  • City Council Agenda
    CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Agenda Date: August 20, 2012 Action Required: Approve the 2012 Architectural Design Control (ADC) Districts Design Guidelines (5-Year Update) as recommended by the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review (BAR) Presenter: Mary Joy Scala, Preservation & Design Planner, City of Charlottesville Staff Contacts: Jim Tolbert, Director, Neighborhood Development Services Title: 2012 Architectural Design Control (ADC) Districts Design Guidelines (5-Year Update) Background: The current ADC Districts Design Guidelines were adopted by City Council on October 17, 2005. Sec. 34-288(6) of the existing ADC District regulations requires that the Design Guidelines are updated every 5 years. On May 15, 2012 the BAR recommended (7-0) for City Council’s approval the attached revisions to the ADC Districts Design Guidelines. The Word document shows proposed deletions struck out, and proposed new text underlined, so you can see the changes. The end product will be formatted to look similar to the existing Guidelines document. Discussion: A BAR subcommittee (Fred Wolf, Eryn Brennan, Preston Coiner and Syd Knight) proposed changes that were discussed by the full BAR in November 2011. The subcommittee noted the lack of guidelines related to public landscapes, so experts Genevieve Keller, Gregg Bleam, Preston Coiner and Syd Knight were convened in December 2011 to discuss. A full BAR work session was held in January 2012 to review additional proposed guidelines for Public Landscapes and for Tents. Substantive revisions (other than typos, updates, corrections, and rearranging text) include: Chapter 5 - Signs, Awnings, Vending and Cafes (page 40) New guidelines for tents for weekend use and for winter café season or year-round use.

  • Sites of Play: Locating Gameplace in Red Dead Redemption 2
    Sites of Play: Locating Gameplace in Red Dead Redemption 2 Andrew Westerside University of Lincoln Brayford Pool, LN6 7TS United Kingdom [email protected] Jussi Holopainen University of Lincoln Brayford Pool, LN6 7TS United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT In Video Game Spaces (2009), Michael Nitsche proposes three indicators of ‘placeness’ in video games: identity, self-motivated and self-organised action, and traces of memory (191-201). We read this notion of placeness as closely aligned to, or overlapping with, the understandings of place and site articulated in theatre and performance research as site-specific performance. Here, we articulate the ideas (and analyse the experiences) of placeness and sitedness in Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) through an analytical conversation between performance studies and games design research with a human-computer interaction bias. Through a close- reading of gameplay experiences (Bizzocchi and Tanenbaum, 2011), we individually experienced over 30 hours of RDR2 gameplay while taking notes, recording, and capturing screenshots. During our individual analyses, we met periodically to compare notes, discuss notable game moments and share analytical insights. At this intersection of game research and performance research, we ask to what extent the theoretical articulations of aesthetic/affective experience in physical, corporeal and material spaces can develop – and further nuance – our understanding of how place is experienced (and thus designed) in contemporary videogames. In doing so, we propose the term gameplace as a means of articulating what this article will define as the affective relationship between place, experience and play. Keywords Place, space, placeness, gameworld, gameplay, performance research, phenomenology INTRODUCTION Site-Specific Performance For scholars and practitioners in the discipline, site-specific performance refers to ‘performance conceived on the basis of a place in the real world (ergo, outside the established theatre)’ (Pavis, 1998, p.337).

  • 2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021
    2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021 Overview As one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic destinations for leisure visitors, global meetings and conventions, major cultural festivals and national sporting championships, New Orleans welcomes millions of travelers and countless corporations and organizations each year with revelry and joy. Our cultural authenticity, joie de vivre and the fact that we are organically built to host, result in an unequalled success and travel experience in New Orleans like nowhere else, with every trip and gathering producing a world class memory. New Orleans & Company and its hospitality partners flourish with great relationships with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Superintendent/Chief of Police Shaun Ferguson and his senior team. New Orleans & Company partners with and engages the top leadership of the NOPD on all elements, locations and activities of every gathering and convention so they may be available not only to meet and discuss all of a group’s priorities and requirements, but to ensure coverage around convention venues and all areas where specific events are occurring. NOPD creates a deployment plan designed specifically for the needs of that group. As the world successfully emerges from the pandemic, the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and residents is our number one priority in New Orleans. This fall, New Orleans will host many major conventions and meetings, huge cultural events including French Quarter Festival, Voodoo Festival and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, just to name a few, so we ask visitors to use the same personal safety precautions, and to stay vigilant, as they would at home and in any metropolitan destination.
