Book Description
This book introduces a series of design stories with provocative story lines around some of the firm's most prominent projects. Each of the stories reveals the search that is inherent in the architectural design effort to evoke the spirit of each place by noting the unique circumstances for each client and property. The stories delve into planning and design aspects that reveal how spirit of place contributes to design meaning, and how creative expression can be discovered in pragmatic problem-solving. Within the stories, we uncover comparisons to older or ancient work in Hawaii, Indonesia, Mexico, and other locales, to underscore the significance of timeless principles in creating a harmonic living environment. "Spirit" is the intangible yet significant and even experientially transformative quality behind what endears one to a place or building. This book reveals the design philosophy of de Reus Architects: searching for design innovation by embracing tradition and timelessness, while applying modern and sustainable sensibilities.

Tropical Diaspora
Author: Robert M. Levine
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781558765214
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
"This unique, well-documented social history invites the reader to explore Cuban Jewry as a fascinating chronicle and to 'capture the flavor of their lives.' This is made possible by Levine's ability to write a text composed of carefully collated data, excellent illustrations, and oral testimonies. Levine's book contributes to an understanding of Cuban Jewry's unique setting -- starting from colonial times, through its second American diaspora following the 1959 communist revolution. ... Levine traces several stages of Jewish immigration to Cuba, starting with American businessmen rapidly integrated ... in some cases, into the Cuban upper class; Sephardic emigrants from Turkey, who were more socially accepted by Creole and other ethnic groups; ... and thousands of East European Jews arriving after 1924, who perceived the island as a kind of 'immigration hotel' on their way to America. ... Levine devotes two fascinating chapters to Jewish refugees escaping to Cuba before and during World War II. The tragic journey of 973 refugees carried by the St. Louis, whose landing permit had been retroactively denied by the Cuban government, is told by Levine through both dramatic oral testimonies and archival documentation." --Florida Historical Quarterly
