read comments (0)| Architecture of Flight Exhibition is Worlds First to Focus on Airport Design |
12 Jan |

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) November 30, 2011
Airports are an integral part of the worlds economic and cultural landscape. At this moment, a million people are in the air bound somewhere for business or pleasure, according to data from the Airport Council Internationals World Airport Traffic Report 2010. The same report anticipates that by 2016, the annual number of air passengers will surpass the worlds population.* But just 100 years ago, airports were simple grassy strips of land and air travel was primarily reserved for military missions. What changed?
Now Boarding: Fentress Airports + The Architecture of Flight answers this question with a multi-media journey through the past, present and speculative future of airport design. The exhibition opens at the Denver Art Museum in July 2012, and will travel internationally through 2015.
Through the use of film, digital art, animation, models, drawings, photographs and architectural elements, the exhibit will explore the architectural evolution of airport design.
Many people travel through airports, but few understand the creative and technical influences behind their design, said curator Donald Albrecht. This exhibition will allow visitors a rare opportunity to explore the evolution of airport design and to discover, in particular, the creative process of Curtis Fentress, whose airports are known for their functionality and beauty.
The exhibit will take visitors on a journey through six airports designed by Curtis Fentress, initially in concert with his partner, now retired, Jim Bradburn: Denver International Airport in Colorado; Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea; Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington; Mineta San Jose International Airport in northern California; Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina; and Los Angeles International Airport in southern California.
I am honored to be featured in this groundbreaking exhibition, said Curtis Fentress, Founder and Principal-in-Charge of Design for Fentress Architects. So often the creative process in architecture occurs quietly between the design team and the client, so it is exciting to give everyone a chance to see behind the scenes.
This exploration of airport design does not end with the airports of today, however. Visitors will also take an interactive, multi-media look into the imagined future of airport design, 50 to 150 years from now.
Airports are shaped by many influences, including aircraft design; sociological, political and cultural forces; technological innovations and more. As a building type, airports are still in their infancyeven skyscrapers are older, predating airports by almost forty years. The Airport of the Future gallery will showcase ideas for the future of airport design proposed by think tanks of thought leaders across a multitude of disciplines. Many of the ideas are based upon concepts and innovations being advanced today, while others are based upon pure imagination.
The Airport of the Future gallery will also feature winning designs from the Fentress Global Challenge: Airport of the Future. In this international competition, students worldwide were invited to present their vision for the airport of the future. Over 900 submissions were received from 77 countries and will be reviewed by a jury of industry experts. Finalists will be announced in February 2012. For more information on this program, visit http://www.theairportofthefuture.com.
Now Boarding is being developed by noted architectural curator Donald Albrecht, in collaboration with the Denver Art Museum. Peter Christensen served as the exhibitions assistant curator along with Darrin Alfred, Associate Curator of Architecture, Design and Graphics at the Denver Art Museum.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, also called Now Boarding: Fentress Airports + The Architecture of Flight, featuring essays by Christoph Heinrich, Donald Albrecht, Peter Christensen, Gillian Fuller, Tibbie Dunbar and Curtis Fentress. The book will be available through web retailers, including http://www.amazon.com, as well as the Denver Art Museum Shop.
The Denver Art Museum is located on 13th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock Streets in downtown Denver. Open TuesdayThursday and SaturdaySunday 10 a.m.5 p.m., Friday 10 a.m.8 p.m.; closed Mondays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. General admission for Colorado residents: $ 10 adults, $ 8 seniors and students, $ 3 for visitors 6-18, free for children 5 and younger. Admission for non-Colorado residents: $ 13 for adults, $ 10 for seniors and students, $ 5 for visitors 6-18, free for children 5 and younger. For information in Spanish, call 720-913-0169.

