My favourite building!!!

On my summer vacation in 2008 I had the privilege to travel with my boyfriend to the south of Chile, specifically I was stayed in Castro, the principal city of Chiloé island. This is a beautifull city surrounded by abundant vegetation. There is my favourite building, the San Francisco church of Castro.This isn´t a typical church, for its architecture, is alien to all the other traditional churches of Chiloe. Was built at the beginning of the century by the Italian architect called Eduardo Provasoli. The feature that i like more, is its interior lining. It was developed completly by cabinetmakers in larch wood. Its an amazing work, wich will surround to you in the warmth of southern Chile, each piece was worked by hand, creates a big piece, that you shouldn´t lost. Moreover its materiality, fully agrees with the environment, beautiful and great forests. I hope to come back some day and know more about the architecture of the south.

The BBC page.

The last class, we discovered a new tool. This is a web page of BBC where you will found english dialogues to listen and try to understand the language to achieve improve your comunication. There isn´t to beginners, because you have to understand a little bit to use the tools that are there.
I really enjoyed that class. The stories are very funny and they explain the use for the words and their posibilities. Moreover allows us to practise in home or anywhere with internet and share learning with people arround me.

The problem is the time it takes to load the dialogues to listen, they are heard incompletely, makes it a little difficult the process of hearing.

I would like to know more pages, where i will learn and practice the english language. Maybe england people chats or others kinds of tools.

Simon, if you know some other tool, I really would appreciate, you write to me.
Bye!!! Excuse the delay

Renewables Energies

In the workshop class, I am working with eco energies. For this reason I search many pages about renewables energies, one is www.e-renovables.cl.
This page talk about different ways to apply eco systems to architecture, and design. Different kind of energies, it catchment and possible development depending on the region.
I visited this page when I want to find more others page about this theme. The English class helps me, when I find English pages to understand what they said.Now is really important investigate and generate new solutions to this problematics. Have we to pay our energy consumption if this energy is free in the earth?. How may we help to make the world more human?. We have an important task of commitment with the earth and our future. What is your way to attack this?.

Comment about the theme Victory City and Chile

It´s the time, with the development of the modern cities we are discover many problems as pollution, stress in the work time, and how we travel, the waste and a lot of other problems to be work how Designer. The pollution makes the air became toxic for the breath, and in Santiago mainly for the large number of people and worse operating of “Transantiago”, a lot of particular cars fill the streets, cut down the time for the family relations. Many waste for the fast life and industries like plastics and chemical elements, make the countryside ground toxic too, to the food and the animals.Presently the City- Park Bicentenario as Victory City, is a proyect about this problematics in Cerrillos, what we have to work in design workshop class. My class is about the artefacts into and outward the houses, development with eco energy. We have the present year to find the better way to help to modern cities, and improve the quality life for the peoples and change the way to make design like the Victory way.
