Summary:
Founded in North Carolina in 1933, Black Mountain College ranks alongside the Bauhaus as one of the most innovative schools of the 20th century. Inspired by the forward-thinking pedagogical ideas of philosopher John Dewey, the experimental, interdisciplinary college combined the ideas of radical European modernism with the philosophy of American pragmatism and teaching methods designed to encourage personal initiative as well as the social competence of the individual. Visual arts, economics, physics, dance, architecture and music were all taught on an equal footing, and teachers and students lived together in a democratically organized community. The second director of the school was Josef Albers, and John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Walter Gropius, Franz Kline and Charles Olson were among its teachers. As a result, the college played a foundational role in the development of a range of avant-garde practices, and exerted an enormous influence on the development of the arts in the second half of the 20th century.

Summary:

The tightly scheduled 1968 Apollo 8 mission was focused on the first lunar orbit, but "Earthrise"--the image of a cloudy blue Earth rising over a starkly monochromatic lunar surface--stunned everyone. Astronaut Frank Borman called it "the most beautiful, heart-catching sight of my life." NASA, at the forefront of the "astrofuturist" movement that saw humanity's future out among the stars, was unprepared for the paradoxical reaction "Earthrise" provoked. Rather than turning people's eyes on a future in space, it refocused them on Earth.

Yet from the moment that people started to occupy these places, the design has changed with substantial additions and alterations. Can architects and city-planners anticipate unplanned activities, contributions from citizens, along with changing political, economic and cultural conditions? The International New Town Institute (INTI) situated in the young Dutch town of Almere, conducts research into the development of new towns. In this book the institute searches for the relationships between planned and un-planned cities.

Luogo, mappa, limite, storia, varco, tatto, setaccio, metafora: la pelle contiene in sé una molteplicità di caratteristiche e funzioni, è il luogo d'incontro tra fenomeni fisici e psichici, confine fra lo stato interiore ed esteriore della persona. Dalla chirurgia all'agopuntura, dalla body art alle pratiche rituali come il tatuaggio, la pelle è il segno del nostro passaggio nel mondo, e ne porta con sé i significati e le tracce. Nei propri laboratori di Disegno Industriale presso l'Università di San Marino, Riccardo Blumer invita a confrontarsi con il materiale "pelle", capirne la logica e provocare la curiosità del progettare. Risultato di queste riflessioni, riportate in questo volume grazie ai testi dello stesso Blumer, Gaddo Morpurgo (Università di San Marino) e Luigi Zanzi (Università dell'Insubria), sono oggetti nati non per essere "prodotti", ovvero, non prototipi di possibile merce. Sono ricerca, esperimenti di intreccio di forma e materia, puri punti di partenza del pensiero.