Donald Albrecht is curator of architecture and design at the Museum of the City of New York, and is also an independent curator. His exhibitions include international traveling retrospectives of architect Eero Saarinen and designers Charles and Ray Eames as well as Cecil Beaton: The New York Years: Cars, Culture, and the City: and Paris/New York: Design Fashion Culture, 192540.

| Driving America, The World’s Premier Automotive Exhibition, To Open January 2012 At The Henry Ford |
8 Jan |

Dearborn, Mich (PRWEB) December 01, 2011
Driving America, a brand new, one-of-a-kind automotive experience at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan will open to the public January 29, 2012.
Centered around an unparalleled collection of historically significant vehicles, this remarkable mix of authentic artifacts, digital media, interactive play and personal accounts focuses on the enormous influence the automobile has had on American culturefrom the automotive innovations that have changed our lives to the everyday choices we make.
Driving America is more than an exhibition with cars on display, said Patricia Mooradian, president of The Henry Ford. It is really an interactive, state-of-the-art story of usus as drivers, consumers and enthusiasts. It examines the car as an innovation and explores how it has changed almost every aspect of our lives and heavily influenced the decisions we make. It is an exhibition that resonates with us all and it will challenge us to think differently about what we drive.
One of the largest automotive-centric exhibitions of its kind, Driving America is a sweeping 80,000 square feet and includes 130 vehicles and more than 60 cases of artifacts. Sprinkled throughout the experience are 18 interactive 42-inch touchscreens offering thousands of additional details, images, videos and oral histories, all of which give the visitor greater access, beyond the museum floor, to the collections of The Henry Ford. Guests can create their own custom collection that can be accessed through their mobile device or home computer for viewing later.
We wanted to develop content around what the visitor was seeing, said Mooradian. All of the interactives are designed to be learning experiences and activities that utilize artifacts from the extensive Henry Ford collection.
For those who are all about the cars themselves, Driving America offers up a stellar and unprecedented collection of some of the most important and significant vehicles of our time including an 1896 Duryea, the last remaining example of Americas first production car, the 1865 Roper, the oldest surviving American car, and the 1931 Bugatti Royale the third of only six ever built in the world. Century-old electric cars, current hybrids, muscle cars, racers and modern-day SUVs fill the exhibitions 20 focal areas that cover everything from hot rods and road trips to road food and racing.
What makes this exhibition different from most is that it looks at cars through the eyes of the people who use them, or in some cases, dont use them, said Bob Casey, senior curator of transportation for The Henry Ford. Visitors will be asked to think about what attracted them to automobiles in the first place. How have their definitions of style or luxury changed over time? How have their attitudes towards safety, or recreation, or environmental costs changed? Driving America uses The Henry Fords unparalleled collection to inspire visitors to think about these and other questions surrounding their relationships with the car.
Driving America will also include a brand-new theater experience complete with a new signature film that examines how the automobile has truly transformed our world and highlights the choices that lie ahead. In addition, an old favorite, the 1946 Lamys Diner, will for the first time offer diner-style fare for hungry visitors.

| Experts List the Top Home Security Tips for the Holiday Season on HomeSecurityGuru.com |
5 Jan |

(PRWEB) December 05, 2011
HomeSecurityGuru.com surveyed security experts to find out what homeowners should be doing this holiday season to protect their property. The result was a comprehensive list focuses on avoiding social media behavior that can leave you more susceptible, how to safely decorate a home and staging your home if you’re leaving for the holidays.
While most people see the holidays as an opportunity to enjoy more time with their family and friends, thieves see it as a time when there’s more to steal. “During the winter months break-ins increase because it is dark early and also this time of year especially, there is new merchandise from holiday shopping to steal,” said Ken Mara, President of World Wide Security in Garden City, N.Y.
Today, thieves have gone high tech using social sites to find their victims. Megan Nicole O’Neal, Marketing Communications Coordinator for SDA Security told HomeSecurityGuru.com that”one of the newest ways burglars are deciding who to target during the holidays is by simply going onto social media sites. Burglars have gone digital and homeowners should be cautious before posting statuses. These statuses are common ways people accidentally reveal their house will be unoccupied for several days or weeks at a time, essentially advertising their home as a sitting duck and making the job much easier for burglars looking for a quick target.”
Another mistake that people make during the holiday season is not being careful enough to protect their identity and falling for phony charity scams. During the holidays “donations seem the right thing to do,” added Alexis A. Moore, a consumer safety expert and former investigator. “Many collecting monies are not what they appear to be and this impacts millions of seniors every year who fall prey to the scams that are out there. The tough economic times make it even more difficult to know who is friend or foe. Many are eager to steal your id or worse. Better to be safe than sorry.”
