un centro de tecnificación deportiva de futbol (BAAR – Buenos Aires Alto Rendimiento) dentro de las inmediaciones del parque Julio A. Roca aprovechando la preexistencia de una serie de campos de fútbol. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Para aquellos deportistas que lo deseen y cumplan con el perfil el BAAR se convertirá en su nueva casa durante una gran parte del año. Allí vivirán, estudiarán y entrenarán, compartirán experiencias con otros jóvenes como ellos y serán supervisados por los mejores profesionales que puedan asegurarles un desarrollo sostenible de sus facultades y los puedan guiar por el duro camino que hay que recorrer hasta llegar a convertirse en un deportista de élite.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Di2oR7SOkGU/T75nuM4H8WI/AAAAAAAADe4/U6n66tHMLso/s1600-h/Banner_BAAR_1%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Banner_BAAR_1" border="0" alt="Banner_BAAR_1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4wkYWE7oE7Q/T75nvZPGgRI/AAAAAAAADfA/ZGX67lYOTbw/Banner_BAAR_1_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="657" height="406" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Jurado: &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El jurado contará con la presencia de los siguientes miembros:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Presidente del jurado: &lt;strong&gt;Clorindo Testa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Arquitecto:&lt;strong&gt;Alejandro Vaca Bononato&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Arquitecto:&lt;strong&gt; Hernán Maldonado &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Arquitecto t Urbanista:&lt;strong&gt; Alberto Varas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Arquitecta - Director Directora de Infraestructura de la Secretaría de Deporte:&lt;strong&gt; Beatriz Lagrutta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LiCpWp8e1VY/T75nw9zQX6I/AAAAAAAADfI/sk8XbS3FESs/s1600-h/Banner_BAAR_2%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Banner_BAAR_2" border="0" alt="Banner_BAAR_2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-hPcaRC8Unto/T75nyIyCAdI/AAAAAAAADfQ/FyM7MwvCYhI/Banner_BAAR_2_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="660" height="496" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Premios: &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;5000 Euros en Efectivo &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Publicación&lt;/strong&gt; en Future Arquitecturas, WA+wettbewerbeaktuell, SUMMA+ y 90+10 + &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1 año de subscripción&lt;/strong&gt; a una revista a elegir entre: FRAME/MARK/ELEPHANT, Domus, Architectural Review, Architectural Record, Arquitectura Viva, Arquine, Detail, Future arquitecturas &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exposición&lt;/strong&gt; en la Facultad de Arquitectura de Barcelona ETSAB + &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Publicación&lt;/strong&gt; en diversos Blogs de arquitectura.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-C4IYsp02XpU/T75n0EwabbI/AAAAAAAADfY/JMnyXL4twd0/s1600-h/Banner_BAAR_3%25255B5%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Banner_BAAR_3" border="0" alt="Banner_BAAR_3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-a4U8bNsDftU/T75n1giFKpI/AAAAAAAADfg/maYS9gGnBsI/Banner_BAAR_3_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="659" height="496" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Calendario:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16 Mayo 2012 &lt;/strong&gt;Inicia el periodo de inscripción&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30 Septiembre 2012 &lt;/strong&gt;Fecha límite de entrega de propuestas&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8FkJl55RPLs/T75n3BahM1I/AAAAAAAADfo/ipTybnJ8HUk/s1600-h/Banner_BAAR_4%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Banner_BAAR_4" border="0" alt="Banner_BAAR_4" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mXcb_P2vRXo/T75n4WMCZHI/AAAAAAAADfw/KNAe2_N-7To/Banner_BAAR_4_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="654" height="492" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;web &lt;a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ebejbcdab&amp;amp;et=1104271786631&amp;amp;s=0&amp;amp;e=001pBKiqNnS8S8fo1WoBmUw9ce93UV8pr-4VrlbCz7LFaiUWbqVKsPU6LbxfYvsb1RRtOpUfCSl_-2S1HlzOr_-HzqWvZLhSOAwSZh8Bx70qSdyr3sMNmtisw=="&gt;www.archmedium.com&lt;/a&gt; para acceder a toda la información (bases completas, imágenes, planos, etc.)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

She was currently participating on various chapter projects as well as the chapter’s steering committee. Her energy and creativity was an inspiration to many around her. Her fellow chapter members came to admire Suzanne’s commitment to share her talent and expertise for the greater good of the San Francisco community. She shall be greatly missed.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;hr /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We invite all chapter members planning to attend this year's AIA Convention Design Expo in Washington DC to stop by the Architecture for Humanity booth at the Walter E.

