Plateau Studios / Kodak Finishing Dept.
No full textThis envelop once held three rolls of film that were processed at The Plateau Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. Born and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) was known by the name Masahara Iizuka. He emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he spent the rest of his life. After initially working at the Grove Park Inn, Masa turned to photography and was associated with Plateau Studio in Asheville. In addition to his personal and professional photographic pursuits, Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Mutual interests in outdoor activities fostered a friendship with Horace Kephart, a noted author and promoter of the park. Kephart’s many articles promoting regional conservation were illustrated with Masa’s photographs of natural landscapes and scenic vistas

Being on the mat: Quasi-sacred spaces, ‘exotic’ other places, and yoga studios in the ‘West’
No full textThe chapter, "Being on the mat: Quasi-sacred spaces, ‘exotic’ other places, and yoga studios in the ‘West’" was written by Lisa Smith (Douglas College Faculty). Book description: This volume considers the phenomenon of yoga travel as an instance of a broader genre of ‘spiritual travel’ involving journeys to places ‘elsewhere’, which are imagined to offer the possibility of profound personal transformation. These imaginings are tied up in a continued exoticization of the East, but they are not limited to that. Contributors identify various themes such as authenticity, suffering, space, material markers, and the idea of the ‘spiritual’, tracing how these ideas manifest in conceptions and fetishizations of ‘elsewhere.’ To deepen its analysis of this phenomenon, the book incorporates a wide range of disciplines including architecture, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, women’s studies, religious studies, and history. While the book’s primary focus is yoga and yoga travel, contributors offer up an array of other case studies. Chapters delve into the complex questions of agency and authenticity that accompany the concept of ‘spiritual travel’ and ideas of ‘elsewhere.’
Chapter abstract: While most Westerners might not be able to provide an in-depth explanation of what exactly it is, yoga is a familiar word, even if it looks significantly different from practices that one might find in India. This chapter draws on a mini ethnography of two yoga studios in Montreal in order to better understand and examine yoga in the ‘West’. The author argues that yoga studios can reveal some of the particularities of self-formation in the West as it relates to the construction of the spiritual and religious subject. Most contemporary yoga studios house all manner of religious and spiritual objects that refer to exotic other places; indeed, it is this connection to ‘other’ places that lends the studio its legitimacy as a sacred space.book chapterPublished.Religious and spiritual objectsEthnography of yoga studiosYoga and self-formation in the 'West
Design Studios as Method for Exploring Complex Challenges in the Pearl River Delta
No full textThis chapter draws on three different design studios that focus on the Pearl River Delta to discuss what kind of knowledge has been generated within them, and how they can be used systematically as a method to address the region’s complex challenges. The three studios differ in their objectives, duration and structure, but are linked by a research-through-design approach. A selection of some illustrative outcomes is presented and structured around three types of knowledge—project based, form based and idea based—which is typically produced in the design process. This knowledge refers to four main aspects through which it is possible to describe the complexity of the urban landscape, namely time, space, causality and materiality and can be either contextual or generic. Nonetheless, within a design studio, it can be systematically employed to support research activities, speeding up the development of research programmes dealing with complex issues, such as adaptation of fast urbanising deltas.Landscape Architectur
