On and immediately adjacent to a reservation area of approxiiiiately 16 million acres in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico/and southern Utah, nearly 50,000 Navajos make their home. Sheep raising has been the main occupation of these people for well over a century. After years of continued overgrazing, the land has become badly eroded and will not support a sheep industry of sufficient size to maintain the constantly growing Navajo population. The number of mature sheep and goats on the reservation has been reduced to about 550,000 head, but the total number of stock, in- cluding horses and cattle, is still considerably in excess of the carrying capacity of the range, according to estimates of the Soil Conservation Service, of the United States Department of Agriculture. -

By Dr. Washington Matthews. § I. The art of weaving, as it exists among the Navajo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona, possesses points of great interest to the stu- dent of ethnography. It is of aboriginal origin ; and while European art has undoubtedly modifled it, the extent and nature of the foreign influence is easily traced. It is by no means certain, still there are many reasons for supposing, that the Navajos learned their craft from the Pueblo Indians, and that, too, since the advent of the Spaniards; yet the pupils, if such they be, far excel their masters to-day in the beauty and quality of their work. -

HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background in 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center Opened to the Public in Baku, the Capital of Azerbaijan
HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background In 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center opened to the public in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The cultural center, designed by Zaha Hadid, has become the primary building for the nation's cultural programs, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future. This report presents a case study of the project. It will include the background information, a synopsis of the architect's mastery of structural design. Also, some special elements of this building will be discussed in detail. And the structural design of the whole complex will be reviewed through diagrams and the simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Heydar Aliyev Center Since 1991, Azerbaijan has been working on modernizing and developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture in order to depart from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism. The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and President of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003. The project is located in the center of the city. And it played an extremely important role in the development of the city. It breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so prevalent in Baku. More importantly, it is a symbol of democratic philosophy thought. Under the influence of the new Azerbaijan party and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan leader’s political and economic reform, the center was also designed to show the potential of the country’s future cultural development, to encourage people to study the history, language, culture, national creed and spiritual values of their own country. -

Navajo Weaving: Its Historic and Contemporary Perspectives
Navajo Weaving: Its Historic and Contemporary Perspectives Presented by Jerry Kerr March, 2006 Photo by Edward S. Curtis “For many generations weaving has been an integral part of the fabric of Navajo life. Monetary rewards are only a small part of the Navajo woman’s desire to weave. Weaving is a unifying force, an expression of personal pride and cultural identity, a spiritual experience, a tradition.” - Alice Kaufman and Christopher Selser Navajo Weaving Tradition: 1650 to the Present INTRODUCTION The Pueblo Culture of the American Southwest had been in the region for centuries, and the people had been weaving cotton for 500 years by the time the Navajo arrived in the area in the 1300s. While the pueblos focused on peaceful co-existence and domesticity, the Navajo, subsistence farmers themselves, raided other tribes and villages for their sustenance and wealth. This was the tenuous balance of power that the Spanish encountered when they first arrived in the region – a peaceful pueblo culture that was the dominant social influence in the area somewhat defenseless against the incursions of the raiding Navajo. Through the taking of pueblo slaves, the Navajo had been able to learn first-hand the intricacies of weaving spun cotton thread into fabric. The Navajos quickly adapted the pueblo loom to suit their own seasonally migratory lifestyle, and they have retained those adaptations to this day. They also designated weaving as women’s work, while it had been the responsibility of the men in the pueblos. By the time of the Spanish arrival in 1540 the Navajo weavers had already begun to surpass the pueblos in technical proficiency and design creativity. -

Magic Carpet Ride
Magic Carpet Ride The Pazyryk Carpet is the world's oldest pile rug. It was found in a burial mound in the Pazyryk Valley in Siberia. Experts agree that it was most likely not made there, rather Persia or Armenia. They have dated it to some time in the 4th or 5th Century BCE (about 2,500 years old). https://www.mattcamron.com/ blog/the-worlds-oldest-rug-the- pazyryk-rug This Persian carpet dates back to the year 946. It took three years for five weavers to complete the carpet, which was ordered by Shah Tahmasp for the Sheikh Safi mosque. https://www.carpetencyclopedia.com/ Azerbaijan Carpet Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai2hDCHSPRw https://www.advantour.com/azerbaijan/handcrafts/carpets.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_rug wool dying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq94Hvsx46k Motifs https://www.orientalrugsalon.com/interpreting-rug-designs/ Faig Ahmed (1982- https://www.faigahmed.com https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nT9PwBqDDMw https://www.shangrilahawaii.org/ visit/residencies/faig-ahmed/ Faig Ahmed is an Azerbaijani contemporary visual artist who is best known for his surrealist weavings which integrate visual distortions into traditional oriental rugs. Afghan War Rugs Since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and continuing today, traditional Afghan rug weavers have incorporated stylized representations of political figures, Kalashnikovs, flags, maps, architectural landmarks, tanks, drones and ammunition amid colorful floral and geometric patterns; designs reflecting a reality familiar to the people of this multi-generational war-torn region. In 1971 the Italian conceptual artist Alighieri Boetti (1940-1994) began commissioning Afghan weavers to produce a series of map textiles originally inspired by his collected newspaper illustrations of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War (1967).
