Workout Equipment Blueprint

Summary: Platform Architecture Magazine recently published this article regarding the "bubble" that may hold the Architect in task without empathy with the real. Reproduce the article in question prepared by Andrés Briceño. Corrections: Arch Nicanor Wong

"(...) knowledge is an expression of shared responsibility for the collective good of humanity and the planet as a whole" (1).

What is relevant for some, may be irrelevant to others. That is a fact that usually roams in particular areas and suggests no chance of collective fact and fundamentally universal. If there is no food, you die, but die defecate. This is a significant event for all, that is universal.

When we speak of a universal need acquires its relevance to the scale needed to generate the instances - the right knowledge - the can be solved in the most efficient and specific as possible. This is the area that architects scattered throughout the world seems to cloud the art forward.

Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, has exposed with remarkable clarity the dynamic linking to be the architect with the responsibility and social welfare, and that in general the architects seem to matter tangentially or with a limited aspect or deformed by own discipline and that over the years, technology and the huge differences between those who have the knowledge and resources to implement it, has become a way to "architecture", deflecting attention to the ego as proposed and no social welfare and can be built. Ie do from a bubble from an irrelevant source for the community.

is crucial to draw a right path in finding a solution provided by a particular formal language or, failing that, at the conclusion of an investigation that aimed to respond to something transcendent. For example: How to provide housing solutions without the resources to countries experiencing earthquakes as in the case of Haiti, Chile or Peru?, Or How architecture can help overcome the trauma of violence caused by drug trafficking in Mexico? or "From which urban integration strategy can improve the nutritional status of children in underdeveloped countries? For decades, this type of universal needs are so far from the architectural field initial questions that seem not to belong to the challenges of our nature.

To be clear, not just a sign of profession, but a phenomenon encouraged by the paradigm created by consumerism: differentiation.

The Annals of Improbable Research (2) delivers the antithesis of the Nobel prizes to the most absurd investigations of the moment: the IgNobel. Research to undertake the work of scientists around the world, as irrelevant as people discover that eats like a pack of stale chips if they are very crispy bite or fleas that dogs can jump farther than cat fleas.

is not placed on a speech that appeals to gravity in the interest of a particular character, but rather, is to stand on a platform to visualize the energy lost in it and the fact that immediately transforms into something relevant. Talking

energy and resources to produce it is a necessity that our contemporary demand and the complexity of it is growing every day. The planet does not stand another hundred years to the level of stress that printed the twentieth century. That is already happening.

Knowledge is to provide solutions, you just need the real intention to leave and face the open bubbles which gives the imbalance of resources in the world.

an angle to the nonsense, that is, a journey that takes a search on particular knowledge borne from a trivial question. Kinds of architects.

few days ago, I was able to attend a lecture by a Polish architect and academic named Tomasz Jaskiewicz, who is conducting research to understand what he and the academic institution that supports him, understood as the "future of architecture." Discussed a number of concepts with great potential but applied to the insipid game of experimentation for experimentation. For example, scale models with spaces that have the ability to transform completely, as a liquid mass, due to the interaction of the user and through hydraulic joints or deformable bladders absolutely could interact with the user. The search and the resources associated with it are simply wasted energy.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

has exposed more than once the beginning of the path that transformed his work was the death of his son and, through it, understand that art for art's sake is not the way that art needs precisely but the angle and energy must be directed towards finding healing.

More than 200 million people lack safe drinking water in South America, 1,400 million (equivalent to ¼ of the population of developed countries) living on less than US1.25 per day, 1,000 million poor people migrate to cities for 2030 are some transcendent data can be obtained easily in publications worldwide.

and powerful countries have invested millions of dollars a year for the generation of knowledge. The ranking of universities in the world is overwhelming and more than 80% are U.S. and other developed countries and a minimum percentage corresponds to developing countries or underdeveloped right.

Jeremy Rifkin, a noted intellectual, American sociologist and economist, has launched its latest and tremendously inspiring book called "The Empathy Civilization." In it, Rifkin develops a theoretical basis that strips humanity as an entity that has developed its modern growth based on competition and self-centered systematic differentiation of consumerism, which contradicts the essence of human empathy. For him, the future of mankind is subject to change that paradigm and transform it into an integrated network of collaboration and empathic awareness.

The future is to understand the reality and address the transit of energy to overcome the global and interconnected needs and not towards the creation of bubbles of knowledge that seek to solve inventions and not realities.

