  • Sistema De Memoria Colectiva En El Metro Imagotipos En La Ciudad De México*
    INVESTIGACIÓN 9 Sistema de memoria colectiva en el Metro Imagotipos en la Ciudad de México* Francisco López Ruiz Resumen El Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano (Metro) de la Ciudad de México ofrece un valor simbólico único en el mundo. Desde hace cuatro décadas las estaciones del Metro son representadas mediante íconos o imagotipos. El objetivo de este artículo es contrastar las características gráficas de dos imagotipos y la vinculación con su contexto urbano e histórico: los ideogramas de las estaciones La Noria (tren ligero) y Cuatro Caminos (línea 2 del Metro). El argumento central establece que los imagotipos del Metro y otros sistemas de transporte capitalino forman parte de la riqueza patri- monial y la identidad de la Ciudad de México, ya que simbolizan de manera creativa diversos elementos culturales y urbanos. Abstract Mexico City’s subway icons are unique examples of urban graphic design. The purpose of this essay is to compare two icons –La Noria (urban train) and Cuatro Caminos (subway)– and analyze their historical and cultural meaning or significance. The main argument is that such subway icons stand as symbols of Mexico City’s cultural heritage insofar they represent diverse cultural and urban elements. * Esta investigación pertenece al proyecto Energía y arquitectura sustentable, financiado por la Dirección de Investigación de la, Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México y el Patronato Económico de la misma universidad (FICSAC). 10 Francisco López Ruiz arquitectos, con lo cual se evita la fealdad El ingeniero Bernardo

  • GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1
    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

    The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report DECEMBER 1974 NATIONAL SPACE SCIENCE DATA CENTER NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION * GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, GREENBELT, MD. NSSDC 74-16 The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) Report December 1974 FOREWORD The Space Investigations Documentation System (SIDS) report is prepared by the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard Space Flight Center for the Office of Space Science (OSS) at NASA Headquarters. The report will serve as a users guide for OSS manage- ment. In addition it is intended to provide the professional community with information about OSS current and planned investigative activity in a broad range of scientific disciplines. The report provides brief descriptions for these investigations, as well as the approximate time periods when each investigation operates and collects data. The SIDS report replaces the Space Science and Applications Program document (NHB 8030.2) from April 1960 to August 1968. Information on the supporting research and technology (SRT) and sounding rocket (SR) programs contained in that predecessor report has been deleted from SIDS, but it is available from the Office' of the Associate Administrator for Space Science. The SIDS report differs from the Report on Active and Planned Spacecraft and Experiments, edited by Julius Brecht and published by NSSDC in January 1974, in that it includes experiments and spacecraft of direct concern to OSS. At the spacecraft level, the report includes names of the program scientist and program manager. At the experiment level, the report shows whether an experiment was approved or approved conditionally, specifies the responsible OSS Division, and lists the SIDS investigation discipline codes.
