Angels in the Architecture 2: Build It Bigger Round 7 1. Several Fan
Angels in the Architecture 2: Build it Bigger Round 7 1. Several fan blades and I-beams surround a dilapidated electrical shed this company built in a cornfield as a back exit to its facility. After this company expanded its business beyond shower curtain manufacturing, it moved its headquarters to an abandoned salt mine on the Upper Peninsula, where a secret door leads to the drydock in which its constructed the Borealis. After the player avoids “victory candescence” and refuses to “assume the party escort submission position,” she must use one of this company’s products to escape through the back rooms of its facility. This company’s Test Chamber 17 contains one of the Rat Man’s dens as well as an incinerator into which the player must drop the Weighted Companion Cube. For 10 points, name this scientific research company whose Enrichment Center was flooded with deadly neurotoxin by GLaDOS and which provides the setting for the Portal games. ANSWER: Aperture Science [do not accept or prompt on “Black Mesa”] 2. He’s not Norman Foster, but this architect has been commissioned to design the headquarters building for the Masdar City mega-development in Abu Dhabi. This architect’s plans for a “stayed-mast” design at the cancelled 7 South Dearborn project began his move away from Fazlur Khan’s “bundled tube” structural system for skyscrapers, and that movement continued as a collaboration with structural engineer Bill Baker on the “buttressed core” system used on his two tallest buildings. Though he now runs a practice with Gordon Gill, this architect was until 2006 a parter at SOM, for whom he designed the Burj Khalifa. -

Abstract: The Liao dynasty (907-1125) was a dominant force in the political landscape of East Asia for a period of over two centuries. Despite this, when placed within the framework of Chinese history, the Liao polity and its associated architecture are forced to the periphery. This study aims to re-centre the Liao by exploring the pagodas constructed under this polity within a wider regional and chronological framework. To achieve this end, extant pagodas from China, North Korea, South Korea and Japan were recorded together in a database for the first time. -
From Hangzhou to Lin'an
From Hangzhou to Lin’an: History, Space, and the Experience of Urban Living in Narratives from Song Dynasty China by Ye Han A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Stephen H. West, Chair Stephen R. Bokenkamp Xiaoqiao Ling ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation uncovers the contemporary impressions of Song cities represented in Song narratives and their accounts of the interplay between people and urban environments. It links these narratives to urban and societal changes in Hangzhou 杭州 (Lin’an 臨安) during the Song dynasty, cross-referencing both literary creations and historical accounts through a close reading of the surviving corpus of Song narratives, in order to shed light on the cultural landscape and social milieu of Hangzhou. By identifying, reconstructing, and interpreting urban changes throughout the “pre- modernization” transition as well as their embodiments in the narratives, the dissertation links changes to the physical world with the development of Song narratives. In revealing the emerging connection between historical and literary spaces, the dissertation concludes that the transitions of Song cities and urban culture drove these narrative writings during the Song dynasty. Meanwhile, the ideologies and urban culture reflected in these accounts could only have emerged alongside the appearance of a consumption society in Hangzhou. Aiming to expand our understanding of the literary value of Song narratives, the dissertation therefore also considers historical references and concurrent writings in other genres. By elucidating the social, spatial, and historical meanings embedded in a variety of Song narrative accounts, this study details how the Song literary narrative corpus interprets the urban landscapes of the period’s capital city through the private experiences of Song authors. -
The Paradox of the Angled Bracket-Arm and the Unorthodox “Speech Patterns” of Shanxi Regional Architecture
SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 279 August, 2018 The Paradox of the Angled Bracket-arm and the Unorthodox “Speech Patterns” of Shanxi Regional Architecture by Alexandra Harrer Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. -
