Terremoto e ricostruzione. Parola a Cino Zucchi Scritto da Cino Zucchi | sabato, 3 settembre 2016 · 1 Agostino Renna, Piano per Monteruscello, Pozzuoli (Napoli) VITA DELLE FORME (ABITATE) Marsilio Ficino distingueva tra “Città di Pietra” e “Città di Uomini”; una settimana fa la prima, costruita dai secondi per proteggersi dalle inclemenze di Madre Natura, non ha saputo resistere alla violenza di quest’ultima e ha ucciso molti dei suoi stessi costruttori. Gibellina (Trapani), Il grande cretto di Alberto Burri EMERGENZA E “LUNGA DURATA” La constatazione di una relativa “lentezza” e “inerzia” del fatto architettonico e urbano è l’elemento culturalmente più importante nella revisione critica del primo funzionalismo avvenuta dal secondo dopoguerra ad oggi.

The Physics Classroom Starting With Nothing and Ending Up With Everything by Bruce Rawles Question: What's black and white and blinks in and out of existence 1044 (a lot) times per second? And is in every 1/1033 cubic centimeter of space (every teeny tiny bit)? Answer: Hey ... Everything! —W. Robynne McWayne from the book Radical Reality Okay, it's time to dig down into the mental archives of your high school geometry class. If your geometry teacher was typical, the subject of the infinitesimal point was probably glossed over quickly to usher you into more "important" theorems and pragmatic applications. But let's hit the virtual PAUSE button on the subject of the point for a while, and give it the attention it deserves. The Infinitesimal Point A pure, ideal, mathematically pristine and glittering point occupies no space. Wait just a picosecond. If so, or even if you did boggle on it a while, let's explore the dimensionless point a bit further ... so you'll get my point ... about the point. Now that could come in handy. Think about it. You are the entire universe.
The pros and cons of virtual working | Raconteur Over the last few years there has been a turning point – virtual working has become acceptable. Not that it hasn’t been technically possible for a while; it’s just that culture has changed. People understand better and they can see the economics adding up. The numbers are framed nicely in a recent KPMG report, The Virtual Workplace, by David Knight. Barriers are many, says the report, including a loss of management control, loss of employee cohesion and “plain tradition”, which means the virtual model is unlikely to work for everybody. The biggest saving is not in the overheads, it’s the productivity and utilisation – the optimisation of the resource Which is a shame as the benefits can be considerable. “What we’ve had to do is to virtualise recruitment, training and remote management,” he explains. Costs were a powerful determinant in setting the business up to work virtually, but by no means the only one. And it’s increasingly accepted that serious business happens from virtual teams.
Souto de Moura e il disegno “Bic/Bic/Bic – Bic Cristal – Nessuno disegna tanto per disegnare. Disegnare non è un hobby, disegnare, in Architettura, significa dover risolvere un problema. Gli architetti disegnano per dovere, non per piacere; come nella Scuola di Belle Arti, dove c’era un orario, un modello, un professore, e noi alunni chiusi tra i cavalletti. The Sacred Geometry of Sound Sacred Geometry and the Structure of Music Legend recounts how Orpheus was given a lyre by Apollo. By playing his lyre, Orpheus produced harmonies that joined all of Nature together in peace and joy. Inspired by this Orphic tradition of music and science, Pythagoras of Samos conducted perhaps the world's first physics experiment. By plucking strings of different lengths, Pythagoras discovered that sound vibrations naturally occurred in a sequence of whole tones or notes that repeat in a pattern of seven. Like the seven naturally occurring colors of the rainbow, the octave of seven tones — indeed, all of Creation — is a singing matrix of frequencies that can be experienced as color, sound, matter, and states of consciousness. This correlation of sound, matter, and consciousness is important. I believe that this matrix of Creation is waiting for us to sound the most harmonious vibrating chord — to sound the universe itself into a perfect, idealized form.

Solar power without solar cells: A hidden magnetic effect of light could make it possible A dramatic and surprising magnetic effect of light discovered by University of Michigan researchers could lead to solar power without traditional semiconductor-based solar cells. The researchers found a way to make an "optical battery," said Stephen Rand, a professor in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Physics and Applied Physics. In the process, they overturned a century-old tenet of physics. "You could stare at the equations of motion all day and you will not see this possibility. We've all been taught that this doesn't happen," said Rand, an author of a paper on the work published in the Journal of Applied Physics. Light has electric and magnetic components. "This could lead to a new kind of solar cell without semiconductors and without absorption to produce charge separation," Rand said. What makes this possible is a previously undetected brand of "optical rectification," says William Fisher, a doctoral student in applied physics.
