However, through vigorous training and rigorous athletic training on Boone's part, which includes a morning run to Gettysburg National Cemetery a motivational speech: the team achieves racial harmony and emerges a unified team.

As a reaction to the overly rigid and schematic conception of architecture in the postwar years the Dutch Structuralists focused on the human being, the inhabitant, as an individual with changing needs and lifestyles. The key protagonists of the movement were, among others, Aldo van Eyck, Jaap Bakema, Herman Hertzberger and Geert Boon, the so-called „Forum Group“ which made up the editorial board of the Forum magazine. In their orbit also moved the young Jan Verhoeven, then student at the Academie van Bouwkunst in Amsterdam and a student of Aldo van Eyck whose seminars and teaching deeply impressed him: the human scale of his projects as well as his spatial configurations of added small units can also be found in Verhoeven’s house designs. Another recurring theme in his work is the zoning of individual and collective parts, a principle that came to bear especially in his housing projects.

The latter also constitutes the major part of his architectural oeuvre as the present book demonstrates: Mette Zahle’s monograph „Jan Verhoeven 1926-1994 - Exponent van het Structuralisme“, published by Stichting Bonas in 2012, which provides both a comprehensive work analysis and catalogue with special emphasis on Verhoeven’s housing projects. The author recounts Verhoeven’s deep involvement with the different housing programs and architect groups that especially during the 1960s and 1970s greatly influenced state funded housing construction, e.g. Werkgroep Stichting Nieuw Woonvormen, which he co-founded, and with it emphasizes the architect‘s deep concern for resident-focused housing. The basis for these designs always rests on Verhoeven’s unique variation of linked and mirrored uniform components that result in fascinating floor plan structures and equally fascinating drawings.

What Zahle’s book on the other hand lacks is a deeper insight into Verhoeven’s personality: although she delves into his upbringing and training and also doesn’t spare out the importance of the architect’s wife Eva as corrective authority Verhoeven nonetheless remains somewhat opaque as a person. But in view of the extensive work catalogue this is a negligible flaw and the book remains a great read.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

A rising tide and a bigger pie: Economic growth has long been considered such an obvious boon that it’s pursued by governments across the world as a matter of course. But in 2016, when a London professor warned an audience in Newcastle that Brexit would lead to a precipitous drop in Britain’s gross domestic product, that well-worn measure of economic activity, one woman’s heckling caught him by surprise. “That’s your bloody G.D.P.,” she shouted, “not ours!”

The eruption tapped into a suspicion supported by reality: Gains in economic growth have too often buoyed the fortunes of the richest instead of lifting all boats. Prosperity even in the most prosperous countries hasn’t been shared. But all the attention to inequality is just a crack in the edifice of economic orthodoxy. Now a much more radical proposition has emerged, looming like a wrecking ball: Is economic growth desirable at all?

Less than two decades ago, an economist like Herman Daly, who argued for a “steady-state economy,” was such an outlier that his fellow economist Benjamin Friedman could declare that “practically nobody opposes economic growth per se.” Yet today there is a burgeoning “post-growth” and “degrowth” movement doing exactly that — in journals, on podcasts, at conferences. Consider some of the books published in the last several years: Tim Jackson’s “Post-Growth: Life After Capitalism,” Kate Soper’s “Post-Growth Living,” Giorgos Kallis’s “In Defense of Degrowth,” Vincent Liegey and Anitra Nelson’s “Exploring Degrowth,” Jason Hickel’s “Less Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World.” The proliferation of the term is as good an indicator as any: The literature of degrowth is growing.

In 1972, the French theorist André Gorz coined the word décroissance to ask whether “no-growth — or even degrowth” in material production was necessary for “the earth’s balance,” even if it ran counter to “the survival of the capitalist system.” Gorz was writing the same year that “The Limits to Growth” was published, a report by a group of scientists warning that surges in population and economic activity would eventually outstrip the carrying capacity of the planet. “The Limits to Growth” was initially met with skepticism and even ridicule. Critics pointed to humanity’s undeniably impressive record of technological innovation. As one representative economist put it, “Our predictions are firmly based on a study of the way these problems have been overcome in the past.”

And so degrowth remained on the fringes of the fringe for decades, until increasing awareness about global warming percolated into public debates in the early aughts. The realization that we hadn’t innovated our way out of our ecological predicament, along with inequalities laid bare by the 2008 financial crisis, fueled a more widespread distrust of the conventional capitalist wisdom. Maybe relentless economic growth was more poison than panacea.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend. 💕

Meet: Prince Siegfried of Vancouver

faceclaim: herman tømmeraas

Siegfried, a 6th generation Ventrue, holds the position of Prince in Vancouver, where he exercises absolute rule over the city and its supernatural inhabitants. He commands respect and wields an immense amount of influence that extends far beyond the boundaries of Vancouver itself.

