Letters reveal that the 19th-century pioneer’s radical approach to healthcare was inspired by a strict family regime

She was the 19th-century pioneer of modern nursing, dubbed the “lady with the lamp” for her continuous care of wounded soldiers in the Crimean war. In an earlier age of contagion, she was far ahead of her time in realising that cleanliness, fresh air and open-air exercise helped patients recover from injury and disease.
Now a previously unpublished letter that Florence Nightingale received as a teenager from her father reveals that he was a major inspiration in shaping her radical approach to a healthy mind and body.
In 1835, William Nightingale wrote to his daughter setting out a strict regime for keeping fit: “Exercise for 10 minutes every day before breakfast. Before you dress do the exercise of the arms 20 times. In the course of the day 20 minutes’ exercise must be done and if not well done 10 minutes more. Run down to the gate before breakfast by the road … Every day you must be an hour out of doors before dinner unless you have permission to do otherwise.”

#Information_Design in Public Transportation — Part I
▻https://medium.com/goodpatch-europe/information-design-in-public-transportation-part-i-58e3c9218d9e?ref=heydesig
In the past centuries, cartographers — the true pioneers of information design — mapped out the world with all the intricate details they discovered. Of course, not everything could be unearthed at once, so there was often leftover spots on the paper for the great unknown. These white spaces were then covered by fantasy illustrations like sea monsters or imaginary islands in order to fill out the lacking pieces of information.
Today it’s almost the opposite. There’s almost too much information and it has become about reducing complexity. It is overwhelming to see the amount of data we absorb every day, most of it subconsciously seeping into our brains. This overload became apparent early on and almost instantly gave way to the discipline of Information Design, which emerged in the 1970s and reflects a science of presenting #information in a way that fosters efficient and effective understanding of it.

This film uses diagrams to illustrate the importance of salvaging common everyday items in an effort to reuse important raw materials for building ships. The film asserts that one day’s salvage by the whole British people counteracts the loss of one ship. An emphasis is put on “The importance of salvage to the flow of goods; [and] various examples of useful materials commonly thrown away.” (War Films Bulletin of the Extension Division Indiana University, February, 1943, 10.)

XIII. Internationales Bauhaus-Kolloquium — Dust and Data
▻http://www.bauhaus-kolloquium.de
Bauhaus Colloquium
The International Bauhaus Colloquium is one of the oldest and renowned conferences on questions of theory and history of architecture. The Colloquium was first held in Weimar in 1976 to celebrate the restoration of the derelict Bauhaus building in Dessau and discuss the legacy of the school, and was staged every three or four years thereafter. The invitation of international guests to the GDR (East Germany) marked not only the relative openness of the start of the meltdown years of the Soviet bloc but also an important shift in the reception of Bauhaus history, a legacy previously ignored in East Germany as too individualistic. Each of the meetings in Weimar brought together scholars, theorists, artists, architects and former students from both the East and the West. Given the political climate, presentations necessarily tested the limits of political speech and laid the foundation for an imagined, and indeed fragmented, collection constrained by geopolitical and ideological divisions. The discussion was conditioned by the different ideological positions and offered divergent readings of the school in a conference room that has become one of the heated, if tamed, arenas for Cold-War encounter. It was only when the Iron Curtain was fully drawn aside that a set of historical black boxes, locked up in state and private archives, was opened, allowing for new light to be shed on the period and the ideological colouring of the divergent stories. The conference has become one of the most important institutional events in the international academic landscape – an important site of academic experimentation and reflection upon not only the history of the Bauhaus but also that of modernism, within which it is situated.

“The book itself is a diagram of clarification, containing hundreds of examples of work by those who favor the communication of information over style and academic postulation—and those who don’t. Many blurbs such as this are written without a thorough reading of the book. Not so in this case. I read it and love it. I suggest you do the same.“ —Richard Saul Wurman
“This handsome, clearly organized book is itself a prime example of the effective presentation of complex visual information.” —eg magazine
“It is a dream book, we were waiting for…on the field of information. On top of the incredible amount of presented knowledge this is also a beautifully designed piece, very easy to follow…” —Krzysztof Lenk, author of Mapping Websites: Digital Media Design
“Making complicated information understandable is becoming the crucial task facing designers in the 21st century. With Designing Information, Joel Katz has created what will surely be an indispensable textbook on the subject.”—Michael Bierut
“Having had the pleasure of a sneak preview, I can only say that this is a magnificent achievement: a combination of intelligent text, fascinating insights and - oh yes - graphics. Congratulations to Joel.”—Judith Harris, author of Pompeii Awakened: A Story of Rediscovery
Designing Information shows designers in all fields - from user-interface design to architecture and engineering - how to design complex data and information for meaning, relevance, and clarity. Written by a worldwide authority on the visualization of complex information, this full-color, heavily illustrated guide provides real-life problems and examples as well as hypothetical and historical examples, demonstrating the conceptual and pragmatic aspects of human factors-driven information design. Both successful and failed design examples are included to help readers understand the principles under discussion.

