READERS’ VIEWS - To discover a proper design magazine on the Costa Del Sol is a breath of fresh air. I am sick and tired of pseudo-fashion, pseudo- design publications, 99 percent of which are plain ads for tacky restaurants and bloody properties where no one dares to buy anyway. So when I saw a stack of the new MODERN DESIGN MAGAZINE in our building’s cafeteria, I was so glad that at last, a kick ass magazine about kick ass architecture and design has been born! - http://marbellastyle.blogspot.com/2007_11_11_archive.html -Just a quick note to say I love everything about the magazine – it’s fresh and sexy, great diversity of articles and excellent photography. I think it knocks the spots off the competition here. - Louise, New York City, NY - Bono Vox?! What the hell is he doing here?! Al Gore??? Tarantino...Where is Nikola Tesla, or Jimi Hendrix...The King, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Da Vinci, Napoleon, JFK...thumbs down!! - blogger from Southern Spain Lifestyle, By markoturso, # 27. January 2008, in reference to our Great Minds Contest - http://my.opera.com/J.es/blog/2008/01/19/design-great-minds-contest - I was recently in Marbella and got a few issues of your magazine and I think it’s fantastic. I actually live in Scotland and was wondering if it was possible to buy any previous issues of the magazine. I know I can download them off the website but would prefer an actual magazine. - N.S., Marbella, Spain We want to thank all our readers for your feedback.

    3 Flushing Meadows Corona Park Strategic Framework Plan

    Possible reconfiguration of the Meadow Lake edge with new topographic variation Flushing Meadows Corona Park Strategic Framework Plan 36 Quennell Rothschild & Partners | Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects Vision & Goals The river and the lakes organize the space of the Park. Our view of the Park as an ecology of activity calls for a large-scale reorganization of program. As the first phase in the installation of corridors of activity we propose to daylight the Flushing River and to reconfigure the lakes to create a continuous ribbon of water back to Flushing Bay. RECONFIGURE & RESTORE THE LAKES Flushing Meadows Corona Park is defined by water. Today, the Park meets Flushing Bay at its extreme northern channel without significantly impacting the ecological characteristics of Willow and Meadow Lakes and their end. At its southern end, the Park is dominated by the two large lakes, Willow Lake and Meadow Lake, created for shorelines. In fact, additional dredged material would be valuable resource for the reconfiguration of the lakes’ the 1939 World’s Fair. shoreline. This proposal would, of course, require construction of a larger bridge at Jewel Avenue and a redesign of the Park road system. The hydrology of FMCP was shaped by humans. The site prior to human interference was a tidal wetland. Between 1906 and 1934, the site was filled with ash and garbage. Historic maps prior to the ‘39 Fair show the Flushing To realize the lakes’ ecological value and their potential as a recreation resource with more usable shoreline and Creek meandering along widely varying routes through what later became the Park.

Publication Series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna Eva Blimlinger, Andrea B. Braidt, Karin Riegler (Series Eds.) VOLUME 21 On the Publication Series We are pleased to present the latest volume in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna’s publication series. The series, published in cooperation with our highly com- mitted partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes of contemporary thought about art practices and theories. The volumes comprise contribu- tions on subjects that form the focus of discourse in art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is published in the form of an anthology, edited by staff members of the academy. Authors of high international repute are invited to make contributions that deal with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activities such as international conferences, lecture series, institute- specific research focuses, or research projects serve as points of departure for the individual volumes. All books in the series undergo a single blind peer review. International re- viewers, whose identities are not disclosed to the editors of the volumes, give an in-depth analysis and evaluation for each essay. The editors then rework the texts, taking into consideration the suggestions and feedback of the reviewers who, in a second step, make further comments on the revised essays.

Abstract: The anticancer activities of Rubia cordifolia and its constituents have been reported earlier, but their influence on the crosstalk of complex cancer-related signaling metabolic pathways (i.e., transcription factors; TF) has not yet been fully investigated. In this study, R. cordifolia root extract was subjected to the cancer signaling assay based bioactivity-guided fractionation, which yielded the following compounds viz., three anthraquinones, namely alizarin (1), purpurin (2), and emodin (3); two lignans, namely eudesmin (4) and compound 5; and two cyclic hexapeptides, namely deoxybouvardin RA-V (6), and a mixture of 6+9 (RA-XXI). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopy and HRESIMS.

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22Nd Street Showcasing a Recent Gift to the Museum

    Image caption on page 3 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22nd Street showcasing a recent gift to the museum. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase (2011–15) replicates the artist’s ground-floor residence from a New York City building. Created in luminous swaths of translucent polyester, the rooms and hallways are supported by stainless-steel. In this immersive passageway of conjoined rooms, visitors pass through an ephemeral representation of the artist’s personal history. The corridor, stairs, apartment, and studio are each rendered in a single block of color, with fixtures and appliances replicated in exacting detail. Fusing traditional Korean sewing techniques with digital modeling tools, the maze-like installation of 348 West 22nd Street balances intricate construction with delicate monumentality. The installation is curated by Meghan Doherty, Curatorial Assistant, Contemporary Art at LACMA. Inspired by his own history of migration, Suh’s ethereal, malleable architecture presents an intimate world both deeply familiar and profoundly estranged. The artist’s works elicit a physical manifestation of memory, exploring ideas of personal history, cultural tradition, and belief systems in the contemporary world. Best known for his full-size fabric reconstructions of places he has lived including former residences in Seoul, Providence, New York, Berlin, and London, Suh’s creations of physicalized memory address issues of home, displacement, individuality, and collectivity, articulated through the architecture of domestic space. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase is the second work by Do Ho Suh to enter LACMA’s collection, following the artist’s Gate (2005) which was acquired by the museum in 2006.
