Wie durch ein Okular lässt sich darin die Entstehung eines einmaligen und bis heute weitestgehend unerschlossenen zeichnerischen Korpus von gewaltigem Umfang beobachten, in dem sich technische und ästhetische Raumerfahrung die Waage halten. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich dabei auf bemerkenswerte Persönlichkeiten, spektakuläre Karriereverläufe und herausragende Meisterleistungen der Ingenieurkunst, die aus den jeweiligen historischen Zusammenhängen heraus erleb- und nachvollziehbar werden.

This volume provides a framework for evaluating geospatial software for participatory mapping. The evaluation is based on ten key indicators: ethics, cost, technical level, inclusiveness, data accuracy, data privacy, analytical capacity, visualization capacity, openness, and accessibility (i.e., mobile friendly or offline capabilities). Each application is evaluated by a user and cross analyzed with specific case studies of the software¿s real-world application. This framework does not discriminate against assessing volunteered geographic information (VGI) applications, as a form of participatory mapping, in circumstances that its application is spearheaded by underrepresented groups with the intent to empower and spark political or behavioral change within formal and informal institutions. Each chapter follows a strict template to ensure that the information within the volume can be updated periodically to match the ever-changing technological environment. The book covers ten different mapping applications with the goal of creating a comparative evaluation framework that can be easily interpreted by convening institutions and novice users. This will also help identify gaps in software for participatory mapping which will help to inform application development in the future and updates to current geospatial software.

Through examining more than 120 organizations on a global scale, this work shows how almost every human expression involves performing culture.Atlas of Performing Culture is an illustrated voyage across five continents—Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas—involving the study of venues and events related to performance, the dynamic and unrepeatable mode of artistic activity capable of uniting the audience—who becomes the protagonist—with artists and works of art, architecture, and nature.The volume is organized around five thematic sections related to the physical spaces, venues, and typologies of events. The unique experience of performing art can involve an island museum in Japan, the Rio Carnival, a Brussels theatrical debut, a rave party in the British countryside, and a cultural center housed in a former funeral home in the outskirts of Paris. Alongside theaters, concert halls, and festivals, we also find museums, sculpture parks, and hybrid cultural centers that elude any attempt of cataloging.By breaking down the traditional frontiers between performance art, visual art, and performing arts, this volume takes the reader—whether specialist, practitioner, academic, or simply art aficionado—on a journey to some of the main cultural sites and performative experiences around the world. Each section offers a specific overview into leading cultural organizations, as well as a selection of similar international institutions.
