Nation's Schools of Architecture Receive Film on Loadbearing Masonry
Every accredited school of architecture at leading universities throughout the United States and Canada now has a copy of the International Masonry Institute's highly acclaimed film, First Principles. The deans of the schools also have been notified about the availability of IMI's new technical slide-show on loadbearing masonry, Masonry Bearing Walls: A Rational Revolution in Design.
First Principles, a film about loadbearing design and featuring the work of the late Louis Kahn, FAIA, was presented by IMI to each school as a gift from the U.S. and Canadian masonry industries. Thank-you letters received indicate the film has been well-received by the professors of architecture and the students. They indicate it will be used repeatedly during 1975.
First Principles is 16mm, color, 17-minutes in length and can be purchased from IMI for $60 including reel, container and postage. The technical slide-show of 80 color slides, cassette recorded-narration, script, container and postage also is $60.
A new guide recently published by IMI gives full details as to how these two audio-visual aids can be the nucleus for effective, local, loadbearing-masonry seminars. A single, free copy of the guide is available on request.
Film prints and the slide shows are also obtainable on free loan, along with other IMI films, through IMI distributors in Canada and on the U.S. East and West Coasts.
A new IMI film catalog lists all available audio-visual aids including information about films of other masonry organizations. The addresses of IMI distributors are listed in the film catalog. A single copy of the catalog will be sent free of charge. Include self-addressed envelope, with 10¢ stamp, with request to Neal English, Executive Director, International Masonry Institute, 823 15th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005.
