SEATTLE ART MUSEUM

The Seattle Art Museum (commonly known as "SAM") is an art museum located

in Seattle, Washington, USA. It maintains three major facilities: its main museum

in downtown Seattle; the Seattle Asian Art Museum(SAAM) in Volunteer

Park on Capitol Hill, and the Olympic Sculpture Park on the central Seattle

waterfront, which opened on January 20, 2007. Admission to the sculpture park is

always free. Admission to the other facilities is free on the first Thursday of each

month; SAM also offers free admission the first Saturday of the month. And even the

normal admission is suggested, meaning that the museum would like visitors to pay

the complete admission but if they can not pay fully they can still enjoy the museum.

VILLA LA ROTANDA

VILLA LA ROTANDA

VILLA LA ROTANDA Design

The site selected was a hilltop just outside the city of Vicenza. Unlike some other Palladian villas, the building was not designed

from the start to accommodate a working farm. This sophisticated building was designed for a site which was, in modern

terminology, "suburban". Palladio classed the building as a "palazzo" rather than a villa.

Palladio's plan of Villa La Rotonda, in I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura 1570.

The design is for a completely symmetrical building having a square plan with four facades, each of which has a

projecting portico. The whole is contained within an imaginary circle which touches each corner of the building and centres of the

porticos. (illustration, left). The name La Rotonda refers to the central circular hall with its dome. To describe the villa, as a whole,

as a 'rotonda' is technically incorrect, as the building is not circular but rather the intersection of a square with a cross. Each

portico has steps leading up, and opens via a small cabinet or corridor to the circular domed central hall. This and all other rooms

were proportioned with mathematical precision according to Palladio's own rules of architecture which he published in

the Quattro Libri dell'Architettura. The design reflected the humanist values of Renaissance architecture. In order for each room to

have some sun, the design was rotated 45 degrees from each cardinal point of the compass. Each of the four porticos

has pediments graced by statues of classical deities. The pediments were each supported by six Ionic columns. Each portico was

flanked by a single window. All principal rooms were on the second floor orpiano nobile.

Building began in 1567. Palladio, and the owner, Paolo Almerico, were not to see the completion of the villa. Palladio died in 1580

and a second architect, Vincenzo Scamozzi, was employed by the new owners to oversee the completion. One of the major

changes he made to the original plan was to modify the two-storey centre hall.

Interior of the rotonda

Palladio had intended it to be covered by a high semi-circular dome but Scamozzi designed a lower dome with

an oculus (intended to be open to the sky) inspired by thePantheon in Rome. The dome was ultimately completed with a cupola

KRESGE COLLEGE

Kresge College is one of the residential colleges that make up the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Founded in 1971, Kresge is located on the western edge of the UCSC campus. Kresge is the sixth of ten

colleges at UCSC, and originally one of the most experimental. The first provost of Kresge, Bob Edgar, had

been strongly influenced by his experience in T-groups run by NTL Institute. He asked a T-group facilitator,

psychologist Michael Kahn, to help him start the college. When they arrived at UCSC, they taught a course,

Creating Kresge College, in which they and the students in it designed the college. Kresge was a participatory

democracy, and students had extraordinary power in the early years. The college was run by two committees:

Community Affairs and Academic Affairs. Any faculty member, student or staff member who wanted to be on

these committees could be on them. Students' votes counted as much as the faculty or staff. These committees

determined the budgets and hiring. They were also run by consensus. Distinguished early faculty members

included Gregory Bateson, former husband of Margaret Mead and author of Steps to an Ecology of Mind; Phil

Slater, author of The Pursuit of Loneliness; John Grinder, co-founder of Neuro-linguistic programming and co-

author of The Structure of Magic and William Everson, one of the Beat poets.

Distinguished graduates from the early days of Kresge College include Doug Foster, who went on to become

editor of Mother Jones magazine, and Richard Bandler, who co-founded Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

with John Grinder.

Architecture

The architecture of Kresge College is

designed to resemble a residential area

in Tuscany, and includes a piazzetta next

to the mail room and college office.
