src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/script.php?u=liamdebris"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El ludismo (luddism en &lt;a title="Idioma inglés" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioma_inglÃ©s"&gt;inglés&lt;/a&gt;) fue un &lt;a title="Movimiento obrero" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movimiento_obrero"&gt;movimiento obrero&lt;/a&gt; que adquirió auge en &lt;a title="Inglaterra" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglaterra"&gt;Inglaterra&lt;/a&gt; a partir de &lt;a title="1811" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1811"&gt;1811&lt;/a&gt;, y cuyas acciones se basaban en la revuelta espontánea y desorganizada, atacando con frecuencia a los instrumentos de producción. Sus seguidores se llamaban ludistas o luditas (luddites en inglés), nombre que tomaron del semilegendario líder del movimiento, &lt;a title="Ned Ludd" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Ludd"&gt;Ned Ludd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Historia" name="Historia"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historia&lt;br /&gt;El movimiento ludista tuvo una vida relativamente corta. Pronto muchos de los dirigentes obreros comprendieron que no eran las máquinas sino los empresarios sus enemigos. Gran Bretaña conoció cuatro grandes oleadas ludistas entre 1811 y 1816 y posteriormente el movimiento se extendió por toda Europa (en España son conocidos los hechos de &lt;a title="Alcoy" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoy"&gt;Alcoy&lt;/a&gt;, en 1820).&lt;br /&gt;El movimiento se oponía a toda clase de &lt;a title="Tecnología" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/TecnologÃ&amp;shy;a"&gt;tecnología&lt;/a&gt;, que según su vertiente &lt;a title="Ideología" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/IdeologÃ&amp;shy;a"&gt;ideológica&lt;/a&gt;, hace que el hombre pierda su capacidad laboral y por ende creativa, para servirse de manera esclavista de las formas de tecnología, que hacen más productivo el trabajo en términos de rapidez y no del capital humano. El &lt;a title="Maquinismo" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquinismo"&gt;maquinismo&lt;/a&gt; supuso muy pronto el deterioro de las condiciones de trabajo de los obreros y, al principio, dejó a muchos sin trabajo. Por ello, en las primeras décadas del siglo se produjeron muchos levantamientos de obreros y campesinos que protestaban contra la introducción de las máquinas y la generalización del sistema fabril.&lt;br /&gt;El ludismo surgió como una primera respuesta violenta a las crecientes tasas de paro que supusieron la implantación de máquinas capaces de hacer el trabajo de varios hombres, con la consiguiente pérdida del empleo por parte de los mismos, implicando que los obreros empezaran a ver a las máquinas como causantes de sus problemas. Ya empezaba a manifestarse un sentimiento de unidad entre las clases proletarias, mejor conocido como &lt;a title="Conciencia de clase" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conciencia_de_clase"&gt;conciencia de clase&lt;/a&gt;, que les lleva a una mejor organización como grupo, llevando a cabo protestas pacíficas para la mejora de sus condiciones de vida y trabajo.&lt;br /&gt;La disolución violenta, por parte del ejército, de una manifestación de trabajadores en &lt;a title="Nottingham" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham"&gt;Nottingham&lt;/a&gt; que pedían trabajo y un salario más justo, tuvo como respuesta el incendio nocturno de sesenta máquinas de tejer medias. Estas acciones destructivas, que se extendieron por las zonas de intensa industrialización de &lt;a title="Lancashire" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire"&gt;Lancashire&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a title="Yorkshire" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire"&gt;Yorkshire&lt;/a&gt; en &lt;a title="1812" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812"&gt;1812&lt;/a&gt;, tomaron el nombre de un imaginario Capitán Ludd (probablemente en recuerdo de &lt;a title="Ned Ludd" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Ludd"&gt;Ned Ludd&lt;/a&gt;), que firmaba las cartas intimidatorias dirigidas a los propietarios de las máquinas. En ellas se exigía la pronta retirada de las máquinas para una fecha en concreto, o en caso contrario, enviaría hombres a destruirlas, quienes en caso de encontrar resistencia, tendrían incluso su autorización para asesinar a los dueños y destruir las propiedades.&lt;br /&gt;La respuesta gubernamental a dicho movimiento, permitió comprobar que el gobierno se ponía de parte de los empresarios mediante la represión, que llegó a suponer la ejecución de dieciocho ludistas en &lt;a title="1813" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1813"&gt;1813&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;A partir de &lt;a title="1817" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/1817"&gt;1817&lt;/a&gt; el movimiento empezó a decaer, pero se continuó en el campo inglés en los &lt;a title="Años 1830" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/AÃ±os_1830"&gt;años 1830&lt;/a&gt; y se extendió a otras regiones del continente europeo, donde la &lt;a title="Revolución Industrial" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/RevoluciÃ³n_Industrial"&gt;Revolución Industrial&lt;/a&gt; estaba adquiriendo relevancia. En &lt;a title="Cataluña" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/CataluÃ±a"&gt;Cataluña&lt;/a&gt; se llegó a quemar la máquina más avanzada del momento. A pesar de todo, sin una base ideológica definida, su alcance era claramente limitado debido a que se dirigía a las máquinas en lugar de atacar las verdaderas causas de su situación, por lo cual empezó a desaparecer a medida que la protesta se fue desplazando de ir contra las máquinas para dirigirse contra sus propietarios, forjándose de esta manera los primeros &lt;a title="Sindicato" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindicato"&gt;sindicatos&lt;/a&gt; obreros.&lt;br /&gt;A finales del &lt;a title="Siglo XX" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siglo_XX"&gt;siglo XX&lt;/a&gt;, en plena &lt;a class="new" title="Revolución digital (aún no redactado)" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Revoluci%C3%B3n_digital&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;revolución digital&lt;/a&gt;, surgió un movimiento conocido como &lt;a title="Neoludismo" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoludismo"&gt;neoludismo&lt;/a&gt;, que se opone a la &lt;a title="Inteligencia artificial" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inteligencia_artificial"&gt;inteligencia artificial&lt;/a&gt; y todo avance científico que se apoye en la &lt;a title="Informática" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/InformÃ¡tica"&gt;informática&lt;/a&gt;. Reconoce que no solo los empresarios son los explotadores sino que es la forma en que funciona la tecnología la que aliena tanto al explotador y al explotado convirtiéndose, a criterio de ellos, ambos en partes funcionales de la maquinaria tecnológica.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbJ_M5dFI/AAAAAAAAAUo/qduC13Y-Flc/s1600-h/drh.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193032072477373522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbJ_M5dFI/AAAAAAAAAUo/qduC13Y-Flc/s320/drh.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbKfM5dHI/AAAAAAAAAU4/HDufhKlT5qE/s1600-h/;jn.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193032081067308146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbKfM5dHI/AAAAAAAAAU4/HDufhKlT5qE/s320/%3Bjn.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbKfM5dGI/AAAAAAAAAUw/_KfOIUiuNhk/s1600-h/[ou[ou.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193032081067308130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbKfM5dGI/AAAAAAAAAUw/_KfOIUiuNhk/s320/%5Bou%5Bou.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8922997555893824975-3722986471737784325?l=airdebris.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://airdebris.blogspot.com/feeds/3722986471737784325/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8922997555893824975&amp;postID=3722986471737784325' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8922997555893824975/posts/default/3722986471737784325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8922997555893824975/posts/default/3722986471737784325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://airdebris.blogspot.com/2008/04/ludismo.html' title='Ludismo'/><author><name>Air.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02864783847463932657</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_zXRxDTKTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/3BYFxiu7epQ/S220/n567265533_2209648_3834%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SBFbJ_M5dFI/AAAAAAAAAUo/qduC13Y-Flc/s72-c/drh.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922997555893824975.post-2821828891025421485</id><published>2008-04-22T16:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T06:13:58.219-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lomography-the diana-holga-fisheye-cameras</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=liamdebris" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Hit Counter" hspace="4" src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=liamdebris&amp;amp;s=messy" align="middle" vspace="2" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/script.php?u=liamdebris"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diana+ Edelweiss &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52evM5dCI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/d0i6Y89y0gc/s1600-h/dianabook.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192217690843477026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52evM5dCI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/d0i6Y89y0gc/s320/dianabook.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's how the story goes: back in the '60s, a small firm in Hong Kong created an inexpensive camera called the Diana. Crafted entirely of plastic, each camera cost only a dollar at the time of its release! Although it was only produced for about 10 years, Diana became a favorite with avant-garde and lo-fi photographers. They loved its soft &amp;amp; dreamy images, super-saturated colors, unpredictable blurring, and random contrast. Diana shots were raw &amp;amp; gritty, with a character all their own. They couldn't be duplicated by any other camera on Earth! But after the camera was discontinued in the '70s, functional examples became difficult to find and increasingly expensive to purchase. Dianas were in high demand! And given the cameras exceptional images and retro good looks, the fine folks at Lomo decided that it was time for a comeback! Not satisfied with a simple reissue, Lomo decided to add something to the original. That meant adding all-new functionality to the camera and dramatically expanding its creative potential. They called it Diana+ Edelweiss. Its body was re-cast in pure white plastic using a duplication of the original mold. The lens was balanced to obtain those "perfectly imperfect" dreamy, gorgeous, color-drenched, sometimes-blurry, and often mind-blowing images. And this Diana knows a few new tricks, too! Features include 2 shutter speeds: one for day and one for night; the ability to shoot multiple or partial (overlapping) exposures; two image sizes for 12 square shots or 16 square shots on a roll of film; new Pinhole function: remove the lens, set the aperture to a super-small pinhole and shoot a super-wide-angle, severely old-school image through a tiny hole; new endless panorama function: shoot a long, concurrent, and unlimited panoramic image, with almost no space between each individual frame. Imported. Wipe clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52e_M5dDI/AAAAAAAAAUY/AP3Q1uO1f6M/s1600-h/diana.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192217695138444338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52e_M5dDI/AAAAAAAAAUY/AP3Q1uO1f6M/s320/diana.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52efM5dBI/AAAAAAAAAUI/6MrzR4-uxbk/s1600-h/holgabook.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192217686548509714" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SA52efM5dBI/AAAAAAAAAUI/6MrzR4-uxbk/s320/holgabook.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wallow to excess in all that pertains to the wonderful Holga camera.

