Urban amphitheater


2/10

An amphitheatreor amphitheater/mfitr/[2][3]

is an open-air venue used for

entertainment, performances, and sports. The term derives from theancient Greek(amphitheatron),

[4]from (amphi), meaning "on both sides" or "around"

[5]and (thtron),

meaning "place for viewing".[6][7]

Ancient Greek theatreswere built in a semicircle, with tiered seating above a performance area.Ancient

Roman amphitheatreswere oval or circular in plan, with seating tiers that surrounded the central

performance area, like a modern open-airstadium.Modern usage for "amphitheater" does not always

respect the ancient usage, and so the word can embrace theatre-stylestages with the audience only on

Interactive artis a form ofartthat involves the spectator in a way that allows the art to achieve its

purpose. Some interactive art installations achieve this by letting the observer or visitor "walk" in, on, and

around them; some others ask the artist to become part of the artwork.

Works of this kind of art frequently featurecomputersand sensors to respond to motion, heat,

meteorological changes or other types of input their makers programmed them to respond to. Most

examples of virtualInternet artandelectronic artare highly interactive. Sometimes, visitors are able to

navigate through ahypertextenvironment; some works accept textual or visual input from outside;

sometimes an audience can influence the course of aperformanceor can even participate in it.

Though some of the earliest examples of interactive art have been dated back to the 1920s, most digital

art didnt make its official entry into the world of art until the late 1990s.[2]

Since this debut, countless

museums and venues have been increasingly accommodating digital and interactive art into their

productions. This budding genre of art is continuing to grow and evolve in a somewhat rapid manner

through internet social sub-culture, as well as through large scale urban installations.

The rest of the country could learn from the Bonifacio public-art program and revive our dwindling open areas incities, for people from all walks of life to enjoy

BIG blue bear casts changing silhouettes on High Street.

There arent many public places in Manila where people can have fun outdoors, much less places in the city with

public art for people to engage with.Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is one of those few places. Kids love it there. They are all over the interactive sculptureat the landscaped center of Bonifacio High Street, running, climbing, simply having fun.Through its public-art program, the Bonifacio Art Foundation seeks to provide the city with a soul. Also, the artprovides a lot of fun to Bonifacio residents and visitors.Unlike the rare pieces of public art in Manila and other cities, mostly monumental and without any access to people,the approach to art at BGC is the opposite: Its art is people-oriented, touchable, and something that enriches andadds surprise to everyday life.Look at the children enjoying the sculpture installed along High Street and hear their delight as they run around theinteractive art pieces. Seeing them brings home the point that art is to be enjoyed.The Bonifacio public-art program is not just about placing sculpture in strategic locations around BGC. It seeks toinstall art pieces that will evoke a sense of place and identity for those who live or work in BGC, and to enrich thevisitor experience.Accessible

A sculpture by Alvin Zafra grows out of the greenery

One criterion for artwork at BGC is that it be universally accessible, that it can be viewed and experienced withoutany complicated explanations while being stimulating, engaging and educational.Therefore, going beyond sculpture and installations, the public-art program aims to interweave art into everyday life,even making its mark on ordinary utility objects such as trash bins, which artists have been asked to turn intoartworks.The results are remarkable. Trash bins have been transformed into witty, eye-catching artwork that serve a doublepurposecalling attention to the need to use trash bins.

Art pieces are either directly commissioned by the Bonifacio Art Foundation or chosen by means of competitionsamong artists.

Artwork in the BGC area must be site-appropriate, relate to the landscape and development, and, most of all, bemeaningful to those who will use the space around the artwork.

Above all, the piece should challenge and engage the viewers to enjoy and experience it.

Squeezing water from a rock

Because of its public nature, the art piece must be durable enough to withstand climatic rigors plus the wear and tearof human interaction.

Nation, culture, environmentBGC artwork falls into general themes. One is nationalismto promote nationhood, of courseas seen in AngSupremo, the sculpture of Andres Bonifacio and Gregoria de Jesus, a BGC landmark.Other themes are cultural, which demonstrates an aspect of Philippine heritage; and environmental, as seen in thelarge bronze Trees, by Rey Paz Contreras, the first sculpture installed in BGC, dating to 1997.Meanwhile, various outdoor activities encourage community participation in art activities that produce temporaryexhibitions.

Evoking the environment is Trees, by Rey Paz Contreras

Community activities have been the focus of the Bonifacio public-art program. In the past months, events haveincluded art interactions, public concerts, film showings, street performances, flea marketsactivities that makepublic spaces people-friendly and vibrant.Many look to foreign shores and wish we had the same kind of street life in the Philippines. There is no more need tolook any farther than BGC to find an emerging Filipino brand of street life that should set the mark for the rest of thecountry.

And if the rest of the country could learn from the Bonifacio public-art program and revive our dwindling open areas incities for people from all walks of life to enjoy, then our quality of life would improve.Comments and feedback are invited to [email protected].

An aviaryis a large enclosure for confiningbirds.Unlikecages,aviaries allow birds a larger living space

where they can fly; hence, aviaries are also sometimes known as flight cages. Aviaries often contain

plants and shrubbery to simulate a natural environment.

Types of aviaries[edit]

Public aviary[edit]

Large aviaries are often found in the setting of azoological garden(for example, theLondon Zoo,

theNational Zoo in Washington, D.C.,and theSan Diego Zoo). Spacious walk-in aviaries also exist in

bird parks such asJurong BirdParkinSingapore.Pittsburghis home to the USA'sNational Aviary,

perhaps the most prominent example in North America of an aviary not set inside a zoo. The Tracy Aviary

is an example of a bird park within a public urban park,Liberty ParkinSalt Lake City,Utah.[1]

Somepublic

aquaria,such as theOregon Coast Aquarium,Newport, Oregon,or theMonterey Bay Aquarium,have

aquatic aviaries.[2][3]

City Square Mall(Chinese:) is Singapores first eco-mall to be integrated with a 49,000 sq ft

(4,600 m2) urban park named City Green. The mall sits on the site of Singapore's historicNew World

Amusement Parkand is directly connected toNE8 Farrer Park.City Green is designed to provide a

learning experience about ecology and the natural environment.[1]

City Square Mall is also the first mall in Singapore awarded the prestigious Green Mark Platinum Awardby the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

ECO FRIENDLY PLAYGROUND

Playgrounds have also joined the green movement these days. Eco friendly playgroundsare being built here andthere, and older play parks and recreation sites are being converted to become eco friendly. Not only is an eco

friendly playground better and healthier for the environment, but it also benefits the children who play in it.

What exactly is an eco friendly playground? Eco friendly playgrounds are ones that use non-toxic materials. The

ones that meet the highest standards use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood and 100% post-consumer

waste recycled materials. Generally, any plastic found in recycled eco friendly playgrounds come from plastic milk

cartons. The rubber tiles andpoured in place surfacing come from recycled tires or sometimes, even from old

sneakers!

Another facet that some eco friendly playgrounds are incorporating into their designs is a way to capture rain water.

These playgrounds and sites are designed in such a way that the run-off of any precipitation can be stored andcollected to water surrounding plants and gardens.

Prior to 2003, almost all wood used in playgrounds was specially treated with chromium copper arsenate (CCA),

which preserved the wood longer from normal weathering. However, the basic component of this treatment was

arsenic, and some studies have shown that arsenic leached into the soil and evidence of higher than normal arsenic

levels were discovered in the children that played on this equipment.

One way of protecting children on playgrounds with older equipment is to re-paint all exposed surfaces every year.

However, many towns and schools are opting to completely re-do their playgrounds, using the newer materials that
