Frank O. Gehry: desarrollo y antecedentes del concurso del Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao. Recursos y Estrategias Gráficas empleadas.

Frank O. Gehry. Desarrollo del concurso del Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao. Recursos y Estrategias Gráficas empleadas en la adjudicación del concurso. Frank O. Gehry. Museo Guggenheim Bilbao. Concurso Junio 1991. Coodje Van Bruggen, en su libro sobre el Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao, publicado por el propio museo y la Fundación que lleva su nombre en el a��o 1997, nos informa que, en el a��o 1991 se convoca concurso restringido por la Fundación Guggenheim, para la realización del proyecto de un Museo que se erigiese como satélite de una de las mayores colecciones de arte contemporáneo del mundo, la de la Fundación Solomon Guggenheim. Se realizará una exposición de las circunstancias que llevaron a la elección del proyecto de F. O. Gehry como ganador en el proceso de selección del concurso. Se pretenden desvelar las hipótesis que, después de un largo trayecto, hacen viable la ubicación del museo en la ciudad de Bilbao, y no en otras ciudades de nuestro pa��s, o incluso en otros pa��ses, y como, la figura del arquitecto F. O. Gehry con diferentes estrategias proyectuales, apoyadas en diferentes planteamientos gráficos y modelísticos, siempre al servicio de los requisitos de la propiedad, derrota a sus contrincantes arquitectos en el concurso, y es capaz de llevar a cabo la construcción del citado museo. Se hará hincapié, y se prestará especial importancia y explicación, a los desarrollos gráficos y modelísticos desarrollados por el arquitecto F. O. Gehry para el desarrollo de la propuesta arquitectónica en sus diferentes fases ejecutorias, hasta la presentación de los documentos del proyecto a ejecutar, y posteriormente se contrastarán las intenciones y los conceptos arquitectónicos manejados en la documentación gráfica elaborada, en relación a la obra ejecutada y la relación de la obra ejecutada con la ciudad de Bilbao. Se analizará e investigará en las circunstancias que llevaron a la Fundación Guggenheim, después de un amplio periodo de tiempo de inactividad fuera de su sede de New York, y coincidiendo con el relevo de Thomas Messer como director del museo, por Thomas Krens en 1987, a plantear una política de expansión de sus sedes como museos satélites o franquicias, pero siempre controladas por la sede central ubicada en el Museo Guggenheim de New York diseñado por F. LL. Wright. En la actualidad, ésta política de expansión de la colección de la Fundación Guggenheim sigue latente. En otro orden de importancia se analizará, de manera escueta, el paralelismo existente en la gestación del Museo Guggenheim de New York y la figuras de Solomon Guggenheim, la baronesa Hilla Rebay, Harry Frank?y el arquitecto F. LL. Wright, y la gestación del Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao y las figuras de Thomas Krens?y el arquitecto F. O. Gehry. Se incluirán en la comunicación imágenes explicativas de los desarrollos gráficos realizados por los arquitectos en la presentación del concurso, así como imágenes de transformación y desarrollo de éstas hasta la conclusión con imágenes explicativas de la obra construida.

Knowledge Organization in Transmedia Fictional Worlds: A Study of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Marvel Universe, and Star Wars

Currently there is no structured data standard for representing elements commonly found in transmedia fictional universes. There are websites dedicated to individual universes, however, information found on these sites separates the various formats into books, movies, comics, etc.; concentrate on only the bibliographic aspects of the material; and are only full-text searchable. We have created an ontological model that will allow researchers, fans, brand managers, and creators to search for and retrieve the information contained in these worlds based on how they are structured. We conducted a domain analysis and user studies based on the contents of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Marvel Universe, and Star Wars in order to build a new model using the Ontology Web Language (OWL) and an artificial intelligence reasoning engine. This model can infer connections between characters, elements of power, items, places, events, etc. This model will facilitate better search and retrieval of the information contained within these vast story universes for all users interested in them. The result of this project is and OWL ontology that is intuitive for users; can be used by AI systems; and has been updated to reflect real user needs based on user research.

