OFICIO by nativo

La principal fuente de creatividad para el arquitecto es su pasión por moldear el espacio, a través de los materiales y la naturaleza cumpliendo las necesidades de un cliente o una sociedad, y buscando su permanencia, tanto para servir como para educar y mostrar parte de lo que su momento permite.

Las herramientas para expresar un concepto se han multiplicado y el papel del mundo real y la imagen del mundo virtual se complementan y no solo proyectan una idea, sino que permiten… Continue

Come aiutare la Terra (e noi)

Girando per mercati, per fare la spesa, possiamo notare alcuni comportamenti non proprio ecologici ai quali ormai ci siamo abituati, spinti dal consumo di massa. Uno, la quantità di confezioni varie che servono a contenere e presentare i prodotti alimentari, tutti molto belli e funzionali ma vi siete mai chiesti da dove provengono, quali materie prime sono state utilizzate per produrli e dove, soprattutto, vanno a finire? La maggior parte di essi sono prodotti dell'industria petrolchimica… Continue

SOCIEDAD + ARQUITECTURA by buscando la aurora

El aumento y espacialidad de los oficios, fue haciendo de la estructura de la Sociedad algo más complejo, tanto en funciones como en necesidades materiales y espirituales.

A la par de esos cambios la Arquitectura se mantuvo como intérprete generando edificios supuestamente "adecuados" para cierto perfil de usuario, aunque en la realidad vemos y reflexionamos sobre proyectos de puntos… Continue

Steampunk Architecture in the City of London

Lloyd's of London (Photo by Jason Hawkes)

As Hallowe’en approaches, my thoughts turn to candle-lit carved pumpkins and leather corsets with lots of buckles. Mystifying buckles, cogs, wheels and gizmos seem to be steampunk essentials, preferably with goggles and a swirling cape.

Steampunk girls favour Victoriana combined with leather and derring-do.

Steampunk is… Continue

Building that protect people from sickness?

Hospitals are the most complex of building types. Each hospital is comprised of a wide range of services and functional units. These include diagnostic and treatment functions, such as clinical laboratories, imaging, emergency rooms, and surgery; hospitality functions, such as food service and housekeeping; and the fundamental inpatient care or bed-related function. This diversity is reflected in the breadth and specificity of regulations, codes, and oversight that govern hospital construction… Continue

How to integrate the designer's creativity with the natural environment and all supporting around them. Development in Indonesia is still suffering a bit excessive obsession with the modernization of the environment that is sometimes willing to sacrifice its natural element.

we are not equal by carlos coronel

We are not equal, is the origin of the vision of a real global architecture environment; the world is ruled not only by the economy that set the countries in the first, second, third or less world. At least one good architect can be found in any country; first because “born skills” and second because the interest in search the architecture made in the past, on process and futuristic visions collected by own experience, books and internet (websites, e-mails and messenger).

A scientist in Florence appears to be on the verge of getting permission to test out a theory that he has held for three decades—that Renaissance artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari secretly preserved Leonardo da Vinci’s lost masterpiece The Battle of Anghiari behind a false wall when he was asked to paint over the famous battle scene with a mural glorifying the Medicis.
