue a "Soviet" ideal of collective authorship; his intervention in Manhattan's zoning restrictions as founder and manager of the "Fluxhouse" artists' lofts in SoHo; and his performances protesting against normative ideals of health and family, focusing on his own, ultimately failed medical self-management. Fluxus Administration is not a biography, but it does delve more deeply than any other book into Maciunas's life and work, showing the lengths to which the artist himself went to disrupt any easy account of himself"--
