The owners of a home on Whidbey Island between Coupeville and Langley desired to build a pavilion-type structure with views of the water. Due to the narrow site along the bluff, it required a substantial architectural solution for screening along the west. The design is a simple cedar-clad box without openings, that has been "carved-out" to expose the sheltered interior to carefully framed views, while creating covered outdoor spaces at the entry and waterside porch. The southeast corner was "eroded" so that the two guest suites are afforded water views despite being set back from the water. From inside, the overall effect is one of total seclusion.

In this letter, David Ben-Gurion explains to his son Amos his strong support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, even if it is only on a portion of the land, as proposed by the Peel Commission. [Ben-Gurion argues that a Jewish state, even if small, would increase Jewish strength, population, economy, and defense capabilities, allowing for further settlement of remaining lands over time through agreement with Arabs or other means if necessary.] He believes that the status quo is untenable and that a Jewish state is the beginning, not the end, of fully realizing Zionism through the settlement of the whole of Palestine.
This document provides a summary of Palestinian poet Mahmud Darwish's life and significance. It discusses how Darwish experienced the Nakba as a child, grew up under Israeli military rule, and went into exile in Lebanon. As a major Palestinian intellectual, Darwish helped reconstruct Palestinian national identity and played a key role in drafting the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence, which called for a two-state solution. Darwish was a hugely popular and influential poet who gave voice to the Palestinian experience through his works. The passing of Darwish may mark the end of an era of evolving Palestinian aspirations toward a more tolerant and compromising resolution to the conflict.
The article summarizes an interview with Mahmud Darwish, a renowned Palestinian poet. Some key points:
1) Darwish discusses finding inspiration and distance to write poetry while living in Paris. He now lives in Ramallah but finds it difficult to write under occupation.
2) He addresses controversies his work has caused in Israel, with some interpreting his poems as a call for Israelis to leave.
3) Darwish reflects on his upbringing in a village in Galilee that was destroyed in 1948, forcing his family to flee to Lebanon as refugees.
This document is a collection of poems by Mahmoud Darwish and Haroldo de Campos. Darwish's poem reflects on discovering the fragility of the earth and sea, and trying to find his place through both geography and history. He discusses using poetry to transcend national boundaries and represent Palestine on a universal scale. De Campos' poem compares Brazilian poetry to a mythological hero in that it was born fully formed, using a universal Baroque language from the start instead of having an infancy.
The poem describes the poet's experience of absence and longing for a lost love. In her absence, he creates an image of her from memories. Absence becomes his guide as he writes rhyming verses like tents pitched in the desert. Absence teaches him that without illusion, he would not have persevered. The poet questions his own identity, feeling like a passerby among symbols. He walks dreamlike through the city, leaping between moons. Without unconsciousness, things could not be freed from history. The poet is awakened from his dream to find no true place in the city except where his love exists in memory.
The document discusses the development of cadastral mapping in Palestine between 1858 and 1928. It describes how the Ottomans first introduced land registration without proper maps in 1858. Christian and Jewish settlers and the British Mandate authorities later worked to establish a modern cadastre based on statutory maps. By 1928 the British had completed land surveys for about 20% of Palestine's total area, which coincided with the boundaries of northern Israel recognized by the UN in 1947. Incomplete cadastral surveys remained a source of land disputes.
