Richard Barnes Photography

by sbrothier
Richard Barnes divides his time between commissioned work and personal projects. He looks at architecture as artifact and, placing it within the context of archaeology, challenges our conceptions of the way we inhabit and represent the built environment. His photographs are in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New York Public Library and the Harvard Photographic Archive. He was a recipient of the Rome Prize for 2005-06.

Harvard study: Computers don't save hospitals money

by night.kame

"For 45 years or so, people have been claiming computers are going to save vast amounts of money and that the payoff was just around the corner," he said. "So the first thing we need to do is stop claiming things there's no evidence for. It's based on vaporware and [hasn't been] shown to exist or shown to be true."

Un RSI, ça se calcule, mais pour ça, il faut oser regarder le passé en face : ça c'est innovant.

This being a blog about maps, I of course mean Harvard not as a school but as a geographic entity. What color is the landscape, physical and cultural? When people look around at whatever interests them, what colors are they looking at?

People will be able to control and federate their own data

Authored by John Clippinger

John Clippinger, who directs the Law Lab at Harvard University, predicts a huge shift over the next one to two years in the way people manage their identities.

Pleading Poverty: Colleges Want Parents to Foot the Bill for Their Largess - WSJ.com

by karlcow

We can now add colleges and universities to the list of victims of the financial crisis. The stock-market collapse has badly eroded endowments, forcing schools to suspend capital projects, freeze hiring, rethink need-blind financial-aid policies and cut budgets. The Journal reported this week that Harvard University's giant-killer endowment, which stood at $36.9 billion as of June 30, has lost 22% of its value in the months since and that the university's administration is planning for a 30% decline for the fiscal year ending next June.

I Just Quit My Job... Am I Crazy? - Harvard Business Online's Conversation Starter

by karlcow

I did the unthinkable yesterday. In the midst of this economic turbulence we're facing, I decided to leave my job to pursue some long-neglected passions of mine: studying foreign language, teaching, and something so self-indulgent I can hardly bear to utter it (writing). What I'm leaving behind is admittedly a middling (but respectable) career in publishing, but one, from the point of view of the working class people I grew up with, you just wouldn't throw away. My parents didn't go to college, and to them "pissing away" a decent salary is about as stupid a move as you can make.

Innovate or Perish - harvard design magazine • current issue

by karlcow (via)

Innovation is a development that people find useful or meaningful. To be innovative, architects — and works of architecture themselves — must become more responsive to their users and environments. In other words, they must incorporate feedback from their physical and cultural contexts rather than relying solely on conventional analytical or internal processes of development . . . from design to construction. — Ali Rahim, architect1
