The history of Tacoma�s Theater District is nearly as long as that of the city of Tacoma itself; spanning from the opening of the Tacoma Theater in 1890 to the present day; with restored historical facilities anchoring a renewed cultural district. This telling of the district�s history reflects a range of engaging topics; including the boundless enthusiasm of the initial residents of Tacoma (the �City of Destiny�); the changing ways in which culture was shared and experienced over the decades of the 20th century; and a community working together through difficult times to save and restore historical buildings as gathering spaces for the benefit of future generations. The story is told through historical photographs of the theater venues themselves; as well as images capturing a myriad of cultural and community events taking place in those facilities and in the surrounding district.

Insights of Place Psychology written with simplicity and depthBy Brit Lit/Brit Flick FanAs a design consultant who integrates Architectural Psychology into my work. I am always on the lookout for new information. Sally Augustin gives us a distillation of the best of environmental psychology. And she writes clearly and fluidly - no dense jargon-laden prose or dry statistical-ese.Augustin bridges the communication gap between social scientists and the design community. Although technically a text/reference book it is organized and written so well. that even a non-designer can learn from these pages. This is real science made accessible. not pop-psych.The organizing concepts Augustin uses are places for: comforting. communicating. complying. challenging and continuing.I was especially delighted by the chapter on Personality and Place - new information to help create spaces for people and their many personality needs/preference. This will add a new depth of knowledge to my work with clients.I will be referring to this book again and again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
