Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” -Frank Lloyd Wright: 1867-1959 (American Architect and Writer, the most abundantly creative genius of American architecture. His Prairie style became the basis of 20th century residential design in the United States) __________ "...Architecture does what no other art can do: All other art forms recreate some portion of the world - a single human figure, or a two-dimensional scene on a canvas. Only architecture can create a total environment, one that literally surrounds the viewer. Architecture creates a man-made, idealized world - an environment created by the architect to fit the kind of life he sees as proper to man. Architecture conveys a view of man indirectly, not by projecting an image of man himself [as sculpture, painting and literature do] but by projecting a proper environment for man to live in."  -Sherri Tracinski -The Intellectual Activist, April 1998 ____________________________________________________________________________________ WHERE WE ARE <a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=1167479"><img alt="Visitor Map" src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/1167479.png" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.maploco.com/"></a>  Fri, 4 Jul 2008 03:03:53 -0000 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:13:00 -0000 biernes_atrece http://images.biernes.multiply.com/logo http://biernes.multiply.com 100 100 echoing silence <a href="http://fridaysnook.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/"><img class="alignleft" style="width: 110px;height: 94px;" src="http://images.biernes.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rr1@QgoKCrwAADr6XBw1/toxic.jpg?et=i1Z3kTs4QDgJ0vT39ZxEEA" border="0"></a><a style="font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;" href="http://fridaysnook.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/">echoing silence</a> is the title of my friendster blog. please click on the link or the image  on the left if you're interested to find out a little more of me and  some of the things that goes on inside my head.. thanx. thanx! <a style="font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;" href="http://fridaysnook.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/">http://fridaysnook.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/</a> http://biernes.multiply.com/journal/item/5/echoing_silence Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:13:00 -0000 Dubai 'shape-shifting skyscraper' unveiled <h1>Dubai 'shape-shifting skyscraper' unveiled</h1>(CNN) -- Ambitious plans to build a revolutionary 420-meter shape-shifting skyscraper in Dubai have been unveiled by architects. <img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/WORLD/meast/06/25/duibai.tower/art.dubai.ap.jpg" alt="Each floor of the tower would rotate independently, architects claim, creating an ever-shifting shape." border="0" height="219" width="292">Each floor of the tower would rotate independently, architects claim, creating an ever-shifting shape.<img src="http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/base_skins/baseplate/corner_wire_BL.gif" alt="" height="4" width="4"> The 80-story Dynamic Tower, described as the "world's first building in motion," will also be the first skyscraper constructed from prefabricated units, according to a press statement released by New York-based architect David Fisher's Dynamic Group.

It's called Dynamic Architecture. Isn't life about dynamics as well? Our buildings keep moving, forever changing their shape to better fit your imagination. And to better fit nature as well. Our buildings follow the sun and move to the wind. So it's nature itself that gives them a full energy supply. In return, we pay nature more respect, building our towers with a ready-made technology for a more efficient and environment friendly implementation. Our architecture rotates 360° for a wider vision of the world, of nature, of the future, of life. This is our vision.

Named for novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand (1905―1982), who is best known for her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, the Institute is headquartered in Irvine, California. ARI has a distinguished Board of Directors and a staff of about 30 employees. ARI seeks to spearhead a cultural renaissance that will reverse the anti-reason, anti-individualism, anti-freedom, anti-capitalist trends in today's culture. The major battleground in this fight for reason and capitalism is the educational institutions—high schools and, above all, the universities, where students learn the ideas that shape their lives.
