  • Laugier Vs Durand: Revisiting Primitive Hut in the Classical Architectural Discourse
    YEDİ: SANAT, TASARIM VE BİLİM DERGİSİ KIŞ 2016, SAYI 15: 111-120 WINTER 2016, ISSUE 15: 111-120 YEDİ: SANAT, TASARIM VE BİLİM DERGİSİ Laugier vs Durand: Revisiting Primitive Hut in the Classical Architectural Discourse Ece KÜRELİ * ........................................................................................................... Abstract Finding an origin of architecture describes a process of inquiry which embodies itself in the term of ‘primitive hut’. This inquiry starts with Marcus Pollio Vitruvius from the antiquity and evolves into skepticism and rationalism of the Enlightenment Age. Quatrémere de Quincy, Viollet-le-Duc, William Chambers, Jacques-François Blondel and Claude Nicolas Ledoux, who were the important figures of the era, discussed the question of architectural origin differently. However, Marc-Antoine Laugier and Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand, another two important figures of the Enlightenment, developed different aspects to the question with regard to their arguments on developmental process of the primitive hut. Their different viewpoints require a further investigation since these two 18th century French architectural theoreticians have fictionalize their objectives of ‘ideal architecture’ and ‘true beauty’ from the metaphor of the primitive hut. Keywords: Origin of Architecture, Primitive Hut, The Enlightenment, Laugier, Durand.

  • Old Montana Prison a Self-Guided Tour Of
    A SELF-GUIDED TOUR OF OLD MONTANA PRISON 2 WELCOME Bands of outlaws and Vigilantes roamed early Montana Territory leaving a path of destruction and death. In an attempt to tame the Wild West, a prison was established in Deer Lodge in 1871. Constructed primarily with convict labor, Old Montana Prison was an active prison until 1979, when it was moved to a new site four miles west of town. The Old Montana Prison Is preserved and presented to you by Powell County Museum and Arts Foundation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. • This tour will take 45 to 60 minutes to complete. • This site is over 130 years old and some of the grounds are uneven, so please watch your step. • Please stay on the tour route. • Do not mark or remove any property under penalty of law. You are standing next to the entrance just inside the prison yard. Turn right and follow the sidewalk along the Wall. Numbered markers will indicate the attraction that is described in this booklet. 3 1896 Cell House 1. Location of 1896 Cell House An enormous red brick cell house with rounded towers loomed over the city of Deer Lodge until 1959 when it was damaged by an earthquake and torn down. In 1960, this slab was poured as a foundation for a gymnasium and classroom buildings. Both buildings were moved to the new prison. The 1896 Cell House was divided into two sections by a two-foot thick wall, which ran from the roof to the floor.

  • Supermax Isolation
    one Supermax Isolation Solitary confinement has been part of American correctional practice since the birth of the nation. Th e idea of isolating prisoners for their own good was supported in the fi nal years of the eighteenth century by such prominent fi gures as Benjamin Franklin and his friend Benjamin Rush, the pioneering psychiatrist. During that era, many Quakers viewed crime as a moral lapse and jail as a place where prisoners would be left by themselves in a cell and would be expected to search their souls about their errant ways and be “penitent” (thus the origin of the word penitentiary). But over the years, prison funding could not keep pace with a growing prison population, so this kind of solitary confi nement for the general population of prisoners was abandoned as too expensive to construct for or to maintain. Where solitary was retained, its original rehabilitative rationale was stripped away; it was now openly used merely as a dreaded punishment and deterrent within the prison and as a convenient means of separating out, for months, years, even decades, individuals whose inclusion in the general prison population might pose problems for prison management. the long history of solitary confinement in the united states Th e fi rst correctional facility in the nation to consign prisoners to single cells was the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia. It was originally built in 1773 to handle the overfl ow of prisoners from the nearby, massively overcrowded High Street Jail. Th ere were simply too many debtors, paupers, prostitutes, thieves, and ex- slaves going to jail for the jailers to fi nd the space to house them.

  • 10Th Mountain Division Hut Association Summer Hut Information Please Share with All Group Members
    10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION HUT ASSOCIATION SUMMER HUT INFORMATION PLEASE SHARE WITH ALL GROUP MEMBERS Backcountry Preparedness The huts are situated between 9,700 and 11,700 feet in elevation. A warm summer morning at a trailhead can turn quickly (and without warning) into a cold storm with lightning, hail, or even snow at higher elevations. Hypothermia and altitude sickness are common problems in the mountains, be sure that you know how to prevent, recognize and treat these potentially life-threatening conditions. Bring enough extra clothing, survival gear, food, and water to spend the night out if you do not make it to the hut (Summer Suggested Equipment List). Traveling to the Huts Hiking & Mountain Biking* There are many Forest Service roads and trails that lead to, or are close to the huts. Purchase a map through 10th Mountain, a local outdoor store, or contact the local Forest Service for more information. Start early in the day and allow plenty of time to reach the hut, and remember to accommodate the slowest member of your group. *Mountain bikes are prohibited from entering Wilderness Areas and may not be allowed on all trails, so please know and respect any restrictions and boundary locations. Vehicle Access While many of the huts are accessible by 4-wheel drive high clearance vehicles, 10th Mountain does not guarantee vehicle access, and some roads are considered more challenging than others. Since the huts were built for skiers, mountain bikers and hikers, motor vehicles are strongly discouraged except for group support. Please consider a non-motorized option to access the huts, but if driving: Purchase a map of the area and determine which road(s) are appropriate for your driver/vehicle and contact the Forest Service before your departure for information on road conditions and openings/closures.
