Dr.Jason Dixon delegate submission

[edit]

Dear colleagues I believe I can contribute to and represent our work st the Wikimedia Summit in April. I'm semi-retired, and can allocate freely my time and efforts to focus on what our team would like to achieve to further our work, represent our achievements. Furthermore I'm confident in my capacity to prepare in collaboration with our board members and other key stakeholders, what we need to offer as compelling argument to key Wikiversity, Wikimedia and Wikifoundation officeholders to bring attention to the value of our work and achievements, and rally support and favour, within the broader Wiki communities and outside key stakeholders, of what we need to continue to succeed with the good work accomplished so far.

I have a lifelong career in clinical practice, researcher appointments, and education in 4 countries, and in several languages. My Japanese is near native and you can see my work on Wikipedia here Dr.khatmando. I have published in scholarly journals, contributed textbook chapters for undergraduate and postgraduate clinical course, and presented at conferences internationally. I have also served on the editorial board of another scholarly Journal (as a mental health epidemiology, and psychometric expert) that was open source, but unfortunately is now published by SAGE. It is still an excellent and well respected journal. This means the journal has come under the tyranny of the the "Impact Factor" and "Publish or Perish" model, which I fiercely oppose as anti-scholarly. I'm convinced and can show evidence that this old system is a barrier to furthering scholarly rigour. Some of my efforts in this area can be found at my ResearchGate profile. In particular my collaboration with Dr. Scott Miller and an international consortium of scientists on psychotherapy research.

Along with my scholarly work I also have several years experience and success as a film and documentary film producer, which I believe can assist in promoting our current and future work. You can see references to this here: Jason Dixon, Producer, Writer IMDBpro . I wish to acknowledge Lionel's capacity as a delegate as well, and it would be ideal if we could both team up, prepare and attend. As I'm based in Australia and do have some partial mobility disablement, I can only attend with the financial assistance offered by Wikifoundation/Wikiedia Summit. I would attend and bare my own costs if the summit was closer. That being said perhaps there is a way to share some of the expenses proportionately. If there is need for more information or clarification please let me know via email through our board mailing list, or use my email address directly to contact me.

Finally whether you choose to send me or not, I have no hesitation to invest my time and capacity to the delegate who is chosen to go. We're all members of the academy (I.e. an old-school reference to those who upon receiving Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) credentials are to be welcomed as members into the universal academy of scholars), and all our efforts are for a common cause; to better understand the human condition, relieve suffering, and raise the quality of life for all people and future generations.

Development(Draft Proposal New Section)

[edit]

In Japan, during the 1920s and 1930s the last buildings with architectural designs drawing from artistic historicism were constructed. This was due to a decline in the strict adherence to the design rules that defined classic historicism in architecture, and allowed for an eclectic architectural style which included aspects of Frank Lloyd Wright, Modernism and Expressionist architecture. This was a compromise made to combine multiple styles into the Classic architectural or simplified classical architectural design within a single building project.[1]

In 1911 architect "George" Kikutarō Shimoda[note 1][2] who had designed the Tor Hotel in Kobe, received a formal request from Aisaku Hayashi (林愛作) General Manager of the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, for a complete preliminary study to be conducted for the rebuilding of the Imperial Hotel.[2] Prior to his engagement in this project, Shimoda had been employed as a draughtsman by Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago,[3] but was not held in high regard.[4][2] In Wright's autobiography, he described Shimoda as a yellow-faced and evil-eyed, and then assualted and terminated his employment.[4]

Shimoda returned to Japan, and submitted two preliminary design drawings. Shimoda avoided strictly imitating Western architectural styles seen in large scale hotel projects of the period, by amalgamating the roof style and floor plan of Phoenix Hall Byōdō-in, into an earthquake resistant building.[2] In March 1916, Following Shimoda's submission, the project architect was changed to Frank Lloyd Wright, who signed memorandum with the Imperial Household.[5] When Wright's design plans became know to Shimoda, he made claims that his work had been plagiarised.[6] The Imperial Hotels executives conceded to the considerable demands for compensation that Shimoda had made, during a six year copyright dispute over the architectural designs for the hotel.

In this front elevation of Byōdō-in, the roof components Kikutarō Shimoda incorporated into Imperial Crown Amalgamate Style are highlighted in blue.

Having left the Imperial Hotel project, Shimoda submitted preliminary studies for the Imperial Diet building which also was not successful, however by this time Imperial Crown Amalgamate Style had become known among beyond his professional peers.[1][2]It was not until the late 1920s that Military Hall, which was the first example of Imperial Crown Amalgamate style to be built, and Kanegawa Prefectural Office, the first departure from Shimoda's original style called, Emperor's Crown Style was built, the later became known as Imperial Crown Style.
