  • Cladding the Mid-Century Modern: Thin Stone Veneer-Faced Precast Concrete
    CLADDING THE MID-CENTURY MODERN: THIN STONE VENEER-FACED PRECAST CONCRETE Sarah Sojung Yoon Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Historic Preservation Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Columbia University May 2016 Advisor Dr. Theodore Prudon Adjunct Professor at Columbia University Principal, Prudon & Partners Reader Sidney Freedman Director, Architectural Precast Concrete Services Precast/ Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Reader Kimball J. Beasley Senior Principal, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) ABSTRACT Cladding the Mid-Century Modern: Thin Stone Veneer-Faced Precast Concrete Sarah Sojung Yoon Dr. Theodore Prudon, Advisor With significant advancements in building technology at the turn of the twentieth century, new building materials and innovative systems changed the conventions of construction and design. New materials were introduced and old materials continued to be transformed for new uses. With growing demand after WWII forcing further modernization and standardization and greater experimentation; adequate research and testing was not always pursued. Focusing on this specific composite cladding material consisting of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete – the official name given at the time – this research aims to identify what drove the design and how did the initial design change over time. Design decisions and changes are evident from and identified by closely studying the industry and trade literature in the form of articles, handbooks/manuals, and guide specifications. For this cladding material, there are two major industries that came together: the precast concrete industry and the stone industry. Literature from both industries provide a comprehensive understanding of their exchange and collaboration. From the information in the trade literature, case studies using early forms of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete are identified, and the performance of the material over time is discussed.

  • The Little Foxes Program
    THE LITTLE FOXES 2016/17 SEASON We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Zelda Fichandler, Arena Stage’s co-founder and first Artistic Director. She was 91. Zelda was an extraordinary woman and brilliant theater professional who transformed American theater with her vision and artistry. From Artistic Director Molly Smith: Zelda is the mother of us all in the American theater. It was her thinking as a seminal artist and architect of the not-for-profit resident theater that imagined resident theaters creating brilliant theater in our own communities. A revolutionary idea. Her thinking and her writing have forged the way we were created and the resident nature of our movement. She is irreplaceable but lives on in every single not-for-profit theater in America — now over 1,500 strong. Her legacy stretches from coast to coast. Arthur Miller wrote in the preface to Arena’s 40th anniversary keepsake book (The Arena Adventure) that Arena had the makings of a national theater for the U.S. Without Zelda and Margo Jones and Nina Vance there would not be this robust American theater landscape. So, it was a vision like Zelda’s that could lead to a time where our vision at Arena for American work can thrive. She had a remarkable openness to new ideas and most of all, to always, always support the artist. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends who knew her best. The Lillian Hellman Festival is dedicated to the memory of Zelda Fichandler. 2 2016/17 SEASON Remembering Zelda Fichandler1924 - 2016 Celebrate the Life of Zelda Fichandler The Words of a Visionary The Molly Smith Study Sunday, October 23 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM Public Memorial Service The Fichandler Monday, October 24 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM VISIT ARENASTAGE.ORG/ZELDA FOR MORE INFORMATION.

However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

  • History of Arena Stage: Where American Theater Lives the Mead Center for American Theater
    History oF arena Stage: Where American Theater Lives The Mead Center for American Theater Arena Stage was founded August 16, 1950 in Washington, D.C. by Zelda Fichandler, Tom Fichandler and Edward Mangum. Over 65 years later, Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater, under the leadership of Artistic Director Molly Smith and Executive Director Edgar Dobie, is a national center dedicated to American voices and artists. Arena Stage produces plays of all that is passionate, profound, deep and dangerous in the American spirit, and presents diverse and ground- breaking work from some of the best artists around the country. Arena Stage is committed to commissioning and developing new plays and impacts the lives of over 10,000 students annually through its work in community engagement. Now in its seventh decade, Arena Stage serves a diverse annual audience of more than 300,000. When Zelda and Tom Fichandler and a handful of friends started Arena Stage, there was no regional theater movement in the United States or resources to support a theater committed to providing quality work for its community. It took time for the idea of regional theater to take root, but the Fichandlers, together with the people of the nation’s capital, worked patiently to build the fledgling theater into a diverse, multifaceted, internationally renowned institution. Likewise, there were no professional theaters operating in Washington, D.C. in 1950. Actors’ Equity rules did not permit its members to perform in segregated houses, and neither The National nor Ford’s Theatre was integrated. From its inception, Arena opened its doors to anyone who wished to buy a ticket, becoming the first integrated theater in this city.

Without having to spend every waking moment just trying to survive, people found other needs existing at a higher, spiritual level. The groups of people grew into cities, allowing an even higher degree of specialization, and hence, increased interdependence among the inhabitants. Cities have always served many functions and any one of these functions could be seen as reason enough for the city to exist.

  • Vangie Bruce's Diplomatic Salon: a Mid-Twentieth-Century Portrait
    14 VANGIE BRUCE’S DIPLOMATIC SALON A mid-twentieth-century portrait Kenneth Weisbrode Diplomacy has long been regarded as one of the more traditional subjects of histor- ical scholarship, at the top of Ranke’s hierarchy and perhaps the closest to his heart. What could be more important than high politics, the intricate relations among states, with consequences for millions? Even military history as such came to be seen as a subset of diplomatic, later called international, history. States were the principal actors, and more often than not states appeared at once impersonal and anthropomorphic, with capital cities serving as subjects not only for official acts but also for motivations and mentalities. The construction ‘Paris said’ or ‘Berlin responded’ is a literary device; readers of diplomatic history know this, however susceptible many of them remain to the equation of state behaviour with an ostensibly uniform ‘official mind.’ Historians have long dissected the official mind to show that it included, or at least incor- porated, wilfully or inadvertently, ‘unofficial’ networks, influences and individual actors. It is far less uniform or united in practice, bureaucratically and otherwise, than official pronouncements would lead one to believe many years later. There is, in other words, no such thing as the official mind; there are multiple minds, and very few can be labelled accurately as purely or exclusively official or unofficial. There have been two principal methodologies for drawing out these distinctions and reconstructing their history: the institutional, or bureaucratic, study, which is a kind of anatomy of decision-making; and the sociographic or contextual narra- tive with various actors coming and going to and from the stage.
