Lawrence Halprin was an influential American landscape architect born in 1916. He earned degrees from Cornell University and Harvard and was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Some of Halprin's most notable projects include Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, and Manhattan Square Park in Rochester. Halprin designed parks and plazas to encourage human interaction and movement. He believed outdoor spaces should serve community needs. Ira Keller Fountain in Portland, featuring an interactive urban waterfall, exemplifies Halprin's vision of designing with the user experience in mind. Halprin had a career spanning 60 years and received many honors for his work pushing the boundaries of landscape architecture.

Auroville, City of dawn is located in state of Tamil Nadu, India, near Pondicherry in South India. .Auroville was founded as a project on experimental basis of the ‘Sri Arbindo Society’ on Wednesday 28 February 1968. The basic idea originated from Mirra Alfassa ‘The Mother ‘who was spiritually related to India.
Ma envisaged Auroville as an international township for 50,000 residents on the shape of a flower. Architect Roger Anger refined the planning and designed it in shape of Universe.He placed Matrimandir at the center of this city.
Mary Alfassa in her first message regarding the town stated that, "Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of al countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities”

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
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. biography.
• Born, July 1, 1916, in New York City and raised in Brooklyn.
• He invested three of his teenage years in Israel on a kibbutz (communal settlement or
farm) near what is today the Israeli port city of Haifa
• He earned a B.A. at Cornell University; and he was granted a M.A. at the University of
Wisconsin.
• He then earned a second bachelor’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design,
where his professors included architects Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.
• A visit to Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio in Wisconsin, had sparked Halprin’s initial
interest in being a designer.
• In 1944, Halprin was commissioned in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant (junior
grade).
• He was assigned to the destroyer USS Morris in the Pacific which was struck by a
kamikaze attack.
• After surviving the destruction of the Morris, Halprin was sent to San Francisco on leave.
• Beginning his career in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, in 1949, Halprin often
collaborated with a local circle of modernist architects on relatively modest projects.

3. biography.
• Halprin first came to national attention with his work at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, the
Ghirardelli Square adaptive-reuse project in San Francisco, and the landmark pedestrian
street / transit mall Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis.
• Halprin's career proved influential to an entire generation in his specific design solutions,
his emphasis on user experience to develop those solutions, and his collaborative design
process.
Halprin's point of view and practice are summarized in his definition of modernism:
“To be properly understood, Modernism is not just a matter of cubist space but of a
whole appreciation of environmental design as a holistic approach to the matter of
making spaces for people to live.... Modernism, as I define it and practice it, includes
and is based on the vital archetypal needs of human being as individuals as well as
social groups.”
• Lawrence Halprin, the Bay Area landscape architect, who pushed the design of America's
urban spaces in new directions over a career that spanned 60 years, died in 25th October,
2009 of natural causes. He was 93.

serpentine transitway, nicollet mall
4. career.
• After discharge from military service, he joined the firm of San Francisco landscape
architect Thomas Dolliver Church.
• Halprin opened his own office in 1949, becoming one of Church's professional heirs and
competitors.
• Halprin's wife, accomplished avant-garde dancer Anna Halprin, is a long-time collaborator,
with whom he explored the common areas between choreography and the way users move
through a public space.
• Halprin's work is marked by his attention to human scale, user experience, and the social
impact of his designs, in the egalitarian tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted.
• Halprin was the creative force behind the interactive, 'playable' civic fountains most
common in the 1970s, an amenity which continues to greatly contribute to the pedestrian
social experience in Portland Oregon.
• Budgetary constraints and the urge to "revitalize" threaten some of his projects. In
response, foundations have been set up to improve care for some of the sites and to try to
preserve them in their original state.
• He was the co-creator with his wife, the dancer Anna Halprin, of the "RSVP Cycles", a
creative methodology that can be applied broadly across all disciplines.

projects.
• Halprin's projects, demonstrate his vision of the garden or open space as a stage.
• Halprin recognized that "the garden in your own immediate neighborhood, preferably at your own doorstep, is the most
significant garden.”
• The interplay of perspectives informed projects which encompassed urban parks, plazas, commercial and cultural centers and
other places of congregation.

8. manhattan square park.
• This five-acre site in the East End district of downtown Manhattan when the city cleared 60
acres for urban renewal. Designed by Lawrence Halprin in 1971-1972, an open space
surrounded by largely unrealized high-density development.
• One of Halprin’s most multi-purpose facilities, the park opened in 1974, a reprieve from
congested urban living.
• Vehicular and pedestrian traffic were separated via Park Drive (now Manhattan Square)
and a sky-lit underpass below Chestnut Street.
• Halprin’s spatial organization alludes to the historic city street grid, 45 degrees off the
current city layout.
• The park was divided into six zones, including a children’s play area with a wading pool, a
hockey rink that converted to tennis and basketball courts, a large meadow for athletic
events, a bermed garden shaded by a grove of trees, and a wide, tree-shaded promenade.
9. manhattan square park.
• The focal point is a sunken, concrete plaza containing a 2,000-seat amphitheatre with a
restaurant, and a waterfall fountain.
• A steel scaffold-like frame with viewing platforms and an observation tower allows visitors
to experience the plaza from a different perspective.
• The park’s complex, multi-level spaces were realized through concrete steps and retaining
walls arranged in angular patterns.
• Today the amphitheatre plaza with its steel frame, garden and promenade remain largely
intact. The children’s play area was updated in the 1990s and the skating rink was
redesigned to double as a reflecting pool in 2008.
11. ira keller fountain.
• A product of urban renewal, this massive land clearing project
was realized with $12 million in federal funds targeted for the
South Auditorium District.
• This park in Portland’s “city within a city” was not originally part
of the Open-Space Sequence planned by Lawrence Halprin and
Associates.
• Working with Angela Danadjieva, Halprin designed a park that
solved the site’s complex grades with a powerful urban
waterfall. Collectively, the Forecourt along with the Source
Fountain, Lovejoy Fountain Plaza, and Pettygrove Park were
meant to evoke a metaphorical watershed.
12. ira keller fountain.
• Halprin saw these plaza spaces as theatre sets for choreographing human movement –
and unlike being fountains solely for viewing, these were designed for interaction.
• The Portland Open Space Sequence was listed in the National Register of Historic Places
in March 2013.
• The central feature of the park is the concrete water fountain. Keller Fountain is often
noted as a memorable feature of the public landscape in downtown Portland, and in 1999
was awarded a medallion from the American Society of Landscape Architects.
• The park, which is known for its accessibility for allowing visitors to stand at the top of
the waterfall, is designed according to construction code to prevent children or adults
from falling down the waterfall; the top of the falls are actually 36 inches pockets of
water, acting as a safety wall.
13. The relationship between man and nature continues to be
inevitable and ever evolving; we see it impeccably in the
face of landscape in design.
