Ruane Maurice review
Video: Lifer's Group - "The Real Deal."
A throwback to the heyday of HollywoodBASIC. Lyrics at http://ohhla.com/anonymous/lifers/group/realdeal.grp.txt
From M3W:

From Gold Dust Hype:
MP3: El-P Links w/ MC Nocando for "Time Won't Tell" Remix
When El-P celebrated the release of his instrumental beat odyssey Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3 at Los Angeles' Low End Theory, it felt like the closing of a circle: the jagged, metallic boom bap that El-P pioneered coming head to head with the best of the new school beat generation influenced by El's work. So it's only natural for Los Angeles' MC Nocando, Low End Theory's resident vocalist, to sound so at ease rhyming over El-P percussion. On the "Time Won't Tell" remix, Nocando paints a bleak but vivid picture that meshes perfectly with the swirling synths and break neck drums of the original track.

Shunda K's debut solo album The Most Wanted dropped worldwide last week and the latest single from the record, "My Light" (MP3) featuring the bombastic female UK rapper, Tan, is already causing a commotion. The shooting of the video for the album's second single "I'm Da Best" recently wrapped its Florida production and has now moved to Los Angeles for another week of shooting under the direction of Steven Andrew Garcia of The Masses (wearethemasses.com).
Garcia informs us that the clip "…will be featuring select wardrobe items from legendary fashion designer, Brian Lichtenberg (LINK) who has worked with some amazing artists like Peaches, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, MIA, and many others. Also, Trillon Galloway, who recently was featured in Michael Jackson's last video, 'Hold My Hand (feat. Akon)' will play one of our main bullies." See Lady Gaga wearing a Lichtenberg necklace in a still from her "Poker Face" video HERE.
Shunda K's "I'm Da Best" clip is a direct assault on the Westboro Baptist Church (WIKI) and concerns a young boy who is harassed, called "faggot" by his peers, faces even more tension at home and how, with the help of his faith and the support of his role models Shunda K and Shon B, he overcomes these obstacles to stand tall. The video is Shunda K's contribution to the ongoing "It Gets Better" Project (itgetsbetter.org) started by famed syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage as a place where young people who are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans can see how love and happiness can be a reality in their future.
To date, the project has received submissions from celebrities, organizations, activists, politicians and media personalities, including President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Adam Lambert, Anne Hathaway, Colin Farrell, Matthew Morrison of "Glee", Joe Jonas, Joel Madden, Ke$ha, Sarah Silverman, Tim Gunn, Ellen DeGeneres, and Suze Orman among many others. The video for "I'm Da Best" will debut in mid-January. More stills from the clip can viewed HERE.
Shunda K's debut solo album The Most Wanted arrives on the heels of two Shunda K mixtapes downloaded thousands of times each, US and Australian dates opening for electro superstar Peaches, a collab on the track and video for the Peaches song "Billionaire", and the NME naming Shunda K to its "Cool List" and earmarking The Most Wanted's first single "Here I Am To Save The World" as one of "10 Tracks You Need To Hear".

