OPTIONAL GROUP ACTIVITIES NYU Radiology in Santa Barbara Four Seasons, Santa Barbara October 19-23, 2009 OPTIONAL GROUP ACTIVITIES NYU Radiology in Santa Barbara Four Seasons, Santa Barbara October 19-23, 2009 The activities below have been arranged by TPI on an exclusive basis for NYU attendees so as not to conflict with the meeting agenda. TPI reserves the right to cancel or re-price any tours that do not meet the minimum requirements. Some activities require a commitment a month prior. Request after this date cannot be guaranteed. MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2009 ►Enchanted Santa Barbara 1:30pm-5:00pm $81 per adult $78 per child (5-18 years) Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful small cities in the world. Guests invariably feel transported to a magical time and place in this city filled with unique architecture and relaxed vibes. Begin this unique tour by visiting Old Mission Santa Barbara, which is known as the Queen of the California Missions. The Mission’s sanctuary and chapel are still in use today, as is the Sacred Garden, which used to be closed to female visitors, with the exception of royalty or political wives, until 1959! After touring the Mission, head towards downtown Santa Barbara. The best way to discover the city is by following the steps of the famed “Red Tile” walking tour, which is a pleasant walk through just 12 short blocks in downtown Santa Barbara. Along the way, discover many of the city's oldest and most fascinating landmarks such as the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. This castle-like Spanish-Mediterranean stucco building lies in the center of Santa Barbara as a gleaming, glorious piece of architecture. The courthouse is recognized as one of the nation’s most outstanding public buildings for both its exterior and interior, and the Courthouse tower is one of the highest points in downtown Santa Barbara. Views from atop the Courthouse extend 360 degrees, offering marvelous sights of downtown, the harbor, Stearns wharf, various churches in Santa Barbara, and the majestic mountains of Santa Barbara. Continue to El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park, Spain's last government outpost in America. Founded April 21, 1782, the Santa Barbara Royal Presidio was the last in a chain of four military fortresses built by the Spanish along the coast of Alta California, then a wilderness frontier. The Park encompasses the original Presidio site and is a living history site interpreting the Spanish, Mexican, and Native American heritage of Santa Barbara. Includes: Round trip transportation, bottled water on vehicle, admission and donation fees, guides, taxes and gratuities. Minimum 20 persons TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2009 ►Lotusland Tour 1:30pm-3:45pm $92 per adult $76 per child (5-18 years) Montecito is cherished for its elaborate, grandiose estates, many of which have unique histories. A 37-acre living museum of gardens nestled in the foothills of Montecito; Lotusland is one of the most spectacular properties in California, revered for its august architecture and resplendent gardens. The estate has a long history that dates back to the late 1800’s. It began its transformation to its present state when it was purchased in 1941 by the well-known opera singer, Madame Ganna Walska who made the property a spiritual refuge. In creating the gardens, the artistic Madame experimented freely with bold forms and unusual color combinations. She contrasted serene, traditional vistas with daring theatrical displays; Lotusland features a wide array of distinctive elements—a charming outdoor theatre, elaborate topiary garden, horticultural clock, Neptune fountain, formal parterre, and hedged allées—which have all been preserved immaculately. Her striking botanic collections of aloes, bromeliads, cacti, various other succulents, cycads, ferns and palms are continually improved and enhanced so that Lotusland remains a breathtaking haven teeming with entirely unique landscaping. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the tour covers 1½ - 2 miles over many gravel-surfaced paths. Includes: Round trip transportation, admission fees, guide, taxes and gratuities. Minimum 30 persons WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2009 ►Santa Ynez Valley and Vineyards 10:30am-4:45pm $185 per adult (includes lunch) $140 per child (5-18 years) Begin with a breathtaking drive (approximately 50 minutes) that commences in Santa Barbara and ascends into the Santa Ynez Mountains over the original stagecoach route, San Marcos Pass, along which there are views of majestic mountains and sweeping valleys. After descending into the Santa Ynez Valley, there will be an opportunity to explore Los Olivos, a quaint western town offering an enclave of art galleries, tasting rooms and antique shops. Upon approaching the Santa Ynez wine country, it’s easy to understand why poets have rhapsodized about the nectar of the grape throughout the ages. The first winery on the tour is Firestone Winery which is majestically situated on 260 acres of vineyards. Overlooking the vineyard is the winery, an impressive structure that is modern in concept yet classic in design. Cathedral-like rooms house row upon row of oak barrels and casks. The winery's reputation for producing exceptional and unique wines continues to grow. Enjoy a tour of the facility. After tasting some of the latest wines in production, enter the private patio, the perfect setting for a picnic lunch. NOTE: Bottles of wine will be available for purchase with your lunch. Continue to Gainey Vineyard, which is situated on an 1800-acre ranch that extends along carefully landscaped grounds graced by tall sycamore trees and sweeping views. The winemaking equipment at Gainey is as modern as the views are ageless. Enter the vintner’s tasting room to sample the treasures created by the surrounding vines. Next is Sunstone Winery, where the sights are incredibly reminiscent of the French Countryside. Enjoy this simple yet elegant vineyard that blossoms with a profusion of wildflowers, jasmine and lavender amidst ivy-lined architecture reminiscent of Provence. It’s a truly elegant, yet rustic treasure of the Santa Ynez Valley. As the journey continues, it’s possible to see miniature horses, llamas, emus and ostriches before reaching the Pacific Ocean and winding the way down the rugged coast back to Santa Barbara. Includes: Round trip transportation, bottled water on vehicle, tour and tasting at each vineyard, picnic lunch, private use of Firestone’s Patio, 1 souvenier glass per guest at each winery, guides, taxes and gratuities. Minimum 35 persons THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2009 ►Up Above the Clouds Jeep Tour 12:30pm – 5:00pm $215.00 per person - Lunch at Cold Springs Tavern No discount for children. Not recommended for children under 5. Experience the American Riviera in a whole new way by off-roading in an open-air jeep. The adventure starts from the hotel and ascends more than four thousand feet into the beautiful Santa Ynez Mountain Range, which is located in the rugged backcountry of the Los Padres National Forest. Known all over the world for its exceptional beauty, Santa Barbara County boasts mountain fresh air, crystal-clear lakes, stunning scenery, and palm-lined, glistening golden beaches as far as the eye can see. Experienced drivers will narrate along the way and provide interesting history and short vignettes about the region and its plants and wildlife. Ride along scenic San Marcos Road famous for its sharp turns and narrow passes. At the summit, turn onto Stagecoach road, which was the original stage coach route. On along this historical road, travel back in time some 130 years. It was during this era of the stagecoach that our historic lunch stop, Cold Spring Tavern, played a very prominent role. The Tavern was established in 1865 and has been serving hungry guests ever since. Experience the beauty of Santa Barbara with the breathtaking 360-degree view at the top of these mountains. Includes: Exclusive use of jeeps, certified driver/guides, first aid kits and radios to base, lunch, complimentary Polaroid snapshot of each guest, taxes and gratuities. Minimum 5 persons per jeep. ►Catamaran Coastal Cruise 3:00pm – 6:00pm $137 per person No discount for children. There is no better way to experience Santa Barbara than by cruising her spectacular coastline aboard a 50-foot catamaran. Come aboard the Double Dolphin, a private charter catamaran, and get away from all of the interruptions of everyday life; it’s a wonderful stress reliever. Cruise begin with a narrated tour of the Santa Barbara Harbor, local vessels, and a brief history of the harbor and waterfront, and animals often sighted along the cruise include dolphins, porpoises, seals, sharks, sea lions and many kinds of birds. Enjoy the breeze as the Double Dolphin leaves the harbor and glides silently through the water under full sail.