En el transcurso del tiempo se han realizado grandes avances y muchos de estos objetos diseñados y creados por el hombre han contribuido con el cambio de las estructuras sociales y económicas existentes.&lt;br /&gt;Nuestra época no ha sido una excepción en este proceso, tampoco lo serán las futuras generaciones. Dentro de nuestro país el Diseño Industrial es una actividad que no se realiza como profesión académica, pero tiene dentro del ámbito de la producción individuos que se ocupan de la parte técnica de los productos, otros de su parte estética, otros de su envase y así tenemos todo un conjunto de personas (muchas de ellas profesionales de la ingeniería) que se dedican, en un esfuerzo común, a la creación de productos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8KI/AAAAAAAAARw/zaLQuWEAtF0/s1600-h/n1134134826_6998_thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190800154245656738" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8KI/AAAAAAAAARw/zaLQuWEAtF0/s320/n1134134826_6998_thumb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Esta situación ha motivado la necesidad de un profesional que oriente el proceso de diseño de productos hacia la creación de los objetos tomando en cuenta conocimientos técnicos y artísticos, dando estilo y ajustando el producto a las actitudes y necesidades del consumidor. Este profesional debe también ser una persona práctica con buenos conocimientos de costos y métodos de producción, pasando por el envasado o empaque, diseño interior y exterior, terminando en su comercialización.&lt;br /&gt;Cuando se habla de que el Diseñador Industrial puede hacer trabajos y diseños de productos a muchas organizaciones no nos referimos solamente a aquellas meramente industriales como fábricas de equipos, maquinarias, mobiliario, electrodomésticos, productos plásticos, envases de vidrio, equipos de oficina, etc., sino también a otros renglones menos comerciales donde el Diseño Industrial tiene una importancia social y funcional de primer orden como son:&lt;br /&gt;Educativo: diseño de mobiliario para las escuelas,material didáctico, juguetes educativos, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Salud: equipo de laboratorio, equipo quirúrgico, equipos móviles de servicios médicos básicos, aparatos médicos y demás.&lt;br /&gt;Urbano: mejoramiento de sistemas de servicios como alcantarillado, eléctrico o de basura, diseño de mobiliario para las calles, diseño de viviendas prefabricadas a un menor costo, sistemas más efectivos de señalización, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvdv3a8PI/AAAAAAAAASY/-3Ipedcz1k0/s1600-h/bastard.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190802602377015538" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvdv3a8PI/AAAAAAAAASY/-3Ipedcz1k0/s320/bastard.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artesanal: rediseño de objetos artesanales tradicionales, introducción de nuevos productos de interés local o turístico en esta área.&lt;br /&gt;Exportación: diseño de productos para la exportación que tengan en cuenta controles de calidad, exigencias y preferencias del mercado internacional que podrían aumentar el ingreso de divisas al país. Este pequeño listado de posibilidades nos demuestra el impacto que potencialmente el Diseño Industrial puede tener en nuestro país.&lt;br /&gt;Relación Universidad-Sociedad:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltMf3a8II/AAAAAAAAARg/VHaW4Q4sE6I/s1600-h/pms-license-plate_thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190800107001016450" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltMf3a8II/AAAAAAAAARg/VHaW4Q4sE6I/s320/pms-license-plate_thumb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por Diseñador Industrial se entiende un profesional de alto nivel académico, técnico y cultural, consciente de la magnitud y complejidad del problema "necesidad-producción-consumo-uso", y capaz de integrarse, comunicarse y coordinar un equipo polivalente de profesionales que debe de intervenir en el proceso "diseño-mercado-evaluación", como respuesta al problema del diseño de productos. A través de dicho proceso, el diseñador debe contemplar e involucrar en la solución de su diseño todos los aspectos funcionales, técnicos, económicos, culturales y estéticos que definen a los objetos producidos industrialmente.&lt;br /&gt;Podemos agrupar los aspectos mencionados, viéndolos desde el punto de vista de la relación universidad-sociedad como sigue:&lt;br /&gt;Contribuir al desarrollo del país mediante la formación de profesionles capaces de afrontar los problemas de la producción industrial dentro de un marco teórico-práctico del diseño.&lt;br /&gt;Responder al clima de aceptación de la bondad e importancia del diseño.&lt;br /&gt;Desde el punto de vista de la formación profesional.&lt;br /&gt;Partiendo de la realidad de que un país en vías de desarrollo como la República Dominicana no puede darse el lujo de formar profesionales super-especializados, se propone un diseñador industrial integral, o sea, un profesional capaz de asesorarse para resolver los problemas diversos que le competen dentro del campo de la producción en serie en cualquiera de sus ramas. Esta preparación, desde ese punto de vista nos proporcionará:&lt;br /&gt;Un diseñador capaz de integrarse a la industria nacional, con ideas renovadoras y planteamientos que permitan el logro de soluciones de diseño acordes con las necesidades y posibilidades técnicas, sociales, económicas y culturales de nuestro país.&lt;br /&gt;Estimular las capacidades creativas de los alumnos y orientarlos hacia el uso racional de las posibilidades técnicas y de equipos o de maquinarias, y de las disponibilidades de materias primas y mano de obra existentes en el país que permitan el desarrollo de una tecnología propia, sin perder de vista el contexto universal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltO_3a8JI/AAAAAAAAARo/ZbPF5N5q3n4/s1600-h/calentamiento+global.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190800149950689426" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltO_3a8JI/AAAAAAAAARo/ZbPF5N5q3n4/s320/calentamiento+global.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considerar el proceso de formación de los profesionales del diseño como un enriquecimiento mutuo entre alumnos-profesores-facultad-industria-sociedad, que conlleve la aplicación dinámica del objetivo general de la universidad.&lt;br /&gt;Crear conciencia sobre el papel y la responsabilidad del diseñador frente a la comunidad en que desarrolla su función, sin obviar los aspectos éticos y culturales.&lt;br /&gt;Objetivo General&lt;br /&gt;El objetivo de la Carrera de Diseño Industrial es formar un profesional capaz de diseñar, mejorar, utilizar, solucionar y poner en marcha proyectos de diseño de productos en las empresas, industrias y factorías, comprendiendo sus procesos técnicos desde la planeación hasta la comercialización, usando las herramientas de las ciencias de la ingeniería y el diseño. