When Harvard Planning and Real Estate set out to rebuild the arcade's entrance, Scott Rothkopf '99 devised a plan to install students' artwork on the barriers of the construction site. He chose three artists--Matt Saunders '97, Yuh-Shioh Wong '99 and Emily Hass, a graduate student of design--and the project's only remaining problem was a lack of funds. "We couldn't spend any money at all," says Saunders, who based his piece on a 1940s film of an acrobat biting through a chain. The installation includes one large painting and four peepholes. "Construction barriers are strange...
...Linsey Marr '96, senior project inspiration stood right in her common room. Working with a Boston design firm, she refitted a halogen lamp (not yet the bane of the FDO) with a fluorescent bulb and a more efficient reflector. The result used one-third the power and produced more light than the original, but you still couldn't dry your clothes...
...market dominance. In the Intel case, the microprocessor giant has agreed not to withhold -- or threaten to withhold -- technical information as a way of getting companies to sign away intellectual property rights. Computer makers such as Compaq, IBM and Dell are highly dependent on Intel for advanced information when designing new computers that will make the most of Intel's chips. Intel can still keep information about its chips confidential for legitimate business reasons (e.g., the information is being used to design competing chips), but not as a way of muscling companies into other deals. If only it were...
Among its many problems, the Galleria had no high-end anchor store, like Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus; its two largest tenants, Robinsons and May department stores, merged and got into a messy legal dispute with the mall. Then there was the mall's odd design, which made it difficult to even know how to get into the place. Maybe most important, there were three better malls within 10 miles...
Sampler samples. The Harvard Advocate has assembled student photography from not only Harvard but also from New York's Cooper Union and the Parson School of Design. Intending to foster dialogue between Harvard artists and the New York artists, the show aims to bridge an aesthetic gap through the use of color and new printing techniques such as c-printing, silkscreen printing and digital image processing. Thus, not only are the photographs in Sampler original in terms of their subject matter and color schemes, but they also incorporate cutting-edge printing techniques. Color and technique flow together in nearly every...