Se ha depredado y segregado el territorio, se han multiplicado desproporcionadamente los precios, y amplios sectores de la población han quedado en riesgo de exclusión social, al no poder acceder de ninguna manera a la vivienda, o han visto mermada su calidad de vida al tener que destinar casi la totalidad de su salario al pago de las cuotas hipotecarias.&lt;/font&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Frente a esta situación, las experiencias nacionales e internacionales de cooperativas de viviendas en cesión de uso establecen, a través de la propiedad colectiva, un sistema de acceso a la vivienda, (junto con otros espacios y servicios complementarios, compartidos por el grupo y en general abiertos al barrio) desvinculado de manera permanente del ánimo de lucro.&lt;/font&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal"&gt;Este modelo, basado en la cultura comunitaria y en la gestión democrática, se presenta como una alternativa de acceso a la vivienda en Andalucía que garantice, también para las generaciones futuras, una vivienda asequible y comprometida con el medio ambiente y la sociedad.&lt;/font&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal"&gt;La asociación universitaria Arquitectura y Compromiso Social organiza este año su XX Seminario, con el interés de provocar el debate público y la reflexión conjunta sobre este tema de actualidad, proponiéndonos contribuir a la &lt;/font&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal"&gt;difusión y promoción del modelo de cooperativas de viviendas en cesión de uso y disfrute, como una alternativa de acceso a la vivienda en Andalucía.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://coopdeusosevilla.masqueunacasa.org/blog/actividades-paralelas-y-otros-eventos" href="http://coopdeusosevilla.masqueunacasa.org/blog/actividades-paralelas-y-otros-eventos"&gt;http://coopdeusosevilla.masqueunacasa.org/blog/actividades-paralelas-y-otros-eventos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vbp9lZO-sjQ/T7J-lwWGvJI/AAAAAAAADbQ/OkdYgPzJ27k/s1600-h/post_16%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="post_16" border="0" alt="post_16" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uqdvieicS8I/T7J-oogesII/AAAAAAAADbY/XYfm8nBVwBk/post_16_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="654" height="926" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Tenemos la intención de provocar el debate público y la reflexión conjunta sobre este tema de actualidad, proponiéndonos contribuir a la difusión y promoción del modelo de cooperativas de viviendas en cesión de uso y disfrute, como una alternativa de acceso a la vivienda en Andalucía.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Además de esto, esperamos que este Encuentro sirva de punto de arranque para un grupo de personas interesadas en desarrollar experiencias de cooperativas de vivienda en cesión de uso en nuestro contexto como base de otro modelo de convivencia.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Actualizaciones, novedades y proceso tras el Seminario en nuestro blog: &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://coopdeusosevilla.masqueunacasa.org"&gt;http://coopdeusosevilla.masqueunacasa.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; ¡nos vemos allí!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Tras acabar los estudios, Graz se convirtió en su principal centro de influencia, dando clases en la Universidad Técnica de Graz y realizando numerosas construcciones en dicha ciudad.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Desde 1963 y hasta 1973, trabajó conjuntamente con Eilfried Huth. Con posterioridad trabajó por su cuenta, exceptuando algunas colaboraciones con Hermann Eisenköck.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Su estilo se encuentra establecido en la postmodernidad. Algunos de sus trabajos dan la impresión de ser obras completas de arte, como por ejemplo su Opus mágnum, das Steinhaus en Steindorf.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.domenig.at/" href="http://www.domenig.at/"&gt;http://www.domenig.at/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;photo: &lt;a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ninanuri"&gt;Ninanuri&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe style="width: 658px; height: 434px" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HdWBjcDWNiA" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;An inverted view of Gunther Domenig's fascinating structure, the &amp;quot;Zentralsparkasse&amp;quot; along Favoritenstrasse at the southern outskirts of Vienna. Domenig's mannered, twisted metal skin provides a look at a &amp;quot;missing link&amp;quot; in the intellectual transition from the type of modern architecture so dominant in the 1970's to a more innovative and plastic kinds of signature architecture made famous in the late 80's and early 90's&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Este proyecto unifica tres tecnologías que ya se emplean en la actualidad: los dispositivos UAV, las técnicas de reconstrucción 3D a partir de fotografías y la representación virtual de modelos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Un equipo de la Universidad de Granada ha desarrollado un sistema que permite escanear modelos en 3D de edificios históricos mediante el uso de vehículos aéreos no tripulados (UAV). &amp;quot;El objetivo de este proyecto es poder obtener un modelo 3D de una fachada de un edificio histórico (por ejemplo, una catedral) de forma automática, con la mínima intervención humana posible y con un coste inferior a las alternativas disponibles en la actualidad (los escáneres 3D)&amp;quot;, explican sus responsables.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Hasta la fecha, los vehículos aéreos no tripulados se aplican en numerosos campos de investigación, debido a su capacidad para moverse rápidamente sobre cualquier tipo de terreno irregular, sortear grandes obstáculos, y proveer información de múltiples sensores, permitiendo variar dinámicamente la posición y distancia de captación de los datos .&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sin andamios ni grúas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Aunque la autonomía de estos dispositivos es limitada, pueden bajar de las alturas para que un operario cambie la batería (operación que requiere sólo unos segundos), permitiendo a los UAV reanudar la tarea instantáneamente y de forma automática. De este modo, es posible realizar el escaneo en un tiempo récord, y se elimina la necesidad de utilizar elementos auxiliares tales como andamios o grúas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Con esta tecnología es posible realizar el escaneo en un tiempo récord y se elimina la necesidad de utilizar andamios y grúas&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Por su parte, las tecnologías de digitalización 3D permiten, a partir de distintas fuentes de información (sensores de distancia, cámaras estereoscópicas, múltiples imágenes geo-posicionadas tomadas desde diferentes ángulos, etc.) reconstruir modelos 3D de cualquier objeto real con una elevada precisión. Y las técnicas de realidad virtual permiten actualmente representar modelos tridimensionales con alta calidad (similar a lo que vemos en las películas 3D en los cines).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Las aplicaciones inmediatas son evidentes, ya que es posible tener un dispositivo autónomo que en cuestión de minutos puede obtener escaneadas fachadas con la misma o mayor precisión que un muy buen escáner 3D, ya que el dispositivo se podría acercar a unos pocos centímetros del edificio para capturar hasta los más pequeños y ocultos detalles sin necesidad de grúas u otros artificios.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Este proyecto se centra en la digitalización de fachadas y se plantea como un paso previo para demostrar la aplicabilidad de esta tecnología a la digitalización de cualquier volumen arquitectónico: edificios, construcciones, obra civil y monumentos. Todos estos elementos tienen en común que la mayor parte de la digitalización se realiza en parámetros verticales, y en zonas localizadas del espacio.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Financiación del CEI BioTic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En este proyecto participan distintos grupos de investigación de la Universidad de Granada: el Grupo de Modelos de Decisión y Optimización (MODO) y el Grupo de investigación en Informática Gráfica (GIIG); el Laboratorio de Realidad Virtual de la UGR, además de personal de la Universidad de Málaga y las empresas Intelligenia Dynamics y Virtum Graphics, ambas spin-off de la Universidad de Granada y agregadas del Campus de Excelencia Internacional (CEI) BioTic. No en vano, el CEI financiará este proyecto de investigación.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Además, el proyecto cuenta con la colaboración del Patronato de la Alhambra y el Generalife y CETURSA Sierra Nevada S. A., empresa participada mayoritariamente por la Consejería de Turismo, Comercio y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.agenciasinc.es/Noticias/Robots-voladores-escanean-modelos-en-3D-de-edificios-historicos" href="http://www.agenciasinc.es/Noticias/Robots-voladores-escanean-modelos-en-3D-de-edificios-historicos"&gt;http://www.agenciasinc.es/Noticias/Robots-voladores-escanean-modelos-en-3D-de-edificios-historicos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Está especializado en el estudio de la economía de     &lt;br /&gt;las ciudades y ha escrito numerosos artículos sobre el crecimiento     &lt;br /&gt;urbano, los problemas de segregación o delincuencia y el mercado     &lt;br /&gt;inmobiliario. Colabora habitualmente con medios como The New York Sun y     &lt;br /&gt;The Boston Globe.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;El mayor invento de la      &lt;br /&gt;especie humana&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;La relación entre el hombre y la ciudad se ha basado siempre en el    &lt;br /&gt;intercambio: el hombre creó la ciudad y ésta ha humanizado al     &lt;br /&gt;hombre. El triunfo de las ciudades parte de esta idea para hacer     &lt;br /&gt;un elogio de la metrópoli y de su potencial civilizador. El ser     &lt;br /&gt;humano es social por naturaleza y donde mejor ejerce esa sociabilidad es     &lt;br /&gt;en el núcleo urbano. Edward Glaeser, uno de los más reconocidos     &lt;br /&gt;expertos internacionales en Economía Urbana, traza un nuevo camino     &lt;br /&gt;que evidencia el triunfo de la ciudad por todo el mundo. Lo hace     &lt;br /&gt;reflexionando sobre lo que fueron y son Atenas, Florencia, Londres, París,     &lt;br /&gt;Tokio o Nueva York. Resalta contundentes datos estadísticos: 243     &lt;br /&gt;millones de estadounidenses se concentran en ciudades que representan     &lt;br /&gt;el 3 por ciento del espacio del país; Tokio y sus alrededores acogen a 36     &lt;br /&gt;millones de personas, Bombay a 12… La conclusión es obvia: el ser humano     &lt;br /&gt;prefiere vivir en la ciudad. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Glaeser se dedica con pasión al estudio de la dinámica de las    &lt;br /&gt;ciudades y, al hilo de ese gran tema central, trata la historia de la cultura,     &lt;br /&gt;de la economía, la tecnología, la ecología e incluso de la psicología. Las     &lt;br /&gt;ciudades, dice el autor, han sido motores de innovación desde la Atenas     &lt;br /&gt;clásica. Lo fue Florencia en el Renacimiento y Birmingham en la     &lt;br /&gt;Revolución Industrial. Es una realidad cada vez más evidente que la     &lt;br /&gt;densidad urbana ofrece el camino más corto para pasar de la miseria a la     &lt;br /&gt;prosperidad, de la inactividad al absoluto desarrollo. El autor rompe los     &lt;br /&gt;mitos que eclipsan la idea de progreso: la ciudad es el mayor invento de la     &lt;br /&gt;especie humana. Como bien enuncia el subtítulo: nuestra mejor creación     &lt;br /&gt;nos hace más ricos, más inteligentes, más ecológicos, más sanos y más     &lt;br /&gt;felices. Y sus logros benefician al mundo entero. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gandhi, que dijo que la verdadera India estaba en sus aldeas, no    &lt;br /&gt;estaba tan en lo cierto. El desarrollo de la India, como el de todos los     &lt;br /&gt;países, depende casi por completo de sus ciudades y de sus núcleos     &lt;br /&gt;urbanos. Se da, a lo largo y ancho del mundo, una correlación casi     &lt;br /&gt;perfecta entre urbanización y prosperidad: la satisfacción existencial     &lt;br /&gt;aumenta en proporción al porcentaje de población que vive en ellas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La pobreza&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;«La verdad central que hay detrás del éxito de la civilización y el        &lt;br /&gt;motivo primordial por el que existen las ciudades es la fuerza que         &lt;br /&gt;emana de la colaboración humana». Las ciudades son su gente,         &lt;br /&gt;no sus edificios; están hechas de carne y no de hormigón.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Incluso lo que parece una deficiencia, como puede ocurrir con la    &lt;br /&gt;pobreza en el caso de las ciudades, no lo es necesariamente. Éstas no     &lt;br /&gt;empobrecen a la gente, sino que atraen a los más necesitados.     &lt;br /&gt;Glaeser da la vuelta a los tópicos más enquistados: los pobres que     &lt;br /&gt;viven en ellas son una prueba de sus virtudes ¾más o menos visibles¾,     &lt;br /&gt;no de sus defectos. Una manera de comprender correctamente este     &lt;br /&gt;fenómeno es partiendo de la base de que la pobreza urbana no se debe     &lt;br /&gt;comparar con la riqueza urbana sino con la miseria rural.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mxZMCzdZoWI/T2jWnz7s6iI/AAAAAAAADJk/HuCv8bJ6FkY/s1600-h/image7.png"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-g7dS3_WpS9Q/T2jWpb1vDqI/AAAAAAAADJs/a3w9ym7RKCQ/image_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" width="387" height="291" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Es preocupante, pues,     &lt;br /&gt;cuando una urbe no tiene pobreza     &lt;br /&gt;suficiente: ¿por qué no logra     &lt;br /&gt;atraer a los menos afortunados?     &lt;br /&gt;«En Londres hay muchos     &lt;br /&gt;banqueros porque es un buen sitio     &lt;br /&gt;para ser banquero. En ciudades     &lt;br /&gt;como Río de Janeiro hay muchos     &lt;br /&gt;pobres porque son sitios     &lt;br /&gt;relativamente buenos para ser     &lt;br /&gt;pobre». Pero las condiciones no     &lt;br /&gt;son en todos los lugares iguales: la     &lt;br /&gt;pobreza de Río no tiene comparación&amp;#160; con la del nordeste rural de Brasil.     &lt;br /&gt;Hay barrios bajos que sirven a menudo de trampolines hacia la     &lt;br /&gt;prosperidad de clase media mientras que hay otros que no cumplen     &lt;br /&gt;funciones de desarrollo. Cuanto más alejados estén del núcleo, geográfica     &lt;br /&gt;y funcionalmente, menos posibilidades de progreso económico tienen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Tecnología y ecología&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El transporte siempre ha determinado la configuración de las    &lt;br /&gt;ciudades: en la antigüedad, no tan lejana, gozaban de un centro     &lt;br /&gt;determinado normalmente por su puerto o la estación de     &lt;br /&gt;ferrocarril. Cada vez más, las urbes se reestructuran en función     &lt;br /&gt;de su avance automovilístico: la modernidad hace que se extiendan hacia     &lt;br /&gt;el horizonte. Así, por ejemplo, la Norteamérica urbana del siglo XX no     &lt;br /&gt;pertenece tanto al rascacielos como al automóvil y a su capacidad de     &lt;br /&gt;rápida prolongación y fluidez. Éste hace viable un estilo de vida opulento     &lt;br /&gt;que inevitablemente tiene unos altos costes medioambientales.     &lt;br /&gt;Igualmente conlleva la paradoja de que cada mejora modifica las     &lt;br /&gt;costumbres de los usuarios, de modo que se anula el avance. Un ejemplo     &lt;br /&gt;claro son los gobiernos que invierten en un mayor número de carreteras o     &lt;br /&gt;carriles en las localidades que, en vez de traer comodidad y seguridad, lo     &lt;br /&gt;que promueven es una invitación a un mayor número de coches y de     &lt;br /&gt;tránsito. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Se demuestra asimismo que los ecologistas partidarios de la vida    &lt;br /&gt;en las afueras se equivocan. Las verdaderas aliadas del medio ambiente     &lt;br /&gt;son las ciudades, no las zonas periféricas. Los amantes de la naturaleza     &lt;br /&gt;que viven rodeados de árboles y hierba consumen mucha más energía que     &lt;br /&gt;los que viven en la urbe. Menos de un tercio de los neoyorquinos va al     &lt;br /&gt;trabajo en coche, frente al 86 por ciento de los estadounidenses que viven     &lt;br /&gt;en zonas residenciales.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Auge y decadencia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Los ejemplos que analiza Glaeser para dar cuenta del fenómeno    &lt;br /&gt;del auge significativo en las ciudades se refieren a países que     &lt;br /&gt;están dejando de ser tercermundistas para convertirse en     &lt;br /&gt;naciones emergentes. Es el caso de Bangalore y sus triunfadoras     &lt;br /&gt;empresas de tecnología de la información. El empresario de software se     &lt;br /&gt;ha sumado al campesino famélico y al brahmán con conciencia de casta en     &lt;br /&gt;la lista de estereotipos indios. Hoy, Bangalore es un punto de transmisión     &lt;br /&gt;de ideas; como lo fueron las ciudades que acogieron imprentas en los     &lt;br /&gt;siglos XV y XVI. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Las ciudades siempre han sido la forma más efectiva de    &lt;br /&gt;transmisión del saber entre civilizaciones. Una vez dentro, las sinergias     &lt;br /&gt;son constantes: una idea inteligente engendra necesariamente otra en un     &lt;br /&gt;proceso de adaptación constante a la era de la información. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Esta evolución se remonta a la Florencia del Renacimiento, con la idea de la perspectiva,    &lt;br /&gt;y se sigue desarrollando en el Nueva York de finales del siglo XX con     &lt;br /&gt;fenómenos relacionados como la capacidad de cuantificar la relación entre     &lt;br /&gt;riesgo y rentabilidad en las operaciones financieras.     &lt;br /&gt;Como bien sabemos, Brasil, China e India van a enriquecerse     &lt;br /&gt;mucho en los próximos años desempeñarán un papel clave. El capital se     &lt;br /&gt;creará en los núcleos urbanos que estén más ligados al resto del mundo,     &lt;br /&gt;no en las áreas rurales aisladas. Serán, pues, las ciudades y no las granjas     &lt;br /&gt;las que promoverán y proyectarán soluciones para los países que están en     &lt;br /&gt;vías de desarrollo. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Pero, de la misma manera que experimentan apogeos, también    &lt;br /&gt;decaen. Detroit, que perdió más de la mitad de su población en la segunda     &lt;br /&gt;mitad del siglo XX, es un buen ejemplo. La causa de su decadencia fue el     &lt;br /&gt;monocultivo industrial (automovilístico) que la caracterizó durante las     &lt;br /&gt;primeras décadas del siglo. La diversidad de producción fue más     &lt;br /&gt;favorable al desarrollo que la especialización en una sola empresa.     &lt;br /&gt;Además de sofocar la diversidad y la competencia imprescindibles para     &lt;br /&gt;estimular el crecimiento, Detroit nunca invirtió en las instituciones     &lt;br /&gt;educativas que sí permitieron a otras ciudades más diversificadas, como     &lt;br /&gt;Boston, Nueva York o Milán, resurgir de sus cenizas. Además, la     &lt;br /&gt;respuesta política a la decadencia de la ciudad no hizo sino empeorar las     &lt;br /&gt;cosas: los altos impuestos locales sobre la renta animaron a los     &lt;br /&gt;ciudadanos más ricos y a las empresas a marcharse de esa ciudad.     &lt;br /&gt;El autor recorre el pasado y extrapola las claves que convienen a la     &lt;br /&gt;ciudad, desde lo más global a lo más concreto: una cadena de montaje es     &lt;br /&gt;una idea destructora de conocimientos. Así como las tecnologías de la     &lt;br /&gt;información parecen multiplicar los beneficios de la inteligencia —     &lt;br /&gt;individual y colectiva—, las máquinas reducen la necesidad de ingenio     &lt;br /&gt;humano y producen el efecto contrario. Los trabajadores del sector del     &lt;br /&gt;automóvil fueron muy productivos sin necesidad de ser diestros en su     &lt;br /&gt;materia. Las grandes fábricas de automóviles se convirtieron en sinónimo     &lt;br /&gt;de estancamiento y marcadamente antitéticas a las virtudes urbanas de la     &lt;br /&gt;competencia y la comunicación. Otra clave que desvela el autor es que     &lt;br /&gt;edificar no es un remedio. Es una consecuencia del éxito, no su causa, por     &lt;br /&gt;lo tanto se convierte en una insensatez construir de más en una ciudad en     &lt;br /&gt;decadencia.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Lacras y placeres&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Las ciudades son positivas para los inmigrantes y los inmigrantes son    &lt;br /&gt;beneficiosos para las ciudades. La familia Kennedy es un caso     &lt;br /&gt;paradigmático: Boston sacó a la luz los talentos de Patrick Kennedy de un     &lt;br /&gt;modo que la Irlanda rural, su ciudad originaria, no habría podido. No hay     &lt;br /&gt;que juzgar a las zonas geográficas por su pobreza, sino por su historial a la     &lt;br /&gt;hora de impulsar a sus ciudadanos más pobres para ascender en la escala     &lt;br /&gt;social. Sin embargo, el éxodo de minorías cualificadas ha convertido a los     &lt;br /&gt;guetos en lugares peores para los hijos de los que se quedan atrás. En este     &lt;br /&gt;sentido, las políticas públicas de asistencia a los menos favorecidos     &lt;br /&gt;pueden provocar una acumulación masiva de escasez. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;La densidad permite la propagación de ideas, pero también de    &lt;br /&gt;enfermedades y delincuencia. Las ciudades necesitan gobiernos enérgicos     &lt;br /&gt;y competentes que garanticen higiene, seguridad y circulación fluida. La     &lt;br /&gt;delincuencia significa, en muchos casos, que los pobres se roban entre     &lt;br /&gt;ellos, por lo que no necesariamente se delinque hacia los más favorecidos.     &lt;br /&gt;Las ciudades son propensas al delito porque los que acuden a ellas llevan     &lt;br /&gt;consigo los problemas sociales propios de su condición y porque     &lt;br /&gt;presentan una densa concentración de víctimas potenciales: «es duro     &lt;br /&gt;ganarse la vida como ladrón en una carretera rural aislada». «Las     &lt;br /&gt;ciudades aumentan la influencia de los individuos (tanto para lo bueno     &lt;br /&gt;como para lo malo) y puesto que las opciones y los talentos de estos son     &lt;br /&gt;imprevisibles, fenómenos urbanos como las oleadas delictivas también son     &lt;br /&gt;difíciles de comprender». &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;En el otro extremo, los placeres urbanos contribuyen al éxito de        &lt;br /&gt;una ciudad. Lo dijo Samuel Johnson: «cuando un hombre está         &lt;br /&gt;cansado de Londres, está cansado de la vida, pues Londres tiene         &lt;br /&gt;todo lo que la vida puede brindar». El Nueva York del siglo XXI         &lt;br /&gt;es un lugar de esparcimiento para gente adinerada. Y, tanto para         &lt;br /&gt;lo bueno como para lo malo, hace mucho tiempo que las         &lt;br /&gt;ciudades vienen emancipando a la gente de las convenciones         &lt;br /&gt;sociales.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Construir o preservar.        &lt;br /&gt;El caso de París&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El deseo de conservar el París histórico ha contribuido a    &lt;br /&gt;convertirla en una boutique sólo para acomodados. Cuando una     &lt;br /&gt;ciudad pone demasiadas trabas a la construcción, como es su     &lt;br /&gt;caso, corre el riesgo de estancarse y de que los precios     &lt;br /&gt;aumenten sin cesar. Es importante, pues, proteger la belleza urbana, pero     &lt;br /&gt;las ciudades no deben permanecer embalsamadas: uno de sus grandes     &lt;br /&gt;activos es la capacidad de crecimiento. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Glaeser subraya constantemente la idea de que las ciudades    &lt;br /&gt;sesustentan gracias a la comunicación entre sus habitantes. Hay ciertos     &lt;br /&gt;edificios, como los rascacielos, que facilitan esas interacciones. «Las     &lt;br /&gt;ciudades caras no construyen mucho y las ciudades que construyen     &lt;br /&gt;mucho no son caras». El crecimiento ayuda a que las más prósperas sigan     &lt;br /&gt;siéndolo y a que el precio del suelo permanezca asequible. Las limitaciones     &lt;br /&gt;de altura y la conservación del patrimonio histórico tienen un precio ya     &lt;br /&gt;que las áreas protegidas son más caras y más excluyentes, mientras que     &lt;br /&gt;los rascacielos son beneficiosos: «a esas alturas los costes bajan mucho».     &lt;br /&gt;La altura ya era barata en el XIX por la falta de ascensores, por eso los     &lt;br /&gt;artistas bohemios vivían en buhardillas con magníficas vistas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;«Hace un siglo, las perspectivas de desarrollo urbano eran        &lt;br /&gt;completamente distintas. París fue construida de arriba abajo. El         &lt;br /&gt;emperador tenía una visión, y su burócrata-barón la hizo realidad.         &lt;br /&gt;La línea del horizonte de Nueva York fue el producto de las         &lt;br /&gt;iniciativas independientes de miles de constructores relativamente         &lt;br /&gt;libres de trabas dispuestos a construir todo aquello que el         &lt;br /&gt;mercado pudiera soportar. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Nueva York era una jam session caótica pero espléndida en la que        &lt;br /&gt;unos músicos magníficos apenas prestaban atención a lo que         &lt;br /&gt;sucedía a su alrededor; París era una sinfonía meticulosamente         &lt;br /&gt;compuesta. El caos neoyorquino era más dinámico, pero el orden         &lt;br /&gt;parisino generaba edificios más seguros. En 1900, los incendios         &lt;br /&gt;eran mucho más frecuentes en las ciudades estadounidenses que         &lt;br /&gt;en Europa. En la actualidad es difícil sostener que nuevos         &lt;br /&gt;rascacielos podrían modificar de algún modo la gloria fundamental         &lt;br /&gt;de Nueva York. Ahora bien, en París los adversarios del cambio         &lt;br /&gt;disponen de un argumento mejor».&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El Barón Haussmann, quiso despejar la maraña de callejuelas en las que    &lt;br /&gt;se cobijaban los revolucionarios y cuya estrechez les facilitaba la     &lt;br /&gt;colocación de barricadas sustituyéndolas por grandes avenidas que,     &lt;br /&gt;además de adornar, permitían el paso de la caballería y la artillería. «Si la     &lt;br /&gt;meta de la arquitectura es hacer feliz a la gente que la vive, la obra de     &lt;br /&gt;Haussmann tuvo un éxito clamoroso […] después de él, París se convirtió     &lt;br /&gt;en sinónimo de belleza urbana». La Défense, su barrio financiero de las     &lt;br /&gt;afueras, intenta ahora equilibrar la conservación y el crecimiento     &lt;br /&gt;segregando los rascacielos. Permite que la ciudad crezca mientras el     &lt;br /&gt;casco viejo permanece inmaculado. Pero el distrito no puede suplir la     &lt;br /&gt;ausencia de nuevas construcciones en el centro, donde, ahora, no puede     &lt;br /&gt;vivir la clase media debido a los elevados precios. En todo caso, la capital     &lt;br /&gt;de Francia es un caso extremo: su belleza justifica su excepcionalidad. Sin     &lt;br /&gt;embargo, la norma debe ser que complejos como La Défense se configuren     &lt;br /&gt;más cerca del centro. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Lo dicho anteriormente se puede comprobar también en la India,    &lt;br /&gt;concretamente en Bombay. En países en vías de desarrollo, los problemas     &lt;br /&gt;que causa la limitación de la altura son ciertamente graves. Perjudican a     &lt;br /&gt;la metrópolis más que contribuyen al progreso. La miseria, en     &lt;br /&gt;circunstancias como las del subcontinente, supone la muerte y por ello la     &lt;br /&gt;planificación territorial puede ser cuestión primaria. «Los fracasos     &lt;br /&gt;públicos de Bombay son tan notorios como sus éxitos privados. […] Las     &lt;br /&gt;limitaciones de altura no hacen sino obligar a la gente a hacinarse en     &lt;br /&gt;barriadas miserables e ilegales en lugar de en bloques de pisos legales. […]     &lt;br /&gt;La magia de las ciudades procede de sus habitantes, pero esos habitantes     &lt;br /&gt;tienen que estar bien servidos por el ladrillo y la argamasa que les     &lt;br /&gt;rodean». La altura es la mejor forma de garantizar que los precios sigan     &lt;br /&gt;siendo asequibles y el nivel de vida alto. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Contra la administración municipal, lo que él llama el    &lt;br /&gt;«imperialismo burocrático», el autor propone tres reglas sencillas para     &lt;br /&gt;defender a los motores económicos del planeta. 1) Un sistema sencillo     &lt;br /&gt;de tasas: «Si las construcciones de gran altura generan costes al     &lt;br /&gt;bloquear la luz o las vistas, entonces esos costes deberían calcularse     &lt;br /&gt;razonablemente y cobrarse de forma apropiada al constructor». 2) Una     &lt;br /&gt;bien definida limitación a la conservación de las ciudades: «Convertir     &lt;br /&gt;en parte del patrimonio una obra maestra como el edificio Flatiron o la     &lt;br /&gt;antigua estación de Penn es sensato; conservar enormes cantidades de     &lt;br /&gt;edificios de ladrillo vitrificado de posguerra es absurdo». 3) Poder de     &lt;br /&gt;cada barrio individual para proteger su carácter distintivo: «Quizá la     &lt;br /&gt;gente de ciertas manzanas quiera excluir la presencia de bares en ellas,     &lt;br /&gt;y los de otras todo lo contrario. En lugar de regular los barrios de     &lt;br /&gt;arriba abajo y hasta el último detalle, tendría más sentido permitir que     &lt;br /&gt;estos diseñen, dentro de unos límites razonables, sus propias normas     &lt;br /&gt;en lo que se refiere a los estilos de construcción y las costumbres,     &lt;br /&gt;normas que solo se adoptarían si las aprueba una proporción muy     &lt;br /&gt;grande de sus habitantes».&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Urbanizaciones periféricas&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;l automóvil, el transporte propio de la segunda mitad del siglo    &lt;br /&gt;XX, ha generado el efecto de la dispersión urbana, fomentada     &lt;br /&gt;además por las políticas públicas. En su origen, los vehículos     &lt;br /&gt;suelen atravesar tres fases: descubrimiento tecnológico, nueva     &lt;br /&gt;red de transporte para dar impulso al avance y el posterior     &lt;br /&gt;desplazamiento de la gente y las empresas. En este sentido y en el caso     &lt;br /&gt;concreto del automóvil se dieron primero las cadenas de montaje, luego     &lt;br /&gt;las autopistas y como consecuencia el traslado a zonas periféricas. Todas     &lt;br /&gt;estas innovaciones requerían cierta actividad peatonal como el     &lt;br /&gt;desplazamiento a pie a la estación de tren o a la parada del autobús; con el     &lt;br /&gt;coche cambió la dinámica radicalmente. La raíz de la expansión     &lt;br /&gt;territorial, en su sentido más pernicioso, no está en la cultura sino en los     &lt;br /&gt;automóviles. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Otro elemento clave es la propiedad. Su fomento es,    &lt;br /&gt;paradójicamente, una práctica que va en contra del equilibrio social. La     &lt;br /&gt;gran mayoría de los que viven en pisos en Estados Unidos alquilan las     &lt;br /&gt;viviendas; mientras que los que habitan residencias unifamiliares son     &lt;br /&gt;dueños. Cuando el gobierno anima a sus ciudadanos a comprar los     &lt;br /&gt;domicilios, les está empujando a abandonar la ciudad. La dispersión     &lt;br /&gt;urbana acarrea costes. La conclusión recurrente de Glaeser es que es     &lt;br /&gt;mejor y más ventajoso para el planeta y su sociedad que ésta viva en     &lt;br /&gt;núcleos densos construidos en torno al ascensor antes que en áreas de     &lt;br /&gt;expansión descontrolada construidas en torno al automóvil. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;La ciudad, la jungla de asfalto, es más ecológica que el campo. Todo    &lt;br /&gt;el que esté preocupado por el calentamiento global debería tener presente     &lt;br /&gt;que la densidad de la vida urbana es una variable clave para hallar la     &lt;br /&gt;solución del posible cambio climático. Lo que aumenta la contaminación     &lt;br /&gt;es el consumo de combustible en los kilómetros recorridos, no la eficiencia     &lt;br /&gt;de los automóviles. Es evidente que los habitantes de las grandes ciudades     &lt;br /&gt;conducen menos que los de las áreas residenciales. Por su densidad, al     &lt;br /&gt;estar concentrada, Nueva York es, por ejemplo, una de las ciudades más     &lt;br /&gt;verdes de Estados Unidos. «Sospecho que a largo plazo el romance del     &lt;br /&gt;siglo XX con la vida en los barrios residenciales nos parecerá más una     &lt;br /&gt;aberración que una pauta».&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-05s2Fkiknlw/T2jWqrDDFGI/AAAAAAAADJ0/y4AGk0G7r4I/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Go3maVapIgU/T2jWsKh2q9I/AAAAAAAADJ8/-zjp7j3B6yU/image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="430" height="336" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El autor analiza    &lt;br /&gt;algunas contradicciones     &lt;br /&gt;del ecologismo,     &lt;br /&gt;considerándolo un     &lt;br /&gt;movimiento poco definido     &lt;br /&gt;y nada ordenado. Es     &lt;br /&gt;mucho más positivo para     &lt;br /&gt;el entorno el ecologismo     &lt;br /&gt;urbano y radical del ex     &lt;br /&gt;alcalde londinense Ken     &lt;br /&gt;Livingstone, el cual     &lt;br /&gt;fomentó los edificios altos     &lt;br /&gt;y el transporte de masas,     &lt;br /&gt;que el ecologismo rural y     &lt;br /&gt;tradicional del príncipe     &lt;br /&gt;Carlos de Inglaterra. Las personas que viven en el medio rural no se     &lt;br /&gt;comportan ya como campesinos del siglo XV; de hecho consumen     &lt;br /&gt;demasiada gasolina y electricidad.     &lt;br /&gt;Pero la batalla más importante en este asunto se librará en los     &lt;br /&gt;próximos años en India y China, más que en Estados Unidos. Para     &lt;br /&gt;convencer a sus habitantes de que sean razonables en su consumo habrá     &lt;br /&gt;que dar ejemplo e imponer normas. El autor propone una tasa por     &lt;br /&gt;consumo de carbono como único medio para que la gente consuma menos     &lt;br /&gt;gasolina. Si el futuro tiene que ser «verde», entonces tendrá que ser más     &lt;br /&gt;urbano. La metáfora es paradójica pero real: no hay nada más verde que el asfalto.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Éxitos y fracasos&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En el caso de las ciudades del mundo, los fracasos son semejantes y los    &lt;br /&gt;éxitos muy distintos (aunque con algo en común: atraen a personas     &lt;br /&gt;inteligentes y les permiten colaborar entre ellas). Los caminos a la     &lt;br /&gt;prosperidad pueden seguir el modelo de Tokio (centro político de un país     &lt;br /&gt;próspero y centralizado, con una inmensa aglomeración de actividad     &lt;br /&gt;política, económica y ociosa; una suerte de combinación de Washington y     &lt;br /&gt;Nueva York). También hay que mirar hacia Hong Kong y Singapur, cuyas     &lt;br /&gt;instituciones políticas atrajeron, y atraen, al capital humano, ofreciendo a     &lt;br /&gt;las empresas un gobierno mejor que el de los Estados vecinos, un sector     &lt;br /&gt;público muy competente. En las ciudades más pobres del mundo, la     &lt;br /&gt;prosperidad suele ser consecuencia de instituciones políticas decentes e     &lt;br /&gt;inversiones en educación. Un ejemplo típico de éxito por la inversión en     &lt;br /&gt;educación es la ciudad de Boston.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Edward Glaeser concluye el libro reiterando su elogio de la        &lt;br /&gt;ciudad: «La especie humana es profundamente social. Del mismo         &lt;br /&gt;modo que las colonias de hormigas consiguen hacer cosas que         &lt;br /&gt;están muy por encima de las capacidades de un insecto aislado,         &lt;br /&gt;las ciudades son capaces de hacer cosas que están muy por         &lt;br /&gt;encima de las capacidades de un ser humano aislado. Las         &lt;br /&gt;ciudades facilitan la colaboración, sobre todo en lo referente a la         &lt;br /&gt;producción conjunta del conocimiento, la creación más         &lt;br /&gt;importante de la humanidad […] Las ciudades hacen más fácil         &lt;br /&gt;observar, escuchar y aprender. Dado que la característica         &lt;br /&gt;fundamental de la humanidad es nuestra capacidad de aprender         &lt;br /&gt;de los demás, las ciudades nos humanizan más […] Comunicarse         &lt;br /&gt;por el ciberespacio nunca será lo mismo; nuestra especie aprende         &lt;br /&gt;sobre todo de las claves auditivas, visuales y olfativas que emiten         &lt;br /&gt;nuestros congéneres».&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Y pone un nuevo, y en este caso último, ejemplo: la Viena del XVIII, en la    &lt;br /&gt;que Haydn comunica sus ideas sinfónicas a Mozart y a Beethoven. Esas     &lt;br /&gt;cadenas de innovación artística se parecen mucho a otras más prosaicas,     &lt;br /&gt;como la que une a los bonos basura con las adquisiciones de empresas     &lt;br /&gt;mediante emisiones de deuda y los valores con respaldo hipotecario.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vp8jWc72RHc/T2jWtDBwpGI/AAAAAAAADKE/hyeGMgKGJuE/s1600-h/image%25255B9%25255D.png"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-r7b-_q4CDrs/T2jWuuj4_wI/AAAAAAAADKM/4i7Y-jKFI5A/image_thumb%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="419" height="338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_client = "pub-8380678385459752";&lt;br /&gt;/* 728x90, creado 21/10/08 */&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_slot = "2419442788";&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_width = 728;&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_height = 90;&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

