New imaging technologies are constantly evolving, fostering meaningful change shape when projected virtually. En este video colgado en la web Plataforma Arquitectura, how realistic contrasts can become these innovative rendering systems. Es un trabajo del estudiante sueco Erick Jansson titulado “Visualización Arquitectónica”. El debate queda abierto sobre la influencia que deben tener estos nuevos sistemas de representación en la arquitectura contemporánea.

By observing the Wassily Chair, created between 1925 and 1927, Marcel Breuer (Hungary 1902-New York1981) not easy to understand at a glance what we have before our eyes.One possible interpretation is that it can be a chair whose design is based on the handlebars of a bicycle. However, and oddly enough, the undoubted attractiveness and beauty that emanates from this piece continues today to be a benchmark of furniture design. Is, we appreciate also that is clearly evident the architect line of work.

Bombay es una extensa y densísima urbe que alberga más de 15 millones de personas. Sus peculiares espacios públicos –conocidos como maidans y thirtas- son escasos en relación al tamaño del territorio urbanizado y, thus, constituyen allí un bien muy preciado. Llaman la atención del visitante por lo que tienen de diferente como expresión de una cultura peculiar. Uno de esos interesantísimos lugares es el depósito de Banganga, en Malabar Hill en el extremo sur de la ciudad.
Las grandes y raras extensiones abiertas que forman los maidans de Bombay tuvieron un origen militar. Emerge as building large free areas dedicated to the protection of the military fortifications, leaving expedited ground strips that could serve as a refuge and defense potential attackers. Through the course of history and the demise of military necessity have been leading to a sort of public parks that punctuate the city.

Conversely, thirtasthana were and are the sites of religious pilgrimage that character have remained open despite the informality that characterizes a place like Bombay and the many avatars that continually occur in an area that suffers so brutal urban pressures. Banganga tank is one of the few examples of this type are still open spaces multipurpose. While maintaining its original function as a place for drinking water supply, also preserves other multifunctional. For regular users is a daily meeting place and celebration. There also traditionally produce daily bath purification ceremony among many locals, would wash her clothes and give drink to pets. It has also been used as a crematorium surface, cemetery and outdoor gym.
Your sacred enclave character derived from ancient traditions of Pilgrimage. At the time had in its contours coming with numerous temples, shrines and dharamsalas, or retreat houses for pilgrims. A memorial and religious space wrapped in legends of miracles and holy character visits. In recent times the city also encourages their character to consumption and tourist space.

Water is a key element in the practice of Hinduism. It is a source of life and allows cleaning of one's sins. The approach to the banks and water edges represent also the time and place in which it would be closer to heaven. According to some myths rapporteurs, Banganga arise when Lord Rama shot a magic arrow down to relieve the thirst of the unfortunate inhabitants of the area. Thus discover hidden underground branch of the powerful and sacred Ganges (hence the name).
Banganwa tank would be at one of the seven primitive islands that gave rise to the city of Mumbai and is today an unoccupied stronghold in the center of the town of Walkeshwar. The reservoir is continuously supplied by a small natural spring located in a corner of the enclosure.

As urban space currently be defined as a cross between square and public pool, rocky organized into a depression in the center of the primitive island. With a substantially rectangular, is distinguished by its banks formed by stone steps and stairways. In its perimeter are located numerous spaces sanctified, embedded in a dense set of popular buildings and streets. Here the trails are used for all types of joint activities with an inherent difficulty in distinguishing between strictly private space and what is common to the inhabitants. In recent times also besieged by property speculation, As is clear from the appearance of important upcoming high buildings, disfiguring the original urban landscape.

Banganga is protected as a historic site and heritage character, because of that uniqueness that represents, it promotes the city as a tourist attraction. Symbolizes a way of understanding the use of space very characteristic of a form of ancient civilization, hardly reproducible under the budgets of other cultural coordinates. From the point of view of architecture and urbanism is a curious exoticism that does not fit with the kind of public space that are used in other countries and continents.

 Through the blog urban ecosystem I discovered a new system called solar energy storage Solar Ivy, which is used as a coating for external walls.
This system is inspired by natural forms, the collector panels are arranged on the surface of buildings like ivy leaves, energy generating formal and typological aspects defining new.
  It results from the project's evolution Grow, born Degree Thesis in Industrial Design from Samuel Cabot Cochran at Pratt Institute, and shown on display Design and the Elastic Mind the MoMa in New York, is based on a modular system of small bricks can generate solar and wind energy.
The Solar Solar Ivy leaves are attached to a stainless steel net, originally intended to allow the vines - to authentic – cover the façades of the buildings without damaging. Thanks to its modular structure the system can be adapted to all types of buildings can easily be replaced: each “leaves”, in fact, can be removed in case of break without interrupting the operation of the entire system.

    In this landscape as inhospitable as is the Teide National Park grows one wonderful vegetation consists of 168 plant, them 58 are considered Canarian endemic plants that are adapted to the harsh conditions of life such as the altitude, strong insolation, temperature range and lack of moisture.

La diversidad de la estética identitaria de los pueblos del mundo se mantiene viva en la artesanía de los distintos países africanos. Impresiona la riquísima variedad de formas, texturas y colores que proliferan en los tejidos y telas teñidas provenientes de África. Una expresión popular irreductible a las tendencias de homogeneización que hoy experimentamos.

Las necesidades energéticas de Canarias podrían cubrirse mayoritariamente mediante el uso de energías renovables. This is an idea in that line to Tenerife, transposing real proposals already underway and a glimpse alternatives to the current situation.

In June 2009 wrote about the new park opened in New York, the High Line. As mentioned, This project involves the transformation of an abandoned railway line nine meters high converted into a linear space that runs along the west of the island of Manhattan designed by James Corner Field Operations in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro .
For two years after opening its first section with great success in view of the two million visitors a year that holds, was opened to the public the second stage of this urban park has become one of the most valued public spaces of New York society. May owe its success to the linear park to monitor unknown views of the city while walking on a path through buildings of various kinds, showing the past, present and future of Manhattan.
   A third phase is planned to reach the park almost two miles long. It is a clear example of how to recover citizenship spaces without the need for excessive investment. Here is a video that shows a route along the first stretch.