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8MI/AAAAAAAAASA/w_noJUviGvg/s1600-h/lkn.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190800154245656770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8MI/AAAAAAAAASA/w_noJUviGvg/s320/lkn.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;El diseño industrial en Republica Dominicana:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En República Dominicana esta actividad se vio por primera vez cuando el INTEC creo el CID ( Centro de Investigación del Diseño ) en el ano 1985, que fue fruto de una investigación hecha por la misma institución llamado “Estudio Industrial sobre la República Dominicana”. Unos anos más tarde, debido a la expansión física y académica del INTEC, este propuso el diseño industrial como uno de los nuevos programas de estudio.&lt;br /&gt;Como asesor para este tema utilizaron al Arq. Rómulo Polo, quien era el director de la escuela de diseño industrial en una universidad Colombiana. Este elaboro varios informes y un documento llamado “Diseño: una opción de desarrollo” en el cual se evaluaba la industria dominicana y donde se exponían las razones por la cual debía de implementarse este programa de estudio.&lt;br /&gt;También explicaba que había que formar docentes para impartir las clases y debido a esto INTEC concedió 3 becas estudiantiles para la formación de docentes en el área del diseño. Mientras tanto, el Arq. Jesús Villeta, quien seria asesorado por un diseñador industrial llamado Gerd Schussler. Este trabajo junto con el Arq. Villeta por dos anos en el Centro de Diseño Industrial.&lt;br /&gt;Los becarios regresaron en el ano 1987 para conformar un equipo de trabajo con Villeta y un asesor recién llegado, también diseñador industrial, llamado Gunther Daunen. De los tres becarios solo uno se integro en el INTEC como docente, esta siendo la Arq. Margarita Rodríguez.&lt;br /&gt;Las primeras asignaturas se impartieron en el 1989, en donde los docentes eran los mismos integrantes antes mencionados, de cuales solo el asesor Daunen había ejercido la profesión y había sido docente. Con este asesor se formaron los primeros docentes por los primeros siete anos de la escuela de diseño.&lt;br /&gt;Los primeros egresados concluyeron sus estudios en el 1991. Para este tiempo también se conservaba el CID que servía para promocionar la carrera y para consolidarla en el medio industrial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas tarde en la década, la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) creo una escuela de diseño industrial y de moda, la cual tiene una licenciatura en diseño industrial de productos, asimismo como varia carreras técnicas relacionadas con el diseño industrial.&lt;br /&gt;Los dos programas son bastantes parecidos, solo que el pensum del INTEC tiene 228 créditos, mientras que el de la UASD tiene 175 créditos. No obstante a eso, el pensum de la UASD tiene materias que no están incluidas en el de INTEC, como son los talleres de cerámica, que consta de dos secciones, asimismo como Introducción a la psicología industrial, que no esta incluida. También, el pensum de la Universidad autónoma esta muy enfocado en productos artesanales y esoto se puede ver en las materias como la del Taller artesanal y los talleres de cerámica antes mencionados.&lt;br /&gt;También se diferencian en que el programa del INTEC se divide en trece trimestres, mientras que el de la UASD esta constituido por ocho semestres.&lt;br /&gt;Según el ultimo estudio que hizo el CID en el 2005, en la actualidad hay 95 egresados de la carrera de diseño. De estos el 92% trabajan en la actualidad pero solo el 48% trabaja en areas relacionadas con el diseño. Les sigue un 28% que trabaja en el área de mercadeo y venta. De los que trabajan en diseño, solo el 68% trabaja en diseño industrial. De este porciento, un 68% trabaja como empleado de una empresa y el resto en un estudio propio.&lt;br /&gt;El 34% que resta trabaja en otras áreas relacionadas con el diseño como el diseño de interiores, gráficos, publicidad y animación.&lt;br /&gt;De la muestra total de los egresados, el 66% hizo estudios de posgraduado. De estos, alrededor de un 60% lo hizo a nivel de maestría. El 64% hizo sus estudios de posgraduado en el área de negocios, mientras que solo un 16% hizo su maestría en diseño industrial, un 12% en estudios de diseño en general y el restante tomo la ingeniería como especialización.&lt;br /&gt;Como se puede ver, la mayoría de los egresados opto por tomar sus estudios de posgraduado en el área de negocios, esto debido a que la mayoría de las universidades locales ofrecen muchos programas de maestrías en el área de negocios mientras que los egresados que pudieron realizar estudios de maestrías en diseño industrial lo hicieron fuera del país ya que ninguna de las universidades locales ofrecen esta especialización a nivel de maestría.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8LI/AAAAAAAAAR4/elIn77iZ85E/s1600-h/kuyfuk.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190800154245656754" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAltPP3a8LI/AAAAAAAAAR4/elIn77iZ85E/s320/kuyfuk.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Universidades que imparten el Diseño Industrial en Republica Dominicana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intec: Instituto Tecnologico de Santo Domingo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvdP3a8NI/AAAAAAAAASI/Q112aDlDuok/s1600-h/intec.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190802593787080914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvdP3a8NI/AAAAAAAAASI/Q112aDlDuok/s320/intec.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UASD:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE SANTO DOMINGO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvd_3a8RI/AAAAAAAAASo/H5h-xsgTV2U/s1600-h/KLKL.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190802606671982866" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlvd_3a8RI/AAAAAAAAASo/H5h-xsgTV2U/s320/KLKL.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Ejemplos de Oferta de Trabajo en Republica Dominicana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://intec.aldaba.org/csv/csv_empleos.php?pais=República%20Dominicana&amp;amp;ciudad=&amp;amp;area=Diseño%20Industrial" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://intec.aldaba.org/csv/csv_empleos.php?pais=República%20Dominicana&amp;amp;ciudad=&amp;amp;area=Diseño%20Industrial" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Empleos Diseño Industrial 1 - 5 de 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://intec.aldaba.org/detalle_of.php?oferta=83818&amp;amp;q=&amp;amp;or=&amp;amp;s=&amp;amp;e_min=22&amp;amp;e_max=40&amp;amp;f=1"&gt;TECNICO DE DISEÑO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confidencial&lt;br /&gt;305-04&lt;br /&gt;Santo Domingo&lt;br /&gt;Diseño Industrial&lt;br /&gt;22 a 40&lt;br /&gt;Realizar diseños industriales gráficos a productos.