The world is urbanizing at a rapid rate and this presents us with a huge political, social, economic and ecological challenge. These challenges become manifest in our cities, and it is therefore in cities where we have to build new alliances and find the answers and the solutions. The city can be the bridge to a better future, but only if it is better planned, designed and managed than it is at present. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PoNYRD5MjU4/T2DztECGDlI/AAAAAAAADJE/2DjVQm6S1KA/s1600-h/3758_2_SaoPaulo_web_02%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="3758_2_SaoPaulo_web_02" alt="3758_2_SaoPaulo_web_02" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uFgJJGSmZZ4/T2DzuP8xvSI/AAAAAAAADJM/gUuUqSJ7HEU/3758_2_SaoPaulo_web_02_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="487" border="0" height="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Making City explores future urban scenarios and, in the process, puts design first. 33 projects from over 25 global cities - ranging from New York, Paris, São Paulo, Istanbul and Delhi to Rotterdam, The Hague, Groningen and Almere - will be presented in the main exhibition Making City at the NAI in Rotterdam from 20 April to 12 August 2012. In addition, four other exhibitions will take place in Rotterdam: I / We / You Make Rotterdam on and around the Test Site Rotterdam (the Schieblock and its immediate surroundings, the Rotterdam Central District and Mini Mall area); the travelling exhibition Making Douala 2007-2013 at the Schieblock; Smart Cities - Parallel Cases 2 at the NAI; and the exhibition Design as Politics at Mini Mall organized by Delft University of Technology. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Making Almere will take place in the city of Almere while later in the year Making City exhibitions will open in Istanbul and São Paulo. The program of the 5th IABR also includes an Urban Summit and a series of conferences, debates and lectures.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;More information: www.iabr.nl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Algunas de ellas, podemos verlas en medios tan diferentes y sumamente interesantes como &lt;a href="http://www.americalearningmedia.com/component/content/article/114-opinion/681-mobile-learning-imito-o-realidad"&gt;America Learning Media&lt;/a&gt;, otra más de &lt;a href="http://www.americalearningmedia.com/component/content/article/107-tendencias/683-mobile-learning-actualidad-y-anticipos-para-el-2012"&gt;América Learning Media&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aefol.com/noticia/2012%3A_a%F1o_crucial_y_movil_%BFte_apuntas_al_cambio_positivo%3F/4983"&gt;AEFOL &lt;/a&gt;o el buen post de &lt;a href="http://www.adelat.org/index.php?title=el-mlearning-no-existe-y&amp;amp;more=1&amp;amp;c=1&amp;amp;tb=1&amp;amp;pb=1"&gt;Aníbal de la Torre&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yo mismo he hablado de ello, dos veces, en la primera publicación (ver notas en ambos links).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Una vez más, la tecnología debe estar al servicio del aprendizaje y no al revés. Hay que usar el canal mejor (sea eLearning, presencial, mLearning, podcast, etc.), bien pensado, para los contenidos que se pretende enseñar (factuales, conceptuales, procedimentales o actitudinales), los objetivos de aprendizaje, los objetivos corporativos, sin olvidar, por supuesto, los objetivos económico financieros. Y ya está. Eso hacemos y recomendamos a todos nuestros clientes de Plan Director de Formación Corporativa, proyectos, estrategia, análisis de necesidades, etc.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El mLearning será una tecnología importante y crecerá, no cabe duda, integrada en una oferta Blended. Como todas. Y si pretendemos estudiar todo en movimiento, no iremos bien porque no se puede.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En nuestra consultora, acabamos de realizar un profundo informe para una compañía global de telecomunicaciones, en el que se han tratado todos los aspectos, sectores y sub – sectores de la enseñanza virtual y la Web 2.0 (redes sociales, blogs, plataformas colaborativas y el llamado social learning, en general). En esta investigación, hemos consultado a 71 expertos de 4 continentes, realizado focus groups en Europa, Estados Unidos y África, así como compilado información de numerosos equipos de research de universidades mundialmente conocidas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Con todos estos datos, hemos realizado un gran informe confidencial (pues ha sido contratado en exclusiva por este cliente).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;¿Qué nos contaron todos estos 71 gurús, acerca del mLearning? Muy poquito, la verdad: mucho ruido y pocas nueces. No pretendo molestar a ningún lector interesado en vivir de este tema: simplemente me limito a relatar lo que nos han explicado primeras figuras mundiales en estas materias.    &lt;br /&gt;El resumen es que el mLearning en smartphones irá creciendo poco a poco, pero hoy se utiliza aún muy escasamente (por supuesto, los teléfonos inteligentes se usan muchísimo y su introducción crece exponencialmente pero no para estudiar, sino para hablar, navegar o consultar información muy breve y factual), mientras que el mLearning en tablets, gracias al gran formato de estos, es tan asimilable al eLearning y tan indisociable de él que, en numerosos estudios, se cita conjuntamente con el término ‘e/mLearning’.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Metodológicamente y desde un punto de vista riguroso, el mLearning es también muy similar al eLearning. Es un hermano menor, con menos funcionalidades, pero se nutre tanto de la enseñanza virtual para PC, que a veces no pueden diferenciarse.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://babot.info/index.php/2012/01/el-futuro-no-es-mobile-learning-es-blended-learning/" href="http://babot.info/index.php/2012/01/el-futuro-no-es-mobile-learning-es-blended-learning/"&gt;http://babot.info/index.php/2012/01/el-futuro-no-es-mobile-learning-es-blended-learning/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Jmmag POST:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En primer lugar mi mas sentido homenaje póstumo a Iñigo. Me gustaría unirme plenamente a la idea que toda restricción tecnológica es mala, me refiero a ello cuando el software o plataforma se efectúa de manera única o con un soporte obligado. Hoy en día y dado la magnitud de herramientas no solo de autor sino propiamente audiovisuales que nos habitúan a su uso en función de las múltiples circunstancias del autor u usuario, seria contraproducente marcar diferencias para exponer o formar a otros. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Por otra parte, también de acuerdo en que llamar de manera exclusiva eLearning o mLearning, incluso blenden learning es un todo, universal que no se puede detraer de la realidad. Habrá personas que les será mas útil el mLearning porque un postcast les será útil mientras viajan en el tren de cercanías todos los días hacia su trabajo. A otros hacer un test o leer un pdf necesariamente lo tendrán que hacer en su PC, por su propia selección de comodidad, necesidad, interés preferente o gusto. A mi modo de ver estamos fragmentando en exceso y ello origina una cierta incertidumbre.    &lt;br /&gt;La selección de los soportes debe ser de acuerdo a los contenidos y la inversión efectuada. Muchas veces un breve vídeo explicativo puede dar lugar a mas reflexiones que una animación que ha costado un porcentaje importante del presupuesto. Quizás la idea es fragmentar y aplicar la diversidad al objeto de que el usuario no caiga en la monotonía, pero querer sustituir una clase presencial por un simple vídeo o un pdf (ladrillo tal y como define Iñigo las infinitas paginaciones de teorías y mas teorías) es hartamente antipedagógico.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Otra cuestión seria analizar cuando es absolutamente necesaria esa presencia y para que materias es irrenunciable.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Estudie varios cursos de arquitectura en una universidad publica siendo ya un &amp;quot;chavalito&amp;quot; adulto (45 años) y pensé en las barreras de tiempo, espacio y economía de medios para gente que nos interesaba estas materias y no podíamos tener el rigor de estar atento a mil datos e intercambio de información como se daba de manera espontanea entre los miembros de una clase. Lo cierto y verdad es que la información dispersa sobre un curso de arquitectura difícilmente se podría traducir en un curso online ya que esta fragmentada hasta la saciedad y hay una especie de interés porque el estudiante busque y se informe.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Esta fragmentación e inconcreción hace que la iniciativa auto formativa en un % corresponda al estudiante y es por eso que subir a una plataforma la pedagogía de clases de arquitectura es muy trabajoso y según algunos poco pedagógico, ya que ejecución y diseño de un proyecto trata de unir partes fragmentadas y de ahí el interés en su practica. Con el riesgo arto frecuente de convertir al alumnos en un muñeco roto.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Investigando en otras metodologías pedagógicas existen modelos que son ampliamente asumibles y que aquí en España son descartables en base a que nuestro modelo es irrenunciable, es el propio, por ejemplo de Canadá o EEUU , para personas que obstan por trabajar mientras estudian, que se basa en el blended learning y el ejercicio profesional en practicas en un despacho de un arquitecto. Es un modelo triple, por un lado la constante formación online, por otra la presencial a través de work-shops y la propia practica real en un despacho. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El modelo aunque pueda parecer revolucionario, es el mismo que se produce en el sector de la arquitectura en España pero de manera extraoficial y piramidal. Es decir, a los estudiantes se les hace trabajar en estudios a precio de saldo y sin regulación especifica, aprovechando los patrones de los jóvenes estudiantes en sus mejores años mas productivos y mas creativos a precios de semi esclavitud, después el soporte de la escuelas de arquitectura, que se asemejan a la cultura heredada de los cuarteles, hace que los estudiantes no puedan atender la pedagogía de las clases y se tienda a crear un hartazgo, por la materias reiterativas, improductivas o retoricas; finalmente la parte presencial -a no ser que hayas tenido mucha suerte- se produce entre un profesor con falta de vocación que se siente igualmente &amp;quot;puteado&amp;quot; por el sueldo de risa que le pagan por dar esa clase.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El caldo de cultivo en este ejemplo esta servido para provocar un circulo vicioso, si a esto le unimos que la única forma de ser punta de lanza social (para ser intermediario entre el conocimiento y el usuario) para el aprendiz es investigando. Para ello hace falta inversión y que la mayoría de los presupuestos se hacen para llegar a conclusiones vanas en equipos que no provocan el mas mínimo interés nacional ni internacional (hay excepciones), entonces nos daremos cuenta de que los mecanismos siguen sin funcionar...y la única salida sería la educación privada por fracaso de la publica....&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ya hay una iniciativa de la &lt;a href="http://www.nebrija.com/carreras-universitarias/arquitectura/online.htm" target="_blank"&gt;U. Nebrija&lt;/a&gt; para implantar el &lt;a href="http://www.nebrija.com/carreras-universitarias/arquitectura/online.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Grado de Arquitectura&lt;/a&gt; en blended learning, algo que hasta hace poco y de modo genérico se consideraba imposible. Creo que es un buen laboratorio para investigar los cambios que se avecinan y las posibilidades amplias en un sector considerado limitado hasta hace poco.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_client = "pub-8380678385459752";&lt;br /&gt;/* 728x90, creado 21/10/08 */&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_slot = "2419442788";&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_width = 728;&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_height = 90;&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_client = "pub-8380678385459752";&lt;br /&gt;/* 728x90, creado 21/10/08 */&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_slot = "2419442788";&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_width = 728;&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_height = 90;&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Los proyectos han quedado en suspenso, los despidos han sido implacables y la industria estancada nos puso a todos en el borde. Dejando a un lado los datos te darás cuenta de que, independientemente de la economía, trabajamos en la industria que sigue siendo admirado en todo el mundo. Extrañamente, admirado por casi todos, menos por las mismas personas que la crean. Este Día de San Valentín es el momento para nosotros para volver a enamorarse. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Deja el café por un momento y pasar unos minutos recordándose a sí mismo porqué te gusta la arquitectura y, si te sientes tan atrevido, que el mundo lo sepa. Podría tratarse de un edificio en el que trabajé, un cliente que te hizo pensar de manera diferente o una comunidad que ha ayudado a transformar. Podría ser el trabajo de un compañero practicante o tal vez un gran espacio que te inspiró para convertirte en la persona que eres hoy. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yo lo sabía cuando tenía seis años de edad. Cuando era niño solía deambular por los confines sombríos del sur de Londres, de vez en cuando abandonaba la escuela para descubrir las bien pensadas estructuras y espacios públicos que dieron vida a una comunidad. Una década más tarde, mientras que trabajaba en mi primera empresa, me enamoré con el proceso y los obstáculos enormes que tardaba en convertir un sueño a la realidad. En los últimos años noventa mi carrera dio un giro a la izquierda y en los últimos trece años he sido parte de un movimiento centrado en la participación de los conocimientos y la experiencia de la industria para las comunidades menos favorecidas. Todos los días se llegan a verme arquitectos, ingenieros y constructores que trabajamos juntos en la configuración del entorno para el mejoramiento de los demás. A pesar de que algunos en nuestra profesión, dicen que no es trabajo fácil, pero es fácil saber porqué mis arquitectos le encanta la arquitectura. Ellos lo ven todos los días y gracias a ellos, igual que yo. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En la profesión de la arquitectura muy pocos de nosotros llega a perforar el cielo con nuestras creaciones, o la oportunidad de galvanizar a la comunidad después de la tragedia o la lucha. La mayoría trabaja en los lugares en los que viven y pasan la mayor parte de nuestras carreras tratando de dar forma a ese ambiente. Nos importa un bledo pulgadas y más sobre el impacto. Un verdadero profesional saben cuando han hecho un gran trabajo y sigue a comprometerse a nuevos niveles de logro. En las raras ocasiones se llega a ser parte de un edificio que despierta el deseo y la admiración en los corazones y las mentes de nuestros semejantes. Esa es la esencia del arquitecto.    &lt;br /&gt;Así que hoy, hay que dar un paso atrás para darse cuenta lo que es el trabajo increíble que tenemos. Un arquitecto no es un artista, sino un optimismo realista. Trabajar con un número diverso de partes interesadas, el arquitecto necesita los extractos, la preocupación, y los sueños, para crear una solución bonita pero tangible que sea amada por los usuarios y la comunidad en general. Nuestro trabajo tiene la capacidad para llevar a cabo vidas de miles de millones, y en lugar de cínicamente la lucha contra uno con el otro para el 1% permite trabajar juntos para restaurar el orgullo de la profesión y encontrar formas de llevar un gran diseño para los siete millones de personas en todo ese tiempo para grandes espacios para vivir, trabajar y jugar. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Para los próximos 4 meses que está ejecutando la campaña &amp;quot;I Love Arquitectura&amp;quot; y espero que pueda unirse a nosotros. Mi nombre es Cameron y me encanta la arquitectura.    &lt;br /&gt;Saludos, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cameron Sinclair    &lt;br /&gt;Co-fundador y eterno optimista Jefe de Arquitectura para la Humanidad.     &lt;br /&gt;ilovearchitecture.org     &lt;br /&gt;# Ilovearchitecture&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿Qué puede hacer?&lt;/strong&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;1.