No former Patriot-turned-analyst has been more inclined to put his old team on blast than Rodney Harrison.
Unlike other former players who have been known to take it easy on their old team, you certainly can't say that Harrison has been reticent to call out his old club. The ex-New England safety, who currently works as an analyst for NBC Sports, has taken his share of shots at the Patriots the last few seasons -- in 2009, he told Tom Brady to "take off the skirt and put on some slacks" after the quarterback was seen complaining about a call. And last year, he said the New England secondary was "probably the worst secondary I've seen in the last decade."
But in town to be honored as part of "The Tradition" Wednesday night at the TD Garden, Harrison sounded a far more optimistic note about the Patriots and what they've done this offseason, saying they've gotten "better" and "younger" in free agency and the draft, and added there's only one reason they shouldn't be back in the Super Bowl in February 2013.
"I think they've addressed some needs across the board," Harrison said Wednesday night. "I think with Tom Brady really being that centerpiece you can build your team around and coach Belichick. Obviously with the great teaching that he and his staff does, I think they'll be fine. I think they're in tune to go back, as long as they don't allow complacency to kick in."
While there was some optimism, Harrison continued to hammer on the secondary, noting specifically that it's time for players like safety Patrick Chung and defensive back Devin McCourty to assert themselves as leaders.
"They have a lot of room on the defensive side where they can come out and get better," Harrison said. "They need to get better defensively, especially in the defensive backfield. Guys need to step up -- Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty. They need to step up. It's time for them not to think that they're young players. They need to make plays, and there's no reason this team should be ranked 32nd in the league (defensively)."
Harrison believes that when it comes to young players making the leap to full veteran status, one of the first things they have to show is consistency.
"I think as a young player, you have to focus on being consistent each and every day. I'm not saying that they're not, but being a pro, doing things right all the time and learning from last year. You have to get better. And I think as they get better, other people look around and say, 'These guys are really the leaders in the secondary,' and they'll catch on.
"When you're doing things right, when you're playing fast -- when you're doing things right all the time -- people want to be a part of that. And then, you start having success and you go out there and you really set the tone. When I played, I really wanted to go out there and hit somebody in the mouth. Set the tone. And I figured that everyone else would join, and that's what happened."
Harrison also gained a measure of notoriety when, in the days following New England's Super Bowl loss to the Giants, he got after Rob Gronkowski, lashing the tight end after he was pictured partying in the wake of the defeat. Harrison said Gronkowski "disrespected himself," and added that "if Willie McGinest, Tedy Bruschi, Larry Izzo, Richard Seymour or myself had been at that party, [Gronkowski] probably would have got his head rung."
Now, almost five months later, Harrison said he's got nothing but love for the big tight end, saying there's a "time and a place for everything," and adding that with his new contract, Gronkowski will be asked to be more of a leader in 2012.
"I love the kid. I love him," said Harrison. "Everyone jumped on me for criticizing him at the Super Bowl for dancing and having a good time after the incident kind of occurred. But I love the kid. I think he's a phenomenal player. My whole point was, there's a time and place for everything."
The 23-year-old Gronkowski signed a contract extension in the offseason that will net him roughly $55 million, a deal that includes a $13.17 million signing bonus. Harrison, who won a pair of Super Bowls with the Patriots, said that sort of contract means the Arizona product has to bring a different mindset to Gillette Stadium than the one he had his first two years in the league.
"He is a core guy. They paid him like he's a core guy," Harrison said. "He has to be a leader. He can no longer sit in the background.

I am beyond thrilled to be able to call iVillage my home, I am the Resident Organizing Expert. You can see more about me in my introductory post under Ask Jamie.
We are up and running and I can't wait to hear what project or room you are working on (or where you are stuck if that is the case)
Post away...
|Mon, 10-02-2006 - 3:39pm
Hi Jamie.....I thought I'd jump in over here with the perils of my kitchen island. I managed to get it cleared off last week AND kept it that way UNTIL....the weekend. It's back in shape now, but it's such a struggle with the comings and goings of 2 adults and 3 kids.
While I'm working on the island I'm also trying to develop a successful "landing" space in the laundry room. The thought is that it will help to keep the more public area of the kitchen clean.
The question is, am I just setting myself up for a disaster in the laundry room? And, is it ok to have a disaster someplace, or do people really keep everything in it's place all the time?
Thanks in advance for your input..........Kathleen
|Mon, 10-02-2006 - 7:25pm
Ah Kathleen, the kitchen island AKA the catch all, I know it well.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and therefore the place everyone and everything seems to end up.
The good news is that there is a solution!
First, let me remind you that it takes about 28 days to create a new habit or to break an old one. So whatever new system you put into place it will take a little while to stick- but once it does you are then off the hamster wheel of clean-messy-clean-messy.
Also if it helps to get the family on board blame it on me. Just say you heard this trick from this author lady and you want to try it. Sometimes family members are more receptive to expert advice rather than Mom's newest plan to get us to clean up.
And don't forget to involve them in the plan, if they suggest it they are invested in making it work.
OK here's what you do.
1. Find homes for all the stuff that keeps landing on the island. (If it's paper see my reply on that under Ask Jamie)
And I'm not sure the laundry room is the answer. Let me know what you've got landing there- my guess is you can use the backs of cabinet doors to hold stuff, and we'll find other creative solutions for stuff.
The laundry room is a recipe for disaster since it is so easy to say oh it's out of sight out of mind, I'll just put it there for now and somehow you never get back to it.
2. Put decorative stuff on the island for the next 28 days, so whenever anyone is tempted to put something down they are (hopefuly) reminded that it has a new home.
3. Try a new house rule (and let me preface this by saying this is coming from an organizing standpoint not a parenting or marriage counselor point of view so try it if you like it, leave it if you don't) Whenever something is left on the island you toss it in clutter jail. That simply means that when someone asks you for it they have to help you do something like an extra chore to bail it out. Yes this does work, usually after the very first time as long as you don't cave in.
So what's on the island? I'm guessing papers, water bottles, soccer socks, toys pieces, batteries, snacks and other goodies- am I right? -Jamie

