Our self, aware presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room, it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is freedom

Nocilla Dream is one of the most daring literary experiments of recent years, exploring the mysterious connections between the lives of marginal figures in a globalised society. Everything starts in the Nevada desert, where a solitary tree is covered in pairs of shoes. By a butterfly effect, a chain of events affects a host of bad B-movie characters littered across the globe. Brothel blondes in the Midwest dream of absconding eastwards; anti-crats live in newly formed micro-nations underground; an Argentine man living in a motel in Las Vegas builds a peculiar monument to Jorge Luis Borges - Full of references to indie cinema, collage, conceptual art, practical architecture, the history of computers and the decadence of the novel, the first instalment of the Nocilla Trilogy finds beauty in emptiness and kick-starts a regeneration in Spanish literature.

Considerations given to thermal qualities in the design and construction of buildings worldwide and throughout history are examined in an attempt to show the importance of thermal qualities in effective building design Our thermal environment is as rich in cultural associations as our visual, acoustic,olfactory, and tactile environments. This book explores the potential for using thermal qualities asan expressive element in building design.Until quite recently, building technology and design hasfavored high-energy-consuming mechanical methods of neutralizing the thermal environment. It has notresponded to the various ways that people use, remember, and care about the thermal environment andhow they associate their thermal sense with their other senses. The hearth fire, the sauna, theRoman and Japanese baths, and the Islamic garden are discussed as archetypes of thermal delightabout which rituals have developed -- reinforcing bonds of affection and ceremony forged in thethermal experience. Not only is thermal symbolism now obsolete but the modern emphasis on centralheating systems and air conditioning and hermetically sealed buildings has actually damaged ourthermal coping and sensing mechanisms. This book for the solar age could help change all that andopen up for us a new dimension of architectural experience. As the cost of energy continues toskyrocket, alternatives to the use of mechanical force must be developed to meet our thermal needs.A major alternative is the use of passive solar energy, and the book will provide those interestedin solar design with a reservoir of ideas.Lisa Heschong earned a degree in Environmental Planningfrom the University of California at Berkeley and once in Architecture from MIT.

Ein Blick zurück in eine analoge, entschleunigte WeltDie Bilderserie aus dem damaligen Italien vermittelt den Eindruck, als wäre man auf einer Zeitreise in die 80er Jahre zurückgebeamt worden - in eine Zeit ohne Smartphones und Internet, in eine Zeit, in der es im Straßenbild noch keine E-Scooters, Kaffeehausketten oder Fast-Food-Restaurants gab. Das pulsierende Leben spielte sich vorwiegend draußen ab - ein Freilufttheater auf den Piazzas sowie in den Cafés: die Straße als ,Bühne des Lebens'.

The author describes his discover of Calabria as a love affair started more than 45 years ago. A first visit in 1967 was followed by a long wandering -in very large part on foot-, through on of the most forgotten areas of Southern Italy. A charming description of landscapes, of towns and villages, of people is rounded out with pictures, some account of local history and traditions, and even occasional involvement in local affairs. Of traveling companions I have had a few: an old donkey on an early trek, a very young son on some winter journeys; students on two summer walks; very occasionally people met by chance in some lonely place in the mountains, with intentions similar to mine for one or two days; and for that one part of the journey covered exclusively by train and bus, my wife. But by far the longest stretches involved solitary walking, preferably away from surfaced roads, on the network of tracks linking villages and small towns in the wilder, rougher parts of Calabria and Basilicata There is still some residual prejudice against people travelling rough, particularly if they look to be of an age when they should be traveling in style, enjoying the deserved comforts of old age rather than wandering on foot all over the place especially in winter. Children, who are likely to run after you crying È arrivato Babbo Natale as you stagger into some small place at dusk on a winter evening, are a welcome part of Christmas cheer. But the malice of adults shouting Tedesco, barbone and other epithets, and of stony-faced innkeepers saying there is no room at the inn when there clearly is, simply because they do not like the look of you, is hardly pleasant. Yet such were isolated incidents, far outweighed by the generosity of most people met on or off the road. Autorid: Edward Mallia, Gruppo Albatros