Si realmente se preocupan por la arquitectura, entonces ayudar a elevar la conversación y unirse a una creciente lista de embajadores. Regístrate enviando un correo electrónico con Kristen Schlott, nuestro embajador del proyecto curatorial y Cupido.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It has been a tough time for the profession. Projects have been put on hold, layoffs have been unrelenting and a stagnant industry has put us all on edge. Putting aside the data you’ll realize that regardless of the economy we work in the one industry that continues to be admired the world over. Strangely, admired by almost everyone except by the very people that create it. This Valentine’s Day it is time for us to fall in love again.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Put down the coffee for a moment and spend minutes reminding yourself why you love architecture and, if you feel so bold, let the world know. It could be a building you worked on, a client who made you think differently or a community you’ve helped to transform. It could be the work of a fellow practitioner or perhaps a great space that inspired you to become the person you are today.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I knew when I was six years old. As a kid I used to wander off from the bleak concrete confines of South London, even occasionally ditch school to discover well thought out structures and public spaces that brought life to a community. A decade later while interning for my first firm, I became enamored with the process and the huge hurdles it took to turn a dream to reality. In the late Nineties my career took a left turn and for the past thirteen years I’ve been part of a movement focused on engaging the expertise and experience of the industry for those less fortunate and in communities similar to the one I was brought up in. Every day I get to see architects, engineers and builders working together shaping the environment for the betterment of others. Despite what some in our profession say it is not easy work but it is easy to tell why my architects love architecture. They see it every day and thanks to them, so do I.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the profession of architecture very few of us get to pierce the skies with our creations or get the opportunity to galvanize a community after tragedy or strife. The majority work in the places we live and spend the better part of our careers trying to shape that environment. We care less about inches and more about impact. A true professional know when they have done a great job and continues to push themselves to new levels of achievement. On the rare occasion we get to be apart of a building that stirs desire and wonderment in the hearts and minds of our fellow man. That is the essence of the architect.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So today, take a step back to realize what an incredible job we have. An architect is not an artist but an optimistic realist. Working with a diverse number of stakeholders, the architect extracts need, concern, and dreams, to create a beautiful yet tangible solution that is loved by the users and the community at large. Our work has the ability to effect the lives of billions and rather than cynically fighting with each other for the 1% lets work together to restore the pride of the profession and find ways to bring great design for the seven billion people that long for great spaces to live, work and play.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For the next 4 months we are running an &lt;a href="http://mkto-i0141.com/track?type=click&amp;amp;enid=bWFpbGluZ2lkPWFyY2hpdGVjdHVyZWZvcmh1bWFuaXR5QmV0YWN1c3QtMTMxMC04NDMtMC0xNTM2LXByb2QtMjY1NyZtZXNzYWdlaWQ9MCZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTI2NTcmc2VyaWFsPTEyNjQ5OTY5ODMmZW1haWxpZD1idXNxdWVkYXgyNUBob3RtYWlsLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9MzgyNjMyLTMmZXh0cmE9JiYm&amp;amp;&amp;amp;&amp;amp;http://architectureforhumanity.org/node/www.ilovearchitecture.org?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonuK3JZKXonjHpfsX74%2B4rWqWg38431UFwdcjKPmjr1YIET8R0dvycMRAVFZl5nQ1KGeicaIVD7uBPDke9SjPqjaDUZplX"&gt;“I Love Architecture”&lt;/a&gt; Campaign and I hope you can join us.

