he wanted to design like a landscape gardener.e writes of the rise and the fall of the hills and dales, but especially of the movement between them. these effects he wanted to get when he put his masses together. these were notions of picturesque composition. he uses them outside and inside. when he uses his moldings and his patterns, he's modeling spaces, and he's trying to show you how to move through them. let me show you what i mean. well, you won't be surprised to learn that that door leads off to the duke's private apartments. the niche here is large, soft, intimate-- well, almost. at the other end of the hall, something different happens. a dynamic pattern on the ceiling and on the floor leads you into that alternative direction. this niche is hard and strong and elevated. adam's contrived a change of levels here which takes you up the stairs into the great staterooms beyond. the first room beyond the hall is the vestibule, a dazzling room, a riot of color and gold, proper for the first anteroom of a first peer of the realm

so you can see, the militarization of the landscape. so much of the inspiration comes during this wartime model city, as richland was called. richland was a strange place. people called it the gold coast, and the federal government, strange because the federal government owns all the property. the company, first dupont invention of the electric managed this for the federal government, and they hired an architect to design a series of standard houses that were reproduced, and they also designed the shopping centers and residential development. and then dupont built and ran the town's only hospital. the only hospital in the entire region that only residents could go to. they selected businesses through an application process and then gave them a monopoly on business and richland. so there's one grocery, one man's store, et cetera. they set prices and went out and had price checkers to make sure they were not overcharging. in the absence of any tax revenue, ge allocated federal funds for schools, parks, bus service, hospitals. workers paid

this caused disastrousffects on this landscape.also, the problems of adapting to that situation caused severe nutritional stress and disease on the human population, all leading to a disappearance of the population by around 1200 a.d. keach: like all animals, we humans increase our numbers to fill the environments we inhabit. 800 years ago, the maya overreached their capacity to gain sustenance from this land, and they disappeared. a process that required more than 1,000 years in the past is now occurring in only a few generations. today, once again, about 25,000 people live in the copan valley. there is an ancient saying throughout most of latin america -- sembramos para cosechar. it means, literally, "we sow that we may reap." it is a metaphor that explains the dramatic population growth common to most of the third world's farmlands. here the impulse to have children fits a traditional logic -- they provide the labor essential for survival in these rural villages. but these children, unlike their maya predecessors, are in no imme

few places in america still manage to embody that mythic landscape of the imagination like the state does freedom mean? it's different things to everybody, it seems, but something about this place manages to capture the overlap between a whole hell of a lot of very different cultures. old route 66 runs through new mexico like a collapsed vein, right through santa fe and albuquerque. it must have seemed like magic once. families loaded in a massive chrome and steel chariots with powerful v-8 engines and took off down that blacktop highway. they slept in whimsical motor lodges and bungalows, swam in kidney-shaped pools. then it all went redundant. route 66 was decommissioned, chopped up, largely forgotten, except by desperate and lazy travel show hosts. >> does anyone else at cnn do this, like drive around 10:15 at night looking for tacos? >> yeah, probably. >> i'll say this. the strip takes on a much more interesting look at night. you can imagine dennis hopper huffing nitrous and dismembering somebody over an unrolled tarp in any one of those sinister-looking motel rooms. cool. hopef

in his depiction of saint francis the whole landscape seems to convey the ecstasy of the saint's vision. after durer's second venetian journey he engraved some of his most intricate, complex plates. in night, death and the devil, the artist takes the equestrian statue he had seen in italy and rides it into a northern forest. here's the man of action the warrior, blind to the perils surrounding him-- death at his side, the devil and devastation in his wake. durer's radiant engraving of saint gerome is a hymn to the contemplative life showing his favorite saint in sacred study. subtlety of light and detailed depiction of the interior all recall van eyck's art. for his figure of brooding melancholy durer may have used a michelangelo sibyl as his model. melancholy is the dark side of genius. the discarded tools-- a plane and saw, instruments, and inkwell-- all convey the frustrated artist, his creativity blocked. albrecht durer was a northern genius who succeeded in assimilating the lessons of the south. the last and boldest statement of northern religious art can be found in the isenheim a

that they call their clouds the dutch mountains because the landscape is so low that really you get these massive clouds in the sky and that is the kind of important topography to talk about. this is another example by the same artist and it is a winter scene, and as i move through these images of different paintings from various national schools. i don't want to talk too much over them but to let you feel how the atmosphere and the mood is changed by the different kinds of clouds that the artists have chosen to depict. and i wanted to also var clearly indicate it was interesting when putting together this powerpoint, i don't typically like to put any words on the images on the slides because i like the images in that way to speak for themselves, i feel like your eye competes between the words and images but i felt that it was important to differentiate between what is in our current exhibition and our permanent collection. so this is in the temporary exhibition as well. and then i wanted to let the paintings and the temporary exhibition and our permanent collection speak to each other an

