Extractions: March 17 - August 5, 2001 Disneyland, the worlds first theme park, opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. Structured by its themes, the park was divided into five smaller "lands" designed around cinematic and cultural motifs with particular meaning to Walt Disney: Main Street U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, and Tomorrowland. The architecture of the theme park was familiar from movies and television shows: Disneyland was a kind of backlot tour of a make-believe place where the illusion of a frontier town or a space colony could be conjured up at will. At the same time Disney saw the park as a tacit critique of the chaotic American city and the meandering post-war suburbs that were ruled by the automobile. New approaches to architecture and city planning are still central elements of the Disney parks. Today, the principles embedded in Disneyland have spread outside the parks and into the hotel complexes surrounding them, into stores and malls, and into our daily lives.

Extractions: The Disney Legacy: Storytelling, Placemaking, and the American Life For seventy years, the Disney name has been synonymous with innovative storytelling, from animated films with carefully scripted characters and plots to parks designed to evoke particular places and themes. In this daylong symposium, we will examine how Disney animators and theme park designers have changed the way stories are told and will debate the purpose of narrative in the design of buildings, neighborhoods, and towns. Participants include John Canemaker, Philip Johnson, Karal Ann Marling, David Rockwell, Fath Davis Ruffins, Martin Sklar, Robert A. M. Stern, and Ken Wong. This program complements the exhibition The Architecture of Reassurance: Designing the Disney Theme Parks , organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, and will be held in the Great Hall at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, located at 7th Street and Third Avenue.

Extractions: Theme Parks: Walt Disney World Universal Escape SeaWorld Discovery Cove O rlando's location at the cente r of Florida's land mass puts it about the same distance from the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts. It's an hour's drive to the Space Coast and Cocoa Beach, and just a little more time to get to Daytona Beach. The Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, are a little under two hours drive, and less if you're staying outside of Orlando, closer to Walt Disney World. If you drive west to the Gulf Coast, you'll relax on pearly white sand beaches, and see such Tampa Bay attractions as Busch Gardens, and the barrier island communities. The Orlando area is now the top tourist destination in the United States. The growth of the theme parks have led to the area becoming a busy, entertainment-filled region. And there's much more than Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios to be experienced.

Extractions: Read Demystifying Digital Cinema: Part 3 In many ways, the business issues regarding digital cinema are more clear-cut than the technical ones. Normally, when a new technology develops, the price tag gets more attention than the bits and pieces that lie under the hood. But at the current stage of digital cinema, it's what's under the hood that will affect long-term pricing. The goal of this article, and of the short series to follow, is to bring the issues of system architecture for digital cinema into focus, as these issues will ultimately affect the business of exhibition. How does technology affect business? One way is through the cost of that technology. If a technology becomes necessary but unaffordable, that state of affairs significantly reduces the options available to the business owner utilizing that technology. While one might think that achieving the lowest cost is everyone's top priority, this is not always the case. Many companies have a stake in a particular technology, either because they own intellectual property associated with their product, or because they have made a significant investment in a particular style of doing things and it's too expensive for them to change. For some, acknowledging that a better method exists might eliminate the need for their product in this market. The technology game is a high-risk game. Low cost isn't always the prime motivator.