Our Soccer Tournament was a SUCCESS!!!
Thank you Mr.Karch for leading us through our first ever Soccer Tournament at White Oak. The kids really enjoyed having something to look forward to, and had a great time!
What's the Buzz on Technology?
You may have seen some activity in and out of Room P-2. We have a new computer lab going into the room, which will allow an entire class to use a computer for whole class instruction (our previous lab only had 20 computers).
In addition to our new lab, each classroom will soon have AT LEAST one iPad tablet for use in their classroom. This tablet will allow teacher and students to project what they are doing onto the classroom projector/SMARTboard for all to view.
This is only a start to our new technology implementation at White Oak.

Charles Ebikeme interviews Dr. Bahi Takkouche of the University of Santiago de Compostela and reviews his research on smoking and allergies, which was published earlier this year in PLOS Medicine.
Dr. Takkouche's paper is included in the PLOS Clinical Immunology Collection, which is organized into broad categories in response to the commonly articulated request from our users that we provide more structured and efficient access to papers of interest in the PLOS corpus. The Collection has been updated today with two new sections on Immunodeficiency and Autoimmune Diseases.
Smoking is one of the most common factors when you think of allergens. Its link to a whole host of diseases within the atopic march – the cascade of allergies that starts with allergic dermatitis (such as eczema) during infancy, progresses to allergic rhinitis (for example hay fever) and food allergies, and finally exhibits with asthma – has been heavily researched. But unfortunately, no clear consensus exists as to the causes.
Research published in PLOS Medicine in March of 2014 took a wide look at the data from all published research on the theme of tobacco smoking and its relation to allergies. The sheer volume of amassed and analysed knowledge often makes it difficult for good recommendations to be made to practitioners on the risks involved with – let alone other researchers in the field wanting to see where their work fits in the landscape. A meta-analysis like this allows all studies to be assessed together, and gives a clearer picture of the research landscape.

