  • The Arch and Colonnade of the Manhattan Bridge Approach and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 25, 1975, Number 3 LP-0899 THE ARCH AND COLONNAD E OF THE MANHATTAN BRIDGE APPROACH, Manhattan Bridge Plaza at Canal Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1912-15; architects Carr~re & Hastings. Landmark Site: Borough o£Manhattan Tax Map Block 290, Lot 1 in part consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 23, 1975, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Arch and Colonnade of the Manhattan Bridge Approach and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No . 3). The hearing had been duly ad­ vertised in accordance with . the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Manhattan Bridge Approach, a monumental gateway to the bridge, occupies a gently sloping elliptical plaza bounded by Canal, Forsyth and Bayard Streets and the Bowery. Originally designed to accommodate the flow of traffic, it employed traditional forms of arch and colonnade in a monument­ al Beaux-Arts style gateway. The triumphal arch was modeled after the 17th-century Porte St. Denis in Paris and the colonnade was inspired by Bernini's monumental colonnade enframing St. Peter's Square in Rome. Carr~re &Hastings, whose designs for monumental civic architecture include the New York Public Library and Grand Army Plaza, in Manhattan, were the architects of the approaches to the Manhattan Bridge and designed both its Brooklyn and Manhattan approaches. The design of the Manhattan Bridge , the the third bridge to cross the East River, aroused a good deal of controversy.

  • COLONNADE RENOVATION Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia
    CSI Richmond – April Project Spotlight - Glavé & Holmes Architecture COLONNADE RENOVATION Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia Washington and Lee University’s front campus was designated a National Historic District in 1973, described by the Interior as “one of the most dignified and beautiful college campuses in the nation”. In the center stands the Colonnade, comprised of the five most iconic buildings in the historic district: Washington, Payne, Robinson, Newcomb, and Tucker Halls. The phased rehabilitation of the building spanned eight years. The Colonnade is deeply revered, making any change sensitive. However, restoring its vitality was paramount to the University: code deficiencies, inefficient infrastructure, and worn interiors reflected decades of use. Offices were inadequate, spaces for interaction were sparse, technology was an afterthought, and there weren’t even bathrooms on the third floors. Understanding the beloved nature of the buildings, the University established lofty goals for this undertaking. G&HA followed the guidelines from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation to preserve the major character and defining features in each building while upgrading all the MEP and life safety systems throughout. Because of space constraints, a new utility structure was designed and located across Stemmons Plaza to sit below grade. The structure’s green roof and seating areas integrate it into the site and enhance the landscape. The project achieved LEED Silver and historic tax credits. — COLONNADE

Purpose & Uses 2. Site Planning 3. Architecture 4. Checklist Purpose & Uses The purpose of the City of Coral Gables, Florida Zoning Code is to implement the Comprehensive Plan (CP) of the City pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes for the protection and promotion of the safety, health, comfort, morals, convenience, peace, prosperity, appearance and general welfare of the City and its inhabitants. ~ Zoning Code Section 1-103 Purpose of the City of Coral Gables Zoning Code PURPOSE & USE Single-Family Residential (SFR) District The Single-Family Residential (SFR) District is intended to accommodate low density, single-family dwelling units with adequate yards and open space that characterize the residential neighborhoods of the city. The city is unique not only in South Florida but in the country for its historic and archi- tectural treasures, its leafy canopy, and its well-defined and livable neighborhoods. These residential areas, with tree-lined streets and architecture of harmonious proportion and human scale, provide an oasis of charm and tranquility in the midst of an increasingly built-up metropolitan environment. The intent of the Single-Family Residential code is to protect the distinctive character of the city, while encouraging excellent architectural design that is responsible and responsive to the individual context of the city’s diverse neighborhoods. The single-family regulations, as well as the design and performance standards in the Zoning Code, seek to ensure that the renovation of residences as well as the building of residences is in accord with the civic pride and sense of stewardship felt by the citizens of Coral Gables.

