Frank GehryFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Owen Gehry, CC (born Frank[1] Owen Goldberg;

February 28, 1929) is a Canadian American Pritzker Prize-

winning architect based in Los Angeles, California.

His buildings, including his private residence, have become

tourist attractions. His works are often cited as being among

the most important works of contemporary architecture in the

2010 World Architecture Survey, which led Vanity Fair to

label him as "the most important architect of our age".[2]

Gehry's best-known works include the titanium-covered

Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; MIT Stata Center in

Cambridge, Massachusetts; Walt Disney Concert Hall in

downtown Los Angeles; Experience Music Project in Seattle;

Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis; Dancing House in

Prague; the Vitra Design Museum and MARTa Museum in

Germany; the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto; the

Cinémathèque française in Paris; and 8 Spruce Street in New

York City. But it was his private residence in Santa Monica,

California, which jump-started his career, lifting it from the

status of "paper architecture" – a phenomenon that many

famous architects have experienced in their formative

decades through experimentation almost exclusively on paper

before receiving their first major commission in later years.

Gehry is also the designer of the future Dwight D.

Eisenhower Memorial.[3]

Personal life

Gehry was born Frank Owen Goldberg[1] on February 28, 1929, in Toronto, Ontario. His parents were Polish

Jews.[4] A creative child, he was encouraged by his grandmother, Mrs. Caplan, with whom he would build little

cities out of scraps of wood.[5] His use of corrugated steel, chain link fencing, unpainted plywood and other

utilitarian or "everyday" materials was partly inspired by spending Saturday mornings at his grandfather's

hardware store. He would spend time drawing with his father and his mother introduced him to the world of art.

"So the creative genes were there," Gehry says. "But my father thought I was a dreamer, I wasn't gonna amount

to anything. It was my mother who thought I was just reticent to do things. She would push me."[6]

He was given the Hebrew name "Ephraim" by his grandfather but only used it at his bar mitzvah.[1]

In 1947 Gehry moved to California, got a job driving a delivery truck, and studied at Los Angeles City College,

eventually to graduate from the University of Southern California's School of Architecture. According to Gehry:

“I was a truck driver in L.A., going to City College, and I tried radio announcing, which I wasn't very good at. I

tried chemical engineering, which I wasn't very good at and didn't like, and then I remembered. You know,

somehow I just started racking my brain about, "What do I like?" Where was I? What made me excited? And I

remembered art, that I loved going to museums and I loved looking at paintings, loved listening to music. Those

things came from my mother, who took me to concerts and museums. I remembered Grandma and the blocks,

and just on a hunch, I tried some architecture classes.” [7] After graduation from USC in 1954, he spent time

away from the field of architecture in numerous other jobs, including service in the United States Army. He

studied city planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design for a year, leaving before completing the

program. In 1952, still known as Frank Goldberg, he married Anita Snyder, who he claims was the one who told

him to change his name, which he did, to Frank Gehry. In 1966 he and Snyder divorced. In 1975 he married

Berta Isabel Aguilera, his current wife. He has two daughters from his first marriage, and two sons from his

second marriage.

Having grown up in Canada, Gehry is a huge fan of ice hockey. He began a hockey league in his office, FOG

(which stands for Frank Owen Gehry), though he no longer plays with them.[citation needed] In 2004, he designed

the trophy for the World Cup of Hockey.[citation needed] Gehry holds dual citizenship in Canada and the United

States. He lives in Santa Monica, California, and continues to practice out of Los Angeles.

Architectural style

Spain

Much of Gehry's work falls within the style of Deconstructivism, which

is often referred to as post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go

beyond current modalities of structural definition. In architecture, its

application tends to depart from modernism in its inherent criticism of

culturally inherited givens such as societal goals and functional

necessity. Because of this, unlike early modernist structures,

Deconstructivist structures are not required to reflect specific social or

universal ideas, such as speed or universality of form, and they do not

reflect a belief that form follows function. Gehry's own Santa Monica

residence is a commonly cited example of deconstructivist architecture,

as it was so drastically divorced from its original context, and in such a

manner as to subvert its original spatial intention.

Gehry is sometimes associated with what is known as the "Los Angeles

School," or the "Santa Monica School" of architecture. The

appropriateness of this designation and the existence of such a school,

however, remains controversial due to the lack of a unifying philosophy

or theory. This designation stems from the Los Angeles area's producing

a group of the most influential postmodern architects, including such

notable Gehry contemporaries as Eric Owen Moss and Pritzker Prize-

winner Thom Mayne of Morphosis, as well as the famous schools of

architecture at the Southern California Institute of Architecture

(co-founded by Mayne), UCLA, and USC where Gehry is a member of

the Board of Directors.

Gehry’s style at times seems unfinished or even crude, but his work is

consistent with the California ‘funk’ art movement in the 1960s and

early 1970s, which featured the use of inexpensive found objects and

non-traditional media such as clay to make serious art[citation needed].

Gehry has been called "the apostle of chain-link fencing and corrugated

metal siding".[8] However, a retrospective exhibit at New York's

Whitney Museum in 1988 revealed that he is also a sophisticated

classical artist, who knows European art history and contemporary

sculpture and painting[citation needed].

Reception of Gehry's work is not always positive. Art historian Hal Foster reads Gehry's architecture as,

primarily, in the service of corporate branding.[9] Criticism of his work includes complaints that the buildings

waste structural resources by creating functionless forms, do not seem to belong in their surroundings and are

apparently designed without accounting for the local climate.[10]

Other notable aspects of career

Awards

Gehry was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of

Architects (AIA) in 1974, and he has received many national, regional,

and local AIA awards, including AIA Los Angeles Chapter Gold Medal.

He presently serves on the steering committee of the Aga Khan Award

for Architecture. Gehry was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize at

the Tōdai-ji Buddhist Temple in 1989. The Pritzker Prize serves to honor

a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those

qualities of talent, vision, and commitment, which has produced

consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built

environment through the art of architecture. In 1999, he was awarded

the AIA Gold Medal "in recognition of a significant body of work of

lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture." He

accepted the 2007 The Henry C. Turner Prize for Innovation in

Construction Technology from the National Building Museum on behalf

of Gehry Partners and Gehry Technologies.

Academia

Gehry is a Distinguished Professor of Architecture at Columbia

University and teaches advanced design studios at the Yale School of Architecture. He has received honorary

doctoral degrees from Occidental College, Whittier College, the Southern California Institute of Architecture,

the University of Toronto, the California College of Arts and Crafts, the Technical University of Nova Scotia, the

Rhode Island School of Design, the California Institute of the Arts, and the Otis Art Institute at the Parsons

School of Design. In 1982 and 1989, he held the Charlotte Davenport Professorship in Architecture at Yale

University. In 1984, he held the Eliot Noyes Chair at Harvard University. In January 2011, he joined the

University of Southern California (USC) faculty, as the Judge Widney Professor of Architecture.[11]

Budgets

Gehry has gained a reputation for taking the budgets of his clients seriously, in an industry where complex and

innovative designs like Gehry's typically go over budget. Sydney Opera House, which has been compared with

the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in terms of architectural innovation, had a cost overrun of 1,400 percent. It

was therefore duly noted when the Guggenheim Bilbao was constructed on time and budget. In an interview in

Harvard Design Magazine[12] Gehry explained how he did it. First, he ensured that what he calls the

"organization of the artist" prevailed during construction, in order to prevent political and business interests from

interfering with the design. Second, he made sure he had a detailed and realistic cost estimate before proceeding.

Third, he used CATIA (computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application) and close collaboration with

the individual building trades to control costs during construction.

