BMW TOWER

BMW TOWER Tube. Duration : 1.13 Mins.

The VIELLIARD&FASCIANI architects are devising a revolutionary building concept for the most famous brands in the world: Brandsbuilding This concept offers the prominence of a landmark: a building which integrates the identity of a brand into its design, while forming the design of its logo when seen from the sky. The potential is enormous: the first clients will shape their own legend. "Architecture has aspired to be universal ever since ancient times. This concept transcends the brand and takes it as close as possible to this universality, and most probably to a level of fame that has never been reached. The values of durability and longevity, embodied by the architecture, consolidate the brand image of the company, its stature and its permanence, and establish the brand in an international cultural dimension. But what is more, these buildings will leave spectacular marks within our increasingly dense and iconoclastic megacities. Seen from the sky, they will mark a plot of the Earth." www.vielliardfasciani.com brandsbuilding.com

Authors@Google Presents David Sirota: Back to Our Future

Authors@Google Presents David Sirota: Back to Our Future Tube. Duration : 80.75 Mins.

Wall Street scandals. Fights over taxes. Racial resentments. A Lakers-Celtics championship. The Karate Kid topping the box-office charts. Bon Jovi touring the country. These words could describe our current moment—or the vaunted iconography of three decades past. In this wide-ranging and wickedly entertaining book, New York Times bestselling journalist David Sirota takes readers on a rollicking DeLorean ride back in time to reveal how so many of our present-day conflicts are rooted in the larger-than-life pop culture of the 1980s—from the "Greed is good" ethos of Gordon Gekko (and Bernie Madoff) to the "Make my day" foreign policy of Ronald Reagan (and George W. Bush) to the "transcendence" of Cliff Huxtable (and Barack Obama). Today's mindless militarism and hypernarcissism, Sirota argues, first became the norm when an '80s generation weaned on Rambo one-liners and "Just Do It" exhortations embraced a new religion—with comic books, cartoons, sneaker commercials, videogames, and even children's toys serving as the key instruments of cultural indoctrination. Meanwhile, in productions such as Back to the Future, Family Ties, and The Big Chill, a campaign was launched to reimagine the 1950s as America's lost golden age and vilify the 1960s as the source of all our troubles. That 1980s revisionism, Sirota shows, still rages today, with Barack Obama cast as the 60s hippie being assailed by Alex P. Keaton--esque Republicans who long for a return to Eisenhower-era conservatism ...