The meeting was attended &lt;strong&gt;for the first time&lt;/strong&gt; by the representatives of &lt;strong&gt;Kosovo&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Kuwait&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Peru&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The title chosen by &lt;a href="http://www.creactivistas.com/2012/02/venezia-13th-international-architecture.html" target="_blank"&gt;David Chipperfield&lt;/a&gt; for the 13th International Architecture Exhibition is: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Common Ground&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;“I want this Biennale to celebrate a vital, interconnected architectural culture, and pose questions about the intellectual and physical territories that it shares. In the methods of selection of participants, my Biennale will encourage the collaboration and dialogue that I believe is at the heart of architecture, and the title will also serve as a metaphor for architecture's field of activity.    &lt;br /&gt;I am interested in the things that architects share in common, from the conditions of the practice of architecture to the influences, collaborations, histories and affinities that frame and contextualise our work. I want to take the opportunity of the Biennale to reinforce our understanding of architectural culture, and to emphasise the philosophical and practical continuities that define it.    &lt;br /&gt;The title ‘Common Ground’ also has a strong connotation of the ground between buildings, the spaces of the city. I want projects in the Biennale to look seriously at the meanings of the spaces made by buildings: the political, social, and public realms of which architecture is a part. I do not want to lose the subject of architecture in a morass of sociological, psychological or artistic speculation, but to try to develop the understanding of the distinct contribution that architecture can make in defining the common ground of the city.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This theme is a deliberate act of resistance towards the image of architecture propagated in much of today's media of projects springing fully formed from the minds of individual talents. I wish to promote the fact that architecture is internally connected, intellectually and practically, sharing common concerns, influences and intentions.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My method of selecting architects will reinforce the theme by making collaboration and dialogue fundamental to the Biennale. We will invite contributors to make a proposals for exhibits or installations but also ask them to propose others they want to collaborate with. In this way, the initial selection by the curatorial team is complemented by a further series of relationships initiated by selected architects. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The proposed dialogues will hopefully cross boundaries of age, style, geography and discipline. They also might identify the critical roles of other parts of architectural culture: the media, research institutions, schools, publishers, galleries, foundations and so on. The results, I hope, will use every available medium to tell stories about the common ground of the profession, and of the city.    &lt;br /&gt;My intention is to make neither an exclusive selection of projects on the basis of prejudice and taste, nor an uncritically inclusive exhibition. We wish to give the participants an opportunity to explain work within the wider context of architectural practice, not only as a demonstration of their own talent, but also to unite us in defining our ambitions and responsibilities.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“By appointing Kazuyo Sejima we brought the Exhibition back into the hands of an architect – President &lt;strong&gt;Paolo Baratta&lt;/strong&gt; has said – and we are now so lucky to have David Chipperfield with us. The Biennale exhibitions in recent years had broadened the representation of architecture by emphasizing its connections with a series of big social, urban, environmental and political ‘issues’. So it appeared useful to turn to an architect who demonstrates great interest in architecture as a discipline and raises questions about the elements of which it is composed, about the objectives it pursues, about the constraints that affect it, about the tools that it uses to shape places, spaces, buildings. The next Architecture Exhibition will be characterized by the emphasis on a series of relationships that connect great architects and younger generations that refer to them. This Exhibition will represent a major opportunity to bring both the general public and the world of architecture up to date. This is also why it has already begun to organize the program involving Universities from all around the world, titled &lt;strong&gt;Biennale Sessions&lt;/strong&gt;, successfully tested during the last edition of the Exhibition.”     &lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;13th International Architecture Exhibition&lt;/strong&gt; of the Biennale di Venezia will also present, as is traditional, the &lt;strong&gt;National Participations&lt;/strong&gt; with their own exhibitions in the Pavilions at the Giardini and at the Arsenale, and in the historic city centre of Venice.    &lt;br /&gt;This edition will also include selected &lt;strong&gt;Collateral Events&lt;/strong&gt;, presented by international entities and institutions, which will present their exhibitions and initiatives in Venice concurrently with the 13th Exhibition. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe style="width: 653px; height: 413px" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D9ZfixLwAUE" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

