Scrivere Architettura. Instabilità del “genere” e trivellazione della “forma” | alienlog Antonello Da Messina. San Gerolamo nello studio. 1474 – 1475 Intervento proposto nel corso del convegno “Presente Teorico condizioni e possibilità per una teoria dell’architettura” Una premessaIo penso che l’architetto debba includere nel proprio patrimonio di conoscenze, oltre agli aspetti tecnico-deontologici e scientifici, un vettore “critico” in grado di porlo in modo non incerto al centro delle questioni fondamentali della disciplina, alfine di acquisire una complessiva consapevolezza dell’importanza politica e culturale che ricopre nella società. Io penso infatti che l’abiura, il sofferto disincanto, lo scetticismo rassegnato che ha contraddistinto il modo di guardare all’architettura e all’identità professionale ed intellettuale dell’architetto negli ultimi anni, derivi dall’aver estromesso volontariamente l’istanza culturale, teorico-critica, dalla nostra ottica complessiva.

Scaling of Brain Metabolism with a Fixed Energy Budget per Neuron: Implications for Neuronal Activity, Plasticity and Evolution Abstract It is usually considered that larger brains have larger neurons, which consume more energy individually, and are therefore accompanied by a larger number of glial cells per neuron. These notions, however, have never been tested. Based on glucose and oxygen metabolic rates in awake animals and their recently determined numbers of neurons, here I show that, contrary to the expected, the estimated glucose use per neuron is remarkably constant, varying only by 40% across the six species of rodents and primates (including humans).

Kabbalah 301.10: Enjoy the fruits of God's kingdom in Malkut - Fort Lauderdale new age The Tenth and Final Sefira on the Tree of Life is Malkut (“Kingdom”), located at the very bottom and Center of the Tree of Life. Malkut is not just the Planet Earth, which is the traditional Idea, but also the Material World, in every sense of the Word, and so very much more. The “Tenth Path” of the “Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom” reads as follows: The Tenth Path is the Magnificent Intelligence (Sekhel MitNotzetz ץצונתמ לכש), It Shall elevate Itself and sit on the Throne Of Understanding. “Understanding” is, of course, Binah, the Third Sefira, and the “Macroprosopus” is Keter. Now the heavens and the earth were completed and all their host And Elohim completed on the seventh day His work that He did, and He abstained on the seventh day from all His work that He did. And Elohim blessed the seventh day and He hallowed it, for thereon He abstained from all His work that Elohim created to do. “Created”, here, is again [BETH RESH ALEF]. A good Affirmation for Malkuth could be:

Sator Square The earliest datable square was found in the ruins of Pompeii which was buried in the ash of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Examples may be carved on stone tablets, or engraved into clay before firing as pottery. The exact translation, and its meaning, have been the subject of speculation with no clear consensus for either. Translation[edit] Sator (from sero=to sow) Sower, planter; founder, progenitor (usually divine); originator Arepo unknown, likely an invented proper name; its similarity with arrepo, from ad repo, 'I creep towards', may be coincidental Tenet (from teneo=to hold) holds, keeps; comprehends; possesses; masters; preserves Opera (a) work, care; aid, service, (an) effort/trouble Rotas (rota) wheel, rotate; (roto) (I) whirl around, revolve rotate; used in the Vulgate Psalms as a synonym for whirlwind and in Ezekiel as plain old wheels. One likely translation is "The farmer Arepo has [as] works wheels [a plough]"; that is, the farmer uses his plough as his form of work. Appearances[edit] [edit]
Kabbalah: Keter the crown of creation - Los Angeles kabbalah | Examiner.com We are all creators. Every moment represents our capacity to create. It is by nature of bringing each thought into being that this capacity for creation is demonstrated. The ability to create presupposes the ability to choose. Our entire capacity to experience this now is based upon our ability to choose each moment what thoughts will be coming to the forefront or consciousness. For LOCAL INFO on Kabbalah, Torah and a Local Events Calendar click here In Kabbalah we learn to distinguish these various states of mind. What this suggests is that whenever we experience something from nothing we are in that state of mind called Keter. Keter is called the crown of existence because each moment depends upon its existence in order to come to be. Therefore we can see why it makes sense to put this unifying principle of creation there at the beginning. It is called the crown of creation to give us the idea of rulership. The answer may be found in how we view our own psyche.
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. "It's a very odd interaction. 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. "It turns out that the magnetic field starts curving the electrons into a C-shape and they move forward a little each time," Fisher said.
Sacred Places: Sacred Geometry Courses in the history of art provide the student with an understanding of art and architecture in a cultural context. The student will be introduced to the means by which art can be critically observed, intelligently analyzed and knowledgeably discussed. ARTH 115, Survey of Art History I, and ARTH 116, Survey of Art History II, provide a survey of art from prehistoric times to the present and are the prerequisites to most upper level courses. Students considering majoring in art history should plan to complete ARTH 115 and ARTH 116 by the end of their sophomore year. For any student contemplating graduate study or a career in which a knowledge of the history of art is essential (for example, work in museums or galleries, and in auction houses), a reading knowledge of at least one of the following languages is strongly recommended: French, German, Italian or Spanish (depending on area of interest).
The Study of Kabbalah - QBL - Qabalah By Robert Zucker The Qabalah (Kabbalah) is one of the oldest, continuously studied and practiced philosophies in civilization. The Qabalah is the basis of almost all western mystical teachings. Kabbalah is the unwritten and written tradition of Judaic mysticism. For thousands of years, Jewish rabbis and their disciples developed and practiced this mystical and magical view of the universe. The word 'Qabalah' comes from the Hebrew word that means "tradition." The Hebrew letters Q, B and L spell Qa Ba Lah. I often spell it as Qabalah to retain the more ancient influence. The study of Kabbalah is based on virtual ideas, images and relationships from collective experiences in the real and spiritual worlds. Some Kabbalah groups only focus on the religious aspects of the Tree of Life. Either way, they depend on the original Jewish study of the Qabalah to achieve their goals. There is no one book on Kabbalah. Over the past 2,000 years, several handwritten Kabbalistic manuscripts began circulating.
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. Disegnare, in Architettura, è correre contro il tempo, prendere ciò che sta a portata di mano: una scatola di fiammiferi, un biglietto del tram, un pacchetto di sigarette rovesciato, i sacchetti per il mal d’aria che si trovano in aereo, oppure il nostro quaderno, che non deve avere carta di pregio. 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 ... 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. I've also found, to the delight of Ram Dass fans worldwide, that "here" appears to be quite portable. Think about it.

High Priest—How shall I know you to be a Royal Arch Mason? Captain—By Three Times Three. The Triple Tau is regarded as one of the defining symbols of Royal Arch Freemasonry. ‘The Triple Tau is also referred to within Royal Arch Masonry as”The Key.” The Tau (T) being the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. The Tau is often regarded as being a very early form of the cross, and is associated with St. The cross with the crosspiece at the top of the upright is known as the Cross of St. the Triple Tau, is a Trinity symbol. The origins of the letter Tav The Hebrew form of the word Tau, pronounced tav, suggests a marking or an etching. In an old Masonic Royal Arch lecture it is explained that persons acquitted of a crime, or returning unhurt from battle could use the T as a sign. Triple Tau – Three Taus or T and H?