  • Lighting and Shading
    Chapter 8 Lighting and Shading When we think that we \see" an object in the real world, we are not actually seeing the object itself. Instead, we are seeing light either emitted from or reflected off of that object. The pattern of the light reaching our eyes allows us to reconstruct, in our minds, the form of the object that we are looking at. Consequently, in order to simulate this image formation process in a computer, we need to be able to model lights, materials and geometry. Lights provide a source of illumination, materials determine how light is reflected off of a surface made of this material, and geometry provides the shape of the surface. 47 48 CHAPTER 8. LIGHTING AND SHADING 8.1 Point and parallel lights In the real world, all lights have a finite size and shape, and a location in space. However, we will see later that modeling the surface area of the light in a lighting algorithm can be difficult. It turns out to be much easier, and generally quite effective, to model lights as either being geometric points or as being infinitely far away. A point light has a single location in 3D space, and radiates light equally in all directions. An infinite light is considered to be so far away that all of its light rays are parallel to each other. Thus, an infinite light has no position, but there is a fixed direction for all of its rays. Such a light is sometimes called a parallel light source. uL xL cL cL Point Light Parallel Light A point light is specified by its position xL, and a parallel light is specified by its light direction vector uL.

  • Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal Vol. 11, No. 1 • Fall 2016 The Cloister and the Square: Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D. Garrard eminist scholars have effectively unmasked the misogynist messages of the Fstatues that occupy and patrol the main public square of Florence — most conspicuously, Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus Slaying Medusa and Giovanni da Bologna’s Rape of a Sabine Woman (Figs. 1, 20). In groundbreaking essays on those statues, Yael Even and Margaret Carroll brought to light the absolutist patriarchal control that was expressed through images of sexual violence.1 The purpose of art, in this way of thinking, was to bolster power by demonstrating its effect. Discussing Cellini’s brutal representation of the decapitated Medusa, Even connected the artist’s gratuitous inclusion of the dismembered body with his psychosexual concerns, and the display of Medusa’s gory head with a terrifying female archetype that is now seen to be under masculine control. Indeed, Cellini’s need to restage the patriarchal execution might be said to express a subconscious response to threat from the female, which he met through psychological reversal, by converting the dangerous female chimera into a feminine victim.2 1 Yael Even, “The Loggia dei Lanzi: A Showcase of Female Subjugation,” and Margaret D.

  • Two-Color Double-Cloth Development in Alignment with Subtractive CMYK Color Theory by Deploying Digital Technology
    Volume 11, Issue 2, 2020 Two-color Double-cloth Development in Alignment with Subtractive CMYK Color Theory by Deploying Digital Technology Ken Ri Kim, Lecturer, Loughborough University Trence Kavanagh, Professor, Loughborough University, United Kingdom ABSTRACT This study aims to introduce new aesthetic values of modern double-cloth by resolving the current restriction in woven textile coloration. Previously, realizing pictorial images on both sides of a fabric was experimented with two weft yarns and further possibility was suggested to extend an applicable number of weft yarns for which a prototype of two-color double-cloth was tested and fabricated by employing four weft yarns. In this study, therefore, reproduction of highly complicated patterns in a two-color shading effect is aimed to further develop the current double- cloth design capability. The core principle lies on weave structure design to interweave two sets of warps and wefts into separate layers whilst two distinctive images are designed in alignment with CMYK color theory to enlarge a feasible weave color scope by using the subtractive primary yarn colors. Details of digital weave pattern design and weave structure development are explained based on empirical experiment results. Keywords: Two-color double-cloth, digital weave pattern design, subtractive color theory, double- cloth weave structure, new color expression Introduction number of color resources in weft is also Digital technology employed in modern constrained (Watson & Grosicki, 1997). As a weaving greatly enhanced production result, the color accuracy level to be able to efficiency and convenience (Ishida, 1994). In correspond to high-quality imagery designs modern digital weaving, however, an has been highly limited.