However, not all of Gehry's projects have gone smoothly. The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los

Angeles resulted in over 10,000 RFIs (requests for information) and was $174 million over budget. Furthermore,

there was a dispute which ended with a $17.8 million settlement.[13]

Celebrity status


5 dari 9 10/12/2011 8:07 PM

Gehry is considered a modern architectural icon and celebrity, a major "Starchitect" — a neologism describing

the phenomenon of architects attaining a sort of celebrity status. Although Gehry has been a vocal opponent of

the term, it usually refers to architects known for dramatic, influential designs that often achieve fame and

notoriety through their spectacular effect. Other notable celebrity architects include Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid,

Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, Rem Koolhaas, and Norman Foster. Gehry came to the attention of the public in

1972 with his "Easy Edges" cardboard furniture. He has appeared in Apple's black and white "Think Different"

pictorial ad campaign that associates offbeat but revered figures with Apple's design philosophy. He even once

appeared as himself in The Simpsons in the episode "The Seven-Beer Snitch", where he parodied himself by

intimating that his ideas are derived by looking at a crumpled paper ball. He also voiced himself on the TV show

Arthur, where he helped Arthur and his friends design a new treehouse. Steve Sample, President of the

University of Southern California, told Gehry that "...After George Lucas, you are our most prominent

graduate." In 2009, Gehry designed a hat for pop star Lady Gaga, reportedly by using his iPhone.[14]

Documentary

In 2005, veteran film director Sydney Pollack, a friend of Gehry's, made the documentary Sketches of Frank

Gehry with appreciative comments by Philip Johnson, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, and Dennis Hopper, and

critical ones by Hal Foster supplementing dialogue between Gehry and Pollack about their work in two

collaborative art forms with considerable commercial constraints and photography of some buildings Gehry

designed. It was released on DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on August 22, 2006, together with an

interview of Sydney Pollack by fellow director Alexander Payne and some audience questions following the

premiere of the film.

Fish and furniture

Gehry is very much inspired by fish. Not only do they appear in his buildings, he created a line of jewelry,

household items, and sculptures based on this motif. "It was by accident I got into the fish image", claimed

Gehry. One thing that sparked his interest in fish was the fact that his colleagues are recreating Greek temples.

He said, "Three hundred million years before man was fish....if you gotta go back, and you're insecure about

going forward...go back three hundred million years ago. Why are you stopping at the Greeks? So I started

drawing fish in my sketchbook, and then I started to realize that there was something in it."[15]

Standing Glass Fish is just one of many works featuring fish which Gehry has created. The gigantic fish is made

of glass plates and silicone, with the internal supporting structure of wood and steel clearly visible. It soars

above a reflecting pool in a glass building built especially for it, in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Another

huge Gehry fish sculpture dominates a public garden in front of the Fishdance Restaurant in Kobe, Japan.

In addition to architecture, Gehry has made a line of furniture, jewelry, various household items, sculptures, and

even a glass bottle for Wyborowa Vodka. His first line of furniture, produced from 1969–1973, was called "Easy

Edges", constructed out of cardboard. Another line of furniture released in the spring of 1992 is "Bentwood

Furniture". Each piece is named after a different hockey term. He was first introduced to making furniture in

1954 while serving in the U.S. Army, where he designed furniture for the enlisted soldiers. Gehry claims that

making furniture is his "quick fix".[16]

Software development

Gehry's firm was responsible for innovation in architectural software. His firm spun off another firm called

Gehry Technologies which developed Digital Project.

Dancing HouseFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dancing House or Dancing Building or Ginger &

Fred (Czech: Tančící dům) is the nickname given to the

Nationale-Nederlanden building in downtown Prague, Czech

Republic at Rašínovo nábřeží 80, 120 00 Praha 2. It was

designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in

co-operation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry

on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had

been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The

building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996.[1]

The very

non-traditional design

was controversial at

the time. Czech

president Václav

Havel, who lived for

decades next to the

site, had supported it,

hoping that the

building would

become a center of

cultural activity.

Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and

Ginger Rogers - the house resembles a pair of dancers) the

house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art

Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. Others have

nicknamed it "Drunk House".

On the roof is a French restaurant with views of the city. The

building's other tenants include several multinational firms.

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) (French: Musée desbeaux-arts de l'Ontario) is an art museum in Toronto's

Downtown Grange Park district, on Dundas Street West

between McCaul Street and Beverley Street.

Its collection includes more than 68,000 works spanning the

1st century to the present-day. The gallery has 45,000 square

metres (480,000 sq ft) of physical space. It includes the

world's largest collection of Canadian art, which depicts the

development of Canada's heritage from pre-Confederation to

the present. Indeed, works by Canadian artists make up more

than half of the AGO's collection. The museum also has an

impressive collection of European art, including the most

important collection of Medieval and Renaissance decorative

arts outside Europe and the United States, major works by

Tintoretto, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Peter Paul Rubens,

Rembrandt van Rijn, Thomas Gainsborough, Anthony van

Dyck, Emile Antoine Bourdelle, and Frans Hals, and works

by other renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Auguste

Rodin, Vincent Van Gogh, and Edgar Degas. In addition to

these, the AGO also has one of the most significant

collections of African art in North America, as well as a

contemporary art collection illustrating the evolution of

modern artistic movements in Canada, the United States, and

Europe, including works by Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg,

and Jenny Holzer. Finally, the AGO is home to the Henry

Moore Sculpture Centre, which houses the largest public

collection of works by this British sculptor. Moore's bronze

work, Two Large Forms (1966–1969) greets visitors at themuseum's north façade, at the intersection of Dundas and

McCaul Streets.

incorporated the institution as the Art Museum of Toronto. TheLegislative Assembly of Ontario subsequently enacted An Act respectingthe Art Museum of Toronto in 1903. The museum was renamed the ArtGallery of Toronto in 1919, and subsequently the Art Gallery of Ontarioin 1966.

The current location of the AGO dates to 1910, when the gallery was

willed the estate known as the Grange, a historic Georgian manor built in

1817, upon the death of Goldwin Smith. In 1911, the museum leased

lands to the south of the manor to the City of Toronto in perpetuity so as

to create Grange Park. In 1920, the museum also allowed the Ontario

College of Art to construct a building on the grounds.

The museum's first formal exhibitions were opened in the Grange in 1913. In 1916, the museum decided to

begin construction of a small portion of a planned new gallery building. Designed by Pearson and Darling in the

Beaux-Arts style, excavation of the new facility began in 1916, and the first galleries opened in 1918. Expansion

throughout the 20th century added various galleries, culminating in 1993, which left the AGO with 38,400

square metres (413,000 sq ft) of interior space.

As the institution and its collections grew, major benefactors included Harris Henry Fudger, Walter C. Laidlaw,

Joey Tanenbaum, George Weston, Frank Porter Wood, Edward Rogers Wood, Ayala Zacks and the Eaton

family.

Transformation AGO

Under the direction of its CEO Matthew

Teitelbaum, the AGO embarked on a $254

million (later increased to $276 million)

redevelopment plan by architect Frank

Gehry in 2004, called TransformationAGO. The new addition would requiredemolition of the 1992 Post-Modernist

wing by Barton Myers and Kuwabara

Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects

(KPMB). Although Gehry was born in

Toronto, and as a child had lived in the

same neighbourhood as the AGO, the

expansion of the gallery represented his first work in Canada. Gehry was commissioned to expand and revitalize

the AGO, not to design a new building; as such, one of the challenges he faced was to unite the disparate areas

of the building that had become a bit of a "hodgepodge" after six previous expansions dating back to the

1920s.[4]

Kenneth Thomson was a major benefactor of Transformation AGO, donating much of his art collection to the

gallery as well as providing $50 million towards the renovation. Thomson died in 2006, two years before the

project was complete.

The project initially drew some criticism. As an expansion, rather than a new creation, concerns were raised that

the new AGO would not look like a Gehry signature building,[5] and that the opportunity to build an entirely

new gallery, perhaps on Toronto's waterfront, was being squandered. During the course of the redevelopment

planning, board member and patron Joey Tanenbaum temporarily resigned his position due to concerns over

donor recognition, design issues surrounding the new building, as well as the cost of the project. The public rift

was subsequently healed.[6]

The AGO reopened in November 2008, with the

transformation project having increased the art

viewing space by 47%. Notable elements of the

expanded building include a new entrance aligned

with the gallery's historic Walker Court and the

Grange, and a new four-storey south wing, clad in

glass and blue titanium, overlooking both the

Grange and Grange Park. The outwardly most

characteristic element of the design however is a

new glass and wood façade - the Galleria Italia -spanning 180 metres (590 ft) along Dundas Street;

it was named in recognition of a $13million

contribution by 26 Italian-Canadian families of

Toronto, a funding consortium led by Tony

Gagliano, who currently serves as the President of

the AGO's Board of Trustees.

