Seattle Public Schools and Seattle Public LibraryKristina Darnell
The document summarizes successful collaborations between Seattle Public Schools' Roxhill Elementary and Seattle Public Library's Southwest Branch, including a parent/child book club, library presentations at Roxhill, summer STEM activities, literacy events, and a field trip bringing all Roxhill students to the Southwest Branch to promote the Summer of Learning program. The collaborations helped engage families in reading, provided professional development for teachers, and introduced students and parents to library resources.
The document discusses the need for modern libraries, especially in technologically advanced cities like Seattle, to transform themselves into information storehouses that aggressively orchestrate the coexistence of all available technologies. It references projects by Rem Koolhaas and OMA for the Seattle Public Library, as well as works by W. Bruder for the Phoenix Public Library and N. Denari for the Kansai-Kan Library.
The document discusses the Seattle Central Library, which opened in 2004 and was designed by renowned architect Rem Koolhaas. It has nine floors and houses over 1 million items in its collection, serving as the flagship library for the city of Seattle and receiving over 1.2 million visitors annually.
This document is about the Seattle Central Library, highlighting that over half of Seattle's population holds a bachelor's degree or higher, necessitating an exceptional library for such an educated city. The library is praised as being exciting yet functional, expressing the heart of Seattle, and has received awards including the 2005 AIA Award for Architecture and being named one of America's 150 favorite structures by the AIA in 2007. It hints that the architect behind this acclaimed library design is renowned but leaves their name for the reader to deduce.
This document discusses natural disasters, including what defines a natural disaster versus a natural hazard. It then lists and provides brief descriptions of common natural disasters such as earthquakes, avalanches, landslides, floods, tsunamis, blizzards, droughts, and wildfires. For earthquakes specifically, it outlines what to do before, during, and after an earthquake occurs. It also notes that earthquakes are among the most likely natural disasters to occur in Chile and lists some active volcanoes in the country.
Rem Koolhaas is a Dutch architect, founder of OMA, and known for his experimental and unconventional approach to architecture. He sees architecture as both omnipotent and impotent, and as a chaotic adventure. Some of his notable works include the Seattle Central Library, which features an unusual design with angled walls and skylights to maximize natural light. It has received both praise for its innovation and criticism for its unconventional design. Koolhaas takes a rigorous analytical approach to his projects, exploring the capabilities of materials and proper use of color.
The Seattle Public Library was designed by Rem Koolhaas and LMN Architects. It features an 11-level glass structure located in Seattle, Washington. The library's most distinctive feature is the book "spiral" - a continuous sloped surface with shelves that allows patrons easy access to materials. The interior is divided into zones including a parking area, public reading rooms, cafe, and main library space. The building's flexible and open design was meant to accommodate future expansions and innovations in information access.
Natural disasters can severely injure or kill people and cause immense property damage. In 2010, natural disasters killed 295,000 people and cost insurers $218 billion globally. The 2011 Tsunami and earthquake in Japan killed over 10,000 people, while Hurricane Katrina in 2005 alone caused $81 billion in property damage to New Orleans, flooding 80% of the city under 15 feet of water and reducing the city's population. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, organizations help with relief efforts, rebuilding, and preparing for aftermaths that can include landslides and fires.
