Live building

on of the my favorite building of this city is the Consorcio building, really when you think about one construction for one company.....you say ok......one more....like the other.....free plant.....so many floors.....so many people working at........so as well......but....the desing....the components...the energy.....and the form......are very important too......
For me....arquitecture's student....this building represent....the correct anwer......is very easy the mechanism........and very good thinking........
the arquitects was....enrique brown and Borja Huidobro......and the Huarte Andina construction company.......
this construction is in santiago, Chile.....in where to ways are conected......"el bosque" and "tobalaba"......this place is the beginning of the office buildins.....
Why i choose this buiding....because....the nature and the energy and thermanl comfort.....are working together......
for example.....the orientation of the buiding is not the more typical.......'cause.....the main facade is looking at the west.....in this case....the sun in summer is very uncomfortable.....but by follow the axes of the ways...is a good choice.....for protect the sun impact......this building have a three levels....and in each one of them one natural leather.....with creepers....with deciduous leaves....
this is very important because in winter....the facade is empty....for to take the sun light to heat the offices.....
the style is contemporary.....and the materials too
other reason is the water in the first floor....first for the image and perception....and second for the steam in the summer....amounts through the green facade.....and does like a cooler....that's great
by the way.....the colors....of this creepers...are very nice and change through the year.....
i think....that....it should be very nice to work in this buiding....

send for lyrics

one of the things that i like to do is.... to sing....i love music...and how most of us know it in chile....it's dificult to buy an original cd.....for the same reason.....i download from the net.....the songs of my favotites bands.......and most of them are from other countries......and the language is english......and then i have another problem...."how to sing the songs"....or "know what they say"......cause the lyrics are the soul of the song.....the instrument make the body, estructure, rhythm, but the lyric is like a message a poem......that make you think.....remember....some kind of expierences....places.....moments.....and i like to understnad what i'm listening......and singing........
exist so many websites related......but my favorite is www.lyricsondemand.com i learned some many songs in this site........and each day appear new song......and if like it.....i send it on this page..........one of the most lyrics that i know from the one band is INCUBUS.....and it was a great experience the last year when i went to the concert......and notice that i can sing all the songs........that was great........
that was one of the first web that i visit regulary......when i was more younger....and helped me a lot with my first coverbands .....
i hope that in this year Pearljam come to Chile........again......bacause tha last time i could not saw them.......

A nice dream....

if all the cities of the world...was like a Victory City....wuau...there's no exist the bad things that all of us can see all around... is like a nice utopian dream....it doesn't mean that is no good in fact quite the opossite.....is like to think in all the present dificult to live in the contemporary cities...and see the way to remove all of them of the beginning....and the really reason to live well....without troubles...and i'd really like to think my city with out cars...only the necesary....

also i think that will be the great solution of the transportation....and traffic congestion....is like a pedestrian city...in where the people can walk around....without noise....or cars or buses for everywhere....

at the same time i think that is a very sustentable proyect....in where all the awkward part will be connected....and work together....

this topic is very related with politics...like a great community.... in where all the people make a agreement for those way's life ....in where does't exist money's exchange...etc etc etc

by the way if i can live in this place i'd like to try for a year...because i'd like to live in one place that really care for the people+nature+animals+buildings that live there.

like the nike spot says..........nothing is impossible....is very nice to dream in a new kind of cities