The completed expansion received wide acclaim,

notably for the restraint of its design. An editorial

in the Globe and Mail called it a "restrained masterpiece", noting: "The proof of Mr. Gehry's genius lies in his

deft adaptation to unusual circumstances. By his standards, it was to be done on the cheap, for a mere

$276-million. The museum's administrators and neighbours were adamant that the architect, who is used to

being handed whole city blocks for over-the-top titanium confections, produce a lower-key design, sensitive to

its context and the gallery's long history."[7] The Toronto Star called it "the easiest, most effortless and relaxed

architectural masterpiece this city has seen",[8] with the Washington Post commenting: "Gehry's real

accomplishment in Toronto is the reprogramming of a complicated amalgam of old spaces. That's not sexy, like

titanium curves, but it's essential to the project."[5] The architecture critic of the New York Times wrote: "Ratherthan a tumultuous creation, this may be one of Mr. Gehry’s most gentle and self-possessed designs. It is not a

perfect building, yet its billowing glass facade, which evokes a crystal ship drifting through the city, is a masterly

example of how to breathe life into a staid old structure. And its interiors underscore one of the most underrated

dimensions of Mr. Gehry’s immense talent: a supple feel for context and an ability to balance exuberance with

delicious moments of restraint. Instead of tearing apart the old museum, Mr. Gehry carefully threaded new

ramps, walkways and stairs through the original."[9]

Collection X

In keeping with web 2.0 trends, the AGO has initiated a social media website called Collection X, which

provides users with a space to share ideas about life and art. Collection X showcases the work of contemporary

photographers and visual artists and gives users the ability to discuss the works, create online exhibitions and

upload their own content.

Guggenheim Museum BilbaoFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern

and contemporary art, designed by Canadian-American

architect Frank Gehry, built by Ferrovial[3], and located in

Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. It is built alongside the

Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the

Atlantic Coast. The Guggenheim is one of several museums

belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The

museum features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by

Spanish and international artists.

One of the most admired works of contemporary

architecture, the building has been hailed as a "signal moment

in the architectural culture", because it represents "one of

those rare moments when critics, academics, and the general

public were all completely united about something."[4] The

museum was the building most frequently named as one of

the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010

World Architecture Survey among architecture experts.[4]

The museum by night, November 2007

The curves on the building were to appear random. The architect said that

"the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light".[5] When it

was opened to the public in 1997, it was immediately hailed as one of the

world's most spectacular buildings in the style of Deconstructivism,

although Gehry does not associate himself with that architectural

movement. Architect Philip Johnson called it "the greatest building of our

time".[6]

The museum's design and construction serve as an object lesson in Gehry's

style and method. Like many of Gehry's other works, it has a structure that

consists of radically sculpted, organic contours. Sited as it is in a port town,

it is intended to resemble a ship. Its brilliantly reflective titanium panels

resemble fish scales, echoing the other organic life (and, in particular,

fish-like) forms that recur commonly in Gehry's designs, as well as the river

Nervión upon which the museum sits. Also in typical Gehry fashion, the

building is uniquely a product of the period's technology. Computer Aided

Three Dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) and visualizations were

used heavily in the structure's design.

Computer simulations

of the building's structure made it feasible to build shapes

that architects of earlier eras would have found nearly

impossible to construct. While the museum is a spectacular

monument from the river, at street level it is quite modest

and does not overwhelm its traditional surroundings.[citation needed]

The museum was opened as part of a

revitalization effort for the city of Bilbao and for the Basque

Country. Almost immediately after its opening, the

Guggenheim Bilbao became a popular tourist attraction,

drawing visitors from around the globe.[6] It was widely

credited with "putting Bilbao on the map" and subsequently

inspired other structures of similar design across the globe,

such as the Cerritos Millennium Library in Cerritos,

California.

The building was constructed on time and budget, which is rare for architecture of this type. In an interview in

Harvard Design Magazine[7] Gehry explained how he did it. First, he ensured that what he calls the

"organization of the artist" prevailed during construction, in order to prevent political and business interests from

interfering with the design. Second, he made sure he had a detailed and realistic cost estimate before proceeding.

Third, he used CATIA and close collaboration with the individual building trades to control costs during

construction.

Exhibitions

The Matter of Time by Richard

Serra in the Arcelor Gallery

Tulips by Jeff Koons

The exhibitions in the museum itself change often, the museum hosts

thematic exhibitions, centered for example on Chinese or Russian

art.[citation needed] The museum's permanent collection concerns 20th

century art—traditional paintings and sculptures are a minority compared to

installations and electronic forms. The highlight of the collection, and its

only permanent exhibit, is The Matter of Time, a series of weathering steel

sculptures designed by Richard Serra and housed in the 430-foot (130 m)

Arcelor Gallery (formerly known as the Fish Gallery but renamed in 2005

for the steel manufacturer that sponsored the project[8]). The collections

usually highlight Avant-garde art, 20th century abstraction, and

non-objective art.[9]

Transport

There is a tramway stop called Guggenheim 100 meters away from the

museum. Line 18 of the bus system also has a nearby stop. The museum is

located 500 meters north of Moyua station on the Bilbao Metro.

Media impact

The building can be seen in the 1999 James Bond film The World

Is Not Enough in the opening sequence where Bond (played by

Pierce Brosnan) steals a case of British money from a corrupt

Swiss banker (played by Patrick Malahide) affiliated with the

villain Renard's terrorist network. [1]

(http://www.jamesbondmm.co.uk/bond-villains/patrick-malahide)

The building was featured in Rajinikanth's mega-budget flick,

Sivaji: The Boss by S. Shankar for the song Style composed by

music composer, A.R. Rahman. The song sequence, choreographed by Prabhu Deva, was shot for 16

days.[10]

The building was featured on a poster presented to Arthur Read and his friends by Frank Gehry on the

television series that was named after Arthur. The poster had Gehry's signature on it.

Mariah Carey's music video "Sweetheart", directed by Hype Williams, shows singers Dupri and Carey

in various locations at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.[11]

The building is featured in the computer game SimCity 4 as a buildable landmark.

Experience Music Project and Science Fiction

Museum and Hall of FameFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The EMP Museum (formerly known as Experience Music

Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame

or EMP|SFM) is a museum dedicated to the history and

exploration of both popular music and science fiction

located in Seattle, Washington. The Frank Gehry-designed

museum building is located on the campus of the Seattle

Center, adjacent to the Space Needle and the Seattle Center

Monorail, which runs through the building.

The EMP Museum was founded by Microsoft co-founder

Paul Allen, and opened its doors in 2000. EMP struggled

financially in its early years; as a result, Allen established the Science

Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (SFM), which opened in 2004 in

the south wing of the EMP building. When SFM opened, EMP and SFM

were treated as separate museums, and visitors had the option of

purchasing admission to one museum, or, at a higher cost, a combined

admission to both. In 2007, after mounting criticism, EMP|SFM ended

the separate admissions policy and began charging a single admission

price for entrance to both the EMP and SFM wings.[1]

The Science

Fiction Museum was closed in March 2011.

EMP has provided funding for radio station KEXP in partnership with

the University of Washington.[2]

EMP was also the site of the demo and

concert program for the first international conference on New Interfaces

for Musical Expression (NIME-01) and the Pop Conference, an annual gathering of academics, critics,

musicians and music buffs.

The EMP in collaboration with SIFF operates the Science Fiction Fantasy Short Film Festival (SFFSFF). Sffsff

takes place annually every winter in Seattle, Washington at the world renowned Seattle Cinerama Theater. The

festival brings together industry professionals in filmmaking and the genres of science fiction and fantasy to

encourage and support new, creative additions to science fiction and fantasy cinema arts.

Experience Music Project

The museum contains mostly rock memorabilia and technology-intensive

multimedia displays. The EMP Museum showcases rare artifacts from

popular music history and allows the visitor to experience music through

interactive exhibitions like Sound Lab and On Stage. The Northwest

passage was dedicated to the history of Seattle music, including Jimi

Hendrix, Heart, and the grunge music genre.

Collections

Northwest Passage was formerly part of the permanent collection. It

contained exhibits on the history of popular music in the Pacific

Northwest. Exhibits include Bing Crosby (Tacoma, Washington), The

Kingsmen (Portland, Oregon), Heart (Seattle, Washington), The

Presidents of the United States of America (Seattle, Washington), Sir

Mix-a-Lot (Seattle, Washington), Nirvana (Aberdeen, Washington, via

Seattle), and Pearl Jam (Seattle, Washington) . Also included are some

less famous artists including Queensrÿche (Bellevue, Washington) and

Culprit, and bands far more obscure, such as The Pudz (Seattle,

Washington). Numerous video clips show interviews and performance

footage, and extensive commentary and additional recordings are

available via iPod audio guides (specially programmed iPods that can be

rented, for a fee, from a desk on the second floor). In April, 2011 The

Northwest Passage was de-installed to make room for the Nirvana:

Taking Punk to the Masses exhibit.

