  • Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Hillel Jewish University Center's Design Comes
    REPRINTED FROM THE PAGES OF TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2001 Jewish Center’s Design Comes from Symbolism and Surroundings By Patricia Lowry Post-Gazette Architecture Critic Like many buildings, the Hillel Jewish University Center, which opened last month in Oakland, began as a line on a page. Then another line, and another, until an idea of what the building might look like took shape. As it turned out, the building is visually richer, more complex and original than those initial sketches, and more responsive to its site. The story of how it evolved over three months is told in a 70-page, spiral-bound book that illuminates the architects’ design process from conception to completion. The product is a building that is strongly contextual, highly symbolic and looks to both the past and the future. “We like to add meaning to our work,” said Dan Rothschild of Rothschild Architects in Regent Square. “We needed a vehicle to meet with our clients across the table to talk about meaning. The strength of the sketchbook is the mix of words and pictures.” Rothschild said he began making these 11-by-14-inch books as a student, fi nding it an effective way to communicate with his teachers. His fi rm, founded 13 trust and client knowledge, and psychologically and emotionally years ago, has produced about their future relationship with – to their users and designers, 80 such books for clients.

  • 'Hoods: Place Branding and the Reconstruction of Identity in Rick Sebak's Pittsburgh Documentaries
    HOUSES, HOT DOGS, AND 'HOODS: PLACE BRANDING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN RICK SEBAK'S PITTSBURGH DOCUMENTARIES Bryan James McGeary A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Scott Magelssen © 2012 Bryan James McGeary All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This project investigates the implementation of place branding theory via documentary filmmaking focused closely on the local characteristics of a place/region. Employing a close reading of WQED filmmaker Rick Sebak’s Pittsburgh History Series focused upon recurrent themes about aspects of Pittsburgh’s unique identity framed in relation to rhetorical approach and documentary techniques, while also noting aspects left out of Sebak’s films, this dissertation demonstrates the progressive potential of publicly funded documentary filmmaking to enable the residents of a given place to rebrand their identity and foster revitalization, independent of the expectations of city planners or corporate sponsors, and without sacrificing the diversity of experiences that give that place its unique character. As a whole, Sebak’s body of work constructs a particular narrative of Western Pennsylvania’s identity that revamps some of the preexisting notions about that identity. As a project of self-definition and self-understanding, the Pittsburgh History Series provides the local populace with some agency in recreating its image, rather than being branded from the outside. The success of this place branding approach to documentary filmmaking for Sebak and Western Pennsylvania suggests that other cities and regions could use it as a model to take greater control of their identities and cultivate renewal.

    ANNUAl RepoRt 2015–2016 This was the year we had been working towards for so long—the year we opened our new, visually dynamic, LEED Silver certified building to the public. But before we could do that, we needed to move ourselves and our collection back into the museum building from our temporary quarters, dubbed @rt30, that had hosted us so well for two years. So we went dark for a few months at late summer 2015 during which time the art team first moved the art into the fine arts storage areas of the new building and then started to hang it in the new galleries. The rest of the teams remained at @rt30 to go through files, pack everything from books to the Museum Shop inventory Exhibition Schedule 03 and, several weeks later, joined the art team in the “mothership.” We had come full circle.

    Annual Report 2011 – 2012 ReportAnnual 2011 –2012 Mission: The mission of the Westmoreland Museum of American Art is to enrich a growing public through innovative and collaborative approaches to the collection, preservation and presentation of American art. We Value: • Our art • Our mission • Our visitors and community • Innovation, creativity, and collaboration • Integrity • Inclusionary attitudes • Quality and excellence • Providing an exemplary experience • Education and engagement • Our sense of place 3 From the President s it me, or is everyone talking about the future? Most of the talk revolves around the economy, politics and, since Iwe’re in Pittsburgh, sports. That leads me to think of a book I once read about growing up, waiting for your favorite team to win (in the book it was the Brooklyn Dodgers; for me it’s the Pirates) and the ending and beginning of significant periods in history and in life. “Wait Till Next Year,” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, doesn’t have a lot to do with American art (unless you consider baseball to be one), but it makes me think of what we are doing right now to prepare for the future of The Westmoreland; and the end of an era; and beginning of a new one. For those of us involved in the process of planning for the expansion and renovation of the Museum—my fellow Trustees, our dedicated staff, consultants and volunteers—things have unfolded rather quickly. But we realize that for those of you waiting for those big cranes and bulldozers to arrive, it might seem as if we’re moving at a snail’s pace.
