June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduction
“For every site, there is an ideal use. For every use, there is an ideal site”
[John Ormsbee Simonds]
The professional works like landscape architecture projects should be developed in systematic process.
Its purpose is to best arrange the elements of any planned development in relation to the natural and
constructed features of a site and its environs. The responsibility of a designer is to guide those involved
in the best solution and to help ensure in all ways possible the project’s success.
Objectives of Project
The objectives of this project:
To explore the anatomy of landscape project and process involved in every stages.
To demonstrate the understanding of site selection and site analysis via graphic
communication skills.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to demonstrate the following:
1. Fundamental comprehension on how to conduct site selection and site analysis for better
execution of a landscape project.
Tasks - Methodology
GROUP TASK
In a group of 6 to 7 members, you need to select one landed residence with a compound or an open
space within the boundary. There is no limit of the size of the residence, however the least acceptable
option is a semi-detached house or corner lot house. In order to carry out this project, students are
required to obtain the base plan of the residence itself from the particular owner. If the base plan is
not provided, you need to measure on site and produce the plan with suitable scale on your own.
2. 2
Task 1
As a group, you need to organize a site visit and do a site survey. You are to conduct a site
inventory and analysis of the existing condition based on the following information:
1) Site Location and Context
- Identify location of the house and land uses surrounding it (e.g., next to main road, at the
school, or near to school etc.)
2) Topography
- Identify the existing landform and slope condition (e.g., flat, hilly or steep, gentle slope
etc.)
- Identify the elevation changes (if any) (e.g., steps or retaining walls etc.)
3) Drainage
- Identify location the drainage and water spots on specific area.
4) Vegetation
- Identify existing types of vegetation/softscape (provision of common name or scientific
name is an advantage)
5) Microclimate
- Identify direction of sunrise, sunset and wind direction
6) Existing Structure
- Identify existing structure (e.g., swimming pool, driveway/porch/garage, steps, gazebo,
pergola etc.)
- Identify rubbish bin/dumping spot, cloth line etc.
7) Views
- Observe and identify views from all vantage points;
i. On-site views – from inside of the house looking outside.
ii. Off-site views – from outside (all angle/sides of the house, street) looking inside.
- Identify the good and bad views.
Task 2
After the site inventory and analysis are done, as a group you are required to develop a site synthesis
also known as . to the site. In the site synthesis diagram, you are to scribble/doddle/sketch/draw the
design solutions conceptually. The idea should not be in detail, probably the initial or rough idea about
what do you think would be the best options to improve the existing condition. This interpretation of
design and decision making are based on group reflection or a combination of individual ideas.
You may provide several options to one single problem/circumstance/condition as the solution would
not limit to only one.
*Note:
Examples of all tasks will be showing during project briefing in class.
INDIVIDUAL TASK
Individually, you are required to produce a graphic journal which comprises of a series of element
provided below. The graphic journal plays as a sketch journal of elements in landscape architecture
field. You are free either to trace or to sketch/doodle/draw on your own (all in not to scale) and to
combine as a journal. The elements required for this assignment are as follows;
3. 3
A) Vegetation
i) Plan view of 10 different types of trees (flowering & non flowering), shrubs, palms and
groundcovers/turf.
ii) Elevation drawing of 5 different types of trees (flowering & non flowering), shrubs, palms and
groundcovers/turf.
B) Natural Elements
i) Plan view of rocks and waterways (river/stream/lakes).
ii) Elevation view of above chosen elements.
C) Hardscape
i) Plan view of 5 different patterns of paving (e.g; bricks, concrete, random flagstone, pebbles
etc.)
ii) 3 plan or/and elevation views of building with roof shading, pergola, gazebo, pool/fountain.
*Note:
The exercise on graphic communication skills will be taught in class.
