DOC_110505_01.JPG: Courtney's coral reef installation in Science, lauded by NOAA Administrator posted by Heather Leslie June 23, 2011 Courtney Mattison's thesis project was featured in the News section of Science magazine earlier this spring (pdf, p. 4). Mattison, a master's candidate in environmental studies with an ecology and arts background and member of the Leslie Lab, created a ceramic wall installation modeling a Pacific coral reef for her Masters thesis. During remarks at the opening of the installation at the NOAA headquarters on Monday, April 18th, NOAA Administrator Dr. Jane Lubchenco lauded Courtney for her evocative and biologically realistic creation, and noted the importance of such art-science projects for communicating the value of healthy oceans to the public. Her coral reef installation also has caught the attention of the AP, The Boston Globe, The Providence Journal, and Brown News. Support from Brown's Center for Environmental Studies, RISD Ceramics and NOAA's Office of Education were critical to the creation of this project. The project, titled Our Changing Seas: A Coral Reef Story, is on view in the lobby of the Herbert Hoover Building, headquarters of the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, through mid July. For more on Courtney's work, please see her website. The above was from http://blogs.brown.edu/leslie-lab/2011/06/23/courtneys-coral-reef-installation-in-science-lauded-by-noaa-administrator/

Wikipedia Description: Herbert C. Hoover Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Herbert C. Hoover Building is the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the United States Department of Commerce.

The building is located at 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, on the block bounded by Constitution Avenue NW to the south, Pennsylvania Avenue NW to the north, 15th Street NW to the west, and 14th Street NW to the east. It is located in the Federal Triangle, east of President's Park South (the Ellipse), north of the National Mall, and west of other Department of Commerce buildings, the John A. Wilson Building, and the Ronald Reagan Building. The building is owned by the General Services Administration.

Completed in 1932, it was renamed after Herbert Hoover in 1981. Hoover served as Secretary of Commerce (1921–1928) and later President (1929–1933). The closest Washington Metro station is Federal Triangle.

The National Aquarium in Washington, D.C. (in the basement) and the White House Visitor Center (on the first floor) are both in the Hoover Building.

History:

The Department of Commerce was established after President William Howard Taft signed legislation creating the department on his last day in office, March 4, 1913, splitting the former Department of Commerce and Labor into the Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor.

In 1928, Congress authorized the purchase of land in what is now known as the Federal Triangle for departmental offices. The authorization was part of a wave of government construction; the 1926 Public Buildings Act permitted the government to hire private architects for the design of federal buildings, which led to large-scale construction of public buildings, including the development of the 70-acre (280,000 m2) Federal Triangle site between the Capitol and the White House. Soon afterward Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon and the Board of Architectural Consultants, composed of leading architects and headed by Edward H. Bennett of the Chicago a ...More...

2011 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