Severus Snape : The Complexity and Unconventional Heroism of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter Books

Being an evildoer and being evil is not always the same thing; author J.K Rowling’s character Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series is balancing on that very line. Although being unfair and mean to the protagonist Harry Potter all through the series, Professor Snape is revealed as a hero in the seventh book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007). This essay focuses on some of the complex psychological reasons as to why Snape acts the way he does towards Harry and why many readers consider him to be just as great a hero as the protagonist. It argues that his difficult upbringing is the cause of his complexity and the series of books are analyzed from a structuralist perspective, using A.J Greimas’ actantial model and Frank Kermode’s theories about endings and plot twists. Snape’s hate for Harry’s father, caused by years of bullying, is examined as well as his love for Harry’s mother. This essay also discusses in what ways Snape’s change of allegiance, brought on by his eternal love for Harry’s mother, is a great aid in defeating the Dark Lord.

Between Two Worlds : Harry Reade, the Sydney waterfront and Cuban animation

Harry Reade (1927-1998) was an Australian waterside worker-artist who became involved with animation production through the Waterside Workers’ Federation Film Unit, in Sydney. During the early years of the Cuban Revolution, Reade contributed to Cuba���s social and cultural reform process by influencing the development of the educational sector of Cuban animation. This article examines the forces that shaped Reade and the ways in which he contributed to the use of animation as an agent of social change.

Frank and Stein : from research scientist to creative writer (a screenplay and exegesis)

The screenplay, “Perfect Blood” (Frank and Stein), is the first two-hour episode of a two-part television miniseries Frank and Stein. This creative work is a science fiction story that speculates on the future of Western nations in a world where petroleum is scarce. A major theme that has been explored in the miniseries is the tension between the advantages and dangers of scientific progress without regard to human consequences. “Perfect Blood” (Frank and Stein) was written as part of my personal creative journey, which has been the transformation from research scientist to creative writer. In the exegetical component of this thesis, I propose that a key challenge for any scientist writing science fiction is the shift from conducting empirical research in a laboratory-based situation to engaging in creative practice research. During my personal creative journey, I found that a predominant difficulty in conducting research within a creative practice-led paradigm was unleashing my creativity and personal viewpoint, practices that are frowned upon in scientific research. The aim of the exegesis is to demonstrate that the transformative process from science to art is not neat and well-structured. My personal creative journey was fraught with many ‘wrong’ turns. However, after reflecting on the experience, I realise that every varied piece of research that I undertook allowed me to progress to the next stage, the next draft of Frank and Stein. And via the disorder of the creative process, a screenplay finally emerged that was both structured and creative, which are equally essential elements in screenwriting.

Replication of the Frank-Starling response in a Mock Circulation loop

Mock circulation loops (MCLs) are used to evaluate cardiovascular devices prior to in-vivo trials; however they lack the vital autoregulatory responses that occur in humans. This study aimed to develop and implement a left and right ventricular Frank-Starling response in a MCL. A proportional controller based on ventricular end diastolic volume was used to control the driving pressure of the MCL’s pneumatically operated ventricles. Ventricular pressure-volume loops and end systolic pressure-volume relationships were produced for a variety of healthy and pathological conditions and compared with human data to validate the simulated Frank-Starling response. The non-linear Frank-Starling response produced in this study successfully altered left and right ventricular contractility with changing preload and was validated with previously reported data. This improvement to an already detailed MCL has resulted in a test rig capable of further refining cardiovascular devices and reducing the number of in-vivo trials.

Frank-starling control of a left ventricular assist device

A physiological control system was developed for a rotary left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in which the target pump flow rate (LVADQ) was set as a function of left atrial pressure (LAP), mimicking the Frank-Starling mechanism. The control strategy was implemented using linear PID control and was evaluated in a pulsatile mock circulation loop using a prototyped centrifugal pump by varying pulmonary vascular resistance to alter venous return. The control strategy automatically varied pump speed (2460 to 1740 to 2700 RPM) in response to a decrease and subsequent increase in venous return. In contrast, a fixed-speed pump caused a simulated ventricular suction event during low venous return and higher ventricular volumes during high venous return. The preload sensitivity was increased from 0.011 L/min/mmHg in fixed speed mode to 0.47L/min/mmHg, a value similar to that of the native healthy heart. The sensitivity varied automatically to maintain the LAP and LVADQ within a predefined zone. This control strategy requires the implantation of a pressure sensor in the left atrium and a flow sensor around the outflow cannula of the LVAD. However, appropriate pressure sensor technology is not yet commercially available and so an alternative measure of preload such as pulsatility of pump signals should be investigated.