Ethics Office behind

observations about the book: "Against the indifference as a standard" Moneo and Siza
By: Germain del Sol Stuven

On the text of Rafael Moneo on Alvaro Siza - Vieira, I propose to analyze the major issues revolving around the idea of \u200b\u200barchitecture. Whereas

Moneo begins by giving some hints about what characterizes the Portuguese architect, then implement its parameters in a detailed analysis of some of his works, I think the important thing in this essay is to highlight those aspects that made Siza a unique artist, and I think this requires, first of all, understand the ethics in which builds his craft.

If we take into account some of the teachings of Sartre, "Existentialism is a Humanism" understand that he gives responsibility to the individual. But not a single individual but an individual who is part of a social body and that the same thing - saying in simple - should weigh their actions according to what the world if they all acted like him. I mean, is not revolutionary try to change their minds masses or adhere to certain doctrines, but is the man in the privacy of their decisions, changing the world and sets the example.

In the context of modernism, where perhaps the ego of the artist has been greatly overrated, becomes even more value the presence of a character like Alvaro Siza, faithful keeper of ethics to do the things taught to them.

a greater or lesser extent we are all witnessing the proliferation of architectures purely aesthetic, in which it appears that the architect wanted to yell at the pedestrian: "I built this, look at me." Projects planned for the facade, or photo published. But Moneo, Siza said about that "he does not act simply reveals that with which we are surprised." I understand from the above that the architect is not to impose ways of living, or move. Asked how it works, Siza replied that first looks, and then recognizes the reality, always attentive to the place, people, materials.

For this reason, it appears that their work is not - obviously - the God who creates, in every sense of the word, but the poet, who takes what exists, and gives a new look. The boldness of his job is to stop, to understand what happens in the place, how people move, what are your needs. His expertise lies in being able to envision what occurs, and give it a suitable place.

is why that does not fit the modern egotistical, and that when this purpose is fulfilled, the artist disappears. Siza says also that "a place is what it is and what he wants to be" and then "No, I test the wood of the ship at sea, the excesses would destroy it. Study of currents, eddies. Hence not make much sense to require the space that is, from scratch, what the architect wants.

The aim will be to take what already exists, and let him become what he wants to be. Through their greater or less in harmony with man, the architect will try to what is already present, get its heyday in the work. But this does not happen if it is isolated from the randomly projected own life, seeking the new for the new, in the coldness of his study. Instead, it passes into contact with reality and ambivalence in the understanding of the epicenter of conflict that any human activity.

And I understand that is the way to solve this problem where art is born itself, whose end result is - tell Siza - always a surprise. For as he is not expecting the place to become a given, the finished project appears in the eyes and the way congenial clearest available variables. Y. when this is achieved without ostentation, could not be less than shocking.

It serves as an example of this, the Boa Nova restaurant, which receives a steep rocky area Siza by the sea. The architect could have blown up the rocks, and built on what came to his whim. But, according to the ethics that we have described, he chooses to take advantage of what the landscape offers not to imitate, but to articulate their project around it.

And that does not mean, that seems absurd example, that the restaurant should have a rock to resemble his environment, but simply that the walls emerge from adopting them its essential characteristic, the foundation. Then

then comes the determination, what Siza "says" about what was already said, the horizontal line of the roof which unequivocally states modest but human presence through a geometric continuity, nonexistent in nature (the line .)

Something similar can be seen in the pools of Leca da Palmeira, where he again received a rocky Siza, this time with a different mission. To allow people to bathe, the only thing really needed was to contain and appease the waters, which the architect gets small vertical walls rising from the rocks that allow water to accumulate and do not drain.

But it's the little details that matter. Why not build all the walls that can, but only the essentials, using rocks to perform the remaining work. And I would not call it minimalism, but common sense, consciousness scale, finally, humility.

As if that were not enough examples, we Malagueira social housing, where to get organized parking cars, painting Siza no lines of demarcation, it is sufficient to establish the extent of the street just for that to happen as happens. In poetic terms, we would say that verse will not construct the reader, gives only the foot forced to so he can finish.

In conclusion, we could say that the work of Siza light shines out from the inside, talking with what things are in essence, and this is given by a strong sense of responsibility involved in making architecture.

So out with the feeling that the origin of the quality of his work is in ethics, not aesthetics.

Moreover, I think he built from the incessant questions from the contrasts, so if we get to look like in his last works was diverted some of the usual way, we will see Pessoa come to his defense: "Nothing is more representative of life that those news of newspapers that give the lie to what those same newspapers said yesterday "(Book of Disquiet, Emecé).

Architecture Can it be taught?