The Guitar Gallery is dedicated to the history of the guitar. The massive

sculpture entitled Roots and Branches was conceived by UK exhibit

designer Neal Potter and developed by Trimpin and made largely out of

musical instruments, especially guitars, which are played by

electronically controlled devices. The Sound Lab allows museum-goers to learn the basics of playing various

instruments and On Stage features a simulated onstage experience.

EMP introduced a travelling collection exhibit in 2002 entitled Disco: A Decade of Saturday Nights. It remained

in Seattle, WA for one year, then in 2003 it moved to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and in

2004 to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. It has since been retired.

Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame

The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame was one of two public science fiction museums in the world

(along with Maison d'Ailleurs, a science fiction museum in Yverdon-les-Bains (Switzerland). The Science Fiction

Museum and Hall of Fame was founded by Paul Allen and Jody Patton and opened to the public on June 18,

2004. Members of the museum's advisory board include Steven Spielberg, Ray Bradbury, James Cameron, and

George Lucas. Among its collection of artifacts are Captain Kirk's command chair from Star Trek, the B9 robot

from Lost in Space, the Death Star model from Star Wars, the T800 Terminator and the dome from the film

Silent Running. The X Prize trophy is currently on display in the museum's lobby.

The museum was divided into several galleries with a common theme such as "Homeworld," "Fantastic

Voyages," "Brave New Worlds" and "Them!". Each gallery displays related memorabilia (movie props, first

editions, costumes and models) in large display cases, posters, and interactive displays to sketch out the different

subjects. "From robots to jet packs to space suits and ray guns, it's all here."[4]

The EMP Museum is currently hosting a special exhibition that opened on October 23, 2010 on Battlestar

Galactica, with original props and cast members as guest speakers. On June 4, 2011, the EMP Museum opened

Avatar: The Exhibition, housed in the former SFM wing of the building.

Jim Henson (1936-1990)—artist, puppeteer, film director and producer—created elaborate imaginary worlds

filled with unique characters, objects, environments and even languages and cultures. His work is enjoyed in

dozens of languages in more than 100 countries. Jim Henson's Fantastic World offers a rare peek into the

imagination and creative genius of this multitalented innovator and creator of Kermit the Frog, Big Bird and

other beloved characters.[5]

Science Fiction Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame was founded as the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1996 by the Kansas City

Science Fiction and Fantasy Society (Kansas City, Missouri) and the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at

the University of Kansas. The Hall of Fame moved to Seattle in 2004, stopped recognizing fantasy authors, and

became part of the Science Fiction Museum. At the time of its founding, only authors were eligible for inclusion.

Beginning in 2005, the Hall of Fame was expanded to include media outside the literary, and reduced the

number of authors honored each year from four to two. Nominations and inductions are now made in four

categories: Film, Literature, Media, and Open. Since its founding the Hall of Fame has had two Chairmen: Keith

Stokes (1996–2001) and Robin Wayne Bailey (2002–present).

Design by Frank Gehry.

Architecture

The structure itself was designed by Frank Gehry, and

resembles many of his firm's other works in its sheet-metal

construction, such as Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Walt

Disney Concert Hall and Gehry Tower. Much of the building

material is exposed in the building's interior. The building

contains 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2), with a 35,000-

square-foot (3,300 m2) footprint. The central "Sky Church"

room pays homage to Jimi Hendrix and other rock 'n' roll

icons using a 40-foot (12 m) high, 70-foot (21 m) wide video

screen and an 18-panel montage of images.[7]

The last

structural steel beam to be put in place bears the signatures

of all construction workers who were on site on the day it

was erected. Hoffman Construction Company of Portland,

Oregon was the general contractor.

Even before groundbreaking, Seattle Weekly said the design could refer to "the often quoted comparison to a

smashed electric guitar." Indeed, Gehry himself had made the comparison, "We started collecting pictures of

Stratocasters, bringing in guitar bodies, drawing on those shapes in developing our ideas."[8]

The architecture

was greeted by Seattle residents with a mixture of acclaim for Gehry and derision for this particular edifice.

"Frank Gehry," remarked British-born, Seattle-based writer Jonathan Raban, "has created some wonderful

buildings, like the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, but his Seattle effort, the Experience Music Project, is not

one of them."[9]

New York Times architecture critic Herbert Muschamp described it as "something that crawled

out of the sea, rolled over, and died."[10]

Forbes magazine called it one of the world's 10 ugliest buildings.[10]

Others describe it as a "blob"[11] or call it "The Hemorrhoids".[9]

Despite some critical reviews of the structure, the building has been called “a fitting backdrop for the world's

largest collection of Jimi Hendrix memorabilia.”[12]

The outside of the building which features a fusion of

textures and colors, including gold, silver, deep red, blue and a "shimmering purple haze,"[13]

has been declared

"an apt representation of the American rock experience."[14]

Finances


6 dari 8 10/12/2011 8:16 PM

The Sky church.

The museum has had mixed financial success.[15][16] In an effort to

make ends meet, the "blue blob" at the south end of the museum—which

originally housed the "Artist's Journey" exhibit, a motion platform ride

featuring funk music—now houses Avatar: The Exhibition.

In an effort to raise more funds, museum organizers used Allen's

extensive art collection to create a 2006 exhibit within the confines of

the EMP.[17]

The exhibit, which had nothing to do with either music or

science fiction, was entitled DoubleTake: From Monet to Lichtenstein.

The exhibit included Roy Lichtenstein's The Kiss (1962), Pierre-Auguste

Renoir's The Reader (1877), Vincent van Gogh's Orchard with Peach

Trees in Blossom (1888), Pablo Picasso's Four Bathers (1921) and

several works of art from Claude Monet including one of the Water

Lilies paintings (1919) and The Mula Palace (1908).[18]

There have also

been repeated lay-offs of museum staff in an attempt to cut costs.

A subsequent exhibit — Sound and Vision: Artists Tell Their Stories,

which opened February 28, 2007 — had far more connection to the

museums' missions. The first exhibit at the complex to bring together

both music and science fiction in a single exhibit, Sound and Vision

draws on the EMP Museum's collections of oral history recordings.[19]

Walt Disney Concert HallFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Walt Disney Concert Hall at 111 South Grand Avenue

in Downtown Los Angeles, California is the fourth hall of

the Los Angeles Music Center. Bounded by Hope Street,

Grand Avenue, 1st and 2nd Streets, it seats 2,265 people

and serves (among other purposes) as the home of the Los

Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the Los Angeles

Master Chorale.

Lillian Disney made an initial gift in 1987 to build a

performance venue as a gift to the people of Los Angeles

and a tribute to Walt Disney's devotion to the arts and to the

city. The Frank Gehry-designed building opened on October

24, 2003. Both the architecture by Frank Gehry and the

acoustics of the concert hall (designed by Yasuhisa Toyota)

were praised in contrast to its predecessor, the Dorothy

Chandler Pavilion.[1]

Construction

The project was launched in 1992, when Lillian Disney, widow of Walt

Disney, donated $50 million. Frank Gehry delivered completed designs

in 1991. Construction of the underground parking garage began in 1992

and was completed in 1996. The garage cost had been $110 million, and

was paid for by Los Angeles County, which sold bonds to provide the

garage under the site of the planned hall.[2] Construction of the concert

hall itself stalled from 1994 to 1996 due to lack of fundraising.

Additional funds were required since the construction cost of the final

project far exceeded the original budget. Plans were revised, and in a

cost saving move the originally designed stone exterior was replaced

with a less costly metal skin. The needed fundraising restarted in earnest in 1996—after the real estate

depression passed—headed up by Eli Broad and then-mayor Richard Riordan and groundbreaking for the hall

was held in December 1999. Delay in the project completion caused many financial problems for the county of

LA. The city expected to repay the garage debts by revenue coming from the Disney Hall parking users.[2]

Upon completion in 2003, the project had cost an estimated $274 million, including the parking garage which

had solely cost $110 million.[2] The remainder of the total cost was paid by private donations, of which the

Disney family's contribution was estimated to $84.5 million with another $25 million from The Walt Disney

Company. By comparison, the three existing halls of the Music Center cost $35 million in the 1960s (about $190

million in today's dollars).

