Siguiendo con of theme of "cuaderno de viajes", voy a relatar algunas cosas curiosas que aprendí in me viaje a Italia by este verano. Fue un recorrido for out of Norte de Italia, desde Roma quick los Lagos, pero themselves llegar a la costa, Salvo Venice.
Entre Florence y Bologna aparece una Cordillera mountain, Apenino Coarse-Emiliano, que separa The Tuscany (to about) y the Llanura padana (to Norte).
From Landscape of Tuscany está training for suaves colinas tapizadas con cultivos, principalmente of vid y olives. Los caminos suelen estar flanked by cipreses. Los pueblos medievales if placed in housing height of las colinas y are walled, by ejemplo San Gimignano or Monteriggione. These people retain their appearance then and are now a tourist attraction.
San Gimignano (THE Tuscany)
Monteriggione (The Tuscany)
And as for the Po Valley, the landscape is totally different. It is a vast plain bounded on the south by the Apennine Tosco Emiliano and north of the Alps. From east to west is crossed by an ancient road: The Via Aemilia, a Roman road built in the 187 A.C. ranging from Rimini, on the Adriatic coast, to Piacenza, near Milan.
Although there are also quite agriculture, the main economic engine is industry. All cities are surrounded by a large industrial belt.
In Bologna, in the Middle Ages, political power passed into the hands of the noble families. Here also was customary to build towers wealthier families. When a family fell into disgrace, cut the tower and killed the family. Currently there are two towers: Asinelli and Garisenda. Both are inclined and more petite she was taller than the other but the family was ruined and ...
Towers of Asinelli and Garisenda
Some palaces have large iron rings on their facades. It seems that had served to tie the horses, but not: were to tie the boats as, oddly enough, Bologna was filled channels, like Venice, and there are still a few.
In Verona, the most spectacular is its Roman amphitheater, built in the first century and still offers shows. We had the opportunity to attend a lyrical play at night and is awesome. The pity is that half of the work it was raining and suspended the function.
San Gimignano has many towers, which were built by rival families during the twelfth and thirteenth, when the location of the city on the pilgrimage route to Rome provided him great prosperity. How much was a family rich, higher the tower was built.
Monteriggione was built in 1203. It is surrounded by high walls with 11 fortified towers. Inside there are only two streets, a square and a Romanesque church.
Amphitheater “The Arena” (Verona)
And this trip ends the lakes, at the foot of the Alps. The weather is cold, compared to the rest of Italy. Currently are an expensive tourist destination. Many villages in the lakes have marinas. Also located on its banks many mansions of famous actors.
In Lake Maggiore are a few small islands called Borromean Islands. One, Isola Bella, is occupied almost entirely by the Borromeo Palace and Gardens, Pier only a few houses are located.
Isola Bella Lago Maggiore – Isola dei Pescatori
From the lakes I was struck by the private occupation of a large part of the coast, either hotels, large apartments or private homes.
And here the story ends.
Contest tourist spaces reform sponsored by the Cabildo of Tenerife.
This is a public space (located in the town of Adeje) heavily punished by the various interventions that have been happening over the years, gradually losing the character of public open space, siendo ocupado for a indiscriminate aparcamiento of coches a dos filas, construcciones y concesiones in from propio espacio público y in out front marine que Pocho's Pocho han child tapando las vista to mar.

Recuperación del espacio público para peatones, residentes y turistas, limitando of transit rodado.
Redefinición de los espacios of disfrute y carefully, such como Gardens, plazas, fitted Equities infantiles y mayores.
Creación de recorridos pedestrian of Paseo, y fully accesibles a las personas con movilidad reducida.
 Plant General propuesta
Nuevo diseño of jardinería y hoisting, that enhances visual perspective to the sea, camouflage and integration of private spaces adjacent, and creating spaces for shade and visual recreation.
  Succession of layers used to develop the proposal
Improving the quality of street furniture and lighting.
Recovery of existing concessions in public or concentration in a common building to avoid visual obstacles disaggregated.
 Sections proposals
The woodland is in alignments, following main routes. Along stay zones, is situated on the south side, ensuring the shade for most of the day. Also achieved a filter that partially conceals camouflages and vision between public and private. It has sought the opening of the eye to the sea.
The low vegetation, by species adapted to the climate and low maintenance, will be providing color notes and characterizing the different environments.

After a year of work, arrived at the summer where we take a well deserved vacation. Many of us decided to travel to various destinations to visit other places or just to get away from our routine life. With this post I would like to open a section on our blog, call Travel Notebooks. I consider interesting to reflect our experiences and impressions gained during these visits, and interesting aspects related to our profession of the following routes:. It is for this reason that I invite everyone to make an entry on their “expeditions” and so give us the opportunity to meet other lares.He wanted to start this section after my trip to the Maldives, a destination that perhaps, no great interest in architecture or urban planning that refers, I would still like to share my experiences.
The Republic of Maldives is a country located in the Indian Ocean southwest of Sri Lanka and India, South Asia, consisting 1.196 islands, of which 203 are inhabited. It owes its name to the derivation in Sanskrit, in which evil means thousands and diva, island. Namely, thousands of islands.
 Spectacular view from the plane
The Maldives held the record for being the flattest country in the world, with a maximum altitude of only 2 meters on the island Vilingili, Aduu Atoll. Although reports indicate a dangerous sea level rise, this level actually fell in recent decades.
An Indian Ocean tsunami caused by the earthquake 26 December 2004, caused a sector of the Maldives to be covered by the sea, left many homeless, killed 82 people and other 26 disappeared. After the disaster, cartographers are planning to redraw the map of the islands devastated by the alterations caused by the tsunami. The people and the government are concerned that the country will eventually be wiped off the map.
 Maldivian with traditional clothing
Its capital Male is located on the island of the same name. It is the seat of government and business center, commercial, business, health and education. It has a population of about 80.000 people (about a third of the country's population) on a surface 1,7 km2. Striking degree of silting existing on this island edificatoria.