text: http://www.abstracts2view.com/pas/view.php?nu=PAS10L1_1926&terms [2320.7] GI Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): An Autism Treatment Network StudyKent Williams, George J. Fuchs, Glenn Furuta, Margaret Marcon, Daniel L. Coury, Autism Treatment Network GI Committee. Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN; University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AK; University of Colorado at Denver, Denver, CO; Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH.BACKGROUND: The prevalence of GI symptoms in children and adolescents with ASD is uncertain, with studies reporting conflicting results.OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of GI symptoms as reported by parents in a large ASD registry, and to identify factors associated with GI symptoms in children with ASD.DESIGN/METHODS: Autism Treatment Network Registry enrolled 1420 children, age 2-18 years, with an ADOS-confirmed ASD diagnosis (autism, Asperger disorder, or PDD-NOS) at 15 sites in the US and Canada. Parents completed a GI symptom inventory tailored to the needs of nonverbal children, as well as Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Child Sleep Health Questionnaire (CSHQ) and Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) at time of enrollment.RESULTS: GI symptom data were available for 1185 children. Overall 45% of children were reported to have GI symptoms at time of enrollment. Of GI complaints that occurred within the 3 months prior to enrollment, abdominal pain was most common (59%) followed by constipation (51%), diarrhea (43%), other (40%), nausea (31%) and bloating (26%). Reports of GI symptoms increased with age, ranging from 39% in those under 5 years to 51% in those 7 years and older (p<0.0001). Children ages 1 to 5 years with GI symptoms had higher CBCL t-scores for total problems and for the emotionally reactive, anxious/depressed, somatic complaints, sleep problems, internalizing problems, affective problems, and anxiety problems subscales, all p<0.05. Children ages 6 to 18 years with GI symptoms had higher CBCL t-scores for total problems and for all subscales (p<0.01). Sleep problems occurred more frequently in children with than those without GI symptoms (70% versus 30%, p<0.0001). Children with GI symptoms had lower PedsQL scores (overall score and all five subscales, p<0.01) compared to children without GI problems. Presence of GI problems did not differ by gender, ASD subtype, race, or IQ.CONCLUSIONS: Parents of children with ASD report a high prevalence of GI symptoms in their children. This prevalence increases with age. GI complaints are significantly associated with behavioral abnormalities in all age groups. GI symptoms are also significantly associated with sleep disturbances and decreased health-related quality of life. Further definition is needed on the role and potential impact of treatment of GI disorders on behavior, sleep disturbance, and quality of life in children with ASD.

In August 2015, Hillsborough County Public Schools will open an addition at Lennard High School to provide space for new growth in the area and offer relief to the overcrowded East Bay High School.
The attendance boundaries of Brandon, East Bay, Lennard, Riverview, and Spoto high schools will be impacted in an effort to balance enrollment among the high schools. Some students currently assigned to East Bay and Riverview high schools are proposed to be reassigned to Brandon, Lennard, Riverview, and Spoto high schools.
Seniors (current juniors who will be seniors next year – class of 2016) will be allowed to remain at their current high school. These changes will be effective for the school year starting August 2015. The proposed high school boundary changes are not final until they go before the School Board for a vote in early 2015.
Two meetings will be held for the community to review the proposed high school boundary changes and provide input. The same information will be available at both meetings.
6 to 7:30 p.m. December 8, 2014
Riverview High School cafeteria, 11311 Boyette Rd., Riverview

Colour-by-number art, where you fill in a picture with predetermined, numbercoded colours, has been around forever. We've always thought it was... a little limiting. Klutz is about creativity and self-epression. Colour-by-numbers was about following the rules. Until now. Introducing Paper Stained Glass, creative colour-by-numbers so cool you hang them in the window. Our twenty colouring designs are printed on see-through vellum - with no numbers. Instead, each design is bound between two different number-coded colour schemes. Flip the design over the colour scheme you like better (the numbers will show through the vellum) and get colouring.

Amazing bracelets you squeeze out of a tube. When we first showed Glossy Bands to girls, it was clear we had a winner. They put the bracelets on and admired the colourful designs. They stretched the bracelets to take them off and watched as they shrank back to their original size. They put the bracelets back on, and that's when things got sticky. Clearly, we were not going to get these bracelets back. Glossy Bands start as a special, non-toic, acrylic paint. To make one, simply squeeze out dots of color following one of the patterns in the book. Then use the swirling stick to mix the colour into fancy designs. Once it's dry, peel your bracelet up and wrap it around your wrist. You've made your first Glossy Band: a beautiful, durable, completely wearable work of art. Chances are good that you've never seen anything quite like a Glossy Band. We think this book is going to change that. Once word gets around how easy it is to make these deliciously shiny, irresistibly stretchy bracelets, you're going to start seeing them everywhere.