Acoustics

As construction finished in the spring of 2003, the Philharmonic

postponed its grand opening until the fall and used the summer to let

the orchestra and Master Chorale adjust to the new hall. Performers

and critics agree that this extra time taken was well worth it by the

time the hall opened to the public.[3] During the summer rehearsals

a few hundred VIPs were invited to sit in including donors, board

members and journalists. Writing about these rehearsals, L.A. Times

music critic, Mark Swed wrote the following account:

“When the orchestra finally got its next [practice] in

Disney, it was to rehearse Ravel's lusciously

orchestrated ballet, "Daphnis and Chloé" . . . Thistime, the hall miraculously came to life. Earlier, the

orchestra's sound, wonderful as it was, had felt

confined to stage. Now a new sonic dimension hadbeen added, and every square inch of air in Disney

vibrated merrily. Toyota says that he had never

experienced such an acoustical difference between afirst and second rehearsal in any of the halls he

designed in his native Japan. Salonen could hardly

believe his ears. To his amazement, he discoveredthat there were wrong notes in the printed parts of

the Ravel that sit on the players' stands. The

orchestra has owned these scores for decades, but inthe Chandler no conductor had ever heard the inner

details well enough to notice the errors.[3]”

The hall met with lauded approval from nearly all of its listeners, including its performers. In an interview with

PBS, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, said, "The sound, of course, was my

greatest concern, but now I am totally happy, and so is the orchestra,"[4] and later said, "Everyone can now hear

what the L.A. Phil is supposed to sound like."[5] This remains one of the most successful grand openings of a

concert hall in American history.

The walls and ceiling of the hall are finished with Douglas-fir while the floor is finished with oak. The Hall's

reverberation time is approximately 2.2 seconds unoccupied and 2.0 seconds occupied.[6]

Reflection problems

After the construction,

modifications were made to the

Founders Room exterior; while

most of the building's exterior

was designed with stainless steel

given a matte finish, the

Founders Room and Children's

Amphitheater were designed

with highly polished mirror-like

panels. The reflective qualities

of the surface were amplified by

the concave sections of the

Founders Room walls. Some residents of the neighboring condominiums

suffered glare caused by sunlight that was reflected off these surfaces

and concentrated in a manner similar to a parabolic mirror. The

resulting heat made some rooms of nearby condominiums unbearably

warm, caused the air-conditioning costs of these residents to skyrocket

and created hot spots on adjacent sidewalks of as much as 60 °C (140

°F). After complaints from neighboring buildings and residents, the

owners asked Gehry Partners to come up with a solution. Their

response was a computer analysis of the building's surfaces identifying the offending panels. In 2005 these were

dulled by lightly sanding the panels to eliminate unwanted glare.[7]

Concert organ

The design of the hall included a large concert organ, completed in

2004, which was used in a special concert for the July 2004

National Convention of the American Guild of Organists. The organ

had its public debut in a non-subscription recital performed by

Frederick Swann on September 30, 2004, and its first public

performance with the Philharmonic two days later in a concert

featuring Todd Wilson.

The organ's facade was designed by architect Frank Gehry in

consultation with organ consultant and sound designer Manuel

Rosales. Gehry wanted a distinctive, unique design for the organ.

He would submit design concepts to Rosales, who would then

provide feedback. Many of Gehry's early designs were fanciful, but

impractical: Rosales said in an interview with Timothy Mangan of

The Orange County Register, "His [Gehry's] earliest input would have created very bizarre musical results in

the organ. Just as a taste, some of them would have had the console at the top and pipes upside down. There was

another in which the pipes were in layers of arrays like fans. Very fascinating. Couldn't be built. The pipes would

have had to be made out of materials that wouldn't work for pipes. We had our moments where we realized we

were not going anywhere. As the design became more practical for me, it also became more boring for him."

Then, Gehry came up with the curved wooden pipe concept, "like a logjam kind of thing," says Rosales, "turned

sideways." This design turned out to be musically viable.[8]


3 dari 7 10/12/2011 8:17 PM

The organ was built by the German organ builder, Caspar Glatter-Götz, under the tonal direction and voicing of

Manuel Rosales. It has an attached console built into the base of the instrument from which the pipes of the

Positive, Great, and Swell manuals are playable by direct mechanical, or "tracker" key action, with the rest

playing by electric key action; this console somewhat resembles North-German Baroque organs, and has a

closed-circuit television monitor set into the music desk. It is also equipped with a detached, movable console,

which can be moved about as easily as a grand piano, and plugged in at any of four positions on the stage, this

console has terraced, curved "amphitheatre"-style stop-jambs resembling those of French Romantic organs, and

is built with a low profile, with the music desk entirely above the top of the console, for the sake of clear sight

lines to the conductor. From the detached console, all ranks play by electric key and stop action.

In all, there are 72 stops, 109 ranks, and 6,125 pipes; pipes range in size from a few centimeters/inches to the

longest being 9.75m (32 feet) (which has a frequency of 16 hertz).[9]

The organ is a gift to the County of Los Angeles from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (the U.S. sales,

marketing, service, and distribution arm of Toyota Motor Corporation).[10][11]

Pop culture

The Hall was spoofed in The Simpsons episode "The Seven-Beer Snitch"; Gehry voiced himself in the

episode where the town of Springfield had him design a new Concert Hall for the town.[12] TheConcert Hall was then transformed into a jail by Mr. Burns. The character Snake eventually escapes

from the prison while saying, "No Frank Gehry-designed prison can hold me!"

The first ever movie premiere at the concert hall was in 2003, when The Matrix Revolutions held itsworld premiere.

The Hall is featured in the video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

In the opening moments of "Day 6" of 24, a suicide bomber destroyed a bus in the vicinity of theConcert Hall.

The Concert Hall held Ellen DeGeneres co-hosting for American Idol during the special week of Idol

Gives Back. Rascal Flatts, Kelly Clarkson, and Il Divo performed here.This building was also used in the Iron Man (2008 release) movie briefly for a party for Stark

Industries.

The finale of the 2008 movie Get Smart was filmed at the Concert Hall.In the promotion picture for the television series Shark, the cast is standing in front of the Concert

Hall.

In the original pilot of the US TV remake of Life On Mars, the Hall features prominently in thesequence where Sam travels back to 1972. It is an emblem of the ultra-modern landscape that Sam is

about to leave behind.

On Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis was preparing foods for her family and friends before shewent there.

"One Hour", a 3rd season episode of NUMB3RS, extensively features the concert hall. The action

begins outside the hall, and after a long series of events around town, the FBI winds up going insidethe hall in order to rescue a young boy from his captors.

It is heavily used and an important building in the 2009 film, The Soloist.

Filming was done on location at the Concert Hall for a fictional Boomkat music video in the CW'sMelrose Place.

The ABC show "Brothers and Sisters" often shows an exterior shot of Senator Robert McCallister's

office that includes the concert hall. Also, Kitty proposed to Robert at a fund raiser held at the hall.It was featured in the 2007 film, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

The Vitra Design Museum building by

Frank O. Gehry, front view

Vitra Design MuseumFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vitra Design Museum is an internationally renowned,

privately owned museum for design in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

Vitra CEO Rolf Fehlbaum founded the museum in 1989 as an

independent private foundation. The Vitra corporation provides it

with a financial subsidy, the use of Vitra architecture, and

organisational cooperation.

Eero Saarinen's Tulip Chair, one of the

pieces represented in the permanent

collection.

Cabriolet Bed, from an exposition of works

by Joe Cesare Colombo.

The museum's collection, focusing on furniture and interior design,

is centered around the bequest of U.S. designers Charles and Ray

Eames, as well as numerous works of designers such as George

Nelson, Alvar Aalto, Verner Panton, Dieter Rams, Jean Prouvé,

Richard Hutten and Michael Thonet. It is one of the world's largest

collections of modern furniture design, including pieces

representative of all major periods and styles from the beginning of

the nineteenth century onwards.

These works, originally the private collection of Rolf Fehlbaum, are

now not permanently on display, with the exception of a

representative selection of designer chairs that can be seen in Zaha

Hadid's fire station on the Vitra premises. Instead, the museum puts

on temporary collections focused on one particular designer, often

with loans from other collections. In turn, parts of the collection are

lent to other institutions around the world.

In addition, the museum produces workshops, publications and

museum products, as well as maintaining an archive, a restoration

and conservation laboratory, and a research library. It also organises

guided tours of the Vitra premises, a major attraction to those

interested in modern architecture.

East side view

The museum building, street side view

Factory side view

The museum building, an architectural attraction in its own right,

was Frank O. Gehry's first building in Europe, realised in

cooperation with the Lörrach architect Günter Pfeifer. Together

with the museum, which was originally just designed to house Rolf

Fehlbaum's private collection, Gehry also built a more functional-

looking production hall and a gatehouse for the close-by Vitra

factory.