Loewy's creative genius was innate, and his effect on the industry was immediate. He literally revolutionized the industry, working as a consultant for more than 200 companies and creating product designs for everything from cigarette packs and refrigerators, to cars and spacecrafts. Loewy lived by his own famous MAYA principle - Most Advanced Yet Acceptable. He believed that, "The adult public's taste is not necessarily ready to accept the logical solutions to their requirements if the solution implies too vast a departure from what they have been conditioned into accepting as the norm." A popular lecturer as well, Loewy spoke at institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and the University of Leningrad. He founded three design companies: Raymond Loewy and Associates, New York; Raymond Loewy International, London; and Compagnie de I'Esthetique Industrielle, Paris. His writings include The Locomotive: Its Aesthetics (1937), the autobiography Never Leave Well Enough Alone (1951) and Industrial Design (1951). A global presenceRaymond Loewy launched his career in industrial design in 1929 when Sigmund Gestetner, a British manufacturer of duplicating machines, commissioned him to improve the appearance of a mimeograph machine. In three days 28-year-old Loewy designed the shell that was to encase Gestetner duplicators for the next 40 years. In the process, he helped launch a profession that has changed the look of America.The Gestetner duplicator was the first of countless items transformed by streamlining, a technique that Loewy is credited with originating. Calling the concept "beauty through function and simplification," Loewy spent over 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps to spacecrafts. His more famous creations include the Lucky Strike cigarette package, the GG1 and S1 locomotives, the slenderized Coca-Cola bottle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHRP3a73I/AAAAAAAAAPY/wSc1fJLoSnA/s1600-h/asfasf.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190054719721762674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHRP3a73I/AAAAAAAAAPY/wSc1fJLoSnA/s320/asfasf.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;the John F. Kennedy memorial postage stamp, the interior of Saturn I, Saturn V, and Skylab, the Greyhound bus and logo, the Shell International logo, the Exxon logo, the U.S. Postal Service emblem, a line of Frigidaire refrigerators, ranges, and freezers, and the Studebaker Avanti, Champion and Starliner. By 1951, his industrial design firm was so prolific that he was able to claim, "the average person, leading a normal life, whether in the country, a village, a city, or a metropolis, is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things, services, or structures in which R.L.A [Raymond Loewy Associates] was a party during the design or planning stage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHQ_3a71I/AAAAAAAAAPI/RG1YTNnoLwI/s1600-h/jk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190054715426795346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHQ_3a71I/AAAAAAAAAPI/RG1YTNnoLwI/s320/jk.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHRP3a72I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/-i8e5CzqqGE/s1600-h/uilutilui.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190054719721762658" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbHRP3a72I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/-i8e5CzqqGE/s320/uilutilui.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbNZP3a77I/AAAAAAAAAP4/vystN8iYtQI/s1600-h/uilui.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190061454230482866" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbNZP3a77I/AAAAAAAAAP4/vystN8iYtQI/s320/uilui.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Raymond Loewy (&lt;a title="November 5" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_5"&gt;November 5&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="1893" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1893"&gt;1893&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a title="July 14" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_14"&gt;July 14&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="1986" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986"&gt;1986&lt;/a&gt;) was one of the best known &lt;a title="Industrial design" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_design"&gt;industrial designers&lt;/a&gt; of the 20th century.

An early accomplishment was the design of a successful &lt;a title="Model aircraft" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft"&gt;model aircraft&lt;/a&gt;, which won the &lt;a class="new" title="James Gordon Bennett Cup (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Gordon_Bennett_Cup&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;James Gordon Bennett Cup&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a title="1908" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908"&gt;1908&lt;/a&gt;. By the following year, he was selling the plane, named the Ayrel. He served in the French Army during &lt;a title="World War I" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I"&gt;World War I&lt;/a&gt;, attaining the rank of captain. Loewy was wounded in combat and received the Croix de Guerre.

In &lt;a title="1929" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929"&gt;1929&lt;/a&gt; he received his first industrial design commission, modernizing the appearance of a &lt;a title="Duplicating machines" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicating_machines"&gt;duplicating machine&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a title="Gestetner" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestetner"&gt;Gestetner&lt;/a&gt;. Further commissions followed, including work for &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Electric_Corporation_(1886)"&gt;Westinghouse&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a class="new" title="Hupp Motor Company (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hupp_Motor_Company&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;Hupp Motor Company&lt;/a&gt; (the &lt;a title="Hupmobile" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hupmobile"&gt;Hupmobile&lt;/a&gt; styling), and styling the &lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.searsarchives.com/brands/coldspot.htm" href="http://www.searsarchives.com/brands/coldspot.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;Coldspot&lt;/a&gt; refrigerator for &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Sears-Roebuck" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears-Roebuck"&gt;Sears-Roebuck&lt;/a&gt;. His design firm opened a London office in the mid &lt;a title="1930s" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930s"&gt;1930s&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Pennsylvania_Railroad" name="Pennsylvania_Railroad"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Pennsylvania Railroad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;a title="1937" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1937"&gt;1937&lt;/a&gt; Loewy established a relationship with the &lt;a title="Pennsylvania Railroad" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad"&gt;Pennsylvania Railroad&lt;/a&gt;, and his most notable designs for the firm were their passenger &lt;a title="Locomotive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotive"&gt;locomotives&lt;/a&gt;. He designed a streamlined shroud for &lt;a title="PRR K4s" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_K4s"&gt;K4s&lt;/a&gt; Pacific #3768 to haul the newly redesigned &lt;a title="1938" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938"&gt;1938&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Broadway Limited" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_Limited"&gt;Broadway Limited&lt;/a&gt; (also by Loewy). He followed by styling the experimental &lt;a title="PRR S1" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_S1"&gt;S1&lt;/a&gt; locomotive, as well as the &lt;a title="PRR T1" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_T1"&gt;T1&lt;/a&gt; class. Later, at the PRR's request, he restyled &lt;a title="Baldwin Locomotive Works" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works"&gt;Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;a title="Diesel locomotive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_locomotive"&gt;diesels&lt;/a&gt; with a distinctive "sharknose" reminiscent of the T1. While he did not design the famous &lt;a title="PRR GG1" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRR_GG1"&gt;GG1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Electric locomotive" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_locomotive"&gt;electric locomotives&lt;/a&gt;, he improved its appearance by recommending welded construction, rather than riveted, and a pinstriped paint scheme to highlight its smooth contours.&lt;br /&gt;In addition to locomotive design, Loewy's studios performed many kinds of design work for the PRR, including stations, passenger car interiors, and advertising materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Studebaker" name="Studebaker"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbNY_3a76I/AAAAAAAAAPw/8b3uXDEslgE/s1600-h/yulyl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190061449935515554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAbNY_3a76I/AAAAAAAAAPw/8b3uXDEslgE/s320/yulyl.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Studebaker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Raymond Loewy's 1930s era Studebaker logo&lt;br /&gt;Loewy began his long and productive relationship with &lt;a title="Studebaker" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker"&gt;Studebaker&lt;/a&gt; in 1939 Loewy and Associates was contracted to provide design services for the automaker during the waning years of the Great Depression. His designs first began appearing on late 1930s model Studebakers. Studebaker also adopted his clean, uncluttered logo design, replacing one in use since the turn of the century.&lt;br /&gt;During World War II, government restrictions on in-house design departments at Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler prevented official work on civilian automobiles. Because Loewy's firm was independent of the nation’s fourth-largest automobile producer, no such restrictions applied. This permitted Studebaker to launch the first all-new postwar automobile in 1947, two years ahead of the "Big Three". His team developed an advanced design, featuring flush front fenders and clean rearward lines. They also created the &lt;a title="Studebaker Starlight" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Starlight"&gt;Starlight&lt;/a&gt; body, featuring a rear window system wrapping 180 degrees around the rear seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="image" title="1953 Studebaker Commander Starlight coupe" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1953_Studebaker_Commander.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="internal" title="Enlarge" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1953_Studebaker_Commander.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1953 Studebaker Commander Starlight coupe&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the iconic bullet-nosed Studebakers of 1950 and 1951, the team created the 1953 Studebaker line, highlighted by the Starliner and Starlight coupes (publicly credited to Loewy, they were actually the work of his deputy, &lt;a title="Virgil Exner" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_Exner"&gt;Virgil Exner&lt;/a&gt;), which have consistently ranked as one of the best-designed automobiles of the 1950s in lists compiled since by &lt;a class="new" title="Collectible Automobile (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Collectible_Automobile&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;Collectible Automobile&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a title="Car and Driver" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_and_Driver"&gt;Car and Driver&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a title="Motor Trend" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_Trend"&gt;Motor Trend&lt;/a&gt;. At the time, however, the Starlight was ridiculed as bizarre (very similar from front or back), while the '53 Starliner, today recognized as "one of the most beautiful cars ever made",was almost as radical in appearance as the 1934 &lt;a title="Chrysler Airflow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Airflow"&gt;Airflow&lt;/a&gt;, and beset by production problems, besides. To brand the new line, Loewy also modernized Studebaker’s logo again by applying the “Lazy S” element.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlk5v3a8AI/AAAAAAAAAQg/w4RnOMUOHFI/s1600-h/cryler+styling.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190790988785446914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlk5v3a8AI/AAAAAAAAAQg/w4RnOMUOHFI/s320/cryler+styling.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His final commission of the 1950s for Studebaker was the transformation of the Starlight and Starliner coupes into the &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Studebaker Hawk" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Hawk"&gt;Hawk&lt;/a&gt; series for the 1956 model year.&lt;br /&gt;He was called back to Studebaker by the firm's new president President, &lt;a title="Sherwood Egbert" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_Egbert"&gt;Sherwood Egbert&lt;/a&gt;, to design the &lt;a title="Studebaker Avanti" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studebaker_Avanti"&gt;Avanti&lt;/a&gt;. In the spring of 1961, Egbert hired him to help energize Studebaker's soon-to-be released line of 1963 passenger cars to attract younger buyers. He agreed to take the job, despite the short 40-day schedule allowed to produce a finished design and scale model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="image" title="1963 Studebaker Avanti" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Studebaker_Avanti.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="internal" title="Enlarge" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Studebaker_Avanti.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;1963 Studebaker Avanti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;He quickly recruited a team consisting of experienced designers, including former Loewy employees &lt;a class="new" title="John Ebstein (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Ebstein&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;John Ebstein&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="new" title="Bob Andrews (engineer) (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Andrews_%28engineer%29&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;Bob Andrews&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a class="new" title="Tom Kellogg (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tom_Kellogg&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1"&gt;Tom Kellogg&lt;/a&gt;, a young student from &lt;a title="Art Center College of Design" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Center_College_of_Design"&gt;Art Center&lt;/a&gt;. The team sequestered themselves in a house in Palm Springs, leased for the purpose. Each team member had a role: Andrews and Kellogg handled sketching, Ebstein oversaw the project, and Loewy served as the creative director and offered advice.&lt;br /&gt;Once the Avanti hit the market, it became an instant classic and has many devotees today; others consider its front end styling peculiar. It has been produced in limited quantities over the years by a succession of small independent companies, never with real commercial success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Loewy_designs" name="Loewy_designs"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlk5_3a8CI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Un4wuNsXbjs/s1600-h/453.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190790993080414242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAlk5_3a8CI/AAAAAAAAAQw/Un4wuNsXbjs/s320/453.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Loewy designs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Air France" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France"&gt;Air France&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Concorde" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde"&gt;Concorde&lt;/a&gt; (interior), 1975&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Air Force One" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_One"&gt;Air Force One&lt;/a&gt; (blue, white, &amp;amp; chrome livery), also applied in 2006 to &lt;a title="Union Pacific 4141" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_4141"&gt;Union Pacific diesel locomotive #4141&lt;/a&gt; to honor &lt;a title="George H.

