As the Roman Empire slowly disintegrated and faded away, some of its ideas remained in use, and some did not. The peculiar system of numbers, using the symbols I V X C D and M, sometimes in a very strange ordering, is now mainly used in clocks, and when writing dates in special circumstances. But the Roman influence on language is still very strong in Europe and other areas where European based languages are spoken, and will probably continue to persist for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, even though it was, and is, intangible. Such is the power of ideas, and the need for continuity of communication. Attempts to disrupt this continuity have seldom succeeded. An example was the introduction of new names for the months during the French revolution. France, like many other countries, still uses names with Norse and Roman origins in the distant past. Roman buildings were more obviously durable than words, though in fact more subject to decay: many remain to this day. Even now you can travel on roads that follow Roman alignments, apart from occasional bypasses. You can see great Roman buildings and mighty bridges, along with artistic creations such as statues and mosaics. Wherever the Romans went, they took their building methods with them.

Extractions: by Kirsten Wile Faculty And Students Of Architecture Schools At The U And At A University In Argentina Are Building Bridges Today For Joint Ventures Tomorrow Faculty and students of the U's Graduate School of Architecture assemble in front of a large projection screen and computer terminal for a video-conference with three U students studying in Argentina as part of the school's International Academic Exchange. Professors Robert Hermanson and Julio Bermudez, with architecture student Cecilia Parera and Graduate School Dean William Miller (l to r) on exchange in Santa Fe, Argentina. A deep appreciation for Latin culture and a five-inch binder packed with slides aren't all that U architecture professor Robert Hermanson brought back from his semester teaching in Argentina. He also carries with him a fresh perspective that will affect his future research, his class lectures, and his curriculum. "An experience like this enriches in a covert way," he says as he catalogues the unforgettable moments and observations that have led to his rethinking of architectural and educational norms. Hermanson is one of several U professors and students of the Graduate School of Architecture who have taken advantage of an International Program for Academic Exchange with one of Argentina's oldest universities, Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL). All architecture students at the U are encouraged to spend time studying overseas and exchanges to Japan and Germany are also available. But the Utah-UNL exchange is unique in that it also involves the exchange of faculty, resources, and knowledge between the two schools, enriching the diversity and breadth of the teaching and curricula at both.

Extractions: Faculty taking part in the discussion were asked to identify pressing issues that could be addressed by marshaling the intellectual and creative resources of the school. Prominent among the concerns they raised were the increasing disparity between rich and poor, continued degradation of the environment, and the growing homogenization of the world. The places where we live, work, and conduct business are becoming more and more alike and more and more unlikable. People are put off by their environment and feel powerless to change it, the Envision participants observed. The rise of heritage tourism is a sign that we are desperate to find places of enduring value. Other specific issues that surfaced in the Envision discussion include the following: Sprawl and its effect on our quality of life The need to preserve and steward historic and cultural resources Imbalance in modes of transportation (i.e., over-dependence on automobiles) and its effect on the environment
Link Stations, SDLC, IEEE 802.2 In other countries, most companies use a protocol called X.25. They violatedthe architecture by playing games with the Link Station activity. http://pclt.cis.yale.edu/pclt/COMM/SDLC.HTM
Extractions: 2 Feb 1995 SNA depends on a reliable network. When any packet of data moves between nodes, it must be checked for errors and either accepted or retransmitted. Only after it has been accepted can it be sent on to the next node. To achieve this reliability, SNA depends on "connection oriented" protocols in the HDLC family. HDLC is an international standard developed in the 1970's to provide simple, reliable modem communications. Like all international standards, it has a very broad definition with something for everyone. The HDLC definition leaves open many choices. Communication can be full-duplex (where both computers can send data to each other at the same time) or half-duplex (where one computer sends and the other listens). When a sequence of data packets arrives and one is found to be in error, the receiver can either ask specifically for the one bad packet to be retransmitted, or it can ask for that packet and all the data that followed it to be retransmitted. IBM has a policy of refining any ambiguous international standard by adopting as an internal corporate standard one specific set of answers. When the standard requires that a system tolerate any of several responses to a situation, IBM will adopt a standard by which all IBM devices must generate one specific response, even though they may have to tolerate all valid responses from other devices produced by other vendors. The response to HDLC was to select specific options, clear up uncertainties, and generate a more precise subset of the large protocol that IBM named "

