Harold “Doc” Edgerton—How Fast Is Fast?
Called “the man who made time stand still,” MIT Professor Harold “Doc” Edgerton delighted and amazed the world by retooling an obscure laboratory instrument and producing photographs that no one had ever seen before. Using a stroboscope, Edgerton captured moments in time that were too fast to be seen by the naked eye—the shattering of a light bulb, hummingbirds in flight, a drop of milk falling into liquid. Learn more about MIT’s popular professor by watching this excerpt from the 1994 film How Fast is Fast?. Produced by MIT Video Productions for the Edgerton Foundation, the film showcases the motivations behind this remarkable engineer/educator as well as the novelty and beauty of his photography.

Perspecta 35: Building Codes
Perspecta 35: Building Codes Architectural journal, edited by Elijah Huge, New Haven: Yale School of Architecture & Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 2004. Sewn paperback, 229 x 305 mm, 160 pp. The book consists of two kinds of writing: the full-length, academic ‘essays’, and the more personal and sketch-like ‘briefs’. The essays form the main body of the book, while the briefs, printed on smaller sheets of coloured paper, are placed at an interval of sixteen pages, regardless of the flow of the essays. The book in its standard format is quite big for extended reading: the text is set in an accordingly large size, forcing the reader to maintain a safe distance between his/her eyes and the book. It also adds a slightly unfamiliar, rather wild quality to the largely conventional and refined layout.
