The Graham Foundation is fortunate to own and occupy the Madlener House, a turn-of-the-century residence by architects Richard Schmidt (1866–1959) and Hugh Garden (1873–1961).
The House was sensitively restored for the Foundation by Daniel Brenner (1917–1977) in 1963–64, and presently contains the Foundation’s offices, exhibition space, lecture hall, and a permanent exhibition of architectural fragments from the work of Louis H. Sullivan, his mentor John H. Edleman, and his disciples Frank Lloyd Wright and George Grant Elmslie.
"Langen Foundation near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany is a museum designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The foundation showcases a collection of Oriental Art and Modern Art.
The museum was created on grounds which used to be a NATO rocket base. The building has double-skin volume and two half-buried temporary exhibition wings with a total area of 900 m²; the structure mainly consists of reinforced concrete, glass and steel. The museum offers three exhibition spaces totaling an area of 1,300 square meters. Situated within the ground-level concrete slab is the so-called Japan Room – an unusually long and narrow gallery conceptualized by Ando as a space of “tranquillity” especially for the Japanese segment of the Langen Collection. The two subterranean exhibition rooms, with a ceiling height of a surprising eight meters, were in turn designed to accommodate the modern part of the collection. The museum opened to the public in 2004."

ift.tt/2jWT7yA It's quite common for homeowners to share battle stories regarding what went wrong with their foundation repairs. Here, we share some of the common misconceptions otherwise known as myths, and debunk them using our professional advice. Unfortunately, many homeowners find themselves accepting advice from homeowners with "experience" rather than a trained professional with real experience. While there are many differing opinions regarding how to repair a foundation and which solution is most effective, the below realities are dreamt-up or contrived. These realities are proven fact that we hope will provide a better understanding about foundation repair. Below we investigate proposed myths about concrete block and poured concrete foundations, epoxies and polyurethane sealants, and long lasting foundation replacements. Need more information or have a few questions about something you've heard or seen regarding foundation repair? Continue reading to find who you can contact for the answers to your questions. MYTH: A foundation made from concrete block is inherently weaker and more likely to crack and settle than one made of poured concrete. REALITY: The type of foundation isn't as important as other factors, such as soil conditions at the site, the condition of the footing that supports the wall, and how well the wall was reinforced during construction. Drainage details will also factor-in on how well any foundation wall resists soil and water pressure. When properly constructed, a concrete block foundation is no more likely to sustain damage than a poured concrete foundation. MYTH: Hi-tech epoxies and polyurethane sealants have made it much easier to permanently repair foundation cracks. REALITY: Modern epoxy and polyurethane sealants designed for masonry repairs do an excellent job of sealing foundation cracks. Because they're highly adhesive, strong and flexible, these products usually work more effectively than old-fashioned mortar-based patching compounds. However, there's an important caveat to consider when repairing a cracked foundation. If the conditions that caused the crack aren't addressed, further foundation damage is very likely to occur. For example, if a concrete slab cracks because of soil settlement, repairing the crack treats the symptom rather than the problem. Additional cracking will occur as soil settlement continues. To make a permanent repair, a foundation specialist may determine that steel piers should be driven beneath the slab, connecting it to sound load-bearing soil at greater depth. MYTH: Replacing a damaged foundation with a new foundation is a more long-lasting solution than repairing a damaged foundation. REALITY: This is a common misconception that needlessly costs homeowners huge amounts of money. Concrete gains strength as it ages, so an existing concrete foundation will be stronger than a new concrete foundation. An experienced foundation repair specialist will be able to determine what caused the foundation damage, and then correct the problem using engineered foundation repair products like steel piers and wall anchors. When these products are installed, foundation elements (footings, slabs, walls, concrete stairs, etc.) that have shifted, cracked or settled can usually be jacked back into their original positions. The end result is a permanent repair that's completed more quickly and much more economically than a total replacement job.

I feel like a real grown-up when I wear my Polish-made winter boots. Kids will wear the same pair of Nikes in all weather and all seasons. Grown-ups have a good pair of boots in the closet because we know better: boots keep your feet dry and they insulate against the cold. Which is key to staying outside in freezing weather all day long in toasty comfort.
"Warm feet = warm body, kid," I would have said to Teen Andy.
The teen edition of me would have laughed and scoffed and jeered and headed for Central Park in his sneakers. Then he would have scampered back inside after an hour, wondering how come the heavy coat and the gloves and the hat weren't doing their job.
