Although immigration is a dominant topic in contemporary culture, its discussion is often limited to the human experience, such as the crossing of borders and issues about national identity. Journeys takes a different perspective: how movements impact the environment. Examples range from the coconut that can drift freely on the ocean current and re-seed wherever it finds(...)

From 1966 to 1968, Shadrach Woods and Cedric Price, two architects and educators in Paris and London, found themselves caught up in a vortex of change in education. Like architecture, the field was searching for new models; thinkers sought to reformulate the basic problems of education, rather than simply seeking new solutions to old questions.

DR1981:0017:001 R/V
Description:
- Most of the drawings in the group DR1981:0017:001 R/V - DR1981:0017:079 R/V are by Luca Danese, with the exception of those by Giovanni Antonio Zani (DR1981:0017:034, DR1981:0017:066 R/V, DR1981:0017:67 R/V and DR1981:0017:069 R/V), and the possible exception of the lower drawing on DR1981:0017:063 R, which bears the inscription, "Giovanni Danese". The Danese drawings include sketches of buildings, fortifications, facades, temporary architecture, locks and bridges as well as maps and designs for escutcheons, facades, temporary architecture, locks and one bridge. Most of these drawings show structures in the area around Comacchio and Ferrara in northeastern Italy, but there are also a number of record drawings made as far south as Rome, and as far north as Venice. In addition, there are plans which were probably not made "in situ" for fortifications at Innsbruck, Austria (DR1981:0017:064 R) and Altenburg (Mosonmagyarovar), Hungary (DR1981:0017:018 R). The drawings range in date between 1629 (DR1981:0017:018 R) and 1641 (DR1981:0017:0017:010 V), with a number of the record drawings made in Rome inscribed "1635". The Zani drawings are undated designs for military storage facilities, including a design for a magazine at Ferrara (DR1981:0017:067 R). Many of the sheets and secondary supports have been inscribed by an unknown contemporary Italian hand, including the drawing DR1981:0017:039 which gives Danese's death date as "1672". The date at which the drawings were bound into an album has not been determined.
