I DUE LUDWIG A DETROIT
No full textAdalberto Del Bo
I due Ludwig a Detroit,
Il testo comprende la descrizione della vicenda progettuale di Lafayette Park a Detroit e, sulla base dell’ampia documentazione presente in Architectural Forum, della discussione sulla città in quel momento in corso negli USA.
Vengono messe in luce le diverse caratteristiche dei contributi degli autori e l’organicità complessiva dell’intervento che, nonostante i consensi raccolti all’epoca della costruzione, non ha avuto nel dibattito sulla città gli esiti ipotizzati dallo stesso Mies.
A distanza di 50 anni emergono con evidenza gli aspetti generati dalla teoria urbana di Hilberseimer – dalla Mischbebauung al rapporto con la natura, al controllo del traffico – e la capacità dell’architettura miesiana di dar forma adeguata a quelle idee urbane.
Forte è anche l’interesse ai temi del clima e dell’energia contenuti nell’opera di Hilberseimer, come esplicitamente riconosciuto dallo stesso Mies.
Lo scritto è contenuto nel catalogo della mostra ‘Lafayette Park, Detroit. La forma dell’insediamento’ tenuta presso il Politecnico di Milano nel marzo 2010, presso il Palazzo Reale di Napoli nell’ottobre 2010, presso la Facoltà di Architettura di Delft nel maggio-giugno 2012 ed è in corso presso University of Detroit Mercy, Lawrence Technological University e Wayne State University nei mesi di marzo e aprile 2012

Possible links between the lag structure in visual cortex and visual streams using fMRI
No full textConventional functional connectivity analysis using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures the correlation of temporally synchronized brain activities between brain regions. Lag structure analysis relaxes the synchronicity constraint of fMRI signals, and thus, this approach might be better at explaining functional connectivity. However, the sources of the lag structure in fMRI are primarily unknown. Here, we applied lag structure analysis to the human visual cortex to identify the possible sources of lag structure. A total of 1,250 fMRI data from two independent databases were considered. We explored the temporal lag patterns between the central and peripheral visual fields in early visual cortex and those in two visual pathways of dorsal and ventral streams. We also compared the lag patterns with effective connectivity obtained with dynamic causal modeling. We found that the lag structure in early visual cortex flows from the central to peripheral visual fields and the order of the lag structure flow was consistent with the order of signal flows in visual pathways. The effective connectivity computed by dynamic causal modeling exhibited similar patterns with the lag structure results. This study suggests that signal flows in visual streams are possible sources of the lag structure in human visual cortex. © The Author(s) 201

North Carolina Park Commission: Purchase Fund statements
No full textThese Purchase Fund statements are part of the records of the North Carolina Park Commission. They are a small sampling of the thousands collected and housed at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 1924, the North Carolina Park Commission was created by the General Assembly to facilitate the establishment of a national park. By 1927, funds for acquiring land amounted to 5 million dollars, two from each state and one million in donations pledged by citizens. By 1930, North Carolina had deeded more than 50,000 acres of land to the Department of the Interior, taking the first tangible steps toward creating a park. Tennessee soon followed suit