  • Roots and Relationships of Greening Buildings
    Eco-Architecture II 57 Roots and relationships of greening buildings S. Fruehwirth Institute of Architecture and Landscape, Technical University Graz, Austria Abstract In ancient Greece, the Hanging Gardens have their origin in the cult of Adonis. To honour Adonis, corn and spices were planted on the roof of the houses – and the Cult Garden emerged. By 2,600 BC it was reported that grapevines were used for arbours. Such functional uses were also found in Roman gardens: pergolas with rambling roses and arbour trails rambling with grapevines already existed. As protection against climatic influences, the grass roofs in Scandinavia and also in the hot southern regions were used to equalise temperature and create a pleasant indoor environment. Nowadays, similar temperature regulation is used in Austria and Hungary for subterranean wine cellars. Further subterranean buildings are military bunkers. They were built underneath artificial earth banks, and for a better camouflage, the roof was cropped. In his “five points of a new architecture”, Le Corbusier explained the necessity of roof greenings. This green roof was one of the first claims for a private green space generated with the atmosphere of nature. Looking at the individual origins of the history of covered buildings more closely, we can compare the different but sometimes similar use of plants to greening buildings in connection with contemporary architecture. Keywords: historical development of greening buildings, vertical garden, green facades, green roof. 1 Introduction The historic development of greening buildings has various origins. In this paper, the meaning of the creation of green roofs in ancient times and the first mention of tendrillar plants that are interwoven with a built horizontal and vertical environment will be analysed and recovered in contemporary architectural tendencies.

  • The Expression of Sacred Space in Temple Mythology
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository EXPRESSONS OF SACRED SPACE: TEMPLE ARCHITECTURE IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST by Martin J Palmer submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Literature and Philosophy in the subject Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Promoter: Prof. P S Vermaak February 2012 ii ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to identify, isolate, and expound the concepts of sacred space and its ancillary doctrines and to show how they were expressed in ancient temple architecture and ritual. The fundamental concept of sacred space defined the nature of the holiness that pervaded the temple. The idea of sacred space included the ancient view of the temple as a mountain. Other subsets of the basic notion of sacred space include the role of the creation story in temple ritual, its status as an image of a heavenly temple and its location on the axis mundi, the temple as the site of the hieros gamos, the substantial role of the temple regarding kingship and coronation rites, the temple as a symbol of the Tree of Life, and the role played by water as a symbol of physical and spiritual blessings streaming forth from the temple. Temple ritual, architecture, and construction techniques expressed these concepts in various ways. These expressions, identified in the literary and archaeological records, were surprisingly consistent throughout the ancient Near East across large expanses of space and time. Under the general heading of Techniques of Construction and Decoration, this thesis examines the concept of the primordial mound and its application in temple architecture, the practice of foundation deposits, the purposes and functions of enclosure walls, principles of orientation, alignment, and measurement, and interior decorations.