Italy's crippled economy and the disastrous state of the roads did not assist in the re-development of the automobile markets. Enrico Piaggio, the son of Piaggio's founder Rinaldo Piaggio, decided to leave the aeronautical field in order to address Italy's urgent need for a modern and affordable mode of transportation for the masses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Concept" name="Concept"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concept&lt;br /&gt;The inspiration for the design of the Vespa dates back to Pre-WWII Cushman scooters made in Nebraska, USA. These olive green scooters were in Italy in large numbers, ordered originally by Washington as field transport for the Paratroops and Marines. The US military had used them to get around Nazi defence tactics of destroying roads and bridges in the Dolomites (a section of the Alps) and the Austrian border areas.&lt;br /&gt;Pre-war Piaggio employee Aeronautical engineer General Corradino D'Ascanio, responsible for the design and construction of the first modern helicopter by Agusta, was given the job of designing a simple, robust and affordable vehicle for Ferdinando Innocenti, whose pre-war time focused metal tubing business Innocenti had suffered the same fate as Piaggio post-war. Innocenti defined a post-war vehicle to D'Ascanio that had to be easy to drive for both men and women, be able to carry a passenger, and not get its driver's clothes dirty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="The_design" name="The_design"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The design&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1f3a7oI/AAAAAAAAANg/5P_hEx1Lf5w/s1600-h/521.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189856330887392898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1f3a7oI/AAAAAAAAANg/5P_hEx1Lf5w/s320/521.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'Ascanio, who hated motorbikes, designed a revolutionary vehicle. It was built on a spar-frame with a handlebar gear change, and the engine mounted directly on to the rear wheel. The front protection "shield" kept the rider dry and clean in comparison to the open front end on motorcycles. The pass-through leg area design was geared towards all user groups, including women, as wearing dresses or skirts made riding a motorcycle a challenge. The front fork, like an aircraft's landing gear, allowed for easy wheel changing. The internal mesh transmission eliminated the standard motorcycle chain, a source of oil, dirt, and aesthetic misery. This basic design allowed a series of features to be deployed on the frame, which would later allow quick development of new models.&lt;br /&gt;However, D'Ascanio fell out with Innocenti, who rather than a moulded and beaten spar-frame wanted to produce his Innocenti frame from rolled tubing, there by allowing him to revive both parts of his pre-War company. D'Ascanio disassociated himself with Innocenti, and took his design to Enrico Piaggio to produce the spar-framed Vespa from 1946. Innocenti, after overcoming design difficulties and later production difficulties through his choice of a tubular frame, went on to produce the more costly to create Lambretta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1v3a7rI/AAAAAAAAAN4/TOIAy_JdEWQ/s1600-h/gykf.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189856335182360242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1v3a7rI/AAAAAAAAAN4/TOIAy_JdEWQ/s320/gykf.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="The_product" name="The_product"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The product&lt;br /&gt;Glove box on newer Vespa PX&lt;br /&gt;On 23 April, 1946 at 12 o'clock in the central office for inventions, models and makes of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Florence, Piaggio e C. S.p.A. took out a patent for a "motorcycle of a rational complexity of organs and elements combined with a frame with mudguards and a casing covering the whole mechanical part".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The basic patented design allowed a series of features to be deployed on the spar-frame, which would later allow quick development of new models. The original Vespa featured a rear pillion seat for a passenger, or optionally a storage compartment. The original front protection "shield" was a flat piece of aero metal; later this developed in to a twin skin to allow additional storage behind the front shield, similar to the glove compartment in a car. The fuel cap was located underneath the (hinged) seat, which saved the cost of an additional lock on the fuel cap or need for additional metal work on the smooth skin.&lt;br /&gt;The scooter had rigid rear suspension and small 8-inch (200 mm) wheels that allowed a compact design and plenty of room for the rider's legs. The Vespa's enclosed, horizontally-mounted two-stroke 98 cc engine acted directly on the rear drive wheel through a three-speed transmission. The twistgrip-controlled gear change involved a system of rods. The early engine had no cooling, but fan blades were soon attached to the flywheel (otherwise known as the magneto, which houses the points and generates electricity for the bike and for the engine's spark) to push air over the cylinder's cooling fins. The modern Vespa engine is still cooled this way. The mixture of two-stroke oil in the fuel produced high amounts of smoke, and the engine made a high buzzing sound like a wasp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="The_name_Vespa" name="The_name_Vespa"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name Vespa&lt;br /&gt;The first prototype was given the initials MP5 and baptized "Paperino," the Italian name for Donald Duck, a nick-name given to it by the workers because of the strange shape it had. Enrico Piaggio did not like the design and asked D'Ascanio to redesign it - which he did with a more aeronautical-derived aerodynamic look.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYw2_3a7tI/AAAAAAAAAOI/LUnT9J45_PQ/s1600-h/gchkhgd.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189889342006030034" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYw2_3a7tI/AAAAAAAAAOI/LUnT9J45_PQ/s320/gchkhgd.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;When the second prototype called MP6, was shown to Enrico Piaggio and he heard the buzzing sound of the engine he exclaimed: "Sembra una vespa!" ("It reminds me of a wasp!") The name stuck Vespa is both Latin and Italian for wasp—derived from both the high-pitched noise of the two-stroke engine, and adopted as a name for the vehicle in reference to its body shape: the thicker rear part connected to the front part by a narrow waist, and the steering rod resembled antennae.&lt;br /&gt;Ape (pronounced Ah-pay), is Italian for bee. This was the three-wheeled variant used for commercial purposes, including the popular auto rickshaw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a id="Launch" name="Launch"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Launch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYP6f3a7nI/AAAAAAAAANY/AZ9Tpo_n_FA/s1600-h/vespa.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189853118251855474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYP6f3a7nI/AAAAAAAAANY/AZ9Tpo_n_FA/s320/vespa.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piaggio filed a patent for the Vespa scooter design in April 1946. The application documents referred to a "model of a practical nature" for a "motorcycle with rationally placed parts and elements with a frame combining with mudguards and engine-cowling covering all working parts", of which "the whole constitutes a rational, comfortable motorcycle offering protection from mud and dust without jeopardizing requirements of appearance and elegance". The patent was approved the following deecember.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYP6P3a7lI/AAAAAAAAANI/1clcieuvT5g/s1600-h/ihb.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189853113956888146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYP6P3a7lI/AAAAAAAAANI/1clcieuvT5g/s320/ihb.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first 13 examples appeared in spring 1946, and reveal their aeronautical background. In the first examples, one can recognize the typical aircraft technology. Attention to aerodynamics is evident in all the design, in particular on the tail. It was also one of the first vehicles to use monocoque construction (where the body is an integral part of the chassis).&lt;br /&gt;The company was aiming to manufacture the new Vespa in large numbers, and their longstanding industrial experience led to an efficient Ford-style volume production line. The scooter was presented to the press at Rome Golf Club, where journalists were apparently mystified by the strange, pastel coloured, toy-like object on display. But the road tests were encouraging, and even with no rear suspension the machine was more manoeuvrable and comfortable to ride than a traditional motorcycle.&lt;br /&gt;Following its public debut at the 1946 Milan Fair, the first fifty sold slowly—then with the introduction of payment by installments, sales took off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Sales_and_development" name="Sales_and_development"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales and development&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="image" title="Original Vespa attached to a sidecar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vespasidecar.