Extractions: Spectrum, created by Greta Corke, boldly proposes a new concept of time keeping. Based on a series of colored vertical tubes instead of a series of numbers, the Spectrum displays noticeable chromatic changes as the day progresses. Aside from the obvious novelty factor, the timepiece also has a practicality that cleverly fuses form and function people with visual impairments who find reading analogue and digital systems difficult would greatly benefit from such a device. Carved into one of the many brick buildings on the lush, sprawling campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art is the dictum "A Life Without Beauty is Only Half Lived.” It is a fitting statement for an establishment that has been one of the most significant forces in modern American design and architecture.

Extractions: GOLD: THE FUTURE OF THE URBAN GLANCE. The final jurors selected the work: "Potential Architecture - Fragments and their reconstruction" by Frank Shih Her Wang of New York for the Gold prize. The entry is more than a design project, it is a surprising architectural strategy to enter into the "terrain vague" of the contemporary urban environment. It starts with a precise but undefined notation of the street, urban actions, and objects. The process is a series of procedures that work with fragmented images recovered from a Manhattan which are reconstructed to produce 24 hrs of architectural events in generic New York city block. This ambitious but errant and inaccurate process follows what the author calls an "archeological logic for the reconstruction of a fragmented skull."

Terminals A, B, C, D are really concourses A, B, C, D. Head to the center of the Airside Building. Descend the escalators to take the people mover to the Landside Building. Exit the security area, descend the escalator for baggage claim, rental cars and ground transportation. It typically takes 10 minutes to get from the plane to baggage claim. Departures/Security: There is one security check point for all departures. Security is generally fast, typically about 5-10 minutes, except for Monday mornings (30 minutes). It takes an additional 10 minutes to get from security to your gate. There is a preferred line for USAirways Preferred Customers. USAirways and Baggage Claim: Pittsburgh is a USAirways hub. Baggage for anyone in the back of the plane is lowest priority; those in the front get only slightly better service. Expect a 10 minute wait (or longer) for bags to arrive at baggage claim (in addition to the 10-15 minutes it takes you to get to baggage claim). Other airlines seem to provide faster service.

Extractions: Print Daniel Chester French was a leading figure in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century artistic circles in America and is generally regarded as one of the nation's most significant sculptors. French studied art in his native Massachusetts, where he received his earliest commissions, notably the Minute Man , in Concord. In the 1880s, he moved to New York City where he was commissioned to sculpt several significant works of public sculpture. French frequently worked closely with architects in the preparation of sculpture for public buildings. In New York, he worked with Charles McKim on Columbia's Alma Mater ; with Cass Gilbert for the design of the Four Continents , which is in front of the U.S. Custom House at Bowling Green; with James Brown Lord at the Appellate Division Courthouse; and with Bruce Price on the Richard Morris Hunt Memorial on Fifth Avenue. French's most famous work is his Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial. Heins and La Farge James Brown Lord Although Frederick Law Olmsted is known as the father of American landscape architecture, he received no formal training in the subject beyond a few science and engineering classes at Yale and a brief apprenticeship to a topographical engineer. It took him a long time to find his vocation. His many endeavors included writing antislavery tracts, practicing experimental farming techniques, chairing a commission to establish wilderness parks, and helping to found the precursor to the Red Cross. His interest in landscape architecture arose during travels in Europe after touring English landscape gardens, an experience recorded in his

http://www.vanalen.org/competitions/queens_plaza/projects_2.htm

Extractions: "Queens Plaza is a densely populated , densely layered system of exchange. It is a topology of networks in which communication and correspondence become essential to its operation. It functions primarily as an intensely regulated transportation hub, mediating between wildly differing modes, speeds, and scales. Mutable and scale-less, each surface contains, absorbs, and disseminates information. Together, these surfaces become both a landscape of interrelated movements and a complex matrix of the connective potentials of structural, programmatic, and topological qualities. These connections and overlaps between different parties, functions, locations and topologies enable a new, vital communication system. They are interwoven to create both effective flux and effective interaction. Holes and gaps in these surfaces, such as elevators and escalators, enable a system of short circuits to take place, enabling high-velocity informational junctures." Martha Merzig and John Riker are currently fifth-year BArch thesis students in the School of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Their entry was part of a competition studio advised by Galia Solomonoff of OpenOffice.

Extractions: [This article originally appeared in Data Base Newsletter (January/February, 1996), published by Database Research Group, Inc., of Boston, MA (617) 227-2583, Ronald G. Ross, Editor/Publisher. Reproduced electronically with permission.] In a way, I guess it's all Ted Codd's fault. The quirky genius who laid his gift, twinkling and elegant like some kind of jewel, before us in 1970 probably never thought he was giving rise to a whole generation of back-seat drivers and obsessive naggers. Yet here we are, still gnawing at an MIS management that avoids us but cannot seem to find the gumption to just tell us to go away. After all, writers and consultants all seem to agree that Data Administration is the key to competitive advantage, that messing with it would expose any business to chaos and annihilation. They can't all be wrongcan they? Data Administration is one of those professions, like advertising, that spends a considerable portion of its energy trying to prove to itself and to the world that it is doing something of value. When I first got into the field, the most popular topic at seminars and DAMA meetings was "How to Sell DA to Upper Management." Almost ten years later, I look in my latest local DAMA newsletter and read a notice from a long-time member asking for suggestions from other members. The question: "How do you prove DA contributes to the bottom line of the business? What kind of metrics show DA providing a positive return on investment?" We do not appear to have come very far in ten years. Yet during those same ten years, management has cheerfully embraced desktop computing, client-server architectures, just-in-time inventory control, and a host of other innovations more radical and transforming than DA. Why has this simple idea failed so completely to take hold?

http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/cen/president.htm

Extractions: The New York City Subway System Celebrates 100 Years By the late 1800s, New York City's promise and potential were constrained only by the lack of alacrity demonstrated by a mass transit system that was becoming somewhat frayed around the edges. Electric streetcars, omnibuses and steam-powered elevated trains could carry passengers only limited distances from the Lower Manhattan business center in anything like a reasonable time. Manhattan Island north of Greenwich Village was the suburbs and anything much farther out than that was country, certainly impractical for a regular commute. It was clear that in order to prevent the city's development from stalling, the pace of mass transit would have to be picked up considerably. Intriguing was an idea that had been first introduced at least three decades earlier - an under street railway that could speed beneath traffic, unaffected for the most part by weather conditions. Concrete plans for the construction of the subway, however, awaited the technology that would allow electric propulsion and multiple-unit operation.