En este espacio se reúnen en forma de trabajo en cooworking un grupo de profesionales, artesanos, diseñadores y creativos en Sevilla. Entre ellos hay arquitectos, diseñadores, cocineros, encuadernadores y un largo etc.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mi debilidad por la películas Argentinas me viene de mis tiempos en el año 97 en Buenos Aires y siempre pensé que el cine que allí se fragua es enormemente creativo y si se quiere con un ratio calidad-presupuesto inmejorable. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El hombre de al lado narra un conflicto entre vecinos que parece no tener fin. Una simple pared medianera puede dividir dos mundos, dos maneras de vestir, de comer, de vivir. De un lado Leonardo (Rafael Spregelburd), fino y prestigioso diseñador que vive en una casa realizada por Le Corbusier. Del otro lado Víctor (Daniel Aráoz), vendedor de coches usados, vulgar, rústico y avasallador. Víctor decide hacer una ventana para tener más luz, y ahí empieza el problema: cada uno toma conciencia de la existencia del otro.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Esta sencilla premisa, cuyo significado es más que evidente, da pie a un interesante estudio de las diferencias entre dos personalidades muy marcadas&lt;/strong&gt; y de cómo una insignificancia puede trastocar la vida de algunas personas, acostumbradas a tenerlo todo, hasta el punto de no permitirles continuar con normalidad con su existencia. Una crítica contra el autoaislamiento, el elitismo y el inmovilismo se deja ver sin disimulos a través de esta película, tan minimalista como la decoración que su protagonista propugna, que es más una situación que una historia. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cz5VMSvZECs/TxFa0SGThJI/AAAAAAAADAE/mg77DkaUugc/s1600-h/cultureta%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="cultureta" border="0" alt="cultureta" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SYAeMVqT8QY/TxFa1ffz6ZI/AAAAAAAADAI/p8LPHZ2Nk9c/cultureta_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="441" height="251" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Dario nos remitió un texto muy interesante con el objeto de centrar el debate posterior: La casa bella, estética, identidad, poder y distorsión de metas en la vivienda social. Del libro de Victor Saul Pelli. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En “La casa bella” se exhiben las relaciones entre estética, identidad y poder en torno a la vivienda de interés social. Se afirma el derecho del habitante a ser partícipe directo de la definición de su vivienda, incluyendo la definición estética. Se plantea superar el rol del arquitecto diseñador de firma o para la fotografía de la obra, por uno en que la relación personalizada y horizontal con el habitante enriquezcan el resultado final del trabajo, avanzando en la construcción de equidad en las decisiones sobre calidad de la vivienda, incluyendo en este caso, las expresiones estéticas. &lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;Este libro es un conjunto de trabajos desarrollados desde los años 90, sobre ideas que son clave para encarar el problema habitacional de los sectores en situación de pobreza estructural, con las características con que se presenta en Argentina desde aproximadamente mediados del siglo XX.    &lt;br /&gt;¿Hasta qué punto la noción convencional de vivienda es adecuada para internarse en el problema? Está muy lejos de ser un juego intelectual, más bien se trata de intentar ver las ideas clave con rasgos más auténticos y fiables. Complementariamente, una convicción bien arraigada fue llevando a incorporar los criterios que conceden espacios jerarquizados a los habitantes, en todos los pasos de la gestión de solución de sus necesidades; en este caso las habitacionales.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;Esta obra, lejos de plantearse como una aproximación imparcial, es una exploración desde una toma de posición sobre el papel que juega la producción del hábitat en la construcción o en la reconstrucción de la relación entre los que carecen de vivienda adecuada y la sociedad en su conjunto. Desde esta posición, el abordaje del problema habitacional se desplaza desde la idea convencional de &amp;quot;provisión de casas&amp;quot;, e incluso desde la más amplia de &amp;quot;provisión de vivienda&amp;quot;, hacia la idea de generación de acciones y de obras que conduzcan a una inserción armónica, incluyente y equitativa de la gente en la ciudad y en el conjunto social. Este libro intenta ser un aporte en esa dirección. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe style="width: 649px; height: 404px" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/s-rRi9Lc6p0" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tramallol&lt;/strong&gt; engloba a gente que tiene todo en común, menos su trabajo. &lt;strong&gt;Encuadernación artesanal, cocina, literatura, diseño, costura, arquitectura, elaboración de pasta, flamenco, editorial, traducción, catering, programación... todo unido en un solo espacio y un mismo proyecto&lt;/strong&gt;. Es &lt;strong&gt;una cooperativa de iniciativas profesionales interconectadas&lt;/strong&gt; en un espacio de 528 metros cuadrados. Es &lt;strong&gt;un lugar para actividades híbridas&lt;/strong&gt;, para fomentar las tareas de cada cual desde el apoyo mutuo levantando un lugar a la medida de nuestras necesidades y a la altura de nuestros deseos. Todo tiene cabida: un concierto de campanas de sol a sol, una reunión de la red de decrecimiento, el diseño de un puerto, cursos de cocina, tres días de música loca-l, clases de libros cosidos a la española, una cena secreta, un concurso de arquitectura, la filosofía del quinto pino&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.tramallol.es/index.html" href="http://www.tramallol.es/index.html"&gt;http://www.tramallol.es/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;iframe style="width: 643px; height: 391px" height="300" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/25340643?title=0&amp;amp;byline=0&amp;amp;portrait=0" frameborder="0" width="400" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Tras la proyección tomamos unas estupendas tapas elaboradas de manera artesanal y recién salidas del horno.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-It6uyaf8HrE/TxFbXuTNkoI/AAAAAAAADDU/EELZVDW2xrE/s1600-h/IMGP0002%25255B5%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMGP0002" border="0" alt="IMGP0002" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-X8jjtKjpSpg/TxFbYbnv3EI/AAAAAAAADDc/oVOMxPuvwjM/IMGP0002_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="263" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_client = "pub-8380678385459752";&lt;br /&gt;/* 728x90, creado 21/10/08 */&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_slot = "2419442788";&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_width = 728;&lt;br /&gt;google_ad_height = 90;&lt;br /&gt;//--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Trends and developments, and the impact of the digital world and&amp;#160; the world of media will be discussed. This conference will provide a platform for the interdisciplinary&amp;#160; exchange of technology and ideas, and can hence be classed as unique. Renowned speakers have&amp;#160; been contacted, many of whom have already confirmed their participation. These include: Bjarke&amp;#160; Ingels, founder of the BIG Group; Lidweij Edelkoort, world-famous trend researcher, Assaf Biderman,&amp;#160; Associated Director of the SENSEable City Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology;&amp;#160; Jürgen Mayer H., Jürgen Mayer H. architects; Dr. Alexander Rieck from the Fraunhofer Institute IAO;&amp;#160; Steve Rogers, Director UX EMEA and Emerging Markets / Google; and Sebastian Raßmann from&amp;#160; Trendone.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;ACFX - the name embraces themes which offer a glimpse into the future. Lectures and discussions on megacities and their development, on trend research with regard to communication, on design,&amp;#160; working environments and buildings, the creativity of innovative start-ups and on future lifestyles with&amp;#160; regard to travel, work and the home will give insights into the paradigm shift in the field of architecture - one which is imminent and unavoidable in the light of innovative networking technology. The ACFX&amp;#160; conference is organised by ap35 GmbH, an architecture management and relationship marketing&amp;#160; agency based in Ulm / Germany.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In a galaxy far, far, away……NO! The future is NOW!    &lt;br /&gt;Our world is fast-paced. Much - including architecture - is changing with breath-taking speed, and&amp;#160; rarely do we anticipate in which direction trends and developments will turn. This first ACFX&amp;#160; conference offers an opportunity to profit from the knowledge and work of experts and eminent&amp;#160; authorities, to talk with them and look to the future together. A wide range of subjects will be covered by this conference: from megacities and trend research to start-up ideas and future home, life and&amp;#160; work trends. Furthermore, the conference aims to show how the internet and the digital world can be&amp;#160; put to optimal use and integrated into strategies. To date, these channels have rarely been made use&amp;#160; of in architecture, even though they open up a whole realm of possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;MEGACITIES | URBAN ENVIRONMENT    &lt;br /&gt;How do cities develop in relation to exploding populations? What will happen in the future to the city centres of today? Will they remain in place - or will they have to go? What will the infrastructure look&amp;#160; like? Lectures by Assaf Biderman on the subject of the development and spread of megacities, by Dr.&amp;#160; Wolfgang Keßling, who explores the climatic aspects, techniques and geographical environments of&amp;#160; contemporary building, and by Jürgen Mayer H., winner of the Audi Urban Future Awards, will offer&amp;#160; answers to these questions.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;TREND RESEARCH    &lt;br /&gt;What will the architectural trends of the future look like? Which materials will be implemented? Will I&amp;#160; be able to operate my computer telepathically - or maybe even use apps to market my products more successfully? Such questions will be answered by Lidewij Edelkoort (among others), a world renown trend researcher. Li Edelkoort produces trend books which - boasting forecasts for two years – are&amp;#160; used as design tools by strategists, designers and those responsible for marketing international brands. In addition, Sebastian Raßmann from Trendone will be showing how brands can be&amp;#160; communicated to consumers at lightning speed using various channels. Robert Miles Kemp, president of Variate Labs, will present examples of his interactive architecture and show just how&amp;#160; futuristic his daily routine already is.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;START UPS    &lt;br /&gt;Networks are the key to success. Frederike Vos demonstrates just this with ‘The Hub’, an office&amp;#160; concept which she co-developed and which is already to be found on every continent in a total of 28&amp;#160; cities: the world as a workplace. And then there’s Florian Gschwandtner, who will be presenting his&amp;#160; fitness platform ‘runtastic’ and the potential of an app: how to motivate his platform users to actively&amp;#160; shape and improve his own product. Gschwandtner tells us how it’s done.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;FUTURE WORKING &amp;amp; LIVING    &lt;br /&gt;The final block will be headed by experts who grapple with the homes, life and work of the future.     &lt;br /&gt;These include Bjarke Ingels, who gets to grips with the evolution of architecture with methods,&amp;#160; processes and tools, and Dr. Alexander Rieck from the Fraunhofer Institute, who has not only&amp;#160; developed the hotel room of the future, but who also regards the working world of the 21st century as&amp;#160; a hot topic. Plus Steve Rogers, Director UX EMEA and Emerging Markets / Google, who’ll be lecturing&amp;#160; on the orientation of the internet and all the potential this boasts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The conference invites participants to discover more about architectural trends and urban&amp;#160; developments, and about new ideas and the potential of the digital world.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To find out more about the individual speakers, the programme and event partners or to register,&amp;#160; please see &lt;a href="http://www.acf-conference.com"&gt;www.acf-conference.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3EShHWtNr6o/TusC_zfbNZI/AAAAAAAAC-Q/6PlnyIl-KhI/s1600-h/image%25255B2%25255D.png"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AQ8_qfdFIRs/TusDAqqAg6I/AAAAAAAAC-Y/3Cj7yp7AsvE/image_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="204" height="106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Brasil es sin lugar a dudas uno de los principales países emergentes de principios del s.XXI, y cuenta con un ambicioso plan de desarrollo que le permitirá seguir creciendo de forma sostenible y ecológica.    &lt;br /&gt;La transformación de Río ya ha comenzado y la ciudad se prepara para recibir millones de personas a raíz de los eventos deportivos más grandes del mundo, el mundial de futbol de 2014 y los juegos olímpicos de Río 2016.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;EMPLAZAMIENTO    &lt;br /&gt;El solar elegido para el desarrollo de este proyecto se ubica en un punto privilegiado de Ipanema, uno de los barrios más representativos y vanguardistas de Río de Janeiro. Famoso por sus playas y su paseo marítimo, es uno de los barrios más adelantados de Río y con la clara voluntad de apostar por el desarrollo sostenible. En este contexto, la inserción de los vehículos eléctricos y la creación de la nueva red de recarga cuenta con mayores posibilidades de aceptación y éxito de las que tendría en cualquier otro barrio de la ciudad.    &lt;br /&gt;El stcRIO se ubica en una posición estratégica en Ipanema, entre la playa y la plaza Gral Osorio. La plaza es el punto de llegada a Ipanema desde el centro (L1) y el inicio de la linea de metro que llegará a la zona olímpica de Barra de Tijuca (L4). El stcRIO actúa como punto de quiebre entre el centro y la nueva parte sur de la ciudad: RÍO2016.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;PROPUESTA   &lt;br /&gt;stcRIO propone una fuerte apuesta de la ciudad con la introducción de vehículos eléctricos, convirtiéndolos en el medio de transporte estándar para sus habitantes y educándolos indirectamente en materia de sostenibilidad.    &lt;br /&gt;La apuesta irá encabezada por la creación de la infraestructura necesaria para extender una red de puntos de recarga para vehículos eléctricos (o electrolineras)por su área metropolitana. El stcRIO será un centro de operaciones para esta nueva infraestructura desde donde se controlará el estado y funcionamiento de toda la red.    &lt;br /&gt;El objetivo global de esta nueva apuesta no es sólo el de renovar y actualizar el parque automotor, sino algo mucho más ambicioso como es lograr la integración total de la red de recarga con las demás redes de transporte público de la ciudad, creando una red de transporte eficiente y dinámica que permita a los usuaríos desplazarse de un barrío a otro de la ciudad de forma rápida, segura y eficaz, haciendo uso de los distintos medios a su disposición.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La convocatoria es pública y está abierta a todos los estudiantes de grado y postgrado, así como a jóvenes profesionales con 5 años de experiencia o menos&lt;/strong&gt;, tanto de Arquitectura como de ramas relacionadas; Ingeniería, Urbanismo, Diseño, etc. que puedan acreditar mediante algún documento oficial (matricula, carnet de estudiante, título etc.) que el día en que da comienzo el concurso cumplen con las condiciones previamente mencionadas.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Jurado:         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;El jurado contará con la presencia de los siguientes miembros:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Presidente del jurado &lt;strong&gt;Sergi Balaguer (Alonso-Balaguer asociados)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Arquitecto y Urbanista:&lt;strong&gt; Adolf Sotoca&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Arquitecta local: &lt;strong&gt;Verena Andreatta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Especialista movilidad: &lt;strong&gt;Manel Herce&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Premios: &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;1800 Euros en Efectivo &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Publicación en la revistas WA y Vitruvius &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Exposición en IaaC (Institut d’arquitectura avanzada de Catalunya)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Calendario:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;19 febrero 2012&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Finaliza el periodo de inscripción&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;29 febrero 2012&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Fecha límite de entrega de propuestas&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Las bases completas las podrás encontrar en este link:   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://stcenters.com/documents/stcRIO/stcRIO_ES.pdf"&gt;http://stcenters.com/documents/stcRIO/stcRIO_ES.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;y &lt;a title="http://es.stcenters.com/" href="http://es.stcenters.com/"&gt;http://es.stcenters.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;y &lt;a title="http://www.es.archmedium.com/" href="http://www.es.archmedium.com/"&gt;http://www.es.archmedium.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

ArchMedium es un proyecto dedicado a la organización de concursos para estudiantes que cuenta con la colaboración de la Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya y la Escola técnica superior d’ arquitectura de Barcelona ETSAB. INTRODUCCIÓN La contaminación es un problema que afecta a todos los países del mundo, pero sobre todo a las grandes metrópolis a raíz de la gran concentración de vehículos de combustión en áreas relativamente reducidas. Brasil es sin lugar a dudas uno de los principales países emergentes de principios del s.XXI, y cuenta con un ambicioso plan de desarrollo que le permitirá seguir creciendo de forma sostenible y ecológica. La transformación de Río ya ha comenzado y la ciudad se prepara para recibir millones de personas a raíz de los eventos deportivos más grandes del mundo, el mundial de futbol de 2014 y los juegos olímpicos de Río 2016. EMPLAZAMIENTO El solar elegido para el desarrollo de este proyecto se ubica en un punto privilegiado de Ipanema, uno de los barrios más representativos y vanguardistas de Río de Janeiro. Famoso por sus playas y su paseo marítimo, es uno de los barrios más adelantados de Río y con la clara voluntad de apostar por el desarrollo sostenible. En este contexto, la inserción de los vehículos eléctricos y la creación de la nueva red de recarga cuenta con mayores posibilidades de aceptación y éxito de las que tendría en cualquier otro barrio de la ciudad. El stcRIO se ubica en una posición estratégica en Ipanema, entre la playa y la plaza Gral Osorio. La plaza es el punto de llegada a Ipanema desde el centro (L1) y el inicio de la linea de metro que llegará a la zona olímpica de Barra de Tijuca (L4). El stcRIO actúa como punto de quiebre entre el centro y la nueva parte sur de la ciudad: RÍO2016. PROPUESTA stcRIO propone una fuerte apuesta de la ciudad con la introducción de vehículos eléctricos, convirtiéndolos en el medio de transporte estándar para sus habitantes y educándolos indirectamente en materia de sostenibilidad. La apuesta irá encabezada por la creación de la infraestructura necesaria para extender una red de puntos de recarga para vehículos eléctricos (o electrolineras)por su área metropolitana. El stcRIO será un centro de operaciones para esta nueva infraestructura desde donde se controlará el estado y funcionamiento de toda la red. El objetivo global de esta nueva apuesta no es sólo el de renovar y actualizar el parque automotor, sino algo mucho más ambicioso como es lograr la integración total de la red de recarga con las demás redes de transporte público de la ciudad, creando una red de transporte eficiente y dinámica que permita a los usuaríos desplazarse de un barrío a otro de la ciudad de forma rápida, segura y eficaz, haciendo uso de los distintos medios a su disposición. La convocatoria es pública y está abierta a todos los estudiantes de grado y postgrado, así como a jóvenes profesionales con 5 años de experiencia o menos, tanto de Arquitectura como de ramas relacionadas; Ingeniería, Urbanismo, Diseño, etc. que puedan acreditar mediante algún documento oficial (matricula, carnet de estudiante, título etc.) que el día en que da comienzo el concurso cumplen con las condiciones previamente mencionadas.

