source: European Graduate School 2015年11月17日 http://www.egs.edu/ Patrik Schumacher, Professor of Architecture presents "In defence of capitalism". A Public Open Lecture for the students and faculty of The European Graduate School / EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland, 2015.
Patrik Schumacher studied philosophy, mathematics, and architecture in Bonn, London, and Stuttgart, where he received his Diploma in Architecture in 1990. In 1999, he completed his PhD at the Institute for Cultural Science, Klagenfurt University. In 1996, he founded the "Design Research Laboratory" with Brett Steele at the Architectural Association in London and continues to teach in the program. Since 2000, Patrik Schumacher is also guest professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 2013, he was appointed as the first John Portman Chair in Architecture at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. In 2010 and 2012, he published the two volumes of his theoretical opus magnum The Autopoiesis of Architecture. In 2002, Patrik Schumacher curated Latent Utopias - Experiments within Contemporary Architecture, and he is currently planning the exhibition Parametricism – The New International Style.
In his much debated article Parametricism - A New Global Style for Architecture and Urban Design (2009), Patrik Schumacher argued that the global convergence in recent avant-garde architecture justifies the enunciation of a new style: Parametricism. The style is rooted in digital design techniques and takes full advantage of the computational revolution that drives contemporary civilization. Its latest refinements are based on advanced parametric design systems and scripting techniques. This style is poised to succeed modernism as a new epochal style for the twenty-first century. It thus closes the transitional period of uncertainty that was engendered by the crisis of modernism and that was marked by a series of short lived episodes including Postmodernism, Deconstructivism, and Minimalism. Thus, Schumacher argues that Parametricism is architecture's answer to the momentous technological and socio-economic transformation of world society brought about by the information age.
In his treatise The Autopoiesis of Architecture, Vol.1: A New Framework for Architecture (2010), Patrik Schumacher analyses architecture's key distinctions, concepts, values, styles, methods, and media. The book thus presents a comprehensive discourse analysis of discipline. The central thesis of "The Autopoiesis of Architecture" is that the phenomenon of architecture can be most adequately grasped if it is analyzed as an autonomous network (autopoietic system) of communications. The communications of architecture comprise drawings, texts, and built works. The built works of architecture constitute a special set of reference points within the overall network of architectural communications and serve society as communicative frames for social interaction.
In the second volume of his opus magnum, The Autopoiesis of Architecture, Vol.2: A New Agenda for Architecture, Schumacher proposes a new agenda for contemporary architecture in response to the challenges and opportunities posed by current societal and technological developments. The Volume ends with a manifesto for the new style of Parametricism, promoted as candidate to become the unified, epochal style for the twenty-first century. To be credible, a unified style must be backed up and guided by a unified theoretical system that is able to integrate many partial theories: a theory of architecture's societal function, a theory of the discipline's self-demarcation, a theory of the avant-garde, aesthetic theory, media theory, process theory, etc. The theory of architectural autopoiesis presents such an integrated theoretical system. It is nothing other than the rational reconstruction and systematization of a discursively evolving discipline made explicit as unified theory and opened up to criticism and constructive elaboration.

Ted Koppel stopped by Google NYC to discuss his new book "Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath"
About the book:
Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before.

Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer stops by the Googleplex for a conversation with Karen May, VP of People Development.
Too many leadership failures. Too many career derailments. Too many toxic workplaces filled with disengaged, distrustful employees. Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the author of Power, offers an incisive dissection of the multibillion-dollar leadership industry and presents ways to fix its many problems.
In Leadership BS, Jeffrey Pfeffer pulls back the curtain, showing how leadership really works and why so many leadership development efforts fail. In this forthright and persuasive critique, Pfeffer argues that much of the oft-repeated wisdom about leadership is based more on hope than reality, on wishes rather than data, on beliefs instead of science. In an age when transparency is considered a virtue, Pfeffer makes the case that strategic misrepresentation isn't as harmful as you think, that breached agreements are a part of business, that immodesty is frequently a path to success, and that relying on the magnanimity of your boss is a bad bet.
Using research findings from social psychology, sociology, and sociobiology, and filled with practical, actionable advice, Leadership BS encourages readers to finally stop accepting sugar-laced but toxic potions as cures and to understand the realities of organizations and human behavior.
To make real change, Pfeffer argues, we need to get beyond the half-truths and self-serving stories that are so prominent in the mythology of leadership. In calling BS on so much conventional wisdom, Leadership BS offers both a provocative, scientific examination of how leadership actually works—and how it doesn't—and a prescription for leaders future and present.

