<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello, it's been a while (almost a Ph.D. ago) since I introduced myself on the list. I've just finished my dissertation in the history and theory of architecture program at McGill University (benefiting from the very generous advice of Tom Lamarre). <div><br></div><div>My dissertation dealt with Lang's, Tezuka's, and Rintarô's versions of Metropolis, and I'm interested in the image of the city and architecture in film and anime, as well as the use of visual imaging in architectural design. My thesis also touched on <i>Tekkon Kinkreet</i>, and I'd like to research the film a little further by getting in touch with Michael Arias or others. I've tried to get his contact information through a few different channels, but so far no luck. If anyone could help with this (by answering off-list) I'd greatly appreciate it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Lawrence Bird</div></body></html>