The edges of difficulty perceived by students and professional architects in the vicinity of this issue and the inability to understand such difficulties by those who have not participated (even as observers) in the experience of architectural (1) suggest highlight the intrinsic need for architecture-which is traditionally part of the family of the professions (2) - to be treated with discretion not only vocational and functional or Profesiographic. Large and very old university is the disquisition about reconciling the estimate as the human career field and the field itself Profesiographic purpose of structuring the training rationalities of curricula, to be the case that at present the territory of the former discussion is narrowed so much that in some academic circles until it comes dangerously near losing sight of the essential distinction between profession and vocation as well as meaning that this difference is related to vocational training frameworks (3).

This contemporary situation and its context of reference beyond the present essay, and therefore, focused on the topic at hand-rescue as the first point, the vocational dimension understood as essential feature corresponding to exercise and training of students in architecture.

What you learn and from where and how to learn the architectural? Born

participant observation, a critical-about features and complex internal processes that underlie the psychological dynamic of the student professional and architecture, is able to see certain matches, but mostly comes to discover significant dissonance between the way that - at the time of creative practice - are related discursive thought and plastic-symbolic thinking that certain psychological schools often called intelligence Space (4). Of old is known the difference in cognitive processing (thought) between the areas iconic plastic-rhythmic, and the inferential or hypothetical-deductive also called rational discourse, but in this particular case we refer to the special combination that arises between the two modes mainly to the complex challenges of development conceptual design. A closer look, you find that between two ways of thinking, there is a network of references on reality are essentially different from each other, but not excluding all of which in turn, calls into question the principles and forms of conventional learning as applicable or suitable to the case under observation. The eye sheds light on this question the very possibility of teaching something like architecture, is, among other things critical to the approach of teaching-learning scenarios. And we say "teaching something like ..." because without trying to address definitions, or even boundaries about essentially to the fact architectural reliefs only from close observation, the affiliation between the creative act (in this case architecture) and symbolic cognition (non-verbal) of the real (5), and certainly by itself with the artistic fact essential to its plastic-kinetic dimensions and also in the musical. (6) It raised the status of origin, we will discuss in installments in this publication the following issues: the right way to approach the subject, aptitude own network architecture, and finally the affective-emotional correlates of complex learning.

1. Initially interested or clear the appropriate ways to approach this topic, I'll leave it tentatively formulated:

- Is there a cognitive and attitudinal infrastructure that supports the identification, prioritization and dosing own learning content to the architecture? "And if it were, how does the interdisciplinary field between universes open architecture, philosophy and educational psychology can lead to a better insight of the subject?

- Is it possible to establish meaning between these broad codes of meaning?

Currently, the research methodology of human studies, acknowledges the need to approach certain phenomena through alternative procedures than those proposed by also called natural sciences (7). As we know the methods derived from and inspired by the scientist or factual position, are based on certain assumptions as the necessary repeatability and reversibility of the facts for better "control", the representativeness of the samples, on variables constructs and indicators, objectivity and externality of the researcher on the subject of study and the need to obtain records "measurable regularities" that are generalizable to universes represented by the sample under study. For his part, and if it is true that some human sciences schools make use of similar methods and techniques (8), increasingly today, humanist and scientific communities are in the need to develop more appropriate ways of approaching the nature of studying phenomena such as behavior, culture and learning and conventional methods, to come from another sphere of reality (9) and in its effort to obtain regularities tend to reduce distortions, poorer and getting to deny what is not enough to describe. Currently, cognitive psychology, perceptual and imagery, as well as studies of learning and human development potential in different cultural matrices also claim anthropology and social sciences better synergies and most acutely in the descriptions. No exception to this picture the situation of modern neuroscience and its relationship to health studies learning and homeostasis.

In this context the call appears in the SXX as a serious effort to provide ways to approach that respects the complexity of those planes and levels in which reality manifests itself in subtle ways (no tangible or quantifiable) to achieve levels of understanding would be no need to "dissect" the psychological or cultural reality. Behavioral traits, intelligence, learning, interests, feelings, human motivations and different cultural matrices belong among other things to the phenomena studied by the sciences, and it is necessary to emphasize that the qualitative research are addressed, fits and feeds directly into the transcendental philosophical thinking, being able to trace their roots far into the Western tradition. The territory of human consciousness, their properties, attributes and intentionality, are epistemological axis of reflection from the dawn of Western philosophy and is very significant to the topic at hand the contributions of transcendental philosophy from Husserl and further travel thought that the figures of Brentano, Heidegger, Max Shel, Merleau Ponty and Gadamer and Ricoeur in deepening and developing the phenomenological and hermeneutic phenomenology. Questions regarding the relationship between language and thought, thought and action, subjectivity and objectivity, space-time and self-knowledge, are worked from the perspectives offered by the philosophy of transcendental consciousness and the unfolding of interpