Roche > Buildings > Church Transept chapels were located in the side arms, and the presbytery, the most sacred part of the church, lay beyond the crossing, elevated and set apart from the rest of the church.

internet culture It is not the idea that crossing the postmodern divide has somehow destroyed personal identity. But many interpreters of postmodern culture, the culture of post-industrial societies particularly as influenced by information technology such as the Internet (and computers, CDs, etc.), detect a change in us that is understated even by emphasizing that our personalities have become different. The latter, however it is to be characterized in detail, is a large social fact; the former, whether it is true or false or meaningful or nonsensical, is precisely a theory; one can be a participant in postmodern culture without espousing postmodernist doctrine. www.brandeis.edu /pubs/jove/HTML/V6/iculture.html   (206 words)

SSRN-The Layers Principle: Internet Architecture and the Law by Lawrence Solum, Minn Chung The second corollary is the principle of minimizing layer crossing, i.e., minimize the distance between the layer at which the law aims to produce an affect and the layer directly affected by legal regulation. This essay addresses the fundamental questions of Internet governance: whether and how the architecture of the Internet should affect the shape and content of legal regulation of the global network of networks. The first idea is transparency: the fact that layer-violating regulations damage transparency combined with the fact that Internet transparency lowers the cost of innovation provides compelling support for the principle of layer separation: public Internet regulators should not violate or compromise the separation between layers designed into the basic architecture of the Internet. papers.ssrn.com /sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=416263   (401 words)

New Jersey Churchscape - book reviews The thesis of this book is that a new relationship between preacher and congregation demanded a new architecture—an auditorium rather than a temple—and the rise of evangelical denominations in the mid-nineteenth century meant that the traditional basilica-style would give way to the new. The book is well illustrated and documented, but unless you have a strong interest and background in the period, this is not an easy read because of the wealth of detail. Although the book was written as a textbook for a course in non-western traditions in architectural history, it may be of considerable interest to anyone traveling to parts of Asia, Africa and Oceania. www.njchurchscape.com /reviews.html   (457 words)

Mathematics in Architecture I had the opportunity to explore the architecture of this vibrant city and found it to be replete with extraordinary examples of geometry, proportion, and symmetry. This thorough "exploration of the mathematics of beauty," with topics including myth, music, architecture, art, and mathematics, shows that, whether the bridge is natural or man-made, the connections between art and science are plentiful and inspiring. By far the best indication of the validity of the interdisciplinary study of math in architecture, however, was the arrival of the conference Nexus '96: The Relationship Between Architecture and Mathematics, held in Florence, Italy in the Summer of 1996. www.dean.sbc.edu /wassell.html   (923 words)
