Jane Hall Livres

A ground-breaking visual survey of architecture designed by women from the early twentieth century to the present day 'Would they still call me a diva if I were a man?' asked Zaha Hadid, challenging as she did so more than a century of stereotypes about female architects. In the same spirited approach, Breaking Ground is a pioneering visual manifesto of more than 200 incredible buildings designed by women all over the world. Featuring twentieth-century icons such as Julia Morgan, Eileen Gray and Lina Bo Bardi, and the best contemporary talent, from Kazuyo Sejima to Elizabeth Diller and Grafton Architects, this book is, above all else, a ground-breaking celebration of extraordinary architecture.

Says Jane Hall: "It is time to break the silence; time to acknowledge our successes and our failures. Time to move forward."

The telecommunications scene is changing rapidly as the global information society comes closer. Modern broadband networks make it feasible to interconnect distributed systems on a worldwide basis. But to realize a global information infrastructure that uses the capabilites of broadband interconnection to the full, cooperative telecommunications service management needs particular attention. This monograph is the final report of the European RACE II Research Project PREPARE, devoted to designing and implementing prototype telecommunications management systems over real testbeds. The excellent results presented are a major contribution to advancing the state of the art in the field and have been widely acknowledged by standards bodies, manufacturers, operators, service providers, and academics.
