200 | you're seeing on the right is the design of the library specifically in terms of square footage on the left of that diagram here you'll see a series of five platforms sort of combs collective programs and on the right are the more indeterminate spaces things like reading rooms whose evolution in years we can't predict ... | 1 |
201 | so you see the five platforms those are the boxes within each one a very discrete thing is happening the area in between is sort of an urban continuum these things that we can't predict their evolution to the same degree to give you some sense of the power of this idea the biggest block is what we call the book spiral ... | 1 |
202 | this is actually a program that we invented with the library it was recognizing that public libraries are the last vestige of public free space there are plenty of shopping malls that allow you to get out of the rain in downtown seattle but there are not so many free places that allow you to get out of the rain so this... | 1 |
204 | first the physical constraints we actually had to operate on three discrete sites all of them well smaller than the size of the building we had to operate next to the new muhammad ali center and respect it we had to operate within the floodplain now this area floods three to four times a year and there's a levee behind... | 1 |
205 | and now we're going to add million square feet and if we did the traditional thing that million square feet these are the different programs the traditional thing would be to identify the public elements place them on sites and now we'd have a really terrible situation a public thing in the middle of a bathtub that flo... | 1 |
207 | the second the second is that this process does not have a signature there is no authorship architects are obsessed with authorship this is something that has editing and it has teams but in fact we no longer see within this process the traditional master architect creating a sketch that his minions carry out and the t... | 0 |
208 | high modernists said we will create sort of singular spaces that are generic almost anything can happen within them i call it sort of shotgun flexibility turn your head this way shoot and you're bound to kill something so this is the promise of high modernism within a single space actually any kind of activity can happ... | 0 |
209 | to talk about i'm going to build up the seattle central library in this way before your eyes in about five or six diagrams and i truly mean this is the design process that you'll see with the library staff and the library board we settled on two core positions this is the first one and this is showing over the last yea... | 0 |
210 | so what you're seeing now is actually the design of the building the upper diagram is what we had seen in a whole host of contemporary libraries that used high modernist flexibility sort of any activity could happen anywhere we don't know the future of the library we don't know the future of the book and so we'll use t... | 0 |
212 | he wasn't content with the way the newspapers published it to be safe and legal he threw it all out there that did end up with vulnerable people in afghanistan being exposed it also meant that the dictator was given a handy list of all the pro democracy campaigners in that country who had spoken to the u s government i... | 1 |
213 | so what is the solution it is i believe to embody within the rule of law rights to information at the moment our rights are incredibly weak in a lot of countries we have official secrets acts including in britain here we have an official secrets act with no public interest test so that means it's a crime people are pun... | 1 |
214 | they've locked all the doors they've kidded out the house with cameras they're watching all of us they've dug a basement and they've built a spy center to try and run algorithms and figure out which ones of us are troublesome and if any of us complain about that we're arrested for terrorism well is that a fairy tale or... | 1 |
215 | a time the world was a big dysfunctional family it was run by the great and powerful parents and the people were helpless and hopeless naughty children if any of the more children questioned the authority of the parents they were scolded if they went exploring into the parents' rooms or even into the secret filing cabi... | 0 |

218 | so what i'd like to talk about is something that was very dear to kahn's heart which is how do we discover what is really particular about a project how do you discover the uniqueness of a project as unique as a person because it seems to me that finding this uniqueness has to do with dealing with the whole force of gl... | 1 |

221 | so you know it's one of those things that you don't take too seriously but two weeks later i was in this little town outside the capital of the punjab and the temple and also next to it the fortress that the last guru of the sikhs guru died in as he wrote the khalsa which is their holy scripture and i got to work and t... | 1 |

224 | a for those who don't know is the surface of a doughnut or for some of us a bagel and out of this idea started spinning off many many kinds of variations of different plans and possibilities and then the plan itself evolved in relationship to the exhibits and you see the intersection of the plan with the geometry | 0 |
225 | and finally the building this is the model and when there were complaints about budget i said well it's worth doing the island because you get twice for your money reflections and here's the building as it opened with a channel overlooking downtown and as seen from downtown and the bike going right through the building... | 0 |

228 | well they said people won't understand they'll think it's a discotheque you can't do that and they shelved the project and it sat there for years and then one day abe spiegel from los angeles who had lost his three son at auschwitz came saw the model wrote the check and it got built years later so many years after that... | 0 |
229 | so many years after that in i was on one of my monthly trips to jerusalem and i got a call from the foreign ministry saying we've got the chief minister of the punjab here he is on a state visit we took him on a visit to we took him to the children's memorial he was extremely moved he's demanding to meet the architect ... | 0 |

239 | because what's the difference so the more i did this research the more i thought there has to be a better way to do this and for me the key to this problem is that all these different puncture devices share a common set of fundamental physics so what are those physics let's go back to drilling through a wall so you're ... | 0 |

370 | now what's amazing about these images from years ago is that they're familiar to us today we see what democracy looks like we experience the effects of good government in our lives just as lorenzetti did in his life but it is the allegory of bad government that has been haunting me since november it's badly damaged but... | 1 |

391 | so she did this threat display for a few minutes and then the most amazing thing happened she totally relaxed she went off she got a penguin she stopped about feet away from me and she sat there with this penguin the flapping and she let's it go the penguin swims toward me takes off she grabs another one she does this ... | 1 |
392 | so realizing i couldn't catch swimming penguins she'd get these other penguins and bring them slowly towards me bobbing like this and she'd let them go this didn't work i was laughing so hard and so emotional that my mask was flooding because i was crying underwater just because it was so amazing and so that didn't wor... | 1 |
393 | this went on for four days this just didn't happen a couple of times and then so she realized i couldn't catch live ones so she brought me dead penguins | 1 |
394 | and she would often stop and have this dejected look on her face like are you for real because she can't believe i can't eat this penguin because in her world you're either breeding or you're eating and i'm not breeding so | 1 |
395 | and she would get frustrated she'd blow bubbles in my face she would i think let me know that i was going to starve but yet she didn't stop she would not stop trying to feed me penguins and on the last day with this female where i thought i had pushed her too far i got nervous because she came up to me she rolled over ... | 1 |