Adult Andy is wise and kind but he's still immature enough that he'd be kind of a jerk towards Teen Andy. "Leaving so soon?" I'd say. "Gosh, I'm staying out a few more hours because I'm still nice and warm! Plus, I'm going to be drinking alcohol, which i can legally purchase and consume!"
(Advice to teens: don't scoff at your elders. We're SO much better at cultivating grudges than you guys are.)
These boots also represent one of the best consumer experiences of my life. I got 'em a little more than ten years ago, during a week I spent in Anchorage, Alaska. It was shortly before tourist season, which meant that every store was stocked to the gills and every employee was pretty desperate to talk to new faces.
So when I strolled into the 3rd Avenue Army Navy Store and announced that I needed a good pair of winter boots (I'd been looking back in Boston, but every pair was identical to every other pair at every other store) they treated me like Sinatra.
I recall just sort of sitting in place while three people spent a half an hour fetching boots of every conceivable style, in a range of sizes and widths. At one point there was also a bit of an inter-clerk argument over what constituted a "city" boot. The Alpha Clerk made the winning argument that as a suburban dweller, I'd probably be encountering enough mud and rocks that a "light hiking" boot would probably make more sense in the long run.
I mean, it was a whole (wonderful) production. They even broke open a new pair of hunting socks for me to put on...they noted that the pair I had on were rather thin and thus might throw off the fit.
A half an hour later, I walked out of there wearing precisely the sort of boots I wanted, in exactly the right size. To this day, they're still just about the most comfortable shoes I own. Ten years of wear certainly helps.
After the completion of the largest concrete pours of the first stage of construction, the foundation of the Mukilteo Multimodal Terminal starts to take shape. The foundation will provide support to the passenger building, overhead loading facilities, and the vehicle transfer span.

The Barnes Revises Attributions of Old Masters
By JULIA M. KLEIN
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26 - A review of the vast collection and archives of the Barnes Foundation is upending attributions of some of its old master paintings and revealing new details of its founder's relationships with painters, collectors and other artistic luminaries of the 20th century, administrators say.
Among the 22 paintings whose attributions are changing in a continuing assessment project, now four years old, are works formerly credited to El Greco, Rubens, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Giorgione and Bosch.
"I don't think any of it was shocking or surprising," said Emily Croll, the Barnes Foundation's senior administrative officer, who has headed the project at the foundation, in suburban Merion, Pa. "For decades people have been saying some of our old masters weren't what we said they were."
Lending momentum to such stock-taking is an eight-month-old court ruling clearing the way for the financially troubled Barnes to relocate to Philadelphia, where it is expected to draw far bigger crowds. Students affiliated with the Barnes had challenged the move, saying it would violate the terms under which the patent-medicine magnate Albert C. Barnes founded the institution in 1922.
Although a study of the foundation's large holdings of Matisse and Renoir is under way, said Joseph J. Rishel, a senior curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art who is chairman of the assessment committee, none of the 19th- or 20th-century works for which the Barnes is renowned are likely to be reattributed.
"These are very published, very exposed paintings," Mr. Rishel said of the collection's Renoirs, Cézannes, Matisses and Picassos. "When purchased, they were some of the most famous things of their kind."
The de-attributions of old master works were reported on Sunday by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
In an interview with The New York Times, Larry Silver, professor of art history at the University of Pennsylvania, said he had known for years that "The Temptation of St. Anthony" ascribed to Bosch (circa 1450-1516) in the Barnes collection was a copy, in part because he has seen the original twice in Lisbon and again at an exhibition in Washington.
Mr. Silver, one of 39 consultants involved in reassessing works owned by the Barnes, said the mid-16th- century copy represents only an excerpt of the original canvas and lacks Bosch's "handling - the way he uses paint in thin, rather loosely brushed layers, and his color harmonies, which are much more delicate in undoubted originals."
On the other hand, Mr. Silver said, his review confirmed the authenticity of other Northern European paintings in the collection, including "a spectacular example" of a late portrait by the 17th-century artist Frans Hals ("Portrait of a Man Holding a Watch") and "The Square Watch-Tower," a landscape by Jan van Goyen that the professor said would be the envy of many museums. The assessment project, which also includes the organization and preservation of the archives, digitizing files and images from the collection, and conservation assessment, is intended to remedy what Ms. Croll described as "80 years" of benign neglect since the foundation was established.
