Disegno e Design - Design Lo spazio della Rotonda della Besana è sempre difficile per chiunque vi si misuri, l'architettura s'impone con forza. Questa mostra (la terza edizione dopo Roma e Shanghai) con il suo allestimento semplice, tradizionale vien da dire, con le pareti che reggono i disegni incorniciati, stretti l'uno all'altro, pochi oggetti poggiati su pedane bianche, qualche manifesto pubblicitario e ancor meno video, dialoga con lo spazio molto meglio di altre che hanno cercato di misurarsi con l'edificio e hanno preteso di annullarne la potenza. Questa modestia finisce, involontariamente, per interpretare persino il nuovo stile italiano: un po' il Presidente del Consiglio a tempo e un po' la crisi! Del resto è prodotta dalla Fondazione Valore Italia e dal Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico. Le pareti sono organizzate per temi, i principali del design italiano: dalla moda, all'arredo, dal cibo ai mezzi di trasporto alle invenzioni industriali. Disegno e Design.
A Conceit of Architects What do we call a gathering of Architects? When animals gather in groups, we refer to them by an array of elegant terms: a Flock of Birds, a Herd of Sheep, a Swarm of Bees, a Smack of Jellyfish, an Array of Hedgehogs, a Pack of Elephants, a Clan of Bears, a Troop of Chimpanzees, an Exultation of Lark, an Unkindness of Raven, a Murmuration of Starlings, a Building of Rooks, a Fling of Sandpipers, a Wreck of Seagulls, a Gulp of Swallows, a Mutation of Thrush, a Brace of Ducks, a Piteousness of Doves… Piteousness? damn, the birds get the really good ones… But, what do we call a collection of Architects? I think we need a name for it…. A Wandering of Architects A Happenstance of Architects A Coincidence of Architects A Cluster of Architects An Opposition of Architects A Diametric Opposition of Architects An Irony of Architects A Ludwig of Architects A Shrug of Architects An Ennui of Architects An Arrangement of Architects An Argument of Architects (via @anthonylingwood) A Hierarchy of Architects umm,
Human Thinking: Is it Rational or Creative? For a long time we have been taught to think in a specific way, and that is the rational way of thinking. Rational is a word that originated from the Latin rationalis. This way of thinking was, somehow, created mostly by Europeans, Rene Descartes being the most famous in the group, but actually this kind of thinking dates far back in the days when the Greeks gave birth to logic and coherent thoughts. Thinking Logically An example of a logical thought would be to say if A is B, and B is C, then C is A. Another would be, if Socrates was a human, and all human were beautiful, then Socrates was beautiful. The Brain Prefers Multi-dimensional Thinking Now, here’s the problem. With your brain let loose, you are actually dreaming. I always think of my brain as a Kubrick movie. Think in a Way that Suits You This makes a lot of people miserable, thinking they had acted on their emotions. However, you should think in a way that suits you and not force a different kind of thinking on yourself.
Instituto Art Déco Brasil, Rio de Janeiro This is the headquarters of the Instituto Art Déco Brasil near the Jardim Botânico in Rio de Janeiro. Cloud Computing: Architectural Limbo When abstraction becomes a distraction, cloud computing becomes a realm of architectural limbo… Cloud. It sounds so grand in NIST’s description; full of promises with respect to the ability to provision and manage resources without having to muck around in the trenches. Compute! Network! Storage! Differing slightly from the original meaning, in colloquial speech, "limbo" is any status where a person or project is held up, and nothing can be done until another action happens.-- Wikipedia The problem is, unfortunately, at the root of all architectures – the network. ARCHITECTURE and the NETWORK Architecturally, from a “stack” point of view, the network always resides at the bottom. upper layers of the stack, but rather that it is the foundation upon which all other layers are ultimately laid. A strong foundation is critical to the resilience of the rest of the architecture. That is not to say that cloud computing environments have weak foundations. Note the use of the term “approximation”.

ServiceArchitecturau (@patrickdupont) sur Twitter The Psychology of Creativity Looking for inspiration? Start with PsyBlog’s articles on the science of creativity. Here’s a deceptively simple question: if we all have the potential to be creative, why is it so hard? Part of the problem is that so little attention is paid to the psychological research on creativity. Creativity isn’t just for artists, we all need it—at home, in our relationships and, for many of us, at work. For many of us, then, our incomes rely on our creativity. Collected below are recent PsyBlog articles which explore how to be creative: Image credit: Faith Goble Rorschach test for Architects I am an Architect. Well that’s what I would have you believe. But am I? really? Ok, sure, I wear black.I have minimal hair. Well do we? Of course not. An Architectural Rorschach Test: A visual exploration of one’s true character; an exploration of the depths of one’s symmetry; a definitive realization of the desolate vastness that lies within the very essence of the Architectural psyche. So, just relax. Typical Architects response – “A balanced and nuanced representation of an unwavering gaze of disapproval.” Typical Architects response – “The tapered corner of a Brise Soleil, probably not a Le Corbusier, probably somewhere in Brazil”Stop exam immediately if subject displays any of these Architectural indicators – “Louis Kahn, Exeter Library, Repetition, Board-formed concrete, Cheese, desolation”Subject’s response – “ooo! Typical Architects response – “A sleeveless cable knit wool sweater with Deep V-neck with delicate scaffolding around it.”" Or, an aluminum raccoon.
Developing Creativity, Intuition, Rapid Cognition “You have to become very still and listen while your inner voice – the very essence of you – tells you who you are. You’ll know you’ve found it when every cell in your body practically vibrates; when you’re filled up by what you’re doing instead of being drained by it.” – Oprah Winfrey Many artists, as well as personal development writers and coaches extol the virtues of intuition for realizing our true selves, developing creative talents and making life decisions. How valid is intuition or intuitive thinking? A research study by University College London indicates you are more likely to perform well on a symbol discrimination task if “you do not think too hard and instead trust your instincts,” according to their press release article, Trusting your instincts leads you to the right answer. Dr Li Zhaoping, of the UCL Department of Psychology, said: “If our higher-level and lower-level cognitive processes are leading us to the same conclusions, there is no issue. Related posts:
Mike Lehr's Blog Thomas Fisher: Tenure: Use It or Lose It Recent efforts in statehouses around the United States, most notably in Madison, Wisconsin, to abolish public employees' and K-12 teachers' collective bargaining rights suggest that attacks on the tenure system in public higher education will not be far behind. To those who see everything in terms of the marketplace, tenure can seem anti-competitive and inefficient: if companies don't offer tenure, why should universities? Lost on most critics of tenure is the fact that universities are much more like municipalities than they are like companies, and tenured faculty are more like the property owners in a community than employees in a business. It's not surprising that such arguments fall on deaf ears among governors and legislators trying to cut budgets and reduce the size of government. Instead, when it comes to tenure, faculty need to "use it or lose it." That may seem like a risky approach. Thomas Fisher is the Dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota.
