  • The Deinstallation of a Period Room: What Goes in to Taking One Out
    Figure 1. Brown Pearl Hall, West Boxford, Massachusetts, about 1704. Figure 2. Oak Hill Parlor, early 19th century, Peabody, Massachusetts. 2006 WAG Postprints—Providence, Rhode Island The Deinstallation of a Period Room: What Goes in to Taking One Out Gordon Hanlon, Furniture and Frame Conservation, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Melissa H. Carr, Masterwork Conservation ABSTRACT Many American museums installed period rooms in the early twentieth century. Eighty years later, different environmental standards and museum expansions mean that some of those rooms need to be removed and either reinstalled or placed in storage. Over the past four years the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has deinstalled all of their European and American period rooms as part of a Master Plan to expand and reorganize the museum. The removal of the rooms was coordinated and supported by museum staff and performed by private contractors. The first part of this paper will discuss the background of the project and the particular issues of the museum to prepare for the deinstallation. The second part will provide an overview of the deinstallation of one specific, painted and fully-paneled room to illustrate the process. It will include comments on the planning, logistics, physical removal and documentation, as well as notes on its future reinstallation. Introduction he Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is in the process of implementing the first phase of a Master Plan which involves the demolition of the east wing of the museum and the building of a new American wing designed by the London-based architect Sir Norman Foster. This project required Tthat the museum’s eighteen period rooms (eleven American and seven European) and two large architec- tural doorways, on display in the east wing and a connector building, be deinstalled and stored during the construction phase.

  • FOI 9311 Parks in LB Tower Hamlets and List of Parks by Size Since 1938
    FOI 9311 Parks created since 1938 Could you please supply a list of all open spaces created from January 1938 to December 2012. Please supply the area of each new open space when created History of parks and open spaces in Tower Hamlets, and their heritage significance The History of Parks and Open Space in Tower Hamlets The parks and open spaces of Tower Hamlets have come about through a variety of processes. Some public open spaces were the result of deliberate design or policy, while others are the result of historic accident or expedience. There were broadly three periods during which public open space was created in Tower Hamlets. These moves were primarily to benefit people, rather than improve land or rental values. The first was the deliberate creation of Victoria Park in the mid 19 th century, the late 19 th century saw the conversion of churchyards to public gardens and the most recent was in the mid 20 th century after World War 2. Various open spaces are the result of late 18 th and 19 th century urban design, being planned formal gardens set in London Squares. As such they are protected by the London Squares Preservation Act, 1931. These sites include Trinity Square Gardens , Arbour Square , Albert Gardens and the little known Oval in Bethnal Green. See full list of protected London Squares below. Many churchyards, particularly in the west of borough became public open spaces managed by the local authority. Having been closed to further burial use because they were overflowing, they were converted in the second half of the 19 th century into public gardens.

  • My Jewish London: Performance and Identity in Co-Creative Documentary Practice
    My Jewish London: Performance and Identity in Co-Creative Documentary Practice Searle Kochberg This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2019 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 41,787 words Acknowledgements and Dedication Film is a collaborative art form, and this research project put collaboration at the forefront of its creative aims. I would like to acknowledge the great help and support I received from a wide variety of individuals whilst working on this research project. My first thanks go to six friends and collaborators who – with great enthusiasm – threw themselves into this research project. They are – in order of appearance – Josh, Roberto, Ed, Nick, Dave and Robin. It is quite an ‘ask’ in a world still rife with anti-Semitism and homophobia to request that collaborators appear on camera to communicate their (largely gay) male Jewish experiences on the streets of London. That they did so, and fed into the whole film project from preproduction through to post editing feedback with such generosity and creativity, I can only express my deep gratitude. Secondly, there are the colleagues and students who helped me realise the films behind the scenes: thank you all. Particularly I would like to thank three colleagues in the Faculty of the Creative and Cultural Industries, Luke Robertson, David Kinnaird and Dave Jordan for their tireless support during the location shooting and editing.

Our vision for the Lea River Park is for high quality, accessible parkland incorporating open space and waterways with new walking and cycling routes which will add to the decades of investment in transport infrastructure that have gone into the borough, enabling our community to be even better connected. Running through the spine of the borough’s key opportunity area, the park and improved connections will help to attract further investment into the borough whilst providing high quality leisure and recreational space to those who live and work here. With the scale of regeneration taking place in Newham, it makes us one of the most exciting places to visit in the UK.
