...Angelenos have a good reason to walk along Grand Avenue—to hang out at Disney Hall’s new sidewalk café or merely to gawk at the hall’s sinuous, stainless-steel wrapper. At the corner of Grand and First, the enclosing forms curve open to the main entrance, across from the Philharmonic’s old home at the Music Center. PROJECT DIARY The story of how Frank Gehry’s design and Lillian Disney’s dream were ultimately rescued to create the masterful WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL By James S. Russell, AIA P H OTO G R A P H Y : © L A R A S W I M M E R / E S TO Fleischmann and a committee assembled to manage the construction visited many of the world’s great halls. Two that particularly impressed the group were not on the usual greatest-hits lists. One was the Berlin Philharmonie, a dramatically expressionistic composition of terraced and overlapping tiers completed in 1963 to a design by Hans Scharoun with acoustician Lothar Cremer. The other acoustical standout was Suntory Hall, 1986, in Tokyo (Yasui Architects), where the acoustical consultant had been Nagata Acoustics, a firm well known only in Japan. In the meantime, an architectural subcommittee winnowed a list of 80 architects down to four who would compete for the commission: Gottfried Böhm, of Cologne, Germany; Hans Hollein, Vienna; Project: Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles Client: Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, the Music Center of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Architect: Gehry Partners—Frank Gehry, FAIA,...

...Sculpture Critical Analysis The sculpture I picked is a full-round sculpture, and you can see something different from each side. I think the method of execution is construction because it doesn’t look like he modeled this with clay by manipulation. I also highly doubt he used all subtraction for this because that would be inefficient, although he might have done some small amounts for some of the finer detail. That leaves substitution, which is unlikely because that would be a gigantic mold to make and also inefficient. In my opinion, this is a very open piece. I see some contraposto in a couple of the people because of the way they look like they’re in movement carrying this woman. What initially catches my eye about this piece is the woman being carried holding the torch. Then I look down and see all the people carrying her with all those defined features pointing up, and I get carried right back up to the woman on top. I would say my eye travels in almost an oval shape fashion. As far as size is concerned it’s a very tall sculpture, standing around 20 feet tall I would estimate. It also looks like a very heavy sculpture but it doesn’t cover a lot of ground. It’s fairly skinny but tall. I would say this sculpture has a very defined texture. There are discreet details in the that you can see when you focus. For example, the wrinkles in the clothing and the facial details. There’s a lot of negative space in this sculpture mainly because the individual people aren’t connected...

...Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by architect Frank Gehry, was built from 1999 to 2003 at 111 South Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. The concert hall was constructed as a commendation to Walt Disney and its credit in the arts. Served as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Disney concert hall seats twenty four thousand people and it consists of a children’s outdoor amphitheater, a garden, a restaurant, and a small café shop other than the main concert hall. The exterior design of the concert hall can be seen as very unusual and exuberant in a sense. The building is comprised of “petals” that wrap each other creating space as they are curved and folded within their shape. These non-linear fragments create a certain ambience that expresses a flowing rhythm and movement. These organic, playful design features of the Walt Disney Concert Hall can be said to have an impact on the audience, the visitors of the concert hall. In fact, it is not only the music played in the hall that interacts with the audience; the aesthetics of the exteriority also affects the audience and enhances the experiences they receive; the design of the music hall welcomes the viewers, brings them together in unity, and liberates the audience’s creative imagination. The building is indeed inviting and welcoming to the visitors. The natural, organic pieces of shape seem more initiating and approachable than rigid, linear rectangular boxes, as they...

...Throughout history, artists have often broken the times’ current style, and put forth something fresh and innovative. This transition into a new style is frequently seen in the work of architects. A dramatic architectural shift in style occurred not only during the Baroque period of art, but also in more modern of times. This shift is evident in the work of both Francesco Borromini and Frank Gehry, two world-renowned and brilliant architects. Specifically, this extreme break in style is evident in Borromini’s façade of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane and Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. The shift in style of artwork during the Baroque period was not only dramatic, but also fascinating. There was such a powerful movement from something so...

