  • Abstracts for 2015 Student Research Conference
    Abstracts for 2015 Student Research Conference Abston, Summer "Architectural Reformation Of Educational Institutions" (Shahnaz Aly) Children serve as an important factor concerning the future of this world. In order to positively impact our future we must start with education by addressing daily function in schools. The aim of this research is to create an environment that is conducive not only for performance but also for health. This is accomplished by appealing to sensory elements. Studies show that by increasing natural lighting and controlling the acoustics, learning can be improved. Health is a vital aspect in producing an environment for learning. By increasing ventilation and not using hazardous materials, such as VOCs and BPAs, adverse health effects can be averted. Materials can serve a dualistic purpose of appealing through sensory perception and meeting sustainability goals. Additionally, materials can also aid in code compliance. Certain types of glass offer a myriad of benefits for regulation and security advances. Moreover, through better selection of materials, schools can improve their educational environment and prevent sick building syndrome all while becoming more sustainable and accommodating to building codes. This presentation will highlight the topics that were adopted in the design of a high school. Abston, Summer; Aly, Shahnaz; "Observational Sketching As A Platform To Improve Sketching Techniques" (Shahnaz Aly) Architecture is a very visual discipline that involves sketching and drawing as a means of visual expression. However, the computer has become the preferred design tool for most designers and architects. Through the transition of traditional to digitals drawing tools, programs have become so sophisticated that they virtually require no thought from the user, making hand sketching a thing of the past.

  • 2013 Discussion Guide the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Seal Was Designed by Artist Lev Mills in 1974
    american library association ethnic and multicultural information exchange round table coretta scott king book awards committee Coretta Scott King Book Awards 2013 discussion guide The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Seal was designed by artist Lev Mills in 1974. The symbolism in the seal refl ects both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s philosophy and the ideals of the award. The basic circle represents continuity in movement, resolving from one idea to another. Within the circle is the image of an African American child reading a book. The fi ve main religious symbols below the image of the child represent nonsectarianism. The superimposed pyramid symbolizes both strength and Atlanta University, the award’s headquarters when the seal was designed. At the apex of the pyramid is the dove, symbolic of peace. The rays shine toward peace and brotherhood. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards seal images and award names are solely and exclusively owned by the American Library Association. The Coretta Scott King Book Award A Living Legend The Coretta Scott King Book Awards have grown since their conception in the late 1960s. At a dinner gala of the New Jersey Library Association in May 1970, Lillie Patterson was honored for her biography, Martin Luther King, Jr.: Man of Peace. In 1972, the fi rst Coretta Scott King Book Awards breakfast was held at an ALA conference site. Offi cial affi liation with the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) came in 1980, and in 1982, the American Library Associa- tion recognized the Coretta Scott King Award as an association award.
