University of Pittsburgh unveils PH Nationality Room
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — The cheerful, melodious sounds of traditional Filipino gong music echoed in the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning — a soundtrack to the celebration of a new Nationality Room. On June 9, the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh community came together as Pitt dedicated the Philippine Nationality Room. It was a celebration nearly 20 years in the making, and the first new room since the Korean Room was opened in 2015. — a collection of rooms inside the Cathedral of Learning that represent cultures and heritages from around the world. About 25,000 visitors partake in guided room tours each year, and most of the rooms also serve as classrooms. And with the new room, guests are now able to step inside the Philippines when they visit the Cathedral. The dedication Pagdiriwang, the annual celebration of Philippine independence, was a festive fit to align with the dedication of the new room. “Words cannot express the feelings I have now that we have finally dedicated the room,” said Tina Purpura, fundraising chair of the Philippine Nationality Room Task Force, who immigrated to the United States from Manila in 1981. “We are doing this for our children, to keep the legacy of the Filipino community alive.” The task force, composed of seven members of the local Filipino community, led the planning and fundraising efforts to create the room. This involved more than 20 years of organizing — including trips to the Philippines for design inspiration. , symbolizing the gifting of the room to the University. , took part in the dedication festivities. “The University of Pittsburgh’s newest room is a stunning tribute to the Filipino people and culture — one that community members and visitors will be able to explore, admire and learn from for generations to come,” said Gallagher. “To the members of the Philippine Nationality Room Task Force, (Nationality Rooms Director) Maxine Bruhns and her team, and all the individuals who worked for years to bring this vision to life: Thank you.” Cudd called the new room a “truly meaningful addition.” “Within its sturdy and elegant walls, our faculty and students will share knowledge, energized by the room’s finely executed details,” she told those in attendance. “This is a historic moment,” added Armony. He thanked the task force for a “true labor of love.” He also called for applause for Bruhns, who has been director of the Nationality Rooms since 1965. Following the ceremony, a parade of young Filipino women walking under floral arches led the attendees over to the Cathedral of Learning for a cultural festival. In the Cathedral of Learning’s large Commons Room, guests gathered to hear instrumental music by New York City-based ensemble Kinding Sindaw. The musicians, originally from the southern Philippines, played kulintang, an ensemble of gongs of various sizes that are struck with soft mallets. Male and female dancers in colorful native dress performed a celebration of their country’s dance heritage, much to the delight of an enthusiastic crowd. Filipino women distributed specially prepared food like biko, sweet rice cakes cooked in coconut milk; and lumpia, meat filled dumplings, as attendees admired artwork and artifacts lining the Commons Room walls. Guests also enjoyed free tours of all 31 Nationality Rooms. Step into the Philippines The new room is reflective of the typical homes of Philippine ancestors, said Purpura. “We want visitors to feel the Filipino hospitality immediately when they enter this room, which reminds me of my grandparents’ home,” said Purpura. “The room really does tell a story of our Filipino culture.” According to the task force, it was important to represent the influence of cultures that make up the Philippines, which is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands. To formulate the design concept, members of the task force made trips to the Philippines and consulted with scholars and architects from Manila.
Architect of record Warren Bulseco and Manila-based room designer Melinda “Popi” Laudico modeled the room after the Quema house in Vigan, Philippines. The room reflects the Bahay na Bato style, which translates to “house of stone,” to make a sturdy home that can outlast the typhoons, earthquakes and floods that regularly impact the islands. Prominently featured in the room are paneled bay windows, which are covered in capiz —the inner lining of oyster shells. Capiz are widely used in the Philippines for window shutters. The shells are made to block the sun and admit cool breezes when the windows are left open. The room also features colorful murals on the walls and ceiling that contain symbolism of Filipino culture and mythology, hand-painted by Philippine-born artist Eliseo Art Silva.

Welcome to Pittsburgh, one of the best places in the world to visit in 2013, as seen on NBC's Today show! We invite you to visit and see for yourself what makes Pittsburgh so great, from our hometown spirit, lots of fun things for families to do, great restaurants and places to stay...oh yes, and then there's our sports teams. What more can we say? Steel and coal may have built this city, and you'll see the names Mellon and Carnegie on an awful lot of things, but Pittsburgh has come a long way from its gritty, industrial past. The Waterfront Complex, a collection of shops, restaurants, a movie theater and even a water park, was recently built on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Works, and two new professional sports stadiums have opened downtown in just the past two years. However, history buffs will delight in a visit to sites like the Point State Park (home of the Fort Pitt Museum) and the Duquesne Incline, where you can ride an antique cable car and browse displays about this unique form of transportation. If you don't mind the extra drive, a trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling water is a must.

40 was OPEN!! - Up only - Shuttle/O Car elevator - University of Pittsburgh - PA
On my trip to the most famous landmark on Pitt's campus during the Nationality Rooms Holiday Open House, 1st off, most of the LCD screens on the CompassPlus elevators were out for some odd reason, not sure why that is (didn't film those, but another user did about a week before they were out then too).
But now straight to the point, when I went to try the O Car as usual just for the heck of it, I tried the floors, 1st I tried 40, of course I was expecting it to go out, but no, I found 40 was OPEN!! On normal service! I was very shocked to see this, as it's never been open before as long as I've been coming here. None of the other floors were open. This is just a quick ride going up as I discovered this off-camera when no 1 got on it, but then all of a sudden when I was getting my video, a bunch of people got on it went up there. Also a little peak into the never seen on video by an elevator enthusiast before board room, which was also strangely un-locked, even though both doors have Pitt ID readers on them. I honestly don't know if this was intentional for the Nationality Rooms Christmas open-house for visitors to go up there, or accidental.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
