Frank Lloyd Wright in Venice and the Masieri Memorial
MODERNISM CONTESTED: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT IN VENICE AND THE MASIERI MEMORIAL DEBATE by TROY MICHAEL AINSWORTH, B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN LAND-USE PLANNING, MANAGEMENT, AND DESIGN Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Michael Anthony Jones Co-Chairperson of the Committee Bryce Conrad Co-Chairperson of the Committee Hendrika Buelinckx Paul Carlson Accepted John Borrelli Dean of the Graduate School May, 2005 © 2005, Troy Michael Ainsworth ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The task of writing a dissertation is realized through the work of an individual supported by many others. My journey reflects this notion. My thanks and appreciation are extended to those who participated in the realization of this project. I am grateful to Dr. Michael Anthony Jones, now retired from the College of Architecture, who directed and guided my research, offered support and suggestions, and urged me forward from the beginning. Despite his retirement, Dr. Jones’ unfaltering guidance throughout the project serves as a testament to his dedication to the advancement of knowledge. The efforts and guidance of Dr. Hendrika Buelinckx, College of Architecture, Dr. Paul Carlson, Department of History, and Dr. Bryce Conrad, Department of English, ensured the successful completion of this project, and I thank them profusely for their untiring assistance, constructive criticism, and support. I am especially grateful to James Roth of the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts, for his assistance, and I thank the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation for awarding me a research grant. Likewise, I extend my thanks to the Ernest Hemingway Foundation and Society for awarding me its Paul Smith-Michael Reynolds Founders Fellowship to enable my research. -
Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia
Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia April, 2014 Carried out by: Dr. Sc. David Pithart MSc Ivana Petrov Rančić Petra Kutleša Aljoša Duplić IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia is being implemented over a period of two years (from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2014). The Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, Nature Protection Directorate (MENP) is the government institution responsible for the implementation of the project and will act as the Executing Agency. The main implementing partner of the Ministry is the State Institute for Nature Protection (SINP), which is the central institution carrying out expert tasks of nature protection in Croatia. UNDP is involved as the GEF Agency for the project, and it is accountable to the GEF for the use of funds. The project is nationally implemented (NIM). The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia builds on the current status and achievements of Croatia with respect to its obligations vis-à-vis the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), in particular the country’s biodiversity planning and Convention reporting processes, and its commitment to implement, at the national level, the CBD’s Strategic Plan for the period 2011-2020. The concept of ecosystem services that is directly connected to the Aichi Targets 14 and 15 of CBD, as well as the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, are still quite new for Croatia. Since 2013, three projects in Croatia were dealing with the economic valuation of biodiversity, where ecosystem services were used as a tool for sustainable management of nature protected areas (in Nature Park Vransko jezero and Nature Park Velebit), or for sustainable rural development. -