Maldives is known for the diversity of blue and turquoise waters and abundance and variety of underwater life. It has a set of pristine tropical islands with palm trees, white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons. Hence the large influx of visitors and tourists coming to have eighty-six resorts in operation.
 Ocean-Villas LhohifushiThe development of tourism has fostered the overall growth of the country's economy, formerly based on fishing and products derived from it. A tourism that seeks preferably primarily water sports diving and surfing, with excellent conditions for your practice. In other, is a destination where the activities and visits to make are scarce as most islands are uninhabited or just have a private resort.
The “people” reef
Contest tourist spaces reform sponsored by the Cabildo of Tenerife and recently awarded CPPA.
 Current State Street UK (Adeje)
The sector consists of three different areas in the municipality of Adeje, Britain Street and two walks, one perpendicular and the other parallel, exclusively pedestrian.
The main problem of Britain Street is the shortage of spaces for pedestrian circulation jeopardize functioning as an axis connecting the interior resorts San Eugenio and recreational facilities on the coast, appreciate excessive traffic weight. The pedestrian feature vegetation, and an acceptable state of conservation, but have a serious accessibility problem. Quality Paving, lighting, furniture and gardening, can significantly improve.
 Plant ProposalComo strategy of transformation if ha optado for los siguientes criterios:Britain Street:
Increased pedestrian area to the detriment of road traffic and parking, occupying a considerable stretch very few places.
Solution of continuity in the pedestrian, avoiding the steps, and limiting the passage of vehicles to a strip differentiated.
Status of high bearing new vegetation to ensure the creation of shadows along the walk, and improved urban environmental.
Attempt waterfront by a square.
Britain Street IMAGES
Pedestrian walks:
Improved paving, redesigning its cutting, so as to break the monotony that characterizes its narrowest sections, and create spaces equipped with furniture carefully and lighting.
Improved vegetation introducing new species that provide more shade, climbing plants that change color, texture and smell and characterize the different sections of walk.
Solutions by ramps they overcome the existing slopes, ensuring accessibility of the walk.

Opera House, one Bjørvika equipo del Snøhetta
El interesting atrio del edificio
A los meses Últimos, he visto publicado most edificio one algunos MEDIOS orientados a la arquitectura. We have parecido un edificio que extraordinario Juega al papel de hito urbano en la estela de la también Sydney Opera de Utzon.
Es la obra mas reciente del equipo de Arquitectos noruego Snøhetta que adquirió reconocimiento internacional al ganar el concurso para la reconstrucción de la Biblioteca de Alejandría.
El Opera House see have ubicado en el fondo del fiordo the Oslo, ocupando una parte del Antiguo Muelle de Bjørvika, see have convertido en una presencia estrategic de la capital noruega junto a la Estación del tren y por ello, an un nuevo atractivo Tourist Bus.  The building is defined by a series of intersections of planes that allow also act as open plaza exceptional fjord landscape in which the city is located.
Internally, has entered into an atrium space reminiscent of the flag of Finland for the World Fair in New York Finnish master Alvar Aalto. An honest example of good architecture away from the celebrity of star architects invading large cities of our planet.

Es curiosa la capacidad que tienen en Holanda para innovar una nueva arquitectura que supera los valores epidérmicos y se adentra en la experimentación tipológica como se ha realizado en este edificio que cuenta con una alta proporción de terrazas escalonadas.
Supondrá un disfrute de un espacio exterior al aire libre en un lugar con un clima endiablado.
Contradicciones de los arquitectos.

Los arquitectos se han convertido en unos creadores de imágenes para el estimulo de la imaginación.
El empleo de sistemas informáticos para el diseño tridimensional ha posibiltado una explosión de todo tipo de fantasías que tienen enormes dificultades para su construcción real.
En el mejor de los casos una cosa es la visión glamurosa propuesta por los arquitectos de renombre y otra la realidad construida.

Creo que un ejemplo claro de esto es la propuesta de Rem Koolhaas y OMA para la sede de la televisión china en Pekín que, con el apoyo del saber estructural de Cecil Balmond, se está terminando actualmente.

It opened in the Utzon Center Aalborg, the last work of Jorn Utzon, who finished with the help of his son to the 90 years old. As Denmark is a bit far from where we are, we have no distinct possibility, a little closer, Mallorca, lies the author of the Sydney Opera House. Utzon is the International Meeting of Majorca, to be held 14, 15 and 16 November and will be the predecessor of another conference in Sydney a year later. It is expected the participation of Richard Weston, William Curtis, Adrian Carter, Françoise Fromonot, Rafael Moneo, Enrique Sovereign, Josep Quetglas, Joana Roca and Jaime Ferrer. I leave here a picture of one of the two houses became Danish architect living in Mallorca, Can Lis and Can Feliz…. we see in Mallorca!
