Project Information: Library Name: Camas County High School Library Library Contact: Shirley Cobble A short description about the creation. What media, computer program, or design method was used: (Place image or URL below) High School Division Name: Drew Hallowell Title: The London Eye Short Description about the Creation: Drew has made some small creations out of k’nex, so he decided to make a larger creation and he made the London Eye. He used the hand-crank rather than motorized due to a missing adaptor, but it works just as it was supposed to. He made modifications to it so it would not simply fall apart during transportation to school for the competition. It works just as it should and he is happy to say it resembles the “Ferris Wheel” the “London Eye” just as he had hoped. The original London Eye’s “entire structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). When erected in 1999 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. Its height was surpassed by the 160 m (520 ft) Star of Nanchang in 2006, the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008, and the 167.6 m (550 ft) High Roller (Las Vegas) in 2014. Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel".[9] .

Email: [email protected] Kinetic Architecture and Aerial Rides: Towards a Media Archaeology of the Revolving Restaurant View n Synne Tollerud Bull University of Oslo, Norway [email protected] Ever since the erection of the Eiffel Tower in 1889 and its overwhelming public success, cities have continued to incorporate various types of kinetic observation structures into their urban tissue, serving as an influential visual medium for the masses. In my media- archeological project, of which this text is a part, I explore how the experience and current innovation of these structures relate to the new imaging technologies that shape our contemporary media culture. In this text I will be treating the revolving restaurant as an optical device, where the attributes of elevated view combined with mechanical motion evoke a cinematic experience. In order to describe the relationship to cinema that such a view inhabits, I have turned to what I call cinéma trouvé—a cinematic experience of sites or places outside the traditional cinematic apparatus. The artist duo Bull.Miletic (2011) have written about the genealogy of the revolving restaurant view as a panoramic desire starting from the Italian veduta, the Claude glass, and the picturesque gardens of the early eighteenth century.

The Singapore Flyer Experiencing Singaporean Modernity Through Architecture, Motion and Bergson
The Singapore Flyer Experiencing Singaporean Modernity Through Architecture, Motion and Bergson Prof Iain Borden Professor of Architecture & Urban Culture Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL [email protected] 1 Abstract This article explores the post-construction history of the Singapore Flyer observation wheel as an experiential symbol of Singaporean modernity. Using an interdisciplinary intersection of history, theory, interpretation and photography (specially commissioned from Singaporean photographer Christopher Cheng), the Flyer is disclosed as a mobile architecture by which the visitor is prompted to consider their position in relation to the wheel itself, to Singapore, and to the wider world. The ideas of Henri Bergson in particular are used as a speculative tool. Keywords: Singapore, Singapore Flyer, observation wheel, modernity, Bergson, movement, experience. 2 How do we understand our visits to and experiences of fantastical pieces of architecture such as the Singapore Flyer observation wheel, overseeing the grandiose Marina Bay urban development in Singapore? The Singapore Flyer is not a building, does not stand still, has no recognised designer and resists interpretation through many of the conventional conceptual schema typically directed at the design and production of architecture rather than at its experience or post- construction history. The Flyer is also, despite its evident size and engineering achievement, rather banal, possessing little of the sophisticated design quality and spectacular imagery of the London Eye (as explored by Mark Dorrian1) or indeed of many other observation wheel rivals around the world. In addition, the Flyer is immensely popular, visited by hundreds of thousands each year and frequently cited by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) as one of the most visible symbols of Singapore's rapid modernisation.

Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:59 16 August 2016 Intersections of Space and Ethos
Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:59 16 August 2016 Intersections of Space and Ethos Pressing economic, environmental and social crises underline the need for a redefi nition of the dominant views, perspectives and values in the fi eld of architecture. The intellectual production of the last two decades has wit- nessed an impressive number of new design techniques and conceptual dis- placements refl ecting the dynamic and fl uid relation between man and his dwelling space. However, contemporary market forces are favouring the growth of a star system in architectural production based on technological innovation, spectacular imagery and formal acrobatics, and are neglecting the social, environmental and moral implications of spatial design. Perhaps the time has come to think anew about the possible critical intersections between space and ethos, not only as an answer to the negative consequences of modernity, but also as a remedy to the negative aspects of globalisation. The aim of the present collective volume is to enliven the ethical dimen- sions and dilemmas of architecture as they are shaped within the complexity of our times on two levels: the level of critical and refl ective discourse and the level of social and cultural reality occasioned by post-industrial modes of production and new technologies. Thirteen distinguished academics and researchers investigate the complex relations between architecture, space and ethics from divergent and interdisciplinary perspectives: philosophy, sociology, the humanities, the arts, landscape design, environmental design, urban design and architectural history and theory. Kyriaki Tsoukala is Professor of Architecture and Socio-Psychology of Space at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