Attracting entries from internationally renowned practices to small local architects, the stellar quality of this year’s designs demonstrates their commitment to designing the world’s most exciting buildings. This year we’ve attracted more entries than ever before, with more than 700 submissions from 66 different countries. Our congratulations go to the winners for truly accomplished projects.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;All the WAF Award category winners will go head to head on Friday 4th November as they present their projects and compete for the highest accolades in global architecture, which will be decided by a 'super-jury'¹ of some of the world's most influential architectural and urban designers, led by the distinguished Michael Sorkin. They will cast their votes to decide the World Building of the Year 2011, Structural Project of the Year 2011 and Future Project of the Year 2011.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The WAF Awards day two winners are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;World Shopping Building of the Year&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Decameron, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Studio MK27, Brazil&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The showroom of the Decameron furniture store is located on a rented site in the furniture commercial alley in São Paulo.

The 90m² building, which features a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ct7tMqWKS-M/TrT3ZSdDdWI/AAAAAAAABgI/boIdgFWbFAo/s1600-h/Norweigen%252520Wild%252520Reindeer%252520Pavillion_Sweden_Snohetta%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Norweigen Wild Reindeer Pavillion_Sweden_Snohetta" border="0" alt="Norweigen Wild Reindeer Pavillion_Sweden_Snohetta" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_nw8CXiGfBw/TrT3bwZl2vI/AAAAAAAABgQ/6jb4id6-eDY/Norweigen%252520Wild%252520Reindeer%252520Pavillion_Sweden_Snohetta_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="662" height="287" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;World Health Building of the Year&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendaal,Arnhem, Netherlands, Architectenbureau Koen van Velsen, Netherlands&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the undulating forest landscape around Arnhem in the eastern part of the Netherlands, revalidation centre ‘Groot Klimmendaal’ can be found standing as a quiet deer in between trees. From a small footprint, the building gradually fans out towards the top and cantilevers out over the surrounding terrain. The care concept is based on the idea that a positive and stimulating environment increases the well-being of patients and has a beneficial effect on their revalidation process. The design ambition was not to create a centre with the appearance of a health building but a building as a part of its surroundings and the community.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UlIAlf98_E0/TrRdmWa7q2I/AAAAAAAABdI/r46D3MU9Jds/s1600-h/Architectenbureau%252520Koen%252520Velsen_Rehabilitation%252520Centre%252520Groot%252520Klimmendal_Netherlands%2525202%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Architectenbureau Koen Velsen_Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendal_Netherlands 2" border="0" alt="Architectenbureau Koen Velsen_Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendal_Netherlands 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Pcox9sSJy-s/TrRdntHvtBI/AAAAAAAABdQ/lXwa42l-MSk/Architectenbureau%252520Koen%252520Velsen_Rehabilitation%252520Centre%252520Groot%252520Klimmendal_Netherlands%2525202_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="658" height="439" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;World Housing Building of the Year&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;8 House,Copenhagen, Denmark, Bjarke Ingels Group, Denmark&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With spectacular views towards the Copenhagen Canal and over Kalvebod Fælled’s protected open spaces, 8 House will not only be offering residences to people in all of life’s stages as well as office spaces to the city’s business and trade - it will also serve as a house that allows people to cycle all the way from the ground floor to the top, moving alongside townhouses with gardens winding through an urban perimeter block.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ThRsq87hl3k/TrRdpFd9ycI/AAAAAAAABdY/NoJb6fqoKTA/s1600-h/Bjarke%252520Ingels%252520Group_8House_Denkmark_1%25255B4%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Bjarke Ingels Group_8House_Denkmark_1" border="0" alt="Bjarke Ingels Group_8House_Denkmark_1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-JGgWdrsILOw/TrRdp2r_QrI/AAAAAAAABdg/0k_b81Aq0qo/Bjarke%252520Ingels%252520Group_8House_Denkmark_1_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="651" height="431" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Future Project of the Year – Commercial&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wadi Rum Resort, Jordan, Oppenheim Architecture + Design, USA&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A unique luxury accommodation where desert sand meets desert stone, engaging with the landscape with nominal impact and primal elegance.

With airfield infrastructure consuming nearly all the available land our concept of a “floating terminal” has been selected by the Government for its innovative, exciting and eco-friendly approach. The proposed terminal is built entirely on stilts over water without reclamation to preserve the existing environment and the natural coastline.

Among the unique wildlife at Dovrefjell, the Musk Oxen herds are probably the main attractions for visitors. A long history filled with travellers, hunting traditions, mining, and military activities has left its mark on this land. In addition to the natural and cultural landscape, the Dovre mountain range also holds significant importance in the Norwegian consciousness. National legends, myths, poetry (Ibsen), music (Grieg), and pilgrimages celebrate the mystic and eternal qualities of this powerful place. The founding fathers of the Norwegian constitution are ”agreed and faithful, until the fall of Dovre!”    &lt;br /&gt;This unique natural, cultural and mythical landscape has formed the basis of the architectural idea. The building design is based on a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core. Reminiscent of rock or ice eroded by wind and running water, the south facing exterior wall and the interior create a protected and warm gathering place, while still preserving the visitor’s view of the spectacular natural panorama.    &lt;br /&gt;Considerable emphasis is put on the quality and durability of the materials to withstand the harsh climate. The rectangular frame is made in raw steel resembling the iron ore found in the local bedrock. Over time the rusted colour blends with the natural colours in the sourrounding mountains.    &lt;br /&gt;The simple form and use of natural materials reference local building traditions.     &lt;br /&gt;However, advanced technologies have been utilized both in the design and the fabrication process. Using 3D computer models to drive the milling machines, Norwegian shipbuilders in Hardangerfjord have created the organic forms from 10 inch square pine beams. The wood was then assembled in a traditional way using only wood pegs as fasteners. The exterior wall was then treated with pine tar while the interior wood has been oiled.    &lt;br /&gt;The pavilion is a robust yet nuanced building that gives visitors an opportunity to reflect and contemplate this vast and rich landscape.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:66721397-FF69-4ca6-AEC4-17E6B3208830:16681dea-8a40-4dd3-8217-fe5550412326" class="wlWriterSmartContent"&gt;&lt;table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='outline:none;border-style:none;margin:0px;padding:0px;width:594px;border-collapse:collapse;'&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style='margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:none;border-style:none;width:auto'&gt;&lt;a style="outline:none;border-style:none;margin:0px;padding:0px;" target="_blank" href="https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=3d5a84c65467136b&amp;amp;page=play&amp;amp;resid=3D5A84C65467136B!861&amp;amp;type=5&amp;amp;authkey=vKsqu*Qy2mk%24&amp;amp;Bsrc=Photomail&amp;amp;Bpub=SDX.Photos"&gt;&lt;img style="outline:none;border-style:none;padding:0px;margin:0px;border:0px;background:none;background-image:none;vertical-align:bottom;" alt="Ver &amp;aacute;lbum" title="Ver &amp;aacute;lbum" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zgQEsEY7v_g/TrL8tyeVk1I/AAAAAAAABcc/DerQwR_Tf6c/album%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style='width:594px;text-align:center;overflow:visible;padding:0px;margin:0px;'&gt;                                            &lt;div style='width:594px;overflow:visible;'&gt;&lt;a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=3d5a84c65467136b&amp;amp;page=browse&amp;amp;resid=3D5A84C65467136B!861&amp;amp;type=5&amp;amp;authkey=vKsqu*Qy2mk%24&amp;amp;Bsrc=Photomail&amp;amp;Bpub=SDX.Photos" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span  style="line-height:1.26em;padding:0px;width:594px;font-size:26pt;font-family:'Segoe UI', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"  defaultText="Escribe aquí el nombre del álbum"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                                            &lt;div style="text-align:center;padding:9px 0px 0px 0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font-family:'Segoe UI', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"&gt;                                                &lt;table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style="text-align:center;width:auto;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding:0px;outline:none;border-style:none;border-collapse:collapse;"&gt;                                     &lt;tr&gt;                                       &lt;td style="vertical-align:top;outline:none;border-style:none;margin:0px;padding:6px 12px 6px 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=3d5a84c65467136b&amp;amp;page=play&amp;amp;resid=3D5A84C65467136B!861&amp;amp;type=5&amp;amp;authkey=vKsqu*Qy2mk%24&amp;amp;Bsrc=Photomail&amp;amp;Bpub=SDX.Photos" border="0" target="_blank" style="font-family:'Segoe UI', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;outline:none;border-style:none;text-decoration: none;padding:0px;margin:0px;"&gt;VER PRESENTACIÓN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                                       &lt;td style="vertical-align:top;outline:none;border-style:none;margin:0px;padding:6px 0px 6px 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=3d5a84c65467136b&amp;amp;page=downloadphotos&amp;amp;resid=3D5A84C65467136B!861&amp;amp;type=5&amp;amp;Bsrc=Photomail&amp;amp;Bpub=SDX.Photos&amp;amp;authkey=vKsqu*Qy2mk%24" border="0" target="_blank" style="font-family:'Segoe UI', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;outline:none;border-style:none;text-decoration: none;padding:0px;margin:0px;"&gt;DESCARGAR TODO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                                                                            &lt;/tr&gt;                                   &lt;/table&gt;                                                                                                                                &lt;/div&gt;                                                                                       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Lead Architect »&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Snøhetta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Professional Credits »&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Architect&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Mr Erik Brett Jacobsen     &lt;br /&gt;Snøhetta     &lt;br /&gt;Norway &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Architect&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Mr Martin Brünner     &lt;br /&gt;Snøhetta     &lt;br /&gt;Norway &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Architect&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Mr Rune Grasdal     &lt;br /&gt;Snøhetta     &lt;br /&gt;Norway &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Architect&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Mr Kjetil T.

Attracting entries from internationally renowned practices to small local architects, the stellar quality of this year’s designs demonstrates their commitment to designing the world’s most exciting buildings. This year we’ve attracted more entries than ever before, with more than 700 submissions from 66 different countries. Our congratulations go to the winners for truly accomplished projects.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;All the WAF Award category winners will go head to head on Friday 4th November as they present their projects and compete for the highest accolades in global architecture, which will be decided by a 'super-jury'¹ of some of the world's most influential architectural and urban designers, led by the distinguished Michael Sorkin. They will cast their votes to decide the World Building of the Year 2011, Structural Project of the Year 2011 and Future Project of the Year 2011.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The WAF Awards day two winners are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;World Shopping Building of the Year&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decameron, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Studio MK27, Brazil&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LBy4-qIP8_4/TrL5O2rfKRI/AAAAAAAABZ4/Nv3yYeDA1NE/s1600-h/02_fachada%252520frontal%252520fechada%25255B6%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="02_fachada%20frontal%20fechada" border="0" alt="02_fachada%20frontal%20fechada" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-JxKEQSew0eM/TrL5P306HFI/AAAAAAAABaE/xPRFabUZ6bY/02_fachada%252520frontal%252520fechada_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="653" height="491" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The showroom of the Decameron furniture store is located on a rented site in the furniture commercial alley in São Paulo. To make the quick and economic construction viable, the architect, worked with the premise of a light occupation combined with industrial elements, which could easily be assembled.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The space was constructed through a mixed solution, with maritime transport containers and a specifically designed structure. Despite the spatial limitation imposed by the pre-determined dimension of the containers, the piece has impressive structural attributes that makes piling them possible. Two stories of containers form tunnels where products are displayed side by side.    &lt;br /&gt;The ample span, necessary to show furniture in relation with each other, is constructed by a metallic structure. This space is closed, in front and in back, by double-height metal casements with alveolar polycarbonate. At the back of the lot, there is a patio filled with trees and a pebbled-ground. When both doors are simultaneously opened, the whole store becomes integrated with its urban context. At rush stressful hours, by opening only the back doors, the store becomes self-absorbed, ruled by the presence of the inner-garden. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;On the back of the site is the office, closed by a glass wall that enables the designers to take part on the sales life. Two edges of the design process in contact through the inner patio as other opposing strengths also meet at this small project: The intensity of the urban life and a small nature retreat, the power of the containers and the lightness of the metallic structure and finally, the linearity of the tunnels and the cubic volume.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left:

We've started new projects in our Football for Hope program and Nike GAMECHANGERS, and we're moving forward with the Tohoku Rebuilding Program in the areas affected by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.   &lt;br /&gt;This month we're making a few big announcements - one is the start of the 2011 Open Architecture Challenge: [un]restricted access: from military space to civic space. The upcoming challenge asks designers to develop imaginative and revolutionary ideas for re-purposing abandoned, closed or decommissioned military sites and structures around the world. Stay tuned for more on that. And in other big news, Architecture for Humanity will relaunch Worldchanging by merging the site with the Open Architecture Network. The result will be a robust center for applied innovation and sustainable development.     &lt;br /&gt;Speaking of innovation, read about our co-founders in this recent &lt;a href="http://www.icebase.com/go2.shtml?LKL5JEMTqucQwlrG/12d7ddec5d741e18/9eb42e07b908a755/busquedax25%40hotmail.com"&gt;profile article&lt;/a&gt; in Architect Magazine     &lt;br /&gt;Finally, as the 2nd edition of Design Like You Give a Damn gets closer to hitting the shelves, we're bringing the spirit of the book to life this weekend in New York City. Join in the energy and excitement of our annual humanitarian design conference, &lt;a href="http://www.icebase.com/go2.shtml?LKL5JEMTqucQwlrG/6dff283e843780c8/9eb42e07b908a755/busquedax25%40hotmail.com"&gt;Design Like You Give a Damn: LIVE!&lt;/a&gt;, on Oct. 21st and 22nd.