...the wall where the occasional stray syringe cap is lazily tucked in between it. Feet are throbbing; stomach is rumbling, long day, clocked in at four this morning, just want to sleep forever. Following this plastic trimming, the hall seems endless, does it turn left or right, maybe a dead end—you could rarely ever tell if it weren’t for the directional signs. I think this is the room; the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear they said. The wall itself is also white, neutral, seldom decorated with anything other than policies and inspirational posters which are not really meant to look at, more for comfort really. Besides, you could hardly ever see the posters as the halls are constantly filled with running feet. There are lights everywhere, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls, above every room, however the hall is surprisingly dim, making it difficult to read patient numbers on doors. Found it, the room with the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear. Finally get to sit. A firm cheap sofa chair that isn’t meant for long term visits—mostly only for show and requirement—but feet are throbbing, body is tired, wishing the pain down both legs couldn’t be felt, so the discomfort of the chair is actually comfortable. Looking out of the room into the hall, everything is rushing by seen only for a second and no longer; a crash cart flashes by, blurred faces, a haze of multiple color-coded staff, the occasional gleam of something metallic. The nurse’s station,...

...As I am on my way to visit my Uncle Ken at his new residence, Kimwell Nursing Home, I can’t help but think of all the great memories I have of him. We would spend every Easter with him & my Aunt Mabel at their house, and my 2 sisters and I took a nice picture with Uncle Ken every year. He was always a very happy, lively man who loved to joke around with us kids.Unfortunately my aunt passed away & my uncle was now lonely. I tried my best along with the rest of my family to take care of him at home, but as he got older,now 96, it became obvious that he needed more than what we could give him. Now, I am gong to visit him in this place that isn’t his home & definitely doesn’t feel like home. As I walk towards the building I always get on overwhelming feeling of sadness. I hate that my uncle has to be in here & that he has lost all that happiness he once had inside of him. I can’t even imagine how it feels to have to sell almost everything you ever owned & move into a strange place, with strange faces everywhere. I always think he feels like we just gave up on him, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He needed the help that only a skilled facility could provide. I finally get into the building & as soon as I enter there is a man sitting at a little desk, with a big book in front of him. That big book is where we have to “sign in” with our name, who we are there to visit, & the time we are entering. It makes this place feel more like a jail than anything else. It definitely...

...will only last until poorly train guards choose to use their guns without full comprehension of the extends of their actions. There have been many incidents involving police and armed guards doing exactly that, many lives have been lost to these incidents. “A sheriff’s deputy was at Columbine High School during the shooting, fired his weapon early, missed four times, and the total number of victims rose to 13”(Source C). The armed guards are there to protect not to add to the number of casualties. An armed guard in the hallway might give some a sense of protection to some. However most would say a student wouldn't feel safe with armed men patrolling the halls. Schools are where student go to learn, and to some students, school is their safe place. How can you feel safe when you know there are people with guns roaming the halls just waiting for something to happen? This will slowly affect kids to be afraid of what to expect when they go out in the world. Chances of another school massacre happening are very slim, and when it does happen, the guards and qualified staff are useless. The last time a school massacre as big as the Sandy Hook shooting with Adam Lanza happened was at Bath Consolidated School in Michigan in 1927. When “a...

...101R Corey Hall 9/21/11 Jordan and I were playing hide and seek. He was seeking and I was hiding under my aunt's bed. I could hear my aunt calling for Jordan to come into the kitchen, so I followed him. Peeking around the corner, I could see a short, slim black women sitting in a chair at the kitchen table. When Jordan entered the kitchen she motioned for him to take a seat in the chair across from her. I could hear her asking him questions about his mom and things that had happened to him. They talked for about thirty minutes the she and my aunt exchanged words in private. Then my aunt turned to tell Jordan to get his belongings because he was going with the lady in the kitchen. I had a funny feeling the entire time the lady was talking to my cousin. I could tell something wasn’t right, because we never really have company and when we do they always tell us kids to go play. Today was different and I was scared of what would happen. As Jordan started to pack his things I started to cry. At the time I didn’t know why I was crying but it felt nesseccary. Once Jordan finished packing we took what seemed like the longest walk ever down the hall back to the kitchen where the lady was waiting to take my cousin away. "Ready to go?" Jordan didn’t respond he just turned around hugged me and said goodbye. I watched out of...

