Mind Topography: You are invited to develop a museum with a total surface area of 500 m2, located outside the walled area. Considering less successful examples in this field, whose desire for protagonism competes with the preexisting architecture, the competition seeks to favour contemporary languages capable of dialoguing with the landscape and the prehispanic legacy in a discreet way, bearing in mind topography.
Can become deadly instruments for the prevention of thought. They can keep attention on the trivial and the transient. They can habituate people to passivity in the face of great needs and great issues. They can destroy the leisure and peace and freedom from distraction out of which the exceptional mind is born. They can debase the mind stuff of the people—which is the soil of greatness and achievement. Our generation is the first that has ever allowed the child's mind, even the preschool child's mind, to be commercialized as it is now through radio and TV, which reach into the home. [109, p. 25, 1956]
RHINE, rin, Joseph Banks, American psychologist : b. Waterloo, Pa., Sept. 29, 1895. After receiving a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1925 he studied at Harvard and Duke universities, and taught psychology at Duke, 1928-1940, when he became director of the parapsychology laboratory there. Through numerous pioneer experiments in extrasensory perception (ESP) he has reported evidence of the projection of thoughts from one person to another wtihout physical intermediation, thus offering a scientific basis for popular ideas of telepathy or mind reading. Editor of the Journal of Parapsychology, he has written widely on this new field of psychical research, his works including Extra-Sensory Perception (1934) ; New Frontiers of the Mind (1937) ; The Reach of the Mind (1947) ; New World of the Mind (1953).
