Our capacity to adapt is contingent on a deeper knowledge, fluid imagination, thinking across disciplines, and working collaboratively. We begin by restoring long term visions in a short cycle world, renewing our collective values, and conserving our resources.

Our focus is on the interactions within (parts) and transactions between (whole) materially and metaphorically. Our analysis is time based and event based (placement and adaptation) Our approach is to interrogate the ecological economics of cooperating systems by addressing the short term benefits of co-evolution over the long term. As evolution unfolds it has no stake in concepts of past or future. Cultural restore, renew, revitalize We have worked with endangered cultures and subcultures with a mission executed in phases.

AASLH Small Museums Newsletter :: American Association for State and Local History By Jessica Potts, Program Director, Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum, King City, CA Programming for a small museum in a small community has its challenges. The Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum is located in a county park in King City, California. Our museum recently participated in a Community Engagement/Public Dimension assessment as part of the American Alliance of Museum’s Museum Assessment Program (MAP) which we found to be tremendously beneficial. A program suggestion that we received from our MAP evaluation was to investigate the possibility of offering a weekend reading program. The museum held our first Storytelling and Crafts program on the first weekend of September. Another benefit was the personal growth of our tour guide (and now storytelling program coordinator).

Dark Olive Green Wool Felt Fedora Wide Brim by HatsNCompany Here Is the Craziest Building in Harlem, if Not the Entire City: Diller Scofidio Design New Columbia Medical Building And you thought the High Line looked crazy. (Columbia) This gives a whole new meaning to “in the heights.” Columbia University Medical Center has just announced that Diller Scofidio + Renfro will be designing a new 14-story medical building on Haven Avenue between 171st and 172nd streets that will be home to high-tech class facilities for all four CUMC colleges as well as the biomedical program within Columbia University’s college of art and science. The university tapped DS+R, along with Gensler, to create a new landmark for the medical center, one that will be visible from both the George Washington Bridge and Riverside Park. This is DS+R’s latest project in the city, following on the huge successes of the High Line and Lincoln Center, as well as their early interior for Brasserie. “The new Medical and Graduate Education Building will be the social and academic anchor of the CUMC campus,” Elizabeth Diller said.