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="internal" title="Enlarge" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vespasidecar.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Original Vespa attached to a sidecar&lt;br /&gt;Piaggio sold some 2,500 Vespas in 1947, over 10,000 in 1948, 20,000 in 1949, and over 60,000 in 1950.&lt;br /&gt;The biggest sales promo ever was Hollywood. In 1952, Audrey Hepburn side-saddled Gregory Peck's Vespa in the film Roman Holiday for a ride through Rome, resulting in over 100,000 sales. In 1956, John Wayne dismounted his horse in favor of the two-wheeler to originally get between takes on sets. By the end of the fifties, Lucia Bosé and her husband, the matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, as well as Marlon Brando, Dean Martin, and the entertainer Abbe Lane had become Vespa owners. William Wyler filmed Ben Hur in Rome in 1959, allowing Charlton Heston to abandon horse and chariot between takes to take a spin on the Vespa.&lt;br /&gt;Vespa clubs popped up throughout Europe, and by 1952, worldwide Vespa Club membership had surpassed 50,000. By the mid-1950s, Vespas were being manufactured under licence in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Spain; in the 1960s, production was started in India, Brazil and Indonesia. By 1956, one million had been sold, then two million by 1960. By the 1960s, the Vespa—originally conceived as a utility vehicle—had come to symbolize freedom and imagination, and resulted in further sales boosts: four million by 1970, and ten million by the late 1980s. Between 1957 and 1961 a reverse-engineered and partially redesigned version of the Vespa was made in USSR under the name Vjatka-VP150&lt;br /&gt;Improvements were made to the original design and new models were introduced. The 1948 Vespa 125 had rear suspension and a bigger engine. The headlamp was moved up to the handlebars in 1953, and had more engine power and a restyled rear fairing. A cheaper spartan version was also available. One of the best-loved models was the Vespa 150 GS introduced in 1955 with a 150 cc engine, a long saddle, and the faired handlebar-headlamp unit. Then came the 50 cc of 1963, and in 1968 Vespa 125 Primavera became one of the most durable of all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="image" title="T5 Millennium from the PX series" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Piaggio_vespa_px125_060117.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1v3a7qI/AAAAAAAAANw/-34n3KtPKRo/s1600-h/fyjdy.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189856335182360226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1v3a7qI/AAAAAAAAANw/-34n3KtPKRo/s320/fyjdy.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="internal" title="Enlarge" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Piaggio_vespa_px125_060117.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;T5 Millennium from the PX series&lt;br /&gt;Vespas came in two sizes, referred to as "largeframe" and "smallframe". The smallframe scooters came in 50cc, 90cc, 100 cc, and 125 cc versions, all using an engine derived from the 50 cc model of 1963, and the largeframe scooters in 125cc,150cc,160cc,180cc and 200 cc displacements using engines derived from the redesigned 125 cc engine from the late 50's.&lt;br /&gt;The largeframe Vespa evolved into the PX range (still in production in 125 and 150 cc versions - update Piaggio just stopped production July 2007) in the late 70's, while the smallframe evolved into the PK range in the early 80's although some vintage-styled smallframes were produced for the Japanese market as late as the mid 90's.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The 1990s and beyond&lt;br /&gt;By the early 1990s, Vespa was in crisis. Its models were selling slowly, two-strokes were being withdrawn around the world due to environmental concerns, new Asian manufacturers were stealing market share with cheaper/lighter bikes, and cars were very cheap. As a result, sales had fallen and production in Europe had been pulled back to Italy. Vespa needed a miracle—and a new model, beyond the PX.&lt;br /&gt;The ET model range stuck true to the wasp/aero design principles. It was lighter, more aerodynamic, had an automatic gearbox and could take a series of engines from a 50 cc in either two-stroke or four-stroke, up to a 150 cc four stroke. Plus, it was launched when traffic congestion in major European cities was on the increase, so the smaller wheel size didn't matter. It was a complete success, and allowed Vespa to re-enter the North American market in 2001 with a new, more modern style.&lt;br /&gt;When Vespa celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1996, more than 15 million of the scooters had been sold worldwide, making it the most successful scooter of all time. Other companies vied with Piaggio for market share, but none came close to emulating the success—or romance—of Vespa. The nostalgic image of Vespa, however, could not hide the fact that Vespa was making a loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Under_new_ownership" name="Under_new_ownership"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1f3a7pI/AAAAAAAAANo/gQ1AbD0ofkU/s1600-h/5206.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189856330887392914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAYS1f3a7pI/AAAAAAAAANo/gQ1AbD0ofkU/s320/5206.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under new ownership&lt;br /&gt;In 2003, the company found itself close to bankruptcy. Continual management changes and millions spent on many different plans and products had saddled Piaggio with crushing debts and left it vulnerable to competition from cheaper Asian rivals.&lt;br /&gt;In 1959, Piaggio came under the control of the Agnelli family, the owners of car maker Fiat SpA. Vespa thrived until 1992 when Giovanni Alberto Agnelli became CEO, but Agnelli was already suffering from cancer, and died in 1997. In 1999, Morgan Grenfell Private Equity acquired Piaggio, but a quickly hoped-for sale was dashed by a failed joint venture in China.&lt;br /&gt;Then came Roberto Colaninno: A lot of people told me I was crazy. Piaggio wasn't dying. It just needed to be treated better. Piaggio's finances were in a bad shape, but its brand was still well-known and its products were featuring in more Hollywood films thanks to the Vespa ET4. In October 2003, Colaninno made an initial investment of 100 million euros through his holding company Immsi SpA in exchange for just under a third of Piaggio and the mandate to run it. Chief executive Rocco Sabelli, redesigned the factory to Japanese principles, and redesigned the factory so that every Piaggio scooter could be made on any assembly line.&lt;br /&gt;Colaninno laid down some rules, and made quick changes: he didn't fire a single worker—a move which helped seduce the company's skeptical unions; all bonuses for blue-collar workers and management were based on the same criteria: profit margins and customer satisfaction. Air conditioning was installed in the factory, and he gave the company's engineers, who had been idled by the company's financial crisis, deadlines for projects. They rolled out two world firsts in 2004: a gas-electric hybrid scooter and a scooter with two wheels in front and one in back which grips the road better.&lt;br /&gt;One of Piaggio's problems Mr. Colaninno couldn't fix from the inside was its scale. Even though Piaggio was the European market leader, it was dwarfed by rivals Honda and Yamaha. A year after rescuing Piaggio, Colaninno decided to salvage another Italian brand: scooter and motorcycle maker Aprilia. On July 11, 2006, shares of Piaggio &amp;amp; Co., became available to the general public through listing on the Milan [Italy] Stock Exchange or Borsa Italiana. Piaggio share prices, converted to US Dollars, may be found under the trading symbol: PIAGF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Re-entry_to_North_America" name="Re-entry_to_North_America"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design Icon&lt;br /&gt;With its elegant lines and classic aesthetics, the Vespa is recognized as the epitome of Italian design. In recent years, many urban commuters have purchased new or restored Vespas. A shortage of available parking for automobiles in large urban areas and the Vespa's low running costs are two reasons for the increase in Vespa (and other scooter) popularity. The cultural use of the scooter as a recreational vehicle with a sub-cultural following in the USA/Canada and parts of Europe &amp;amp; Japan has also contributed to the rise in Vespa ownership. In contrast, the Vespa is considered a utilitarian vehicle for hauling products and sometimes up to 5 family members in much of Asia and Mexico&lt;br /&gt;Vespa enthusiasts can visit the comprehensive Piaggio Museum &amp;amp; Gift Shop adjacent to the plant in central Pontedera, near Pisa, Tuscany. The permanent exhibition includes those items which toured prestigious venues such as the Guggenheim in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Also on display is, perhaps, the most famous Vespa of them all - the one personally customised by Salvador Dalí in 1962.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Global_Markets" name="Global_Markets"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a

