Jest to duch i materia, razem i oddzielnie, tak jak to ujął niemiecki fi lozof Martin Heidegger w eseju Przezwyciężanie metafi zyki: »Most skupia na swój sposób przy sobie Ziemię i Niebo, Istoty Boskie i Śmiertelnych«”.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

    6 HISTORIC BRIDGES HISTORIC BRIDGES 397 SURVEY REPORT FOR HISTORIC HIGHWAY BRIDGES HIGHWAY FOR HISTORIC REPORT SURVEY 1901-1920 PERIOD By the turn of the century, bridge design, as a profession, had sufficiently advanced that builders ceased erecting several of the less efficient truss designs such as the Bowstring, Double Intersection Pratt, or Baltimore Petit trusses. Also, the formation of the American Bridge Company in 1901 eliminated many small bridge companies that had been scrambling for recognition through unique truss designs or patented features. Thus, after the turn of the century, builders most frequently erected the Warren truss and Pratt derivatives (Pratt, Parker, Camelback). In addition, builders began to erect concrete arch bridges in Tennessee. During this period, counties chose to build the traditional closed spandrel design that visually evoked the form of the masonry arch. Floods in 1902 and 1903 that destroyed many bridges in the state resulted in counties going into debt to undertake several bridge replacement projects. One of the most concentrated bridge building periods at a county level occurred shortly before World War I as a result of legislation the state passed in 1915 that allowed counties to pass bond issues for road and bridge construction. Consequently, several counties initiated large road construction projects, for example, Anderson County (#87, 01-A0088-03.53) and Unicoi County (#89, 86-A0068- 00.89). This would be the last period that the county governments were the most dominant force in road and bridge construction. This change in leadership occurred due to the creation of the Tennessee State Highway Department in 1915 and the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1916.
