About surface: craftsmanship in large buildings is supposed to be dead, killed by Modernist ideology and cost considerations. What this building says is that maybe craftsmanship has a high-tech future after all. To connect the de Young visually to its setting in Golden Gate Park, the architects have wrapped the structure in a copper skin embossed and perforated to produce, from a distance, the appearance of dappled sunlight filtering through trees. That pattern was copied from the blurred pixels of a digital photograph, then converted by computer into a blueprint to guide the manufacture of holes and indentations...
...employee and two friends. Their mission: to retrieve the team's teal uniforms, a batch of video equipment and a few computers to ship to another city when--or if--the Hornets started their preseason training camp.

While many of Warp Records’ other IDM (so-called “intelligent dance music,” although it is seldom danceable) groups use the trendiest technology to produce cold, hyper-digitized beats, BoC has rejected “laptop music” and, instead, embraced the wavering grittiness of analog equipment and out-dated sound samplers...
...reviews by peer institutions and recruiters, and the percentage of international students and faculty at the institution. Two hundred universities worldwide were ranked by THES. Yale and Princeton, ranked seventh and ninth respectively, were the only other Ivy League institutions to crack the top 10, which also included Cal Tech and France’s Ecole Polytechnique. Duke University rose from 52nd last year to tie the London School of Economics at number eleven this year. Martin J.