rubens' landscapes are suffused with a kind of nostalgia. they evoke a dream of aristocratic life a life based on the ownership of land. today it's only half an hour by car or train from the landlocked aristocratic landscape that rubens painted to the canals of the dutch netherlands. though not far apart physically these two societies were as different at heart as their landscapes. the dutch escaped from feudalism by making new land. they built dikes against the sea in a communal effort that continues today. they made their own precarious land, and their peculiar geography made them. vermeer's view of delft shows us a secure town that has confidently mastered its difficult environment. the sea shaped dutch society. but 80 bitter years of a cruel and bloody war for independence from their snish rulers created a dutch nation. in the middle of the 17th century, seven provinces of the netherlands won their struggle for independence and established the predominantly protestant dutch republic.

filmmakers are documenting the project to show the changes in the alpine landscape. six weeks earlier, they filmed the beginning of the project. this was early july. it had snow. the lodge keeper and her friends covered 1500 square meters of snow with a special fleece. it reflects the sun, protecting the glacier below it. warmth does the rest. six weeks later, the glacier around the fleece has melted away. now the fleece covers a kind of glacier table. one geologist says the work shows that glaciers are melting too much in the summer and not growing back enough in the winter. that has consequences because glaciers store a lot of water. >> the models show that in 100 years, there may be practically no more glaciers here. the summer melt off will be greatly reduced, affecting both urban and agricultural areas. in the summer, which tends to be drier anyway, water will be scarce in these areas. even those quite far away from the glaciers. >> water shortages are already a problem here. the lodge keeper needs the melt off water for cooking, washing, and cleaning. but the f

you could think of it maybe as an escape element from a landscape banding in the physical form. and in this case, this also, emphasizes more of the defined and fleeting context at work. so, well, yeah, but what do you see as a tleltening and a defined situation just by taking the cloud out of the context and presenting it in the space itself. besides the opportunity to take a lot of ideas on it. and all of the space i used is quite important and kind of most of the time we are presented this ideal space. and this was something totally different and this exhibition, i showed the work together with other works which were quite solid. and this exhibition, only the cloud exists in the form of the catalog. and in the exhibition it is gone. but, i make the clouds with the combination of smoke and (inaudible) and as we space it works different. it is more industrial space. and also, here it is like a better situation than like an art typical cloud, almost. but, boy, to do and on my research on how to make that, i run into this material called aro gel. and it is calls frozen smoke and i

these plants help militarize or landscape and to sully them and turned opportunities into different kind of communities. i'll explain what i mean, but first i want to tell you about why i got into this project. i don't know who this tourist is but she's pretty stupid. i went in 2004 to the chernobyl zone and i wrote an article about it, and an editor contacted me and wanted me to write a whole book about the chernobyl if it, a pivotal moment in history. there were a lot of books about chernobyl and i looked into it and i realize that there were these two places in the world, these two plutonium plants that spilled 10 times more radiation into the environment than the chernobyl zone. that was strange. chernobyl is a household word, but who's ever heard of hanford? so i thought maybe i would tell stories about these two places. as i stood looking into it i was considering why do we know much about it? of course chernobyl comes to mind because it was an accident. it occurred in the course of a couple of days as the cameras rolled the next couple of months. it was a camera ready defense. sam

the rainwater receives minor treatment and is used to irrigate the building's trees and landscaping.esues using water we have on-site, we're not purchasing new water and we're also not putting sewage down into the sewer system which is costs money. this is a demonstration project of 5,000 gallons a day. it is the beginning of understanding and feeling comfortable with this technology that can be scaled up into eco districts and community scale systems, campus-type systems where in those situations when the water is reused and the numbers are much higher, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 gallons a day, imagine the savings on that that you're getting. you're not purchasing freshwater and you're not using the sewer and being charged appropriately. this wastewater processing and reuse technology is cutting edge. and although it's been successfully implemented in other cities, it will be one of the first such installations in an urban office building. >> here is a city agency that treats wastewater, but they send no wastewater to the treatment facility. that says a lot. >> it's got a 12 gallon pe

the landscapes evoked those of ancient roman villa decoration but at the same time they reached intoneto to the actual barbaro lands. veronese invented landscapes based on descriptions by ancient roman writers yet he placed among his fictional ruins and temples a portrait of the villa itself. and the barbari and their servants took their place among the gods. the barbaro family itself-- the clan, its villa, its land-- its own small world becomes a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm of the larger order. palladio's plan for the villa very clearly marks each room with a number. the numbers themselves fall into very particular relationships, that is, these are harmonic relationships harmonic proportions. the numerical representation of musical harmony-- musical harmony seen metaphorically on the largest scale as the harmony of the universe. so that in effect the barbaro family was living in tune with the universe. so in the villa at maser veronese reenacts the role of a painter from ancient times. palladio becomes a new vitruvius, and barbaro a new pliny, a patron in the roman tradi