The Los Angeles Lakers can ill-afford any more injuries. Kobe Bryant understands this. He played against the Washington Wizards Friday night despite back spasms that first arose after the Lakers' loss to the New York Knicks Thursday.
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN Los Angeles, Bryant played through the back spasms against the Knicks and did so last night against the Wizards. The spasms caused Bryant to wear a heating pad during timeouts and at halftime.
Regardless of the pain, Bryant continues to find a way to score. He put up a game-high 31 against the Knicks Thursday, and last night he dropped 30 on the Wizards. Bryant's offensive prowess, though, has not seemed to be of any help to the Lakers this season. Last night's win was just their second this season when Bryant scores 30 or more points.
Bryant has five NBA Championships under his belt he knows how to win. He knows his body. He will play through pain to help the team. However, the Lakers as a whole need to improve. They can lean on Bryant, but he can't do it all no matter how much he wants to.
Bryant's 29.3 points per game leads the league. However, he has almost been forced into scoring more points because of the state of the team. When the Lakers struggle, Bryant often takes the entire weight of those struggles, heaves it on his back, and tries to outshoot them. Most times it doesn't work. And it seems like it's not working this season.

Looking two solidify his name as one of the underground's premier beatmakers, one-half of Lone Catalysts displays his essence in less than fourteen tracks. Producer J. Rawls extends his musical mission beyond that of just The Lone Catalysts, enlisting some of the underground's favorite rookies to shine on his tracks.
Naturally, Rawls' partner J. Sands seems to work best to his production, adjusting well with his producer, as the Lone Catalysts have tightened up their sound for newer selections such as "Birds of a Feather" and "Lone Catalysts (Remix)". J-Live also sounds completely natural on "Great Live Caper", a track that is excellent visually as it is sonically. Indy favorites such as All Natural ("Cold Turkey"), The Unspoken Heard's Asheru ("Nommo") and half of the Polyrhythm Addicts, Apani B-Fly Emcee & Mr. Complex ("Far Away") also blend well with Rawls' jazzy grooves.
Some of the selections, while remaining good hearted, still remain a bit generic, as selections from Mass Influence , Rubix , Dose One , Fat Jon , and Holmskillit don't tend to break any new ground. Whether it's the fault of the producer, or the emcees, as to who didn' deliver, is arguable, as the blame can be put on either side for not shining quite as bright as some of the other songs. And while Rawls' idealistic sound of vibes and stuff is appreciated, he has yet to master the craft. His sample selections are continual evidence of a firm dedication to digging, but unlike some of his peers (Jay Dee , DJ Spinna , Hi-Tek), he has yet to develop a clearly recognizable signature style to call his own. Nevertheless, while only an early blueprint of what Rawls has to offer, it'shonest in nature, and it' only a matter of time before he has tweaked his style to perfection.

