Efectos especiales en arquitectura, efectos espaciales en cine. (Un recorrido por Apocalypse Now y la Facultad de Arquitectura de Oporto)

Esta comunicación pretende mostrar cómo ?el color? es un mecanismo de manipulación de la percepción espacio temporal que, aunque presente en otras artes, merece especial atención por su utilización de forma análoga en la arquitectura y en el cine como herramienta capaz de ?modelar? el espacio y alterar el tiempo. Para ilustrar este análisis, cada uno de los conceptos se aborda a través de dos recurrentes y conocidos ejemplos: un edificio, La Facultad de arquitectura de Oporto (1983-1996) del arquitecto Alvaro Siza (1933) y una película, Apocalypse Now Redux (versión ampliada 2001) del director y guionista de cine Francis Ford Coppola (1933). Aunque podrían mostrase las mismas estrategias en multitud de obras de arquitectura o de cine, se ha preferido concentrar la atención únicamente en estos dos casos, para poder llevar dicho análisis en paralelo a ambas disciplinas y facilitar así la comprensión de sus analogías.

Now Streaming: A Consortial PDA Video Pilot Project

In 2014, eight academic libraries in the state of New York collaborated on a group patron driven acquisition (PDA) pilot program with Kanopy, a video streaming service for libraries. The institutions, despite vast differences in size and profile, each launched Kanopy’s streaming solution on their campuses under a program where they would jointly contribute to and acquire films based on group usage. The pilot ran for seven months and led to some fascinating insights into the differences in demand for film across campuses, the possibility of PDA as a model for library acquisition, and the feasibility of a group approach to acquisition. This paper presents the background to, results of, and reflections on the pilot program from the three unique perspectives of the consortium, the vendor, and one of the libraries involved, providing a holistic view of the success of the pilot and the lessons learned.
