Take a stroll around the outside and inside of this masterpiece by the American Pritzker prize-winning archi- tect and enjoy the best contemporary art in its long galleries and open spaces. According to Meier himself, "the shape, configuration and light in the MACBA were inspired by the Gothic quarter and its overwhelming architectural wealth and character". This makes the open spaces and the connections between them look like an extensive network of patios in ancient convents, monaster- ies and palaces in Barcelona's medieval neighbourhood.

    “HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Book : “HERE/AFTER: Structures in Time” Authors: Paul Clemence & Robert Landon Featuring Projects by Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, and Many Others, All Photographed As Never Before. A Groundbreaking New book of Architectural Photographs and Original Essays Takes Readers on a Fascinating Journey Through Time In a visually striking new book Here/After: Structures in Time, award-winning photographer Paul Clemence and author Robert Landon take the reader on a remarkable tour of the hidden fourth dimension of architecture: Time. "Paul Clemence’s photography and Robert Landon’s essays remind us of the essential relationship between architecture, photography and time," writes celebrated architect, critic and former MoMA curator Terence Riley in the book's introduction. The 38 photographs in this book grow out of Clemence's restless search for new architectural encounters, which have taken him from Rio de Janeiro to New York, from Barcelona to Cologne. In the process he has created highly original images of some of the world's most celebrated buildings, from Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum to Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao. Other architects featured in the book include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer, Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, I.M. Pei, Studio Glavovic, Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel. However, Clemence's camera also discovers hidden beauty in unexpected places—an anonymous back alley, a construction site, even a graveyard. The buildings themselves may be still, but his images are dynamic and alive— dancing in time. Inspired by Clemence's photos, Landon's highly personal and poetic essays take the reader on a similar journey.

    ROMAN ENGINEERING on the ROADS to SANTIAGO II – the Roads of the Rioja1

    © Isaac Moreno Gallo http://www.traianvs.net/ _______________________________________________________________________________ ROMAN ENGINEERING ON THE ROADS TO SANTIAGO II – The roads of the Rioja1 Published in: Revista Cimbra 356 by the Colegio de Ingenieros Técnicos de Obras Públicas [College of Public Works Technical Engineers]. Isaac Moreno Gallo © 2004 [email protected] TRAIANVS © 2005 (Translated by Brian R. Bishop © 2005) Introduction The present-day area of the Rioja has since antiquity been crucial to East-West communications in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. The road that communicated with Aquitania (Aquitaine) from Asturica (Astorga) via Pompaelo (Pamplona) led off the road to Tarraco (Tarragón) through Caesaraugusta (Saragossa) by a deviation at Virovesca (Briviesca). It gave this area a special strategic importance in that it was traversed by the East-West Roman highway for the whole of its present length. Important Roman cities like Libia (Herramélluri-Leiva), Tritium Magallum (Tricio), Vareia (Varea), Calagurris (Calahorra) and Graccurris (Alfaro) flourished, doubtless with the help of this vital communication route. The whole of the later history of the Rioja is closely linked with this spinal column, which has not ceased being used up to today: it performs its purpose still in the form of a motorway. A large part of it served, as only it could, the stream of people and cultures created by the pilgrimage to St. James of Compostela. As a result of this combination of politics and history, of the means of communications, of royal interests, of religious foundations and various other factors, the pilgrim roads changed through the ages. The changes were more visible at the beginning, before the Way was established by the centres of religion and hospitality that were specially founded to attract and care for pilgrims.

    Rice Design Alliance Award Submission to the American Institute of Architects for Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education 14 October 2011 On October 14, 2011, the Rice Design Alliance submitted an award submission to the American Institute of Architects for “Collaborative Achievement in Research, Dissemination, and Education.” Along with our organization’s “Biography,” a “Statement of Contributions,” and 15-pages of “Exhibits,” the RDA submission was nominated by Raymond Brochstein, FAIA with five support letters from John Kaliski, AIA, Nonya Grenader, FAIA, David Lake, FAIA, Jay Baker, FAIA, and Edward M. Baum, FAIA. Captured on the following page are a few quotes from these AIA colleagues and RDA supporters. SUBMISSION COMMITTEE Barbara Amelio, Kimberly Hickson, Lonnie Hoogeboom, Craig Minor, Suzy Minor, Danny Samuels, Carrie Glassman Shoemake STAFF Kathryn Fosdick, Raj Mankad, Katie Plocheck, Linda Sylvan “The Rice Design Alliance has been at the forefront of thinking about the future of the built environment and how cities and buildings must be sustainable. RDA has a regional reach beyond Houston, including Austin, Corpus Christi, Galveston and my town, San Antonio. RDA’s audience is not limited to design professionals. It is inclusive, open, and inviting. I have friends who are developers, lawyers, teachers, and artists who routinely attend their events because of the inspirational, informative content. RDA’s commitment to excellence and their success in expanding the audience elucidates how good design benefits all of us and the natural realm. “The Rice Design Alliance was conceived by David Crane who was Dean of the Rice University School of Architecture in 1972.

    CAMINOS BURGALESES: LOS CAMINOS DEL NORTE (Siglos XV Y XVI)

    FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES Y COMUNICACIÓN DEPARTAMENTO DE CIENCIAS HISTÓRICAS Y GEOGRAFÍA TESIS DOCTORAL CAMINOS BURGALESES: LOS CAMINOS DEL NORTE (Siglos XV y XVI) Salvador Domingo Mena Dirigida por Juan José García González Catedrático de Historia Medieval de la Universidad de Burgos BURGOS, 2015 A Cari, Elena Eva Juan Javier Alex y Toño. tomo I CAMINOS BURGALESES: Los Caminos del Norte (Siglos XV y XVI) Resumen l presente trabajo desarrollado como Tesis de Doctorado se enmarca dentro del pro- grama de la Universidad de Burgos que lleva por título “La vida cotidiana en Castilla Ey León” y ha sido realizado bajo la dirección del doctor D. Juan José García González, catedrático de Historia Medieval. El contenido se identifica con los itinerarios que unían la ciudad de Burgos con los puer- tos del Cantábrico centro-oriental y, en concreto, con los de Santander, Laredo, Castro- Urdiales, Bilbao y Portugalete. El autor aspira en este plano a la restitución más fidedigna posible de sus trazados y de las variantes que fueron incorporando. Su ámbito territorial comprende la mitad septentrional de la actual provincia de Bur- gos, el tramo oriental de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria y el segmento occidental de las provincias de Álava y Vizcaya. El marco cronológico se circunscribe a los siglos XV y XVI o, si se prefiere, al período que opera como puente de paso de la Edad Media a la Edad Moderna. A pesar de que el territorio burgalés es y ha sido siempre una encrucijada de caminos, los estudios que se les han dedicado están bien lejos de cubrir las expectativas.

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    People Podcasts Episode 57: Jeffrey Beers February 2, 2021 Print Prolific designer and architect Jeffrey Beers, who recently celebrated his namesake firm’s 35th anniversary, grew up traveling the world with his parents, which instilled in him a love of hospitality and design—a skill he honed under a who’s who of mentors, including Dale Chihuly, Oscar Niemeyer, and I.M. Pei. Bar Lui, his claim to fame, had the distinction of being the longest bar in Manhattan when it was created. But Beers’ talents go beyond design. He is also known for glassblowing, what he describes as a creative counterpoint to the rigors of architecture. For the self-described rebel entrepreneur, his passion for the industry is as present today as it was more than three decades ago, cementing his legacy as one of the forefathers of hospitality design today.