First Job Hunt: Does Size Matter?
Architecture students are constantly beset by questions concerning where they want to work, and for what type of firm – and these two questions often boil down to a decision concerning the size of the firm they want to work for. This article, originally posted on Arch Shortcuts thankfully makes this difficult choice a little easier. In it, blog Co-Founder Udit Goel reviews the pros and cons of big firms and small firms, including compensation, expected working hours, and responsibilities. Read the full article, after the break.
Infographic: What Do European Architects Actually Do?
Though the professional practice of architecture can be broadly defined, we often just focus on the design work in relation to the completed building, leaving behind other areas in which architects find more opportunities. In this infographic created by OMA in preparation for the Monditalia exhibition at the Venice Biennale, we see how the professional activities are distributed among these sub-areas such as planning, landscape design, interior design and feasibility studies–a relationship which can also allow us to extrapolate the outcomes and products that emerge from these countries.
Click the infographic to get a closer look and browse the projects we've published from the represented countries:
Merging Bamboo & Concrete for the Emerging World
Developed by Hannah Ahlblad, a recent graduate of Wellesley College cross-registered at MIT's School of Architecture + Planning, this article explores the potential of merging bamboo and concrete, harnessing the strengths of both materials to create a sustainable, durable and affordable material for use in developing countries. Hannah's project was created in conclusion to the semester-long emergent materials elective taught by Professor John E. Fernández, Director of MIT's Building Technology Program.
In the rapidly developing economies of East Asia and Latin America, urban architecture often seeks to combine the local heritage with the prestige of Western contemporary form and practices. The materials used in urban areas of these growing cities follow the steel, glass, and concrete technology used elsewhere. Usually, emerging materials research looks at the structural properties and applications of materials under scientific development. Less consideration has been given to ancient building materials and their interaction with today's engineering.
How a San Francisco Architect Reframes Design for the Blind
San Francisco architect Chris Downey is changing how design is employed for people with disabilities and redefining how architects can approach accessible design. In this article by Lamar Anderson on Curbed, we learn about how Downey has developed his own design methods and utilizes his rare skillset to draw attention to what architects often miss when designing for the public.
Architect Chris Downey is standing next to a pile of Sheetrock, balancing a white cane in the air like a tightrope walker's pole. The week before, construction had begun on a new office for the Independent Living Resource Center of San Francisco, or ILRC, a nonprofit community center for people with disabilities. Downey holds the cane up to approximate for the center's executive director, Jessie Lorenz, how the reception desk will jut out at an angle from a concrete column. Lorenz takes a step, and a pile of pipes on the floor clatters. "I don't know what's over there," says Downey. Lorenz giggles. "I hope I didn't break anything," she says. Lorenz regains her footing and touches the cane. "That makes sense," she says. "It's almost like we're funneling people into this part."
Venice Biennale 2014: Rem Koolhaas in Conversation with Charles Brooking
During the frenzied press preview of the Venice Biennale, the ArchDaily team received an unexpected and delightfully odd request. Rem Koolhaas, the subject of interviews with countless media outlets, was going to turn the tables. This time, he would be the one asking the questions. He wanted to show his appreciation for the work of Charles Brooking and The Brooking National Collection.
A collector from a young age, Charles Brooking was encouraged by a tutor to pursue his love of rescuing discarded building parents (elements of architecture, if you will). He founded the collection in 1966 and, in the process, has "chart[ed] the evolution of Britain's constructional elements over the last 500 years." Though Brooking's collection of approximately half a million items contains everything from fire grates to stairs and shoe-stoppers to postboxes, the OMA exhibition highlights the evolution of the window.
With the development of better-insulated alternatives, Brooking's collection of windows continues to grow. In fact, it is precisely this dialogue between old and new that is emphasized in the Windows room in the exhibition: Brooking's window collection graces a wall that surrounds current high-tech window-building machinery. As we (architects, clients, users) engage in a relentless pursuit of uniformed comfort, especially when it comes to architectural detailing, Koolhaas asked Brooking what he thought this meant for the "the very things we want to preserve." He asks Brooking, "Are you willing to suffer for the principle of authenticity and preservation?"
Watch Brooking and Koolhaas in conversation in the above video, and be sure to check out our coverage of the Elements of Architecture exhibition at the 2014 Venice Biennale.
Images Leaked of Major Development at Toronto's Union Station
Details have been leaked of a major new development on the Southern edge of downtown Toronto, just East of Union Station. The scheme, uncovered by UrbanToronto and its inquisitive users, involves the connection of sites on both sides of the railway tracks, and will include three towers and a pedestrian bridge featuring a park and retail space. It is understood that Wilkinson Eyre are the architects, after BD confirmed last week that they have recently won a major competition in Toronto.

Galvanizing a Legacy: FAT's Final Built Work is Unveiled
The scaffolding has come down, revealing the first glimpse of FAT's extraordinary A House For Essex. Designed in collaboration with British ceramic artist Grayson Perry and commissioned by Alain de Botton's alternative holiday rental project Living Architecture, the house will be the final built work that FAT complete. The bejewelled two bedroom dwelling, topped with a shimmering golden copper alloy roof and clad in glinting green and white tiles, sits in the rolling landscape of Essex – Charles Holland (FAT) and Perry's home county. Adorned with sculptures integrated into a wider narrative that spatially recounts the life of a fictional character called Julie, the barn-like shape, bold colours and decoration has not simply garnered widespread attention but has also captured people's curiosity.
Find out more about the project in an interview with the architect after the break.
Could Detroit's Most Remarkable Ruin Finally Have a Future?
Originally posted on the Huffington Post's Home Section as "How a Historic Movie Palace Became America's Most Unusual Parking Garage," this article tells of both the history and the possible future of the Michigan Theater – once one of Detroit's most opulent nights out, but now a crumbling (albeit oddly magnificent) parking garage. Emblematic of the city's rapid decline, it turns out the recently-purchased Michigan Theater may also be a symbol of the city's regeneration.
An inventor's workshop. A movie palace. A rock club. A car park. A skate park. The backdrop for Eminem videos. Now it's one of America's strangest parking garages, but a peek inside the Michigan Theatre reveals why it's remained a landmark — and has a unique story that explains a lot about the importance of preserving cities' historic architecture.
The former theater is attached to the Michigan Building, a partially occupied office tower, and might look familiar to some who have sought out urban decay photos. There's something radically visceral about cars parked in the garage under the crumbling but ornately decorated ceilings of the site that in its heyday hosted legends like the Marx Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Doris Day.

