Summary:
"The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" examines a key experiment by The Open University to mobilize new media environments for distance and adult education. Eight episodes written by Joaquim Moreno, conversations with Tim Benton, Nick Levinson, Adrian Forty, Joseph Rykwert, and Stephen Bayley, and contributions by Nick Beech, Laura Carter, Ben Highmore, and Joseph Bedford, offer a close reading of the course A305, History of Architecture ad Design 1890-1939, which was taught through television and radio broadcasts, aired on the BBC between 1975 and 1982. As current models for producing and transmitting knowledge are being brought into question, "The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" traces a radical attempt at rethinking the mandate of higher education through mass media.

Tags: Libri per Bambini Illustrati Il petrolio, si sa, è una risorsa non rinnovabile. Ma da dove viene? Come si produce? E se dovesse finire? Ciao ciao petrolio è l’ultimo libro illustrato di Harriet Russell e presenta la questione del risparmio energetico e delle fonti rinnovabili al pubblico dei bambini.

Un modo per parlare anche ai più piccoli di sostenibilità e delle problematiche ambientali di oggi, in maniera semplice e ironica, per crescere generazioni più consapevoli che abbiano a cuore il destino di questo pianeta.

Summary:
Examinar os cruzamentos entre as culturas do livro e da arquitectura expõe eixos ao longo dos quais o conhecimento circula entre páginas e edifícios e, de novo, regressa aos livros. Seja na celebração de construções específicas ou na produção de livros singulares, as páginas e a impressão são manipuladas para transmitir ideias arquitectónicas. Ao dissecar uma quantidade substancial de livros através de cinco ferramentas conceptuais – textura, superfície, ritmo, estrutura e escala –, André Tavares analisa as qualidades materiais dos livros para avaliar a forma como se entrelaçam com o conhecimento da arquitectura. A história detalhada de Befreites Wohnen, de Sigfried Giedion, e as duas encarnações do Crystal Palace, em Hyde Park e Sydenham, oferecem um pano de fundo que nos confronta não apenas com o desenvolvimento do livro industrializado, mas também com a sua configuração enquanto poderoso instrumento de comunicação e conhecimento.