Although Gehry used his trademark sculptural deconstructivist style

for the museum building, he did not opt for his usual mix of

materials, but limited himself to white plaster and a titanium-zinc

alloy. For the first time, he allowed curved forms to break up his

more usual angular shapes. The sloping white forms appear to echo

the Notre Dame du Haut chapel by Le Corbusier in Ronchamp,

France, not far from Weil.

Architecture critic Paul Heyer described the general impression on

the visitor as

“... a continuous changing swirl of white forms on the

exterior, each seemingly without apparent relationship to the

other, with its interiors a dynamically powerful interplay, in

turn directly expressive of the exterior convolutions. As a

totality it resolves itself into an entwined coherent

display...”[1]

The building backs the factory fence and is embedded in a meadow

adorned with cherry trees. Claes Oldenburg's prominent sculpture

Balancing Tools provides a colourful contrast, while Tadao Ando's

nearby conference pavilion gives a more muted one.

Binoculars BuildingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Binoculars Building, originally the Chiat/Day

Building, is a commercial office building located in the

Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Built

between 1985-1991 for advertising agency Chiat/Day (now

TBWA\Chiat\Day) as its West Coast corporate headquarters,

it was designed by Los Angeles architect Frank Gehry, his

last project in Los Angeles until the Walt Disney Concert Hall

began construction in 1999.[1]

The building is notable for the three different styles used in

the main facade on Main Street, particularly the massive

sculpture of binoculars that function as both a car and

pedestrian entrance. The binoculars were designed by Claes

Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen[2]

. The entrance to the

parking garage is between the lenses of the binoculars. The

75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) building was delayed for a few

years after hazardous materials were found on the building

site, requiring removal. TBWA\Chiat\Day is no longer a

tenant in the building, having moved to another area of Los

Angeles known as Mar Vista, the current occupants are DDB

Worldwide, another advertising agency, and Ketchum, a

public relations agency.

In January 2011, W. P. Carey & Co. announced Google was

leasing 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of space in the

building and two neighboring buildings, part of a major

expansion to establish a larger employment presence in Los

Angeles.[3][4][1]

Weisman Art MuseumFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum is an art museum

located on the University of Minnesota campus in

Minneapolis. A teaching museum for the university since

1934, the museum is named for Frederick R. Weisman, and

was designed by the renowned architect Frank Gehry. Often

called a "modern art museum," the 20,000+ image collection

has large collections of Marsden Hartley, Alfred Maurer,

Charles Biederman, Native American Mimbres pottery, and

Korean furniture.

Building

The museum's current building,

designed by renowned architect

Frank Gehry,[1]

was completed in

1993. The stainless steel skin was

fabricated and installed by the A.

Zahner Company, a frequent

collaborator with Gehry's office.

It is one of the major landmarks on

campus, situated on a bluff

overlooking the Mississippi River at

the east end of the Washington Avenue Bridge. The building presents two faces, depending on which side it is

viewed from. From the campus side, it presents a brick facade that blends with the existing brick and sandstone

buildings. On the opposite side, the museum is a playground of curving and angular brushed steel sheets.[1] This

side is an abstraction of a waterfall and a fish.

The most stunning views of the building are from the pedestrian and highway decks of the adjacent Washington

Avenue Bridge. Some locals critical of the radical architectural style frequently point out that the building's

design could unexpectedly reflect the light of the sun into the eyes of motorists on the bridge. Studies

commissioned by MNDOT have found that the museum is not hazardous to motorists.

A new addition, also designed by Gehry, was expected to open in 2009.[2] However, due to economic

conditions, construction did not begin until the spring of 2010. The Weisman closed its doors on Sunday,

October 10, 2010 until the fall of 2011 as a part of this major expansion.[3]

The museum finally reopened it's

doors with a Grand Reopening celebration sponsored by Target on Sunday, October 2, 2011. The Weisman's five

new galleries allow the museum to share more than three times as many objects from the permanent collection

at any given time. One new gallery is filled with highlights from their noted ceramics collection (master potter

Warren MacKenzie helped select the work); two house master works of American modernism; and another

showcases the Weisman's considerable collection of photography, prints, and drawings. The fifth new gallery,

the Target Studio for Creative Collaboration, houses experimental collaborations between artists and students,

faculty, and the community. As of the fall 2011 reopening the Target studio focuses on designs for a new plaza

in front of the museum, the end of the pedestrian bridge, and a new university building across Washington

Avenue. [3]

Frederick R. Weisman

Frederick R. Weisman was a Minneapolis native who became well known as an art collector in Los Angeles who

died in 1994. There is another Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art on the campus of Pepperdine University in

Malibu, California. Additionally, there is the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Los Angeles estate

designed to serve as a showcase for his personal collection of 20th-century art. When he opened the art

collection at his Los Angeles estate to the public, he wanted to share the experience of living with art— rather

than the usual, more formal protocol of seeing art in a gallery or museum. The Weisman Foundation estate,

located in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles, is a two-story Mediterranean Revival house designed in the

late 1920s by Los Angeles architect Gordon B. Kaufmann. The Weisman home exhibits the fine craftsmanship

characteristic of the period, including custom decorative treatments on the walls and ceilings. Today the

Foundation estate, annex, and surrounding gardens is made accessible to the public by appointment only on

guided tours.[4]

of arts or bachelor of science graduates with no prior business coursework.[12] After completing the program in

which the entry-level business and management skills are taught, students may return to Weatherhead to

complete their MBA.

Master of Science in Management - Operations Research (MSM-OR)

The MSM-OR program consists of 18 credit hours of operations research core material, 12 credit hours of

speciality tracks, and 6 credit hours of business core classes. The program is designed to pair the disciplines of

operations research and business.[13]

Master of Science in Management – Supply Chain (MSM-SC)


5 dari 9 10/12/2011 8:22 PM

The MSM-SC program consists of 12 credit hours of business core classes and 24 credit hours of supply chain

courses. The MSM-SC can be completed by full-time students in 12 to 16 months and by part-time students in

24 to 36 months.

MS in Positive Organizational Development and Change - MPOD

The Weatherhead MPOD degree is designed to enable professionals to "create a better world by developing

human potential with strength-based methods of inquiry, design, and change management."[14] The MPOD is a

40-credit, 19-month program delivered in five, week-long residencies and one 10-day international study tour.

The program's objectives are to build students' abilities in strategic-level change management and deepen their

knowledge of leading-edge theory and practice in appreciative inquiry, strength-based human resource

development, and positive organizational change research.

PhD

The Weatherhead School of Management offers PhD degrees in disciplines such as information systems and

organizational behavior. In 2010, the Financial Times ranked the school's doctoral programs 13th in the

world.[15]

Executive Doctor of Management (EDM)

The Weatherhead Executive Doctor of Management (EDM) Program integrates concept and practice within the

context of today's emerging and pressing global issues. The EDM is available to a small, select group of

experienced executives who possess graduate degrees. The curriculum comprises 54 credit hours organized into

interdependent areas of study.[16] EDM is an executive-type program with classes offered at one 4-day and five

2-day residencies each semester. The curriculum incorporates two types of courses: Integrative and Inquiry. The

Integrative courses address substantive problems through reading relevant literature and course discussion. They

seek to integrate ideas across the social sciences and to some degree the humanities to understand the focal

problem or issue. The Inquiry courses are dedicated to helping students formulate the questions they want to

examine in their individual research. These courses are designed to give students the methodological tools to

conduct research in their areas of interest and provide faculty support in the design and execution of research

projects.

Faculty at the Weatherhead school advise doctoral students in accounting, management, operations research,

and organizational behavior. (Technically, degrees are conferred by the School of Graduate Studies at Case

Western Reserve University.)

BP Pedestrian BridgeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BP Pedestrian Bridge, or simply BP Bridge, is a girder

footbridge in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois,

United States. It spans Columbus Drive to connect Daley

Bicentennial Plaza with Millennium Park, both parts of the

larger Grant Park. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning

architect Frank Gehry, it opened along with the rest of

Millennium Park on July 16, 2004.[1] Gehry had been courted

by the city to design the bridge and the neighboring Jay

Pritzker Pavilion, and eventually agreed to do so after the

Pritzker family funded the Pavilion.[2][3][4]

Named for energy firm BP, which donated $5 million toward

its construction, it is the first Gehry-designed bridge to have

been completed.[5] BP Bridge is described as snakelike

because of its curving form.[6] Designed to bear a heavy load

without structural problems caused by its own weight, it has

won awards for its use of sheet metal. The bridge is known

for its aesthetics, and Gehry's style is seen in its biomorphic

allusions and extensive sculptural use of stainless steel plates

to express abstraction.