Unified Architectural Theory: Chapter 8
We will be publishing Nikos Salingaros' book, Unified Architectural Theory, in a series of installments, making it digitally, freely available for students and architects around the world. The following chapter outlines architecture's connection to biology, and how biology influences our perception of form. If you missed them, make sure to read the previous installments here.
The idea of a biological connection to architecture has been used in turn by traditional architects, modernists, postmodernists, deconstructivists, and naturally, the "organic form" architects. One might say that architecture's proposed link to biology is used to support any architectural style whatsoever. When it is applied so generally, then the biological connection loses its value, or at least becomes so confused as to be meaningless. Is there a way to clear up the resulting contradiction and confusion?
Fourteen Tower Proposals Unveiled for Controversial Brooklyn Bridge Park Development
New York City have released images of fourteen tower proposals as part of a controversial scheme to bring affordable housing to the 85 acre Brooklyn Bridge Park, originally designed by Michael van Valkenburgh and realised in 2004. The schemes, designed to be located on "two coveted development sites" on Pier 6, have been actively met with strong opposition from local community members. The park and surrounding area has seen a number of interesting recent regeneration proposals, from an 11,000ft² beach beneath the Brooklyn Bridge to a triangular pier proposed by BIG. Read on to see the proposals in detail, including those by Asymptote, Pelli Clarke Pelli, Davis Brody Bond, and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).
Animal Printheads, Biomimicry and More: How Nature Will Shape the Built Environment of the Future
Biomimicry is quickly emerging as one of the next architectural frontiers. New manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, coupled with the drive to make buildings more environmentally sustainable, have led to a wave of projects that are derived from natural phenomena or even constructed with biological materials. A recent example of this trend is "Hy-Fi," this summer's MoMA PS1 design that is constructed of organic and compostable eco-bricks. Other projects such as MIT Media Lab's Silk Pavilion have taken biological innovation a step further by actually using a biometric construction processes – around 6,500 silkworms wove the Silk Pavilion's membrane. "Animal Printheads," as Geoff Manaugh calls them in his article "Architecture-By-Bee and Other Animal Printheads," have already proven to be a viable part of the manufacturing process in art, and perhaps in the future, the built environment as well. But what happens when humans engineer animals to 3D print other materials?
AD Interviews: Rahul Mehrotra / RMA Architects
On his recent visit to Santiago, Chile we caught up with Rahul Mehrotra, founder of Mumbai-based RMA Architects and a professor of Urban Design and Planning at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. Mehrotra is known for his advocacy work in Mumbai and has carried out projects on a myriad of scales including interior design, architecture, urban design, conservation and planning. His projects include everything from a house on a tea plantation to a campus for NGO Magic Bus, the KMC Corporate Office in Hyderabad and housing for mahouts and their elephants. Mehrotra has also written and lectured extensively on architecture, conservation and urban planning in Mumbai and India.
"I think that the most important issue facing architects and architecture–generally, around the world–is the question of inequity," Mehrotra told us. "I think architecture is a deadly instrument in hardening the boundaries between the communities in society. It hardens thresholds very easily; we don't realize it." In the full interview, Mehrotra speaks more on inequity, what architecture means to him and how his practice and teaching inform each other.
A Photographic Journey Through Zollverein: Post-Industrial Landscape Turned Machine-Age Playground
Derelict urban landscapes and abandoned spaces have always attracted adventurous explorers, searching for a peek into the world of a fallen industrial dystopia. That desire can be fulfilled by a visit to the Zollverein complex in Essen, Germany: once Europe's largest coal mine, Zeche Zollverein was transformed over 25 years into an architectural paradise. Contributions by Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster and SANAA are included in the 100-hectare park; overwhelming in its complexity, the estate includes rusty pipes, colossal coal ovens and tall chimneys, inviting over 500,000 people per day to gain an insight into the golden age of European heavy-industry.
Join us for a photographic journey through this machine-age playground, after the break…
New Images Released of Krumbach, Austria's Famous Bus Stops