Conservation assessment at the Barnes over the last several years has turned up an array of problems, including Pueblo ceramics in the gallery with "inactive mold," moth-eaten Navajo rugs at the Barnes's Ker-Feal estate in Chester Springs, Pa., and a need for stabilization of paintings and especially works on paper. "We're stopping the damage," said Barbara Buckley, the foundation's chief conservator.
As for authorship, Ms. Croll said, "reattributions are something that every museum does constantly, and we haven't had the opportunity to do it officially till very recently," she said.
Among the other reattributed works are "The Disrobing of Christ" (now considered "School of El Greco") and an "Annunciation" (described as a "possibly 17th-century" copy of an El Greco); "The Holy Family With St. John and an Angel" (ascribed to the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens); "Christ and the Woman of Samaria" (ascribed to a follower of Tintoretto), and "Portrait of a Gentleman and Son" (credited now to an "unidentified artist, Brescian School" rather than Titian).
Ms. Croll said the project has also helped the foundation identify previously unidentified works, confirm the authenticity of others and establish the quality of some of its less-well-known collections of objects. For example, Edwin L. Wade, senior vice president of the Museum of Northern Arizona, described the Barnes's Navajo jewelry as "one of the finest holdings of its kind in the United States."
The Barnes Foundation is celebrated internationally for its multibillion-dollar collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early modern masterpieces. Most hang in ensembles assembled by Barnes himself in his galleries, with sculpture, textiles, ironwork and decorative arts objects.
The move to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in downtown Philadelphia will allow the Barnes to expand its visiting hours and facilities. Rebecca W. Rimel, president and chief executive of the Pew Charitable Trusts, said yesterday that more than $110 million had been pledged toward a $150 million fund-raising goal to pay for the move and an endowment. The Pew is spearheading the drive with the Annenberg and Lenfest Foundations.
Ms. Rimel said that she was hopeful that a new Barnes could open on the parkway by late 2008. "If we beat that, that would be great," she said. The search for an architect has not yet begun, she added.
Ms. Rimel also said that the Barnes board of trustees had named the search firm of Russell Reynolds Associates to find a replacement for Kimberly Camp, the former Barnes president and chief executive who resigned in June. That search should be completed in about four months, Ms. Rimel said.
Mr. Rishel said the assessment project, which has been supported by more than $2.1 million from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, $1 million from Pew and other grants, had yielded significant new information about Barnes's collecting habits. The archives are "a treasure trove," he said. "It's a whole level of documentation that was not known before."
"What's most fascinating is Barnes's own take on what he did and didn't buy," Mr. Rishel said. "Even then, it was clear how shrewd he was in his choices, and how he did have a very broad number of choices. He was a very famous collector and a very rich man. The world's greatest collectors spread a great bounty of temptations before him."
Katy Rawdon-Faucett, the foundation's archivist, said that among "the things that really make me say wow" was correspondence in the 1930's and 40's between Barnes and the American landscape artist Georgia O'Keeffe. "It's really a back and forth between two people who knew each other and had some kind of connection and understanding," Ms. Rawdon-Faucett said.
In a letter dated March 21, 1930, Barnes, who had purchased two paintings from O'Keeffe that he called "Still Life" and "Indian Girl," praises them as "authentic expressions of yourself and therefore, genuine art." But he adds, "Like every other new arrival in our gallery, they will survive or die on what they have in themselves." Ms. Rawdon-Faucett said Barnes later returned the two paintings with apologies, and although O'Keeffe expressed disappointment, their friendship continued.
In a July 17, 1914, letter to Leo Stein, the art collector and brother of the writer Gertrude Stein, Barnes tries to explain his fascination with Renoir, which has mystified some contemporary critics.
"Renoir has been to me the most all-satisfying of any man's work I know," Barnes writes. "Perhaps the thing that most interests me in Renoir, that most strikes a personal response is, what seems to me, his joy in painting the real life of red-blooded people, and his skill in conveying his sensations to my consciousness."
Ms. Rawdon-Faucett said that as far as she knew, that material had not previously been published.
She said that when she first entered the storage room in the Barnes administration building that housed much of the archives, "it was basically like the attic of an old house," with filing cabinets, boxes and other material in disarray.
Along with Barnes's letters and writings, she said, the archives contain blueprints and drawings of foundation buildings and the arboretum, photographs and institutional records, including deeds for the land dating back to the 18th century.