Turning numbers into pictures that tell important stories and reveal the meaning held within is an essential part of what it means to be a scientist. This is as true in today’s era of genome sequencing and climate models as it was in the 19th century.
Beautiful Science explores how our understanding of ourselves and our planet has evolved alongside our ability to represent, graph and map the mass data of the time.
From John Snow’s plotting of the 1854 London cholera infections on a map to colourful depictions of the tree of life, discover how picturing scientific data provides new insight into our lives.

Filmische Praxis war am Bauhaus ein Teil des Lehrkonzeptes einer „Wissenschaft des Sehens“. Kunst und Technik sollten eine neue Einheit bilden. Film, als technisches Medium par excellence, war wichtiges Element dieser Programmatik. Die erstmals in dieser Edition zusammengestellten filmischen Arbeiten des Bauhauses zur Medienkunst eröffnen einen Einblick in das Spektrum der verschiedenen Kunstgattungen, die am Bauhaus gelehrt und praktiziert wurden und sich gegenseitig be-einflussten. In den ausgewählten Arbeiten von Heinrich Brocksieper, Werner Graeff, Kurt Kranz und Kurt Schwerdtfeger werden Malerei, Zeichnung, Grafik und Installation durch das Medium Film zusätzlich dynamisiert. Inspiriert durch die abstrakten Filme von Hans Richter und Viking Eggeling entwickelten Bauhäusler die moderne Formensprache in medienkünstlerischen Experimenten weiter.
Mit Filmen von Heinrich Brocksieper, Viking Eggeling, Werner Graeff, Kurt Kranz, Hans Richter und Kurt Schwerdtfeger.

War Otto Neurath ein englischer Roma? « formweh
Das Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Wien schickt mir Presseinformationen zu einer Ausstellung über den Wiener Sozialisten, Universalgelehrten und Pionier der visuellen Kommunikation Otto Neurath. Warum der Titel der Ausstellung Gypsy Urbanism lautet, wird dem unbedarften Leser nicht deutlich. War Neurath etwa ein englischer Roma? Des Rätsels Lösung: Die Ausstellung geht auf eine amerikanische Dissertation zurück, deren aus dem Deutschen übersetzten Titel man übernahm, eine Rolle rückwärts, mit der ein spannendes Projekt unnötigerweise in den Ruch modischen Sprachfremdelns gerät.

Eine Ausstellung im Victoria & Albert Museum widmet sich der internationalen Bildsprache „Isotype“ und ihrem Wiener Erfinder Otto Neurath
Einen Koloss nannten ihn Zeitgenossen, aber keinen sanften Riesen. Barsch soll der Mann seine Gedanken mitunter ausgebreitet haben. Wenngleich mit der zwingenden Logik des Philosophen und Ökonomen - hinter dessen rigoroser Art schnell der sensible Menschenfreund spürbar wurde.
Otto Neurath | Pictorial Statistics
▻http://www.neha.nl/neurath/archives.php
There are five institutes with holdings pertaining to Otto Neurath’s pictorial statistics. These are the Österreichisches Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum (ÖGWM) and the Institute Vienna Circle/IVC (both in Vienna, Austria), the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, The International Institute of Social History (nederlandsch Economisch-Historisch Archief) and the Vienna Circle Foundation, Haarlem, and the Isotype Collection at the University of Reading.
Original material at the IVC, consists of 10 exhibition charts produced by the Mundaneum Wien between 1929 and 1933. The charts and his Arbeitsbibliothek were donated to the IVC by Otto’s son, Paul Neurath. The ÖGWM in Vienna, the successor to Otto Neurath’s original GWM, was established in 1945, with its old name Verein Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum. The ÖGWM’s holdings of primary materials are limited in scope and accessibility. They comprise some original charts, books in first editions, papers, leaflets, and brochures. Not incorporated in the library but held separately, these materials are stored, without classification, cataloguing or systematic listings [source: Hadwig Kraeutler, Otto Neurath.

▻http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/dda1cb5c-f4c0-11e2-a62e-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2h8IuohYC
Edward Tufte is the guru of graphics, the high priest of presentation. For more than 30 years he has been showing us how to visualise data with simplicity, clarity and elegance, while campaigning against “chartjunk” and other design practices that lead to obfuscation.
▻http://im.ft-static.com/content/images/b5631804-f4d3-11e2-a62e-00144feabdc0.img
Tufte, 71, was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up in Beverly Hills, California. He started his academic career as a political scientist at Princeton University and moved seriously into data visualisation in 1975. He was prompted by a request to teach a statistics course; the low standard of statistical graphics available in the literature made him realise that he could do better himself.

a visual method for mapping controversies
By profgillian
Albena Yaneva has developed an interesting tool for mapping – literally, visually – controversies surrounding proposals for specific building designs. It’s available on the Mapping Controversies website, together with some examples of student projects that have used it. The tool shows links between different actors in a controversy, and how those links develop over time.