Calvin Klein is an award-winning fashion icon. He is recognized globally as a master of minimalism and has spent his career distilling things to their very essence. His name ranks among the best-known brands in the world, with Calvin Klein, Inc. reaching over seven billion dollars in global retail sales. Klein studied at the School of Art & Design and Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. After a short time working as a designer, in 1968, he launched Calvin Klein, Inc. with childhood friend, Barry Schwartz.
Whether in fashion, fragrance, beauty or his collections for the home, his work has been subtle, sophisticated and possesses a clarity that redefined modern living, and an American point of view. For him, the challenge is to create new things that fit a modern way of life. “It's about making people look and feel good about themselves and their homes,” he says.
The scope of Calvin Klein’s influence makes him unique among the world’s top designers. On the cutting edge of fashion with his Calvin Klein Collections for women, men, and the home, he reinvented many basic icons of modern dress. He pioneered designer jeans and redefined the idea of underwear and fragrance, making designer quality apparel affordable for virtually anyone; as well as revolutionizing the designer denim and underwear businesses with his overtly sexy advertising campaigns.
His advertising campaigns redefined the way products were marketed to consumers with Klein purchasing multiple ad pages in magazines. One of the most famous was his 1991 Calvin Klein Jeans supplement for Vanity Fair magazine, which totaled over 100 pages.
Time Magazine, in 1996, named Calvin Klein as one of the most influential Americans.
In 1973, Klein won the prestigious Coty American Fashion Critic’s Award, the fashion industry’s Oscar, and was the first designer to consecutively win again in 1974 and 1975. He was the youngest designer ever be elected into the Coty Hall of Fame in 1975.
Klein also received seven awards for outstanding design from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
Strikingly tall panes of glass rise from the sidewalk to the third floor at John Pawson’s celebrated Calvin Klein flagship store (1993–1995), fitted into a former bank in uptown Manhattan; interiors for CK stores were designed by Deborah Berke; and in two decades Calvin Klein Home has been a source of inspiration for interior and textile design.
Calvin Klein, Inc. was sold to Philips Van Heusen Corporation in 2003, and Klein remained a creative consultant with the company until 2006.
Klein has one daughter, Marci Klein, a television producer. He resides in New York City.

Writer and theatremaker Lucy Neal explores the role of the citizen artist in reinventing our world at a time of systemic change and uncertainty.
The planetary crises we currently face demand that we draw on the creativity and perspectives of everyone to create a future we want to live in. Can we rise to the challenge of creating a sustainable future, and what role can the ‘citizen artist’ play in bringing about that change?
Lucy Neal’s recently published handbook, Playing for Time-Making Art As If the World Mattered identifies collaborative arts practices emerging in response to ecological, social and fiscal challenges, to reclaim a traditional role for artists in the community as truth-tellers and agents of change. Reaching beyond the facts and figures of science and technology, Lucy looks at the intentions and accountabilities of the ‘citizen artist’ in reinventing our world at a time of systemic change and uncertainty.
A ‘transitional’ arts practice is described for the first time, emerging in neighbourhoods and on high streets, in apiaries and allotments, up mountains, in law courts, kitchens and village halls (and occasionally in theatres, galleries and museums).
Created by 64 artists and activists, Playing for Time is inspired by the grassroots Transition movement, modelling change in communities worldwide. Lucy explores the dynamics of an emerging arts practice, giving voice to a new narrative - the story of a people-led culture turning away from consumerism and commodity towards community and collaboration with imagination, humour, ingenuity and skill.

Pioneering thinker and visionary Charles Handy asks what the aims of an ideal future society would be.
Charles Handy CBE is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management have changed the way we view business, and his work on broader issues and trends has changed the way we view contemporary society. He now turns his formidable mind to our future.
Society is undergoing a wholescale revision - we are seeing dramatic changes in the way we live, work, educate our children, and govern ourselves. Technology has given us freedom, independence, and the means to do things ourselves, but do we need more to fully utilise our own potential? Is capitalism in its current iteration a sustainable system, and how long can we work with a society built on credit and an economy built on growth alone? Pioneering thinker Charles Handy visits the RSA to chart some of these changes, and offer some creative ways forward.

"Phishing for Phools" explores the central role of manipulation and deception in detail in many areas of our lives, explaining a paradox: why, at a time when we are better off than ever before, too many of people are leading lives of quiet desperation. At the same time, the book tells stories of individuals who have stood against economic trickery—and how it can be reduced through greater knowledge, reform, and regulation.
Robert J. Shiller is Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University, the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize, and the author of the New York Times bestseller "Irrational Exuberance".

"Film is a disease, when it infects your blood stream is takes over as the number one hormone, it plays Iago to your psyche, and as with heroin the antidote to film is more film." Frank Capra
14 Part documentary - A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies (1995).
Martin Scorsese is a master craftsman in the art of cinema with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Movies. It is a pleasure to hear his views on early American cinema where his love of the silverscreen was awakened and "coloured his dreams". I am sure he could talk of cinema from any country in the world just as intelligently and passionately.