Semantics July 14, 2003 Comments (13) Subscribe Connecting people from diverse disciplines, countries and cultures is a strategic imperative, not only for AIfIA but for the information architecture community as a whole. Our competitive advantage derives from our very ability to build bridges and span networks. This argument alone should provide ample incentive for us to nurture an international perspective within the practice, but there are all sorts of idiosyncratic reasons why information architects should reach across borders. George Lakoff's book about categorization is required reading for any serious information architect. Consider this excerpt: The title of this book was inspired by the Australian aboriginal language Dyirbal, which has a category, balan , that actually includes women, fire, and dangerous things. It also includes birds that are not dangerous, as well as exceptional animals, such as the platypus, bandicoot, and echidna. The ways we categorize are rooted in language and culture. This creates unique challenges for information architects. For example, a web site targeted for a Japanese audience may require a completely different structure and organization than its German equivalent. Localization isn't limited to translation.
Extractions: (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Tokyo, Japan and Palo Alto, CA- January 19, 1999), Royal Philips Electronics, Sony Corporation, and Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced plans to collaborate in connecting the Home Audio-Video interoperability (HAVi TM architecture developed by eight major consumer electronics manufacturers with Sun's Jini TM technology. The companies aim to provide a solution that links HAVi compliant digital electronics appliances in the home to services provided by Jini technology over a network. Not only would this allow digital AV electronics appliances to access remote network services, such as a storage service for large video files, it would also allow users to remotely operate digital AV appliances and PCs across a Jini technology-based distributed network. For example, it will make it possible to access your home entertainment system to have a television program taped while you are away from home. Created by Grundig, Hitachi, Matsushita, Philips, Sony, Sharp, Thomson, and Toshiba, the HAVi specification defines software elements, application programming interfaces (APIs), and communication protocols that allow digital electronics products to be seamlessly interconnected and interoperated as a home entertainment network. HAVi offers plug-and-play connectivity, an intuitive user interface, and future-proof expandability.
Community Bridge - Artist Biography Built on paradox, his art is a fusion of art, architecture, community and history . that has used his work as a demonstration model in other countries. http://bridge.skyline.net/message/bio.html
Extractions: William M. Cochran is a professional public artist and trompe l'oeil master. His painted illusions are usually disguised as part of the streetscape and reveal multiple layers of meaning when discovered. While viewers often find themselves touching the work to determine if it is real, it is the poetic levels of meaning operating within the work that most often touch the viewers. He is a co-founder with his wife and partner Teresa of the non-profit organization Shared Vision: Public Art for Community Participation (www.sharedvision.org) . Shared Vision exists to demonstrate the power of participatory public art to engage the public on a mass scale as collaborators in the work, building a sense of ownership and connection. The goal is to empower the community as a whole to become participants in urban, social, cultural and economic regeneration. Built on paradox, his art is a fusion of art, architecture, community and history. Contemporary in flavor, it deeply rooted in historic memory. Although of museum quality, it is found most often in open public areas. The works are highly site-specific, but they speak to universal human themes. And though they represent a unique personal vision, their meaning is often the result of collaboration with the audience itself. Mr. Cochran has been responsible for public art project budgets of up to one million dollars and is experienced in the technical aspects of permanent mural making. In August of 2000 in Augsburg, Germany, he became the first American artist to be trained in the century-old German mural technique of Purkristalat, a silicate paint system developed in the nineteenth century with no known limits to its lifespan in exterior applications. The first use of Purkristalat in America occurred later that year when Mr. Cochran was commissioned for a project at the Athenaeum in Philadelphia.

The Netherlands is thus one of the world's most densely populated countries. But the Dutch have turned their crowded country into such a success that the worldâs planners and architects flock here to find out how. The Netherlands is best known for its tulips, windmills and clogs. And for its low altitude and vulnerability to flooding. Less well known is that it is the worldâs eighth largest exporter of goods and capital and the worldâs third largest exporter of food. Equally little known is that Dutch people have won 15 Nobel prizes: for chemistry, physics, medicine, economics and peace. The Dutch are major players in fields like science, the economy, the arts and sports â and their country is a beacon of forward-thinking social and cultural policy.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact the Netd@ys team: netdays@cec.eu.int Let me once more quote Ivo ANDRIC (Nobel Prize in Literature Laureate 1961), who is well known all over Europe for his novel The Bridge on the Drina (1945) in which he writes: ... this great stone bridge, a rare structure of unique beauty, such as many richer and busier towns do not possess (There are only two others such as this in the whole Empire, they used to say in old times) was the one real and permanent crossing in the whole middle und upper course of the Drina and an indispensanble link on the road between Bosnia and Serbia and further, beyond Serbia, with other parts of the Turkish Empire, all the way to Stambul. The town and its outskirts were only the settlements which always and inevitably grow up around an important centre of communications and on either side of great and important bridges. This novel - published at the end of WWII - is a literary cry for freedom and mutual understanding of people, a cry for peace and unity. Ivo ANDRIC may then not have thought of today's dimensions of the European peace and understanding, but his novel can stand as a symbol for our common effort to improve communication among people all over Europe and to bring them closer together.