Siegfried's tenure as Prince of Vancouver has been characterized by the maintenance of a delicate peace between the vampire clans and the "taming" of the Garou, the werewolf tribes in the region.

However, recent events surrounding the breaking of the Covenant by the Garou have created ripples of uncertainty. Some princes may interpret this breach as a sign of a potential reevaluation of their loyalty and obligations. The shifting dynamics in Vancouver and the potential for power struggles among the princes may challenge Siegfried's authority.

Havens

Siegfried maintains multiple havens throughout Vancouver, but his favorite resides in the catacombs beneath the Vancouver General Hospital. This secluded and well-guarded haven offers both security and proximity to a vital location in the city, allowing him to stay informed and maintain control over important resources.

History

In life, Siegfried was a Visigoth chieftain at the age of 22 who played a pivotal role in defeating the Roman emperor's army and initiating the Germanic invasions. Impressed by Siegfried's vigor and intellect, a former Roman consul named Regulus offered him the gift of eternal life, turning him into a vampire. Initially unaware of the implications of his transformation, Siegfried later discovered his new nature and, consumed by rage and confusion, diablerized his sire. This act of Diablerie marked him as a criminal and subjected him to centuries of pursuit by the Roman Ventrue until he managed to gain formal recognition within his own Clan.

Disenchanted by the intricate web of Cainite politics, Siegfried chose a nomadic existence, rarely settling in one domain for long. During his travels, he encountered Hrothulf, a fellow member of the same Clan and barbarian heritage. At Hrothulf's urging, Siegfried decided to journey to England. In London, he witnessed the execution of the Tremere Marius Drake and his progeny Julie Foster. Moved by a sense of kinship, Siegfried intervened, saving Julie at the cost of being subjected to the Blood Hunt. Together, they fled across the Atlantic to the New World. Here, free from the machinations of other Kindred, Siegfried experienced a newfound sense of liberation. Wandering across the continent, he eventually settled in Granville, the future site of Vancouver.

Maintaining vigilance against the numerous Lupines (werewolves) in the area, Siegfried and his lover subtly influenced the local mortals, leading to the expansion of the small logging town into one of Canada's largest cities. Consequently, Siegfried perceives himself not only as the Prince of Vancouver but also as its founder, patriarch, and greatest benefactor. Initially welcoming all new Kindred, Siegfried soon realized that an excessive vampire presence would only invite conflict. When the first Anarchs arrived, bringing with them dissension and violence, Siegfried assumed the mantle of Prince in the 1940s. Declaring Vancouver neutral ground for all sects, he established stringent laws that consolidated political power in his hands while still adhering to the framework of the Traditions. Neither the Camarilla nor the Sabbat challenged him, recognizing the risks and costs associated with engaging in a conflict within Lupine territory.

During this period, Siegfried was saved from Final Death at the claws of the Lupines by Marcus Vitel, who claimed a Life Boon in return. Half a century later, Vitel would choose to embrace Misery, who had been groomed as Siegfried's childe. Despite this turn of events, she retained her training as a Ventrue until Vitel returned to claim her after her education was complete.

Siegfried's fame reached legendary proportions when he established the Covenant, a "peace treaty" between the local Kindred and the Lupines. Under the Covenant, the werewolves agreed to protect his domain from intruders and refrain from unprovoked violence against the vampires Siegfried pledged to shield. However, the Covenant was actually secured through coercion, as Siegfried held a sacred artifact of the werewolves hostage. His rule became so secure that he abolished most traditional positions of power within the domain, consolidating all authority in himself.

Maintaining the fragile peace was crucial to Siegfried's reputation. However, a minor rival, the Ventrue Stalest Coursain, conspired with the Lupine Shadow Lord known as Guttooth to incite conflict between the two factions. Additionally, Siegfried unknowingly encountered mages from the Syndicate, who had become corrupted by the Wyrm and collaborated with Pentex. The strain on the Covenant intensified in the late 1990s when a Glass Walker representative named Roger Daly was murdered by technocrats from the Syndicate, and a casino was constructed atop a dormant Pit, releasing several Banes into the world. The Covenant finally collapsed in 2023 during a casino robbery, as the Glass Walker tribe of werewolves successfully reclaimed their sacred fetish, the Rune of Gaia, which had been held hostage by Siegfried and his court for decades.