At the same time it will be proposed a path to the visitors, kind of    &lt;br /&gt;architectural discovery of the city heart.    &lt;br /&gt;So, Montpellier’s FAV objective is on one hand, to open to inhabitants, during the festival these    &lt;br /&gt;symbolic places and on the other hand - thanks to creators teams intervention which will present a    &lt;br /&gt;specific work to every place - to reveal an intimate relationship between contemporary architecture,    &lt;br /&gt;installation and patrimonial site.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;1 FESTIVAL PRESENTATION   &lt;br /&gt;The Lively Architectures    &lt;br /&gt;The Lively Architecture Festival wish answer to evolution of architectural practice which, joining all the    &lt;br /&gt;domains related to its culture, does not any more hesitate to assert itself in its realizations. The Lively    &lt;br /&gt;Architectures are short-lived and evolutionary by nature; they are every time punctual, registered in a    &lt;br /&gt;short temporality and thoughts for a specific place.    &lt;br /&gt;Such an increased reality, they add, transform, reveal a forgotten space because they are invisible or    &lt;br /&gt;in the contrary too much seen. Respectful of environment, they transfigure it in an inhabited    &lt;br /&gt;environment where the past, the present to see even the future make only one. The Lively    &lt;br /&gt;architectures create an environment where the imagination of each takes place. So, they have the    &lt;br /&gt;sense of humor, as much as the humility. When we would like to freeze the architecture in the mirror of the big History and the Patrimony, the Lively Architectures prefer for their part, the privilege of the    &lt;br /&gt;custom in the law of the author. They are copy left in their attitude and are sincerely delighted at any    &lt;br /&gt;free and constructive reappropriation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Refusing the unchanging, during the festival they questionize our usual environment. Addressing to a   &lt;br /&gt;wide public, they proud a sensory adventure, offer a moved glance. They position them self as a    &lt;br /&gt;revelator. The Lively architectures are object of desire, envy and simply wish to find the sense of the    &lt;br /&gt;pleasure of the place, the city, to offer the sensitive and the tactile, to reposition the Man in the heart of    &lt;br /&gt;the architecture.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For this 7th edition of the Festival of the Lively Architectures in Montpellier, chosen places are in   &lt;br /&gt;adequacy with this historic city. One of its wealth is the presence in the heart of the city of numerous    &lt;br /&gt;town houses. Today, Montpellier has got more than seventy. Number of these privates town houses    &lt;br /&gt;and inner courtyards, are not open to the public. So, festival objective is double. On one hand open to    &lt;br /&gt;the inhabitants these symbolic sites, make them discover hidden places from their own city. On the    &lt;br /&gt;other hand, thanks to the intervention of the teams of creators presenting a specific work to every    &lt;br /&gt;place, it is a question of revealing an intimate relationship between contemporary architecture and    &lt;br /&gt;patrimonial site.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In their history the courtyards , half-private and half public spaces, have had very diverse functions as   &lt;br /&gt;place of representation, distribution welcome ,but today the courtyard remain anused. Divested of any    &lt;br /&gt;function, they appear as simple spaces crossed to join a private place. Forgotten, because    &lt;br /&gt;inaccessible, or forgotten because inappropriate, these courtyard disappear little by little from a    &lt;br /&gt;common knowledge, even from a collective imagination. They become real forgotten spaces and    &lt;br /&gt;nevertheless possess an appropriate specificity, playing between shadow and light, offering a    &lt;br /&gt;possibility of glorifying these places with few things. So, the contemporary architecture by game will    &lt;br /&gt;reveal and will wake up sleepy sites.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2 THEMATIC FAV 2012 – 7th Edition in Montpellier   &lt;br /&gt;Theme of the Festival 2012: Surprise    &lt;br /&gt;Festival of the lively Architectures 2012    &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;SURPRISE” n.f. Action by which we surprise. Defend oneself from the surprise of senses, from the    &lt;br /&gt;surprises of self-esteem. It also means Amazement, state of mind which is struck by something    &lt;br /&gt;unexpected. I do not recover my surprise. Experience a sweet surprise. Arrange to someone a    &lt;br /&gt;pleasant surprise. Go from surprise to surprise. It specially says about a Gift, an unexpected pleasure.    &lt;br /&gt;To surprise someone.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Definition of the French Academy, 8th Edition   &lt;br /&gt;The surprise call to mind the plurality's notion. Plurality of senses, situations, mainly plurality of    &lt;br /&gt;people. To make the surprise exist, it has to be several people or two at least, one for offer and the    &lt;br /&gt;other to receive. So the surprise proposes an action staging by a desire to share and a will of opening    &lt;br /&gt;toward somewhere, a stranger who astonishes or delights us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In 2012, the lively architectures will be real surprises supporting this necessary interaction,   &lt;br /&gt;transforming a patrimonial architecture, motionless, static and unchanged to a dynamic space, fluid,    &lt;br /&gt;ephemeral, evolutionary and creative space. That’s their role, to open up new space and new    &lt;br /&gt;sensations, to allow forgotten places to reappear, also offering a sharing and pleasure space in the    &lt;br /&gt;same time. So the patrimonial case won’t only be the receiver and the contemporary one, the supplier.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The surprise will be mutual, giving and receiving both. The surprise will be definitely at the heart of the   &lt;br /&gt;lively architectures’ new edition, which still has to astonish more and more spectators this year.    &lt;br /&gt;Surprise them by the pleasure of discovery wonder places and situations. The unexpected will take    &lt;br /&gt;place in order to occur a sweet experience to everyone.    &lt;br /&gt;Through this town path, everyone would go from surprises to surprises.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3 MODALITY SELECTION   &lt;br /&gt;Team selection on file: applications files have to reach at the latest on December 15th, 2010 at    &lt;br /&gt;midnight, French time (GMT+1 / date of emission of mail being valid.)    &lt;br /&gt;Constitution of applications file:    &lt;br /&gt;+ Team presentation, members, with Curriculum vitae of every member    &lt;br /&gt;+ Full of imagery references of architectural realizations, installations, competition …    &lt;br /&gt;+ Note of intention towards the Festival of the Lively Architectures of Montpelier and about    &lt;br /&gt;theme: The Encounter    &lt;br /&gt;The consultation is opened to young architects and landscape architects    &lt;br /&gt;Files must reach us by e-mail to PDF format at the following address:    &lt;br /&gt;communication@festivaldesarchitecturesvives.com    &lt;br /&gt;Thank you for specifying in the title of the e-mail “2012 FAV applications Montpellier”, and not to send    &lt;br /&gt;too heavy files (maximum 10 Mo by application).    &lt;br /&gt;A file presenting in detail theme and technical constraints connected to the conception of an    &lt;br /&gt;intervention (ground, exhibition, visitors, proposition of setting-up presence…) will be sent to the    &lt;br /&gt;selected candidates.

Par-là même, il sera proposé un parcours aux visiteurs, sorte de découverte architecturale au coeur de la ville.    &lt;br /&gt;Ainsi, l’objectif du FAV de Montpellier est d’une part, d’ouvrir aux habitants, le temps du festival, ces    &lt;br /&gt;lieux emblématiques et d’autre part - grâce à l’intervention des équipes de créateurs qui présenteront    &lt;br /&gt;une oeuvre spécifique à chaque lieu - de révéler une relation intime entre une architecture    &lt;br /&gt;contemporaine, une installation et un site patrimonial.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;1 PRESENTATION DU FESTIVAL   &lt;br /&gt;Des Architectures Vives    &lt;br /&gt;Le Festival des Architecture Vives souhaite répondre à l’évolution de la pratique architecturale qui,    &lt;br /&gt;intégrant tous les domaines connexes à sa culture, n'hésite plus à s'affirmer dans ses réalisations. Les Architectures Vives sont éphémères et évolutives par nature, elles sont chaque fois ponctuelles,    &lt;br /&gt;inscrites dans une courte temporalité et pensées pour un lieu spécifique.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Telle une réalité augmenté, elles s’ajoutent, transforment, révèlent un espace oublié car invisible ou   &lt;br /&gt;au contraire trop vu. Respectueuses d’un milieu d’inscription, elles le transfigurent en un    &lt;br /&gt;environnement habité où le passé, le présent voire même le futur ne font qu’un. Les architectures    &lt;br /&gt;Vives créent un environnement où l’imaginaire de chacun prend place. Ainsi, elles ont le sens de    &lt;br /&gt;l'humour, autant que de l'humilité. Quand on voudrait figer l'architecture dans le miroir de la grande    &lt;br /&gt;Histoire et du Patrimoine, les Architectures Vives préfèrent pour leur part la prérogative de l'usage au    &lt;br /&gt;droit de l'auteur. Elles sont « copyleft » dans leur attitude et se réjouissent sincèrement de toute    &lt;br /&gt;réappropriation libre et constructive.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Refusant l'immuable, le temps du festival, elles questionnent notre environnement quotidien.   &lt;br /&gt;S'adressant à un large public, elles proposent une aventure sensitive, offrent un regard décalé. Elles    &lt;br /&gt;se positionnent comme un révélateur. Les Architectures Vives sont objet de désir, d'envie et    &lt;br /&gt;souhaitent simplement retrouver le sens du plaisir du lieu, de la ville, offrir du sensible et du tactile,    &lt;br /&gt;repositionner l’Homme au coeur de l’architecture.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Pour cette 7ème édition du Festival des Architectures Vives à Montpellier, les lieux choisis sont en   &lt;br /&gt;adéquation avec cette ville historique. Une de ses richesses est la présence dans le coeur de la ville    &lt;br /&gt;de nombreux hôtels particuliers. Aujourd'hui, Montpellier en compte plus de soixante-dix. Nombre de    &lt;br /&gt;ces hôtels et cours intérieures privés ne sont pas accessibles au public. Ainsi, l'objectif de ce festival    &lt;br /&gt;est double. D'une part ouvrir aux habitants ces sites emblématiques, leur faire découvrir les lieux    &lt;br /&gt;cachés de leur propre ville. D'autre part, grâce à l'intervention des équipes de créateurs présentant    &lt;br /&gt;une oeuvre spécifique à chaque lieu, il s'agit de révéler une relation intime entre une architecture    &lt;br /&gt;contemporaine et un site patrimonial.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Dans leur histoire, les cours, espaces semi-publics semi-privés, se sont vues attribuer des fonctions   &lt;br /&gt;très diverses entre lieu de représentation, d’accueil de distribution, mais aujourd’hui ces cours restent    &lt;br /&gt;inhabitées. Dénuées de toute fonction, elles se présentent comme de simples espaces traversés pour rejoindre un lieu privé. Oubliées, car inaccessibles, ou oubliées car inappropriées, ces cours    &lt;br /&gt;disparaissent petit à petit d’une connaissance commune, voire d’un imaginaire collectif. Elles    &lt;br /&gt;deviennent de véritables espaces oubliés et pourtant possèdent une spécificité propre, jouant entre    &lt;br /&gt;ombre et lumière, offrant une possibilité de magnifier ces lieux par peu de chose. Ainsi, l’architecture    &lt;br /&gt;contemporaine par jeu révèlera et réveillera des sites endormis.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2 THEMATIQUE DU FAV 2012 - 7ème Edition à Montpellier   &lt;br /&gt;Thème du Festival 2012 : SURPRISE&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;« SUPRISE ». n. f. Action par laquelle on surprend. Se défendre de la surprise des sens, des   &lt;br /&gt;surprises de l’amour-propre. Il signifie aussi Etonnement, état de l’esprit qui est frappé par quelque    &lt;br /&gt;chose d’inattendu. Je ne reviens pas de ma surprise. Eprouver une douce surprise. Ménager à    &lt;br /&gt;quelqu’un une surprise agréable. Aller de surprise en surprise. Il se dit spécialement d’un Cadeau,    &lt;br /&gt;d’un plaisir inattendu. Faire une surprise à quelqu’un.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Définition de l’Académie Française, 8ème édition   &lt;br /&gt;La Surprise évoque la pluralité. Pluralité de sens, pluralité de situations, mais surtout pluralité de    &lt;br /&gt;personnes. Pour que la surprise existe, il faut être à plusieurs et à minima deux, un pour offrir et un    &lt;br /&gt;pour recevoir. La Surprise propose ainsi une action mise en oeuvre par un désir de partage et une    &lt;br /&gt;volonté d’ouverture vers un ailleurs, un inconnu qui nous surprend et nous enjoue. Les Architectures    &lt;br /&gt;Vives seront en 2012 de véritables Surprises portant cette nécessaire interaction, transformant une    &lt;br /&gt;architecture patrimoniale, figée, statique, immuable, en un espace dynamique, fluide, éphémère,    &lt;br /&gt;volage et inventif. Tel est leur rôle, à la fois ouvrir de nouveaux espaces, de nouvelles sensations,    &lt;br /&gt;permettre à des lieux quelque peu oubliés de renaître, mais également de s’offrir en tant que lieu de    &lt;br /&gt;partage et de plaisir. Ainsi, l’écrin patrimonial ne sera pas uniquement l’écrin qui reçoit, et l’intervention    &lt;br /&gt;contemporaine celle qui donne. La Surprise sera réciproque, l’un offrant et s’offrant simultanément à    &lt;br /&gt;l’autre. La Surprise sera donc au coeur de cette nouvelle édition du Festival des Architectures Vives,    &lt;br /&gt;qui cette année encore doit surprendre un public de plus en plus nombreux.