The pedestrian bridge serves as a noise barrier for traffic

sounds from Columbus Drive. It is a connecting link between

Millennium Park and destinations to the east, such as the

nearby lakefront, other parts of Grant Park and a parking

garage.[7] BP Bridge uses a concealed box girder design with

a concrete base, and its deck is covered by hardwood floor

boards.[8] It is designed without handrails, using stainless

steel parapets instead. The total length is 935 feet (285 m),

with a five percent slope on its inclined surfaces that makes it

barrier free and accessible. Although the bridge is closed in

winter because ice cannot be safely removed from its wooden

walkway, it has received favorable reviews for its design and

aesthetics.

Design

Preliminary plans

Since the mid-19th century, Grant Park has been Chicago's "front yard", with Lake Michigan to the east and the

Loop to the west. Columbus Drive runs north–south through Grant Park, with Daley Bicentennial Plaza in the

northeast corner of the park. West of Columbus Drive, the northwest corner of the park had been Illinois Central

rail yards and parking lots until 1997, when it became available for development by the city as Millennium Park.

Millennium Park is also north of Monroe Street and the Art Institute, east of Michigan Avenue, and south of

Randolph Street.[9] For 2007, Millennium Park trailed only Navy Pier as a Chicago tourist attraction.[10]

In February 1999, the city announced it was negotiating with Frank Gehry to

design a proscenium arch and orchestra enclosure for a band shell in the new

park, as well as a pedestrian bridge crossing Columbus Drive between

Millennium Park and Daley Bicentennial Plaza. The city also sought donors to

cover the cost of Gehry's work, which would eventually become Jay Pritzker

Pavilion and the BP Pedestrian Bridge.[11][12] At the time, the Chicago Tribune

dubbed Gehry "the hottest architect in the universe" in reference to the acclaim

for his Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.[13] Millennium Park project manager

Edward Uhlir said "Frank is just the cutting edge of the next century of

architecture", and noted that no other architect was being sought.[11] Gehry was

approached several times by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architect Adrian Smith

on behalf of the city.[3] In April 1999, the city announced that the Pritzker

family had donated $15 million to fund Gehry's band shell and an additional nine

donors committed a total of $10 million more to the park.[2][14] That same day,

Gehry agreed to the design request.[4]

In November 1999, when he unveiled his initial plans for the bridge and band

shell, Gehry admitted the bridge's design was underdeveloped because funding for it was not yet committed.

Even at this early point, the need for a sound barrier for Columbus Drive traffic noise was recognized, although

Gehry indicated this might take the form of a berm, or raised barrier.[15] The need to fund a bridge to span the

eight-lane Columbus Drive was evident, but some planning for the park was delayed in anticipation of details on

the redesign of Soldier Field.[16] In January 2000, the city announced plans to expand the park to include

features that became Cloud Gate, Crown Fountain, the McDonalds Cycle Center, and the BP Pedestrian

Bridge.[17] Later that month, Gehry unveiled his next design, which depicted a winding bridge.[18]

While the neighboring Jay Pritzker Pavilion changed relatively little from Gehry's 1999 design when built, the

bridge went through several proposed designs.[19] The proposal made in early 2000, which was expected to be

executed in 2002, included a bridge that was a mere 170 feet (51.8 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) wide.[20] That

design was not approved, and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's disapproval of Gehry's subsequent design of

an 800–900-foot (240–270 m) bridge caused Gehry to come up with ten more designs.[21] The first of these

plans was for a Z-shaped bridge that would have run northwest–southeast with western ramps in Millennium

Park, leading south, and eastern ramps in the empty north section of Daley Bicentennial Plaza, leading north. It

would have required elevators to conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act.[19] This plan was abandoned

because it would have segregated the handicapped.[22] Gehry had only designed two bridges previously, both in

the mid-1990s (Pferdeturm USTRA Bridge in Hanover, Germany and Financial Times Millennium Bridge in

London, United Kingdom) but neither was built.[19]

Final plan

The final design for the bridge was revealed in an exhibit at the Chicago

Cultural Center on June 10, 2000.[21] As designed and built, the bridge is

935 feet (285.0 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) wide, with a 14-foot-6-inch

(4.42 m) Columbus Drive clearance.[23][24] The clearance was designed

to slightly exceed the 14-foot (4.3 m) standard set by the United States

Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for urban

area interstate bridge clearances, and to allow for additional future layers

of pavement below.[25] This height is also greater than the maximum

vehicle height of 13 feet 6 inches (4.1 m) set by the Illinois Vehicle

Code.[26] According to the Chicago Tribune the width of the

"trenchlike" area spanned is approximately 150 feet (46 m),[21] while

The New York Times reports the bridge is over ten times longer than

Columbus Drive is wide.[27]

BP Bridge begins in Millennium Park between the trellis system over the Jay Pritzker Pavilion's great lawn and

the Lurie Garden; the design was changed so that the west ramp coincided with the boardwalk of the Lurie

Garden seam.[28][29] The bridge winds its way northward along the eastern edge of Millennium Park before

crossing Columbus Drive in a C-shaped curve, above underground parking garage entrances. In Daley

Bicentennial Plaza the bridge has an S-shape, then turns east. BP Bridge is designed so that its inclined surfaces

have a continuous five percent slope rather than landings and switchback ramps, which provides easy access for

the physically challenged.[21][30] The gently sloped ramp eliminates the need for lifts or any of the other

common types of ramps (L-shaped, switchback, U-shaped, straight),[31] and helped the park earn the 2005

Barrier-Free America Award for its exemplary barrier-free design.[32]

Gehry had hoped to design the bridge so that it could be constructed

without a support column in the center of Columbus Drive. However,

Chicago Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin notes that if he had

done so, the bridge might not have been as sleek.[6] Building the bridge

without the column would have required load-bearing cantilevers (beams

supported only on one side) from structural positions on opposite sides of

the street; this would have been expensive and labor-intensive, because

it would have required excavating large portions of the parking garages

on both sides of the street. Moreover, on the Daley Bicentennial Plaza

side, the optimal location for the supporting cantilever would have been

at the location of the Monroe Street Garage. Thus, the preferred bridge design was altered to avoid problems

related to the underground parking garages.[33]

The bridge is both a connector and a viewing platform for the park.[6] It was designed to link the Historic

BP Bridge entry and

Bicentennial Plaza

Michigan Boulevard District and the entire Loop to the west with the Lake Michigan lakefront to the east. It

was also designed to be a berm noise barrier blocking noise on the eight-lane Columbus Drive from the Park's

outdoor band shell (Jay Pritzker Pavilion), by deflecting traffic sounds upward.[34]

The bridge, which uses steel girders, reinforced concrete abutments and deck slabs, hardwood deck, and a

stainless steel veneer, cost between $12.1 and $14.5 million.[34][35][36] It contains large sculptural plates of

curvilinear stainless steel instead of more standard flat plates.[1] The bridge's curvilinear design gives it a

flowing, natural look, instead of the linear, rigid form of standard bridges. Although its steel girders rest on

concrete pylons and most of the bridge is solid concrete, the bridge uses a hollow box girder design to minimize

weight, as the ground that supports the bridge covers underground parking garages.[8][37] The concrete base and

box girder are flanked by a hollow stainless steel skeleton.[8] Despite its hollow structure, and the fact that it is

designed as a concealed beam bridge, the footbridge is built to highway standards and can support a full

capacity load of pedestrians.[37] The bridge is designed without standard handrails and uses waist-high parapets

as guard rails instead.[6]

Construction

The bridge was built using 22-gauge stainless steel type 316 plates (0.031

inches / 0.79 millimetres thick), with an angel hair finish and a flat interlocking

panel process. Stainless steel type 316 is known for its excellent welding

characteristics, as well as for its resistance to pitting.[38] According to the

Chicago Tribune, the bridge materials used in construction include 2,000

rot-resistant Brazilian hardwood boards for the deck, 115,000 stainless steel

screws and 9,800 stainless steel shingle plates.[28][37] According to Architecture

Metal Expertise, the bridge has "10,400 stainless steel trapezoidal panels in 17

different shop fabricated configurations [which] involved 1,000 shop hours".[34]

The sheet metal work totaled 5,900 field hours over a six-month period.[34]

During construction, about 200 shingles were installed per day.[39] The bridge

includes two types of structural steel: steel that is 2.0 inches / 5.1 centimetres

thick and 20.0 inches / 51 centimetres in diameter for the approaches and box

girders for the span.[40]