Siegfried's current whereabouts and status remain unknown, leaving a cloud of uncertainty over his fate.

« Remember the Titans » – Directed by Boaz Yakin - 2000

Remember the Titans is an American biographical sports film directed by Boaz Yakin in 2000 (who also directed Fresh) and written by Gregory Allen Howard (screenwriter, producer and ex-offensive lineman on his high school’s football team).

Remember the Titans tells the true story of highly acclaimed African-American football coach Herman Boone, newly recruited at T.C Williams High School (Suburban Virginia), in 1971, the year black students were integrated into “white only” schools. He started the year with a team composed of athletes that didn’t accept each other, with white students clearly not welcoming the new students onto the team. Little by little, coach Boone made them understand the absurdity of racial tensions and their need to work together if they wanted to win. He succeeded into creating a unified and winning high school football team, finishing the season with 13 wins and 0 losses.

I truly love this movie because it reminds me of my father, who played American football when he was young and always rented the movie when I came over to see him for the holidays. It was also the first time that I discovered Denzel Washington on screen and was amazed by his outstanding performance. Finally, I recommend Remember the Titans, because I feel like the message always hits harder when the screenplay is based on a true story. It also gives credit to coach Herman Boone, who died 4 years ago. Even if the movie came out 23 years ago, it is still today acclaimed as one of the best football movies ever created.

Remember the Titans will make you cry, laugh, think, and even want to play football.

Herman Ike Boone (October 28, 1935 – December 18, 2019) was a high school football coach, most famous for coaching the 1971 T. C. Williams High School football team to a 13–0 season, state championship, and national championship runner-up; the basis for Remember the Titans where he was portrayed by Denzel Washington.

In 1958, he accepted his first teaching and coaching position at the Luther H. Foster High School in Blackstone, Virginia, where he coached football, basketball, and baseball. His teams recorded twenty-six wins, six losses, and three district championships.

In 1961, he returned to his home state of NC to continue his coaching and teaching career. He accepted a coaching position at the E.J. Hayes High School in Williamston, NC. His football teams amassed a record of 99 wins and 8 losses in nine years. His 1966 football team was recognized by Scholastic Coach’s Magazine as “The Number One Football Team in America”. In 1969, he was fired from his position, informed by the Williamston school board that the town of Williamston “was not ready for a Black Head coach”.

Having integrated schools in 1965, the city of Alexandria, VA consolidated all high school students into T. C. Williams High School in 1971, the same year that he arrived to head coach the football program. After the Gettysburg camp where the team members got to know each other, President Richard Nixon sent an aide, Dr. Brown, to see this integrated football team that was beginning to catch national attention. In December 1971, Nixon was quoted as saying of the Titans that “the team saved the city of Alexandria”.

He retired from coaching and appeared as a public speaker at functions regarding his time as a coach. In 2016, he was awarded the Living Legends of Alexandria award for notable citizens of Alexandria. #africanhistory365 #African Excellence #omegapsiphi

Although he sat on the board of editors of the most important architecture magazine of the Netherlands of the postwar era he is basically unknown: Gert Boon (1921-2009). Together with e.g. Herman Hertzberger, Aldo van Eyck and Jaap Bakema he set the tone for Structuralism in the Netherlands but contrary to his peers never gained the same attention and renown. The present monograph by Hans Ibelings, published in 2013 by The Architecture Observer, is the first ever comprehensive publication bringing to the fore the few but wonderful realized and unrealized projects by this eccentric architect. As Ibelings explains he indeed was quite a character who with increasing age got ever more quirkier but who also didn’t seize the chance to use his editorship at the Forum magazine to promote his own work. Instead Boon was very reluctant to address or write about his own work. This notwithstanding he was able to realize some major projects during the 1960s, mostly housing schemes that show his preference for geometry and pattern based designs and which he often elaborated in colorful drawings on grid paper. In his later years Boon spent most of his time at his converted farmhouse in the Hooge Veluwe where he also installed an organ for which he designed a late-structuralist new casing and on which he loved to play Bach. This late project as well as most other built and unbuilt projects are included in the book, very thoroughly illustrated and, where possible, supplemented with contemporary photographs that show Boon’s buildings in their present state. In his introduction Ibelings also provides a highly readable biography of Boon that reveals quite some blank spaces with regards to his architectural oeuvre, especially during the years immediately following his graduation from ETH Zurich when he worked for Peppo Brivio.

Hans Ibelings’ meritorious publication is a stunning read that uncovers the striking yet largely forgotten work of an architect who unfortunately far too often stood in his own way. It’s high time for a rediscovery!
