Résumé:
The first of its kind in Europe, Plymouth Theatre Royal's new complex provides a single location for the production of theatrical works, including the construction of sets, costumes and props, combined with rehearsal and education spaces. Sited on reclaimed land overlooking the river Plym, inland the aera is industrial, with BOC, a fish factory, oil, sewage, fertilisers, and the usual crop of tin sheds, engineering structures, and the occasional oil tank or gasholder. Into this mix PTR2 forms the thin end of a regeneration edge.

Résumé:
In the 1970s, microbiologist Lynn Margulis and atmospheric chemist James Lovelock developed the Gaia theory. Embracing the circular logic of life and engineering systems, the Gaia theory states that Earth is a self-regulating complex system in which life interacts with and eventually becomes its own environment Fusing science, mathematics, philosophy, ecology and mythology, ''Gaia and philosophy,'' with a new introduction by Dorion Sagan, challenges Western anthropocentrism to propose a symbiotic planet. In its striking philosophical conclusion, the revolutionary Gaia paradigm holds important implications not only for understanding life's past but for shaping its future.
