Download or read book The Pop Up Generation written by and published by BIS Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together with Lotte van Gelder, Edelkoort selected over sixty works to be included in this book which deals with temporary, mobile or recyclable projects. A wide scale of different pop-up-themed projects are featured in the publication, labelled with thesymbols for hybrid, D.I.Y., temporary, mobile or a combination of the four. In addition to the colourful works, a number of essays by Ahmed El Hady, Carla Fernâandez, Bruce Sterling, Dr. Martine Naillon, Paola Antonelli, Hedwig Heinsman and Edelkoort herself tackle questions faced by today's generation of designers and thinkers. The pop-up theme is tackled from many angles in the short essays. We read about the pop-up mentality as being able to shift between the 2D and 3D world at ease, discussing a universe in which designers have become architects and fashion designers make films, where guerrilla actions seem to be by-products of the pop-up generation, becoming viral just as quickly as fading from existence.

Book Chips   Pop

Download or read book Chips Pop written by Robert Barnard and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By definition, this generation -- those born between the early sixties and late seventies -- has no "hard edges". It is a generation based on formative experiences and pivotal events rather than specific birthdates and cohort size. Essentially, you are a Nexus if you first felt the effects of the computer chip and global media at some point during your formative years. This means you could have encountered a PC for the first time in university or mastered Pong (the first video game) at the age of seven. You could be Nexus if you watched live CNN coverage of the Gulf War at high school, saw the space shuttle Challenger blow up in high school, or were the first kid in your neighbourhood with cable TV and a remote control." (p.17,18).

Book Pavilions  Pop Ups and Parasols

Download or read book Pavilions Pop Ups and Parasols written by Leon van Schaik and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world, a new architectural form is emerging. In public places a progressive architecture is being commissioned to promote open-ended, undetermined, lightly programmed or un-programmed interactions between people. This new phenomenon of architectural form – Pavilions, Pop-Ups and Parasols – is presaged by rapidly changing social relationships flowing from social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The nexus between real and virtual meeting is effectively being reinvented by innovative and creative architectural practices. People meet in new and responsive ways, architects meet their clients in new forums, knowledge is ‘met’ and achieved in new and interactive frameworks. It contrasts bluntly with the commercially structured interactions of shopping malls and the increasingly deliberate interactions available in cultural institutions. These experiences imbue a new type of client; casually engaged, flocking, hacking, crowd funding and self-helping. Contributors include: Rob Bevan, Pia Ednie-Brown, Roan Ching-Yueh, Dan Hill, Martyn Hook, Minsuk Cho, Andrea Kahn, Felicity Scott, Akira Suzuki Contributing architects include: Alisa Andrasek/Biothing, Peter Cook/CRAB studio, CJ Lim/Studio 8, Tom Holbrook/5th Studio, Matthias Hollwich/HWKN, Mamou-Mani Architects, Benedetta Tagliabue/EMBT

Book Generation A

    Book Details:
  • Author : Douglas Coupland
  • Publisher : Random House Canada
  • Release : 2009-09-01
  • ISBN : 0307372790
  • Pages : 322 pages

Download or read book Generation A written by Douglas Coupland and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Now you young twerps want a new name for your generation? Probably not, you just want jobs, right? Well, the media do us all such tremendous favors when they call you Generation X, right? Two clicks from the very end of the alphabet. I hereby declare you Generation A, as much at the beginning of a series of astonishing triumphs and failures as Adam and Eve were so long ago.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Syracuse University commencement address May 8, 1994 Generation A is a brilliant, timely and very Couplandesque novel about honey bees and the world we may soon live in. Once again, Douglas Coupland captures the spirit of a generation. In the near future bees are extinct—until one autumn when five people are stung in different places around the world. This shared experience unites them in a way they never could have imagined. Generation A mirrors 1991’s Generation X. It explores new ways of looking at the act of reading and storytelling in a digital world. Like much of Coupland's writing, it occupies the perplexing hinterland between optimism about the future and everyday apocalyptic paranoia. Imaginative, inventive and fantastically entertaining, Generation A demonstrates Coupland's unforgettable verve.

Book The Bakersfield Sound

  • Author : Robert E. Price
  • Publisher : Heyday.ORIM
  • Release : 2018-03-06
  • ISBN : 1597144371
  • Pages : 309 pages

Download or read book The Bakersfield Sound written by Robert E. Price and published by Heyday.ORIM. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An immersive look at the country music sub-genre, from its 1950s origins to its heyday to the twenty-first century. In California’s Central Valley, two thousand miles away from Nashville’s country hit machine, the hard edge of the Bakersfield Sound transformed American music during the later half of the twentieth century. Fueled by the steel twang of electric guitars, explosive drumming, and powerfully aching lyrics, the Sound transformed hard times and desperation into chart-toppers. It vaulted displaced Oklahomans like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to stardom, and even today the Sound’s influence on country music is still widely felt. In this fascinating book, veteran journalist Robert E. Prince traces the Bakersfield Sound’s roots from Dust Bowl and World War II migrations through the heyday of Owens, Haggard, and Hee Haw, and into the twenty-first century. Outlaw country demands good storytelling, and Price obliges; to fully understand the Sound and its musicians we dip into honky-tonks, dives, and radio stations playing the songs of sun-parched days spent on oil rigs and in cotton fields, the melodies of hardship and kinship, a soundtrack for dancing and brawling. In other words, The Bakersfield Sound immerses us in the unique cultural convergence that gave rise to a visceral and distinctly California country music. Praise for The Bakersfield Sound “A savvy blend of personal anecdotes and broader historical narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews “This book all but reads itself. Price’s sense of history, his command of facts, his sense of humor, his sensitivity to class and race, and a love of the music—it’s all here.” —Greil Marcus

Book Generation Friends

Download or read book Generation Friends written by Saul Austerlitz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by the New Yorker and New York magazine, Saul Austerlitz’s fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Friends, is, according to Newsweek, the “next best thing” to a cast reunion. In September 1994, six friends sat down in their favorite coffee shop and began bantering about sex, relationships, jobs, and just about everything else. A quarter of a century later, new fans are still finding their way into the lives of Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe, and thanks to the show’s immensely talented creators, its intimate understanding of its youthful audience, and its reign during network television’s last moment of dominance, Friends has become the most influential and beloved show of its era. Friends has never gone on a break, and this is the story of how it all happened. Noted pop culture historian Saul Austerlitz utilizes exclusive interviews with creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman, executive producer Kevin Bright, director James Burrows, and many other producers, writers, and cast members to tell the story of Friends’ creation, its remarkable decade-long run, and its astonishing Netflix-fueled afterlife. Readers will go behind the scenes to hear from the people who were present as the show was developed and cast, written and filmed. There will be talk of trivia contests, prom videos, trips to London, Super Bowls, lesbian weddings, wildly popular hairstyles, superstar cameos, mad dashes to the airport, and million-dollar contracts. They’ll also discover surprising details—that Monica and Joey were the show’s original romantic couple, how Danielle Steel probably saved Jennifer Aniston’s career, and why Friends is still so popular that if it was a new show, its over-the-air broadcast reruns would be the ninth-highest-rated program on TV. The show that defined the 1990s has a legacy that has endured beyond anyone's wildest expectations. And in this hilarious, informative, and entertaining book, readers will now understand why.