CATIA software was used to handle the complex geometric layout.[41] To ensure

accurate fitting and alignment to the sloping, curving sides of the bridge, 4,400

custom-made convex, concave and radiused cladding panels were fabricated on site by sheet metal contractor

Custom Metal Fabricators (CMF). CMF used 57,000 square feet (5,300 m2) of stainless steel sheet to cover the

sides, which have a combined perimeter length of 1,728 feet (526.7 m). CMF built special heated enclosures so

that work could continue on site through the winter. They designed, fabricated and installed custom type

4 brushed stainless steel parapets serving in the place of handrails on the bridge. CMF earned the 2005 Tom

Guilfoy Memorial Architectural Sheet Metal Award, by the California chapter of the Sheet Metal and Air

Conditioning Contractors' National Association for the project.[34] In 2005 it received a Merit Award from the

National Steel Bridge Alliance, and an Excellence in Structural Engineering award from the Structural Engineers

Association of Illinois.[42]

On the day that the two halves of the bridge were joined, each side of Columbus Drive was closed for a 12-hour

period and a 360-short-ton (320-long-ton; 330 t) crane was used to install the girders. Before bringing the crane

to the location, screw jacks were used to shore up the underground garage roof to hold the crane's weight.[43]

The landscaping surrounding the bridge was redesigned by landscape architect Terry Guen. Honey locusts, ash

and maple trees were removed and replaced with three varieties of magnolia and more than two dozen

ornamental and canopy trees along the eastern foot of the bridge in Daley Bicentennial Plaza. Other preliminary

construction work included setting reinforcing rods for the bridge in the concrete roof deck of the parking

garage located under the park.[23]

Use and controversies

Before its official opening, the bridge had a May 22, 2004, private ribbon-cutting

ceremony attended by Gehry and Mayor Daley. During the weekend of the

ribbon-cutting, Gehry was awarded an honorary degree from the School of the

Art Institute of Chicago.[44] The BP Pedestrian Bridge officially opened, along

with the rest of Millennium Park, on July 16, 2004.[1][37] It remained unnamed

at the ribbon-cutting,[37] but before the July park opening, energy firm BP had

paid $5 million for the bridge sponsorship and naming rights.[45]

Timothy Gilfoyle, author of Millennium Park: Creating a Chicago Landmark,

notes that a controversy surrounds the "tasteless" corporate naming of several of

the Park's features, including the bridge, which was named after an oil

company.[46] It is well documented that naming rights were sold for high

fees,[47] and Gilfoyle was not the only one who chastised park officials for

selling naming rights to the highest bidder. Public interest groups have crusaded

against commercialization of Chicago parks.[48] However, many of the donors

have a long history of local philanthropy and the funds were essential to

providing necessary financing for several features of the park.[45]

After the park opened, some of the bridge's foibles became apparent. The bridge has had to be closed during the

winter because freezing conditions make it unsafe.[49] Since the bridge is over an expressway-like trench of

Columbus Drive, shoveling the snow onto passing cars is not an option and the Brazilian hardwood would be

damaged by rock salt.[50] The city not only mandates that the bridge be swept and washed daily, but also that

the parapets be wiped free of fingerprints.[51]

The bridge has also had controversial closures in the summer, which were related to larger park concerns. On

September 8, 2005, Toyota Motor Sales USA paid $800,000 to rent the bridge and all but four venues in the park

from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.[52][53] On August 7, 2006, Allstate paid $700,000 to rent the bridge and most of the park

for a day.[54][55] The exclusion of commuters who normally walk through the park and tourists lured by its

attractions was controversial, though the city said the money raised paid for free public programs in Millennium

Park.[52]

Perspectives of BP Bridge

View from Aon Center (top, in

and Blue Cross Blue

Shield Tower (bottom, in 2008).

The bridge is noted for its sculptural characteristics and Kamin describes it

as a delightful pleasure that was designed to emphasize its artistic elements

while de-emphasizing its concrete and steel support system.[6] The New

York Times notes that the artist Anish Kapoor's attempts to hide the seams

of Cloud Gate were an interesting contrast to Gehry's architectural efforts.

Gehry took pride in making the BP Pedestrian Bridge flaunt its seams.[27]

Beginning with Gehry's earliest bridge designs, the bridge was expected to

complement the neighboring Pritzker Pavilion.[20] Some have suggested

that the bridge and the pavilion are mere extensions of Gehry's work in

other cities. For example, according to Gilfoyle, both structures embody

Gehry's established asymmetrical style, evoking fluid, continuous motion

and sculptural abstraction. They also feature metallic facades and aesthetic

curves, but they are said to be more refined, reduced and dynamic than

much of his other work.[57]

Since the 1960s, Gehry has made artistic use of scaled animals such as fish

and snakes, which first appeared in his architectural designs in the 1980s.[58][59][60] Many references to the bridge describe it as snakelike for its

winding path,[6][34][44] and some even refer to the stainless steel plates as

scales with discussion of reptilian forms.[19][41] Kamin calls it "a bridge

that resembles a giant silver snake, complete with a scaly skin",[6] while

Gehry said he thought the bridge looked like a river, but added he might be

the only one who thought that.[44]

The way the bridge flows in a continuum of unexpected directions is a

break from Gehry's other work and other more traditional urban and

architectural forms nearby.[57] Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic

Kamin gave the bridge four stars (out of a possible four) in his review and

admires how "computers have given Gehry unparalleled formal freedom" to design "the complexity of its

geometry" and multidimensional curvatures.[6] The bridge provides views of both the Historic Michigan

Boulevard District and Lake Michigan in a way that Kamin says makes it a belvedere.[6][61] Kamin also

recommends anyone having a bad day to stroll across the bridge, adding, "You won't get where you're going

quickly, but you'll feel a whole lot better once you're done."[6]

Lou Ruvo Center for Brain HealthFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (LRCBH),

officially the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain

Health, opened on July 13, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada that is

operated by the Cleveland Clinic [1] and was designed by

world-renowned architect, Frank Gehry of Gehry Partners in

Santa Monica, California.

History

Keep Memory Alive (also known as KMA) was founded by

Larry Ruvo, senior managing partner of Southern Wines and

Spirits, in memory of his father, Lou Ruvo, a victim of

Alzheimer’s Disease, together with his wife Camille, Mirage

Resorts CEO Bobby Baldwin (who also lost his father to

Alzheimer's Disease), and Bobby Baldwin's wife Donna.

KMA supports the mission of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain

Health and has held several star-studded galas, attended by

celebrities and notables from around the world. It has become

one of Las Vegas’ most important charity initiatives and a key

participant in the nation fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

Since its inception, the event has raised more than $20 million

towards achieving its goal – the realization of the Lou Ruvo

Center for Brain Health. Funds committed by such supporters

as the Spector Family Foundation, the Roland and Terri Sturm

Foundation, Steinberg Diagnostics, the Hard Rock Hotel and

Casino and America Online will be utilized for the

construction and operation of this incredible state-of-the-art

facility. The Center is planned to become a national resource

for the most current research and scientific information for

the treatment of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington 's

Diseases, and ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) as well as focusing

on prevention, early detection and education.

Design

The ceremonial groundbreaking of the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health occurred on February 9, 2007.

Dignitaries who attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for the $70 million project included founder Larry

Ruvo, Frank Gehry, U.S. Senator Harry Reid and John Ensign; U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley, Jon Porter

and Dean Heller, Gov. Jim Gibbons, Mayor Oscar Goodman, former Gov. Kenny Guinn, Gov. Arnold

Schwarzenegger, Kevin Spacey, John Cusack.[2][3] The Center operates as an outpatient treatment and research

facility in downtown Las Vegas on land deeded to Keep Memory Alive, the fund raising arm of LRCBH, by the

City of Las Vegas as part of its 61 acres (25 ha) Symphony Park. The Center is approximately 65,000 sq ft

(6,000 m2) and includes 13 examination rooms, offices for health care practitioners and researchers, a “Museum

of the Mind,” and a community auditorium. The Center will also serve as the headquarters for Keep Memory

Alive, the Las Vegas Alzheimer’s Association and the Las Vegas Parkinson’s Disease Association.

Criticism

On his blog, New Urbanist and architecture critic James Howard Kunstler named the Lou Ruvo center his

"Eyesore Of The Month" for April 2010. Kunstler sharply criticized the Center's design, writing: "It seems to

say: This is your brain on Frank Gehry". Kunstler suggested that the architecture was inappropriate for the

building's purpose: "If I had a problem with my brain, I would not be reassured arriving at this place. The

implicit sadism is impressive".
