If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

G.B. Piranesi: prison series « Previous | |Next »
May 17, 2007

Piranesi, who studied architecture, engineering, and stage design in the 18th century, is best known for his Carceri (Prisons) series. This consisted of 14 plates depicting stage prisons that he himself described as "capricious inventions".The spatial and architectural ambiguities, as well as the dramatic use of light and form, are characteristic of this series.

My first car was a Ford Geo. Thing was a piece of junk.
Got me to point A to B so I guess that's all that matters. my current car is a chevy silverado. I
was lucky to get a good 60 second auto quote on that sucker so I'm happy with it. My dream
car is a Lamborghini Galllardo. Anyone see the new Reventon? Anyway what's your story?
