New York Architects to speak this Friday
Guiseppe Lignano and Ada Tolla from the New York based architecture firm LO/TEK will visit the University this Friday to discuss their work.
Featured in the University of Virginia School of Architecture Michael Owen Jones Memorial lecture, the two will deliver a lecture on the topic of "Urban Scans," focusing on metropolitan design.
The lecture begins at 5 pm on Friday, Jan. 31 in Campbell Hall.
Lignano and Tolla, both originally from Naples, Italy, are best known for their work incorporating images of human technology. More famous are their unconventional design concepts for the Goree Memorial and Museum in Senegal, a DJ tower in A Tribe Called Quest video and a Manhattan studio built around a recycled shipping container.
The two architects are graduates of the Universita di Napoli School of Architecture and Columbia University's postgraduate architecture program.
Dartmouth Streakers benefit from union
According to founders of a club at Dartmouth College, it was only a matter of time.
In Hanover, N.H., where "blatant nude frolicking is nothing new" according to the The Dartmouth, streakers enjoy the benefit of banding together in a union know as "The Green Streakers."
This club, which meets once a week for practice, extols the virtues of a pastime that Callie Thomson, a member of Dartmouth's Class of 2005, calls "Completely non-sexual. Comfortable, amusing and jubilant too!"
Recently the club has expanded to provide student-supported changing stations to facilitate campus nudity. They also boast an expanding membership list.
However, members report that the group, founded two years ago, has not fully come to terms with local law enforcement, explaining that they still are forced to evade security forces on a daily basis.
