简介: Frank Lloyd Wright is America's greatest-ever architect. However, few people know about the Welsh roots that shaped his life and world-famous buildings. Now, leading Welsh architect Jonathan Adams sets off across America to explore Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces for himself. Along the way, he uncovers the tempestuous life story of the man behind them and the significance of his radical family background. In a career spanning seven decades, Frank Lloyd Wright built over 500 buildings, and changed the face of modern architecture: Fallingwater, the house over the waterfall, has been called the greatest house of the 20th century the spiralling Guggenheim Museum in New York reinvented the art museum the concrete Unity Temple was the first truly modern building in the world. But the underlying philosophy that links all Wright's buildings is as important as anything he built. Those ideas were rooted in the Unitarian religion of Frank Lloyd Wright's mother. Anna Lloyd Jones was born and raised near Llandysul in west Wales and migrated to America with her family in 1844, most likely to escape religious persecution. Her son, Frank, was raised in a Unitarian community in Wisconsin, a small piece of Wales in America. The values he absorbed there were based on the sanctity of nature, the importance of hard work, and the need to question convention and defy it where necessary. Wright's architecture was shaped by, and expressed, these beliefs. Frank Lloyd Wright set out to create a new American architecture for a new country. He built his own lifelong home in the valley he was raised in, and he named it after an ancient Welsh bard called Taliesin. It was the scene of many adventures - and a horrific crime. In 1914, a servant at Taliesin ran amok and killed seven people including Wright's partner, Mamah Cheney, and her two young children. Wright rebuilt his home and went on to marry a Montenegrin woman, Olgivanna Milanoff, some 30 years younger than him. It was Olgivanna who struck upon the idea that saved Wright's career after the Wall Street Crash and personal scandal laid it low. She decided that her husband should take on apprentices and that the apprentices should pay for the privilege. The Taliesin Fellowship had a hands-on approach, with apprentices often building extensions to Wright's own houses, labouring and cooking for him. Somehow it worked, lasting for decades and nurturing hundreds of young talents. Frank Lloyd Wright died in 1959 aged 91 while working on his final masterpiece, New York's incomparable Guggenheim Museum. He had been born in the wake of the American civil war, the son of a pioneer, and died a television celebrity, in the space age. He is buried in the shadow of Taliesin, alongside his Welsh ancestors. A 150 years after his birth, Jonathan Adams argues that Frank Lloyd Wright is now a vitally important figure who can teach us how to build for a better world. Wright believed in what he called organic architecture buildings that grace the landscape, express an idea of how to live and respond to individual needs. This bespoke approach - a philosophy, not a style - puts him at the heart of modern architectural thinking.

简介: 该剧由J.J. Abrams挂名制片,《危机边缘》(Fringe)制片人J.H. Wyman监制,Bad Robot公司出品。该剧被描述为一部「动作戏和兄弟情为主的警匪剧」,故事发生在距今35年之后的近未来时代。此时拥有高度人工智能的人形机器人已经出现,所有的洛杉矶警署侦探都分配了一名人形机器人搭档。他们既要调查与人类有关的案件,也要调查与机器人有关的案件。但在许多情况下,人类案件和机器人案件是混杂在一起的。 2048年,人类社会已经进化到一个新的高度。 来见见John Kennex(Karl Urban)——一起有史以来最恐怖的针对警察部门的袭击事件中的幸存者。在昏迷了17个月之后,他终于醒来,但对当时发生的事情却记忆模糊。他的搭档在那次事件中不幸丧生,他的女友Anna Moore(Mekia Cox)已经离他而去。他失去了一条腿,医生给他安上一条高度精巧的人造仿生腿。 John情绪低落,精神萎靡,严重的创伤后强迫综合症和应激障碍症不停折磨着他,而且他对自己身上的「仿生部件」充满排斥感。尽管如此,他还是在警队队长Sandra Malconado(Lili Taylor)的请求下返回了工作岗位。Sandra是他相识最久也最忠诚的一个朋友,他知道她绝不会害他。 根据上级的命令,现在每一个警察都必须与一名机器人组成搭档。尽管John对机器人强烈厌恶,但还是被安排了一名机器搭档——刚刚下线准备投入战斗的MX-43型机器战警。当这位机器同事发现John隐藏着某种犯罪证据后,John毫不留情地「终结」了他(相关情节参考预告片)。于是实验室技术员Rudy Lom(Mackenzie Crook)给他介绍了一位新的机器同伴:Dorian(Michael Ealy)。因为Dorian产生了出人意料的「情感反应」,警队停止了他执行任务的资格,将他召回实验室进行仔细检查。尽管这些「情感反应」看起来只不过是Dorian中枢系统出了错误,但正是这些「错误」让John对Dorian产生了共鸣。毕竟,John现在是「部分机器人」,而Dorian是「部分人类」。John和Dorian的相互理解不仅让他们在工作中形成互补,而且在某种程度上将他们「联系」在一起。 在适应新搭档的同时,John还必须学会与新同事相处——其中包括急于成名的Valerie Stahl侦探(Minka Kelly)和总是疑神疑鬼的Richard Paul侦探(Michael Irby)。Richard坚称John该为当年那次导致多名警官殉职的灾难性任务负责,他当然不欢迎John重新加入警队。 该剧是一部单元元素和连续元素并存的剧集(近年来几乎所有的J.J. Abrams挂名剧集都如此)——John和Dorian每集都将在充满未来色彩的都市中处理特定的案件,但当年那起事件的真相对John来说始终是个谜,John围绕这起神秘事件展开的调查及与之相关的故事将推动主线剧情的发展。 该剧的其他制片人大多来自《危机边缘》剧组,多数编剧也是Bad Robot公司的「御用编剧」(参与了《危机边缘》、《疑犯追踪》、《革命》等剧的创作)。J.J. Abrams曾在一次访谈中称该剧具有《银翼杀手》的味道。

简介: 本剧同样由《Friday Night Lights》的一位制片人打造,用来接替NBC播出了15年之久的人气长剧《急诊室的故事》(ER)。NBC介绍说,这是一部「非常新颖」的医疗剧,不仅情节和气氛紧张,而且「真实性」也非常强。该剧描述了医疗行业中最危险的一类职业--第一急救员。你在美国的影视作品中经常可以看到这类场景:当有人遭受重大人身伤害(比如中枪)时,急救车很快便风驰电掣地赶到,从车上跳下几个人,有的拿医疗箱,有的抬担架,有的负责检查伤者、做人工呼吸、打强心针,等等。这些人就被称作「第一急救员」。 每当有紧急情况出现,无论伤者在陆上,在水上,还是在空中,无论要爬上环美金字塔中心(Transamerica Pyramid)那高高的楼顶,还是要潜入旧金山湾那漆黑的海底,旧金山中心医院急救小组总是在第一时间赶到现场。不管周遭的环境有多么险恶,形势有多么复杂,治病救人始终是他们的首要任务。 对这群可歌可敬的英雄来说,生活永远充满了挑战。
