Thirty years after creating the timeless gardens at Shute House in Dorset, landscape architect Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe was tempted out of retirement to revitalise them for its new owners, in what would transpire to be his final project.
Artist and choreographer Jennifer Tee investigates the mutability and complexity of constantly overlapping cultures and identities through works that blur the line between static physical forms and potential carriers of anticipated action, ritual, and animation. As the winner of the 6th Cobra Art Prize Amstelveen, Tee was awarded an exhibition and this publication, which richly illustrates through installation and performance Tee's expressive dialogue between material experimentation and philosophical contemplation, which mingles art history, Western culture, and Eastern philosophy.Designed by Richard Niessen (Niessen & de Vries) with Margot FabrePublished by Roma Publications, 2015200 pages, 8.3 x 11.1 inchesISBN: 9789491843518

Book Synopsis Architecture Is All Over investigates architecture's simultaneous diminishment and ubiquity in the early twenty-first century. As a diagnostic and tactical guide, this collection features original texts and design proposals from emerging and established scholars and practitioners in the fields of architecture, art, the history of science, media studies, and philosophy. Together these pieces probe architecture's relationship to liminal zones and immaterial systems, reframing instability and mutability as enduring qualities that form architecture's motive core--a perspectival shift that carries with it new possibilities for architectural agency and resistance. The pieces in this book range from contrarian investigations of the opportunities inherent in scarcity, bureaucracy, and banality to projections of architecture as a mediatic practice or automated process. Case studies that propose new architectural strategies are placed alongside provocative historical examples to tease out the implications of architecture's indeterminacy in agonistic ways. In each contribution, a particular facet of the discipline's apparent obsolescence or endurance becomes a way to critically evaluate the ethical and entrepreneurial dimensions of architectural practice and theory. Taken together, the pieces in this volume reinterpret architecture's "all-over-ness" as an untapped disciplinary property rather than a temporary or terminal condition.

Accordingly your poster will have a professional appearance and a high-quality feel. Our paper choice also allows for outstanding print quality guaranteed to do justice to the artwork. ------ PRODUCT OPTIONS ------ We offer this piece as an unframed poster, a framed poster (black or white), a poster with wooden hangers, or as canvas. FRAMED If you choose this option your poster will arrive framed inside a durable and stylish pinewood frame (20-25mm thick, and 10-14mm wide), Black or White as you prefer, and ready to hang with hanging hardware included. Your poster will be shielded from the elements by transparent shatterproof plexiglass to keep it looking its best! WOODEN HANGERS If you choose this option your poster will arrive with a set of wooden hangers. This will consist of four wooden (pine wood) rails in a natural wood colour, each containing magnets, such that one set will gently clamp to the top of your poster and the other set the bottom of your poster.

CANVAS If you choose this option you will receive a canvas print mounted on a set of thick wood stretcher bars (approximately 4cm or 1.6 inches thick).

This allows us to provide FREE SHIPPING to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and most European countries! ------ IMPORTANT NOTE ------ This work was originally created in the 4:5 aspect ratio (i.e., as used for the 8x10 and 16x20 sizes), and so for all of our other listed sizes, each having a width-to-height ratio less than 80%, certain minor amounts of cropping are necessary, and in these cases manual adjustments to the positioning of the piece may have been made. Because of this, for sizes other than 8x10 and 16x20 you may notice small amounts of peripheral detail cut out in order to accommodate your aspect ratio.

Logic.”) Although this distinction between broadly “theological” and broadly “scientific” thinking may not map directly onto the modern schism between “Continental” and “Analytic” philosophy, a comparison still seems highly relevant.

This week Doodle continued working with his timeline art cards, and began Lesson 2, The Coming of Life. I don't think that I have actually posted a picture of the art history timeline cards. They are from TeachersPayTeachers for $3, I figure we will be using them long enough that they were worth laminating. There are 22 three-part cards (so 66 pieces) covering art from the stone age through modern. Right now Doodle is working with cards 1-11. For Lesson 2, I used Miss Barbara's Story of the Coming of Life- modified on the fly. I told the story a little each day and we completed it through the Permian. To coordinate with the Coming of Life, I put together a packet on cells. I went to TeachersPayTeachers and searched for free materials on cells. So, everything was free except I the Cell Graphic Organizer by Bond with James that I purchased for $3.50. If I had been on the ball, I would have asked Doodle to layout the inside material differently where he could have cut between each word. Then, he could have lifted each flap individually and used the lapbook as a study aid. The way he glued the information on the inside flaps prohibits cutting, but it is attractive and logically well-organized. I just wanted the share about cutting between the strips in case anyone saw it and thought about make one. From Montessori Print Shop, I bought the four individual items for 6 Kingdoms of Life. Although I felt like this would just be review, it was worth the < $8 to print and cut the material. It turns out that he did need a refresher for putting kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Also he didn't mind having the easier cards in his material. I also created some cards for the big five mass extinction events using information from the BBC website. The information was begging to by printed out on cards. Here is how I organized and stored the materials. With the materials primarily being flat, one cubbyhole was enough. The microscope has its own cubby, and the prepared slides and other microscope stuff is in the cubby to the left of the microscope. Doodle read The Big Picture Book by John Long, and we talked about trilobites, sea scorpions, sea lilies, and giant dragonflies. We are trying to hatch some triops. It has only been a couple of days, but so far nothing has hatched. :( I hope they do! I used the Clock of Eras and some information from fossils-facts-and-finds. I was sure to include the explanation of the color choices, because I like the thoughtfulness behind them and also because they are also the colors used on The Timeline on Life. As a giant mommy project, this week I began I creating our very own Timeline of Life. I worked alongside the story, so it is completed through the Permian. I'll do a separate post explaining what all went into creating it, but here is a picture:
