When homeschooled students graduate, what comes next for their
moms? Post-Homeschooling Moms addresses the need of refilling and
redirection for the next season of their lives. Is the end of your
home-schooling career within sight? With a combination of memoir,
insights from other women who have experienced this transition, and
practical wisdom, author Carol Willis offers encouragement and new
vision as you move forward.
This volume is dedicated to the 565 Broome Street skyscraper, the
first residential building conceived by Renzo Piano and designed by
the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in the city of New York.
Developed by Bizzi & Partners, the double tower occupies a
corner space in the SoHo district, close to the Hudson River. Rich
and fascinating iconography and a text by Federico Bucci and Carol
Willis describe the design, the main features of the building, and
how it relates to the city and the light that surrounds it in a
unique way. The photographic selection is divided into thematic
chapters, starting from the representation of the building s urban
context and then illustrating the different parts of the project,
the formal and structural characteristics of the towers, and the
interiors. It also describes the contemporary artwork by Susumu
Shingu that occupies the space between the towers.
The construction of the Empire State Building was orchestrated by
general contractors Starrett Brothers and Eken, premier "skyline
builders" of the 1920s. They scheduled the delivery of materials
and the construction and recorded daily the number of workers by
trade. Compiled from these records, an in-house notebook documented
the construction process. Meticulously typed on graph paper and
illustrated with construction photographs, this unique document
combines a professional specificity of detail with a charming
rhapsody to the firm's crowning achievement.Constructed in eleven
months, the 1250-foot Empire State Building, the world's tallest
skyscraper from 1931 to 1971, was a marvel of modern engineering.
The frame rose more than a story a day; no comparable building
since has matched that rate of ascent.
