At that time I appointed Amy Kulper as Associate Editor, Design, Michelangelo Sabatino as Associate Editor, Reviews, and Sheila Crane as Associate Editor for the 68:1 issue. Since that time I have worked with the Associate Editors to develop issue 68:1, familiarized myself with the ScholarOne system, worked with Pascale Vonier to develop the JAE website, attended the August 2013 ACSA Board Meeting in Los Angeles. I am in the process of developing a Board Guide and an Author Guide. JAE 67:2 Graham Livesey and the entire production team delivered the issue on schedule. The issue is printed and its shipment is imminent. Upon completion of production, Graham Livesey stepped down as Interim Executive Editor as well as the Editorial Board. JAE 68:1 We have received a very good response to the 68:1 theme (design+) and over seventy essays have either been reviewed or are in process. Two Design as Scholarship essays were shifted to 68:1 from 67:2 due to page count. Four Opinion pieces have been solicited from Kenny Cupers, Renèe Cheng, Jeremy Till and Mass Design. Fifteen reviews have been commissioned.

Franca Trubiano has coordinated the event at PennDesign. This meeting will welcome new board members: Franca Trubiano, Georgeen Theodore, and Ivan Rupnik. Grace La and Michelangelo Sabatino have been appointed for an additional term. A decision regarding the “best-of” articles will be submitted to ACSA following the meeting for both Design as Scholarship and Scholarship of Design submissions. A call for theme proposals was issued in August. The response was robust. Forty proposals were received. The theme for 68:2 will be chosen at the Fall Board Meeting. Project Projects was hired to develop a new design for the JAE to include a new format, cover design, logo, and templates (including, but not limited to, fonts, margins, page numbering, titling, image sizing, etc.). A committee was struck by Graham Livesey in Spring 2013 to include Mason White, Nicholas de Monchaux, and Pascale Vonier to select a designer. I replaced Graham Livesey at the end of August once discussions began with Project Projects. Layouts will be presented to the Editorial Board at the Fall Meeting. Participation in the 2014 ACSA National meeting in Miami will be discussed. Potential new Board Members will be discussed. A list of potential new members will be forwarded to ACSA for nomination prior to he 2014 ACSA National meeting in Miami. Three Committees will be established (Design, Theme, Reviews) to work with the Associate Editors. Taylor & Francis A production meeting will be held with Taylor & Francis to clarify and streamline the production workflow. The new design will be presented to Taylor & Francis. Online Reviews As part of the initiative to develop web content, the first online reviews will go live in October. I anticipate more content in the future. Board Guide An Editorial Board Guide is in process. The intention of the Board Guide is to outline policies and procedures, clearly articulate Board Member expectations, and make participation on the board more accessible. It is intended that the guide will be online by the ACSA National Meeting in Miami in 2014. A working document was sent to the entire Editorial Board. Author Guide An Author Guide is in process. The intention of the Author Guide is to articulate expectations and the process for submission to the JAE. To streamline production, the guide will include a style guide, templates and image permission form. It is intended that the guide will be online prior to the production of issue 68:2. 5 Associate Editor, Design: Report Amy Kulper The provocative call written by the theme editors produced a robust response. Overall, we received twenty-three submissions, and one additional submission (which seemed neither to fit the Scholarship of Design category, nor the Design as Scholarship category). Of the Twenty-three, just three submissions were for the new Pre- Fabrications column, so part of the discussion of the Design Committee in this meeting will be devoted to catalyzing a more fulsome response to this call. On the positive side, numerous inquiries about the Pre-Fabrications call (about ten in all) were received the week after the posted due date, and I am keeping a list of these contacts to whom I will send a reminder when we issue our next call. I will also solicit names of possible future contributors from the board, and write follow-up emails encouraging new submissions. The Design Committee is currently comprised of six members of the board, returning members Grace La, Marshall Brown, Nicholas de Monchaux, and Aaron Sprecher, and new members Georgeen Theodor and Ivan Rupnik whom we are welcoming at this meeting. The Design Committee was divided into two groups, and each group reviewed ten submissions. For the peer review of the Pre-Fabrications submissions, three groups of two Design Committee Members each reviewed one manuscript. Kevin Mitchell created a dropbox folder for us, ensuring that even though the members of the committee were only reviewing ten submissions, they would have an overall view of the quality of the competition. With respect to the Pre-Fabrications submissions, these were reviewed using the Design as Scholarship review form, but I will poll the committee members at this meeting to see whether or not they thought this form was adequate for the review of material that is differently formatted. As the Design Committee deliberations are conducted jury-style at the meetings, there are no statistics available at the time of this report for the number of submissions accepted for the issue. We do, however, have two submissions accepted for publication in issue 67:2 but held over because the issue significantly overran its page count – both of these submissions fit the Design+ theme well. In conversation with Marc and Sheila, it was decided that because the issue is devoted to design, we might feature a larger number of design submissions, if the committee thinks that there are ample submissions of sufficiently high quality. In keeping with the theme of the Design+ call, the committee decided at our last meeting to activate the Design Frameworks most closely aligned with the theme, and so we selected Visible Data: Information Ecologies and Exhibitionists: Curators, Collectors, and Connoisseurs. Nicholas de Moncahux took the lead in the Visible Data category, and invited Sha Hwang of Trulia, and Shawn Allen of Stamen to act as Guest Curators. Aaron Sprecher led the Exhibitionists charge, inviting Hans Ibeling (independent scholar) and Frabrizio Gallanti of the CCA to act as Guest Curators.