She received a degree in mathematics from the American University of Beirut before moving to study at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. After graduating she worked with her former teacher, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, becoming a partner in 1977. It was with Koolhaas that she met Peter Rice who gave her support and encouragement early on, at a time when her work seemed difficult to build. In 1980 she established her own London-based practice. During the 1980s she also taught at the Architectural Association. She has also taught at prestigious institutions around the world; she held the Kenzo Tange Chair at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University, the Sullivan Chair at the University of Illinois School of Architecture in Chicago, guest professorships at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg, the Knolton School of Architecture, at the Ohio State University, the Masters Studio at Columbia University, New York and the Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor of Architectural Design at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. In addition, she was made Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. She is currently Professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in Austria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SALjjf3a7kI/AAAAAAAAANA/QRMGcpNpNp4/s1600-h/lighta.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188959919673110082" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SALjjf3a7kI/AAAAAAAAANA/QRMGcpNpNp4/s320/lighta.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A winner of many international competitions, theoretically influential and groundbreaking, a number of Hadid's winning designs were initially never built: notably, The Peak Club in Hong Kong(1983) and the Cardiff Bay Opera House in Wales (1994). In 2002 Hadid won the international design competition to design Singapore's one-north masterplan. In 2005, her design won the competition for the new city casino of Basel, Switzerland. In 2004 Hadid became the first female recipient of the Pritzker ArchitecturePrize, architecture's equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Previously, she had been awarded a CBE for services to architecture. She is a member of the editorial board of the Encyclopædia Britannica. In 2006, Hadid was honoured with a retrospective spanning her entire work at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Charles Edouard Jeanneret-Gris. A los 29 años se trasladó a París donde adoptó el seudónimo "Le Corbusier", el apellido de su abuelo materno. Su padre se dedicaba a lacar cajas de relojes para la industria relojera de su ciudad natal, y su madre fue pianista y profesora de música.&lt;br /&gt;En 1900 Le Corbusier comenzó su aprendizaje como grabador y cincelador en la escuela de arte de La Chaux-de-Fonds, en Suiza. Uno de sus profesores, Charles L'Eplattenier, le orientó hacia la pintura y después hacia la arquitectura. En 1905 diseñó su primer edificio, una casa unifamiliar para un miembro de la Escuela de Arte, la Villa Vallet. En los próximos diez años hizo numerosos edificios, que no obstante todavía no llevan su sello característico posterior, y que él mismo no incluyó en el registro de sus obras.&lt;br /&gt;Ya en París, trabajó durante 15 meses en el estudio de Auguste Perret, arquitecto pionero en la técnica de construcción en hormigón armado. A continuación viajó a Alemania para estudiar las tendencias arquitectónicas de ese país. Allí trabajó en la oficina de Peter Behrens, donde se estima que puede haber coincidido con Ludwig Mies van der Rohe y Walter Gropius, quienes también trabajaron ahí. Visitó también Estados Unidos, donde se familiarizó con la obra de Frank Lloyd Wright, que por aquel entonces comenzaba a ser apreciada en Europa. El año 1911 lo dedicó por completo a viajar. Desde Viena fue a Rumanía, Turquía, Grecia e Italia y a su regreso fue profesor durante dos años en el departamento de arquitectura y decoración de la Escuela de Arte de París.&lt;br /&gt;En 1922 Le Corbusier abrió un despacho de arquitectura con su primo Pierre Jeanneret, con el cual mantuvo su asociación hasta 1940. Inicialmente los dos diseñaron casi exclusivamente edificios residenciales. Uno de sus grandes proyectos de estos años, en este caso como urbanista, es su diseño conceptual de una ciudad de tres millones de habitantes, la Ville Contemporaine.&lt;br /&gt;En octubre de 1929 Le Corbusier dictó en Buenos Aires un ciclo de diez conferencias, invitado por la Asociación Amigos del Arte. En este viaje también visitó Río de Janeiro, Asunción y Montevideo.&lt;br /&gt;Le Corbusier fue un trabajador incansable. Realizó innumerables proyectos, muchos de los cuales nunca llegaron a realizarse, pero que marcaron a generaciones posteriores de arquitectos.&lt;br /&gt;Difundió también sus ideas urbanas a través del CIAM (Congreso Internacional de Arquitectura Moderna) cuyo documento resultante es La Carta de Atenas. Sin embargo, fue únicamente en Chandigarh, India, donde pudo hacerlas realidad.&lt;br /&gt;El 27 de Agosto de 1965, desobedeciendo las indicaciones de su médico, Le Corbusier fue a nadar a Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, en el Mediterráneo francés. Fue encontrado muerto por unos pescadores, presumiblemente de un ataque al corazón.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAAAs0BB2rI/AAAAAAAAAJg/-0Qq57TN_vc/s1600-h/casa+curuchet.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188147540608015026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAAAs0BB2rI/AAAAAAAAAJg/-0Qq57TN_vc/s320/casa+curuchet.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAAESkBB2sI/AAAAAAAAAJo/SA5xnxVo2_g/s1600-h/aas.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188151487682960066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/SAAESkBB2sI/AAAAAAAAAJo/SA5xnxVo2_g/s320/aas.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy en día la obra y el pensamiento de Le Corbusier siguen vigentes, tanto en la práctica como en la enseñanza y en la teoría de la arquitectura. Como una de las figuras clave de la modernidad, la continuación del movimiento tiene en él y en sus obras un referente directo. Como uno de los precursores del brutalismo, sus trabajos posteriores han servido de base a corrientes arquitectónicas apoyadas en la tectónica (expresión de los materiales y sistemas constructivos) y en diferentes enfoques regionalistas.&lt;br /&gt;Si bien para muchas figuras del pensamiento arquitectónico contemporáneo, la modernidad es un movimiento obsoleto, y por lo tanto las obras y premisas de su arquitectura no deben continuarse, hay un grupo importante de arquitectos (llamados neomodernos o simplemente modernos) que continúan haciendo arquitectura en el espíritu de Le Corbusier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mas informacion buscar en :Google.com dahh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny pics of the day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_-810BB2fI/AAAAAAAAAIA/0KhYeLbQKRA/s1600-h/bumpermath_thumb.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188072928436148722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_-810BB2fI/AAAAAAAAAIA/0KhYeLbQKRA/s320/bumpermath_thumb.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Historico&lt;/span&gt;-sociales&lt;/span&gt; que caracterizan al &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;postmodernismo&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-Las grandes instituciones, como la Iglesia, pierden influencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-En contraposición con la Modernidad, la &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Postmodernidad&lt;/span&gt; es la época del desencanto. Se renuncia a las utopías y a la idea de progreso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3-Se produce un cambio en el orden económico capitalista, pasando de una economía de producción hacia una economía del consumo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4-Desaparecen las grandes figuras carismáticas, y surgen infinidad de pequeños ídolos que duran hasta que surge algo mas novedoso y atrayente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5-La revalorización de la naturaleza y la defensa del medio ambiente, se mezcla con la compulsión al consumo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-Las medios y el &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;marketing&lt;/span&gt; se convierten en centros de poder e influyen en diversos factores como:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a)-Que ya no importa el contenido del mensaje, sino la forma que es transmitido, y el grado de convicción que pueda producir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b)-Desaparecen las ideologías como forma de elección de los líderes, y es reemplazada por la imagen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c)-Se convierten en transmisoras de la verdad, lo que se expresa en el hecho de que lo que no aparece por un medio de comunicación masiva, simplemente no existe para la sociedad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d)-Pero también aleja al receptor de la información recibida sacándole realidad y relevancia, convirtiéndola en mero entretenimiento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;e)-Se pierde la intimidad y la vida de los demás se convierten en un &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;show&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Características &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"  style="color:#993399;"&gt;Sociopsicológicas&lt;/span&gt; del &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;postmodernismo&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-Los individuos solo quieren vivir el presente, el futuro y el pasado pierden importancia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-Hay una búsqueda del inmediato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3-Se caracteriza por el proceso de perdida de la personalidad individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4-La única revolución que en individuo está dispuesto a llevar a cabo es la interior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5-Se hace culto al cuerpo y la liberación personal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6-Se vuelve a lo místico como justificación de sucesos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7-Perdidas de fe en la razón y la ciencia, pero en contrapartida se hace culto a la tecnología.