...felt like it was miles away. The sun beamed on us as if it was watching us. Suddenly In a blink of an eye the sun disappeared and it poured down with rain, we saw a massive deserted house in front of us. As we headed towards the tree lined path, the tree’s towered over us as we walked towards the house. The house glared at us, I had unwanted feeling as if the house wanted us to retreat. But I ignored the signs and continued. As we got to the porch we saw a timeworn door. We pushed the door and it creaked open, the big rusty hinges holding onto it for dear life. The cold breeze punched my face. We found ourselves in the hallway. All the furniture was covered in white sheets. The floor had a massive old red dirty carpet spread across the hall like butter. The wallpaper was hanging off the walls; revealing long jagged cracks. Glancing up my eyes were drawn to the huge gilt edged chandelier that was hanging precariously from the ceiling. it was the only thing that made the house look better. Without warning I heard the floor boards creak upstairs, the hair prickled up my neck like a cat with a scare. I had a feel we weren’t alone in the house. My heart was beating faster than a cheetah. I felt in an awkward position as I couldn’t go outside and I didn’t want to be inside. There was a weird smell. It smelt like the house was rotting. The house was damp and mouldy, it was slowly deteriorating. We both headed for the kitchen then in a flash we fell through the floorboards and...

...Week 1, Control Jar: For the first week, the jars were filled with dirt, water, a dead stick, and a dead leaf. Once everything was inside the jars, you could barely see through it. The dirt was floating all round in the water, and the algae floated at the top and sat near the middle. Although it was hard to see, their was a small tadpole like organism that was moving fast around the edge of the jar. Week 2, Control Jar : The jar had settled down quite a lot over the course of one week. The jar was almost clear, and things behind the jar were some what visible. The mud settled to the bottom, but water could be seen in between layers of mud still. Since the mud had settled towards the bottom, the stick was more visible than before. Also, the algae had changed, it was all sitting towards the top, with only a few sitting towards the bottom. The ones towards the bottom seemed to have started to turn a brownish-black color. Still, there was visible organisms moving around in the jar. Once under the microscope, many more organisms were visible. The surface of the jar had no organisms, even after testing water, and some algae. In the middle of the jar tiny fast moving dots could be seen called colpidium. Also, a swordfish looking organisms moved across for a split second and is known as peranema. At the bottom layer, many organisms could b e seen. More colpidium could be seen, also a large slow moving spikey ball. The spiky ball is known as volvox. A long skinny...

...lightly when it comes to your education and/or work ethics. Indianapolis Stars, Steve Hall learned this after losing his career as one of the papers top critics. Intentional or unintentional, plagiarism has its major consequences and could be avoided by crediting those who deserved to be credited. Is It Worth It? : The Effects of Plagiarism After working for 13 years as one of Indianapolis Monthly’s top television critics, Steve Hall was fired after being accused of plagiarism. According to Bettie Cadou’s article, Words Fail Me (2000), “Hall took his first hit when his supervisors decided his review of the UPN wrestling program closely resembled an article by Dallas Morning News TV critic Ed Bank. Then came the final blow, when an analysis of Hall’s previous stories found another half-dozen pieces, dating to 1997, that were deemed too similar to other writers’ works.” Even though Hall at first claimed it wasn’t intentional, the hirer ups felt that too many of his articles sounded too much alike and they made the decision to release him from his duties. In the article, You Can Say That Again (2000), also written by Cadou, she gives a number of examples of Hall’s work compared to some articles in Times Magazine; “Times: The show is smart and often funny… Mr. Kilborn delivers this material with the requisite smirks and deadpan charm … he is blond and boyish and perhaps innocent looking … Hall: The show is smart, funny show draws deadpan, ironic punch lines from headlines …...

When he finally removes the hat, his entire head is swathed in a bandage. Mrs. Hall thinks he has endured some accident.

Mr. Teddy Henfrey’s First Impressions Summary Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to “repair the clock” in the stranger’s room.

Offended, Teddy talks himself into believing that the stranger is someone of a suspicious nature, perhaps even wanted by the police and is wrapped up to conceal his identity.