Newport, M.A., B.D., B.Litt. 259 Reviews 263 Editorial We record with gratitude the great service to the Church and to our Society of the Rev. Roy Drummond Whitehorn, M.A., D.D., M.B.E., who died in November 1976. He made his mark as professor and principal in Westminster College, Cambridge, and as a leading figure in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of England of which he was Moderator in 1950. He was also Moderator of the Free Church Federal Council and was one of the early architects of the United Reformed Church. He was President of the Presbyterian Historical Society and was for a time editor of its Journal. He was unable to take much part in the formation of our Society but it had his full support and good wishes. We record with equal gratitude the service of the Rev. William Gordon Robinson, M.A., Ph.D., who died in February 1977. Gordon Robinson ministered in Gatley and Oldham, but it was as Principal of Lancashire (later Northern) College in Manchester, from 1943 to 1968, that he became most widely known.

  • Kahn at Penn
    Kahn at Penn Louis I. Kahn is widely known as an architect of powerful buildings. But although much has been said about his buildings, almost nothing has been written about Kahn as an unconventional teacher and philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. Teaching was vitally important for Kahn, and through his Master’s Class at the University of Pennsylvania, he exerted a significant effect on the future course of architectural practice and education. This book is a critical, in-depth study of Kahn’s philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy. It is the first extensive and comprehensive investi- gation of the Kahn Master’s Class as seen through the eyes of his graduate students at Penn. James F. Williamson is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Memphis and has also taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Drexel University, and Rhodes College. He holds two Master of Architecture degrees from Penn, where he was a student in Louis Kahn’s Master’s Class of 1974. He was later an Associate with Venturi, Scott Brown, and Associates. For over thirty years he practiced as a principal in his own firm in Memphis with special interests in religious and institutional architecture. Williamson was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in recognition of his contributions in architectural design and education. He is the recipient of the 2014 AIA Edward S. Frey Award for career contribu- tions to religious architecture and support of the allied arts. Routledge Research in Architecture The Routledge Research in Architecture series provides the reader with the latest scholarship in the field of architecture.

  • BIO POESY Is Quickly Becoming One of the Most Exciting New Canadian
    POSEY BIO POESY is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new Canadian voices. Influenced by innovative enigmatic artists like Kate Bush and Freddie Mercury, as well as 90s alternative rock queens PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, and Alanis Morissette, the Toronto-based artist has formed a gritty and unmistakable sound that demands to be heard. Pairing inspiration from her favourite novels with vulnerable confessions from her own life, POESY’s dark and powerful alt-rock rhythms makes it possible to dance and cry and wonder and hope all at once. During her 2018 participation in CTV’s The Launch, POESY collaborated with composer/ producer Stephan Moccio (Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne) to release the top 40 single Soldier of Love. The track drew comparisons to powerful rock front-women Amy Lee and Florence Welch and set the stage for POESY to be a new alternative voice to watch. She signed a major label deal with Big Machine Label Group in May (2018). Following the national success of the single, POESY went on to give spellbinding performances at several Canadian music festivals. POESY has since joined forces with acclaimed producer and now-artist manager, Gavin Brown (Metric, Three Days Grace, Billy Talent) to build on her sound and artistic vision. The two have built up an eclectic, intensely emotional body of work to be released soon. Strange Little Girl is POESY’s first single from the project - an unapologetic feminist anthem, uniting unusual girls to step into the spotlight. POESY is a mirror for her audience; a place where they can see their own struggles, fears, desires, and dreams reflected back in an empowering larger than life performance to be shared together.

We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why Cambridgeshire? We are conducting an electoral review of Cambridgeshire County Council as the Council currently has high levels of electoral inequality where some councillors represent many more or many fewer voters than others. This means that the value of each vote in county council elections varies depending on where you live in Cambridgeshire. Overall, 32% of divisions currently have a variance of greater than 10%. Our proposals for Cambridgeshire Cambridgeshire County Council currently has 69 councillors.

D/2000/7515/17 ISBN 90-5682-248-9 For my grandmother Acknowledgements Five years ago, I had to decide on a subject for my graduate’s thesis. Professor Herman Neuckermans made the suggestion to have a look at Case-Based Design, at that time a ‘hot topic’ in the field of CAAD. Computers were not exactly what I would call my cup of tea, but I nevertheless accepted his suggestion – not in the last place because it would enable me to spend one semester at the ETH in Zürich. Although the thesis became an unqualified success in terms of scores, it left me with an uneasy feeling.