  • A Garden of Story and Mystery
    AVALON A Garden of Story and netted wall and canopy Mystery up lawn up up pavilion water garden view from herb garden to pavilion and water garden herb garden viewing pond ramp The wall inspires an experience of boundary as well as of guidance; it both separates us from the outside and provides a reference to the change in topography. At the same time it encloses the space of the garden and guides one throughout the space. The Garden is a place of story and mystery; a juxtaposition of different elements to provide internal and external experience at multiple scales. At the scale of the landscape there is the ramp which provides a view across the estate and an intimate experience of the wall through touch, while the pond is the opposite, prompting one to look down into the water and into the space below the wall. At the scale of the garden, there is a dialogue between the heaviness of the wall to support plant growth and the ephemeral net which changes from wall to canopy and allows one to see the plants as a fi lter instead of as an object. At the human scale, the pavilion provides shelter and venue while the suspended water garden presents plants contained within glass vessels at varying heights for viewing by children and adults alike. The goal of the garden is to create a dynamic experience for both the gardener and the public. view from herb garden to viewing platform WRITTEN HISTORY, PERSONAL RECOLLECTION AND THE COMMUNAL SPACE OF THE GARDEN: THE HADSPEN PARABOLA A garden is a place where the natural becomes sculpted, set aside and put on display.

  • Western Botanical Gardens: History and Evolution
    5 Western Botanical Gardens: History and Evolution Donald A. Rakow Section of Horticulture School of Integrative Plant Science Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Ithaca, NY USA Sharon A. Lee Sharon Lee and Associates Swarthmore, PA USA ABSTRACT Dedicated to promoting an understanding of plants and their importance, the modern Western botanical garden addresses this mission through the establish- ment of educational programs, display and interpretation of collections, and research initiatives. The basic design and roles of the contemporary institution, however, can be traced to ancient Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome, where important elements emerged that would evolve over the centuries: the garden as walled and protected sanctuary, the garden as an organized space, and plants as agents of healing. In the Middle Ages, those concepts expanded to become the hortus conclusus, the walled monastery gardens where medicinal plants were grown. With intellectual curiosity at its zenith in the Renaissance, plants became subjects to be studied and shared. In the 16th and 17th centuries, botanical gardens in western Europe were teaching laboratories for university students studying medicine, botany, and what is now termed pharmacology. The need to teach students how to distinguish between medicinally active plants and poisonous plants led the first professor of botany in Europe, Francesco Bonafede, to propose the creation of the Orto botanico in Padua. Its initial curator was among the first to take plant collecting trips throughout Europe. Not to be Horticultural Reviews, Volume 43, First Edition. Edited by Jules Janick. 2015 Wiley-Blackwell.

  • Plant Diversity in Lumbini Area: Plants Related to Gautam Buddha's Life
    2021 Journal of Plant Resources Vol.19, No. 1 Plant diversity in Lumbini Area: Plants related to Gautam Buddha’s Life Need Ecological Restoration Achyut Tiwari1*, Prashanna Tiwari2 & Mitra Lal Pathak3* 1Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Nardevi Central Ayurveda Hospital, Nardevi, Kathmandu, Nepal 3National Botanical Garden, Department of Plant Resources, Ministry of Forest and Environments, Godawari, Lalitpur, Nepal *Email: [email protected] Abstract Plant diversity of Lumbini area was studied especially focusing on native plants, although large number of non-native species has been planted in the area. We have also compiled the plant species used by Lord Gautam Buddha during his life period through published literature. Altogether, 181 plant species belongs to 51 families were reported from this study. Of them, 41 families were dicot, seven were monocot and three were belongs to Fern and fern allies. 27 plant species were reported as plants used by Lord Gautam Buddha in his life period. 23 species belongs to 10 families were reported as invasive species whereas 39 species of 17 families were found as only tree species. The study area was found rich for Fabaceae and Asteraceae as previous studies in the low land or Terai regions of Nepal. Some of the common species in the ecological region have not been recorded during the survey, indicating that the sacred landscape needs immediate intervention for restoring the native species in Lumbini. Keywords: Invasive plant species, Lumbini, Nepal, Plant diversity Introduction high altitudinal and climatic variation within the small area of 147, 181 km2, ranging from 59 m above Plant diversity refers to the diversity of plants sea level to 8,848 m, the highest point in the world.