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8-El hombre basa su existencia en el relativismo y la pluralidad de opciones, al igual que un subjetivismo en la mirada de la realidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9-Perdida de fe en el poder publico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10-Perdida de preocupación ante la injusticia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11-Desaparición de idealismos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12-Perdida de la ambición personal de auto superación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13-Desaparición de la valorización del esfuerzo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grandes exponentes del &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;Postmodernismo&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#993399;"&gt;Memphis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzEBB2RI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/4MG-qxNNDdU/s1600-h/TEXT+FORM+ETTORE+EXHIBITION+AT+THE+BOILERHOUSE+VICTORIA+AND+ALBERT+MUSEUM,+LONDON.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187660564331092242" style="WIDTH: 350px;

When the group met one evening at Sottsass' home, Bob Dylan's song "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" was playing. Struck by the diverse implications of "Memphis," the designers adopted the name. It suggested not only the typical American city, the blues, and suburbia, but also conjured visions of the ancient Egyptian capital, thus signaling contemporary and historical meaning as well as high and low culture. Memphis annually introduced new furniture, lighting, textiles, ceramics, and glass objects in Milan from 1981 through the late 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-N0BB2OI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Z0rFD4zHcmQ/s1600-h/image451.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187652227799570658" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-N0BB2OI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Z0rFD4zHcmQ/s320/image451.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187660568626059570" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzUBB2TI/AAAAAAAAAGg/xQ7NSFzBVmo/s320/ARCHITECTURAL+DRAWING+ETTORE+SOTTSASS.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dibujo architectonico de E.S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-N0BB2NI/AAAAAAAAAFw/M4-J_nVELXc/s1600-h/superlamp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187652227799570642" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-N0BB2NI/AAAAAAAAAFw/M4-J_nVELXc/s320/superlamp.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-N0BB2OI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Z0rFD4zHcmQ/s1600-h/image451.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-NkBB2MI/AAAAAAAAAFo/6bpvIAKShTg/s1600-h/img_3121.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187652223504603330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-NkBB2MI/AAAAAAAAAFo/6bpvIAKShTg/s320/img_3121.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzUBB2UI/AAAAAAAAAGo/44sskRJYK3Q/s1600-h/SG.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187660568626059586" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzUBB2UI/AAAAAAAAAGo/44sskRJYK3Q/s320/SG.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5PiEBB2aI/AAAAAAAAAHY/DN0a6Dqs5yE/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187671267389594018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5PiEBB2aI/AAAAAAAAAHY/DN0a6Dqs5yE/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Valentine 1969&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-NkBB2LI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2b_CXccNzrQ/s1600-h/memphis%20barstool.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187652223504603314" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_4-NkBB2LI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2b_CXccNzrQ/s320/memphis%2520barstool.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzEBB2SI/AAAAAAAAAGY/B6Y0ydEggSU/s1600-h/ETORRE+SOTTSASS+WITH+HIS+1981+BEVERLY+CABINET+FOR+MENPHIS.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187660564331092258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5FzEBB2SI/AAAAAAAAAGY/B6Y0ydEggSU/s320/ETORRE+SOTTSASS+WITH+HIS+1981+BEVERLY+CABINET+FOR+MENPHIS.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Ettore with his Bervely cabinet for Memphis. 1981&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En esta pagina podran ver la biografia de Ettore Sottsass.

Guerriero offered designers space to exhibit their prototypes, thus freeing themfrom the constrains of industry. This allowed for a second wave of Anti-Design in Milan in the second half of the 1970s, though by now that movement had become more international. Thus the designers he approached in 1978 included Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, the UFO Group. Michele De Lucchi. Its first two collections, shown in 1979 and 1980, were ironically called "Bauhaus l" and "Bauhaus 2". Its forms included kitsch references and motifs recalling imagery from the 1950s - an obvious source in the collection' aims to amalgamate design and everyday life and culture. Mendini became the studio's key spokesman in the 1980s and he remained preoccupied with the ultimate inability of design to change society. He wrote, " the avant-garde is fated to play an isolated, aristocratic, restricted and brief role: a kind of enervating program of self-immolation consumes it and destroys it before it becomes widely acceptable". Thus Studio Alchymia described itself as "post avant-garde". In many respects, Alchymia was a forerunner of the more commercial Memphis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5ODkBB2VI/AAAAAAAAAGw/x4FNzHSWjNM/s1600-h/Alchymia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187669643891956050" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5ODkBB2VI/AAAAAAAAAGw/x4FNzHSWjNM/s320/Alchymia.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5OD0BB2WI/AAAAAAAAAG4/0-KGyD9T4Sk/s1600-h/1021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187669648186923362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5OD0BB2WI/AAAAAAAAAG4/0-KGyD9T4Sk/s320/1021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5OD0BB2XI/AAAAAAAAAHA/icRTS5F8HXI/s1600-h/ETTORE+TABLE+FRO+ALCHYMIA.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187669648186923378" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5OD0BB2XI/AAAAAAAAAHA/icRTS5F8HXI/s320/ETTORE+TABLE+FRO+ALCHYMIA.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Funny pics of the day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5PikBB2bI/AAAAAAAAAHg/bt17rW54i0g/s1600-h/ICONATOR_b177995717138eecc30f1a3f9fb51044_thumb.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187671275979528626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5PikBB2bI/AAAAAAAAAHg/bt17rW54i0g/s320/ICONATOR_b177995717138eecc30f1a3f9fb51044_thumb.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5QskBB2dI/AAAAAAAAAHw/oo32UBZkRv0/s1600-h/01AwcAX2DaECsAAAADAAAAAAAAAAA_.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187672547289848274" style="CURSOR: hand" height="147" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5QskBB2dI/AAAAAAAAAHw/oo32UBZkRv0/s320/01AwcAX2DaECsAAAADAAAAAAAAAAA_.png" width="150" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3rMZVtseH6U/R_5QsEBB2cI/AAAAAAAAAHo/ILzDKisrXlk/s1600-h/826_thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187672538699913666" style="WIDTH: 130px;

It drives on land powered by its electric rear-wheel drive powertrain, utilizing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Upon entering water, it floats on the surface until the operator floods the interior to submerge it. It can be submerged to a depth of 10 metres (33 ft), powered by twin electric-powered propellers supplemented by two Seabob water jets. It "flies" when underwater, like a submarine, as it is not designed to drive along the surface at the bottom of the water. The car's top land speed is 120 km/h (75 mph). On the surface of water, the top speed is 6 km/h (3.2 kn/3.7 mph) and underwater it is 3 km/h (1.6 kn/1.9 mph).&lt;br /&gt;The vehicle can transport a driver and passenger in its open cockpit. The open cockpit design is intended to allow the occupants to escape easily in case of emergency. When underwater, the occupants breathe air carried in the vehicle through scuba-style rebreathers.