Hello Wood 2014 Invites Student Teams to 'Play With Balance'
Set in the bucolic fields of Csórompuszta in the Hungarian countryside, the annual Hello Wood camp was recently back for its fifth year. Every year, students have one week to create wooden installations under the instruction of specially selected tutors, each of whom provide an outline idea of a project in response to a theme. This time around the challenge from the organizers was to "play with balance," which generated ideas that investigated the balance between opposing concepts – but also generated a whole lot of play, too. See all 14 of the weird and wonderful results after the break.
Renzo Piano Explains How To Design the Perfect Museum
In the following article, originally published on Metropolis Magazine as "Q&A: Renzo Piano", Paul Clemence talks with the Italian master of museum design about the design process and philosophies that have brought him such tremendous success in the field – from sketching, to behaving with civility, to buildings that 'fly', Piano explains what makes the perfect museum.
There's a reason why Renzo Piano is known as the master of museum design. The architect has designed 25 of them, 14 in the US alone. Few architects understand as well as Piano—along with his practice, the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)—what board directors, curators, and even the visiting public needs and wants in a cultural institution like a museum. When I spoke with Donna de Salvo, chief curator of the Whitney Museum of American Art, whose new downtown digs were authored by RPBW she remarked on the how the curators' input was often incorporated into the final building design. "Our curators and the architects had an ongoing dialogue throughout the design of this building," de Salvo says. "The physical needs of the art were a priority for Renzo and his team, down to the most seemingly minute detail. Our curatorial voice was central to the discussion and has given us a terrifically dynamic building, a uniquely responsive array of spaces for art."
But what often goes unmentioned is how well Piano's buildings, particularly his museums, connect to their surroundings. The buildings not only perform well, but they integrate themselves into the life of the city, as if they have always been there. From Beaubourg to The New York Times Building, they fully embrace the space and energy of their urban contexts. Now, as two of his newest and very high-profile museum projects near completion—the renovation and expansion of the Harvard Art Museums (due to open this Fall) and the Whitney Museum of Art (expected to be in use by Spring 2015)—I had a chance to meet with Piano at his Meatpacking District office to talk about the creative process, criticisms, contemporary architecture, and "flying" buildings.
Top 300 US Architecture Firms
Architectural Record has released its annual list of the "Top 300 Architecture Firms" in the United States, based on architectural revenue from 2013. Gensler was the number one firm earning $883 million, with recent projects including Terminal 2 of Korea's Incheon International Airport and the Shanghai Tower, which is set to be the world's second tallest skyscraper. CH2M Hill and AECOM Technology Corp came in second and third, respectively, switching places from the previous year.

Shelf Life: 33 Book Recommendations From Architects & Designers
Architects often don't make time to read. Students and professionals alike will admit that the unread books on their shelves outnumber the ones they've read - which is unfortunate because literary contributions to the field of architecture, from Vitruvius to Le Corbusier, have shaped the way we build and use buildings for centuries. With this in mind, ArchitectureBoston polled their readers, asking them to share their favorite architecture and design titles, to compile a list of important architecture books you should set aside some time for. The list covers a wide range of subjects, from historical theory to the practicalities of starting a firm. See all thirty-three titles, after the break.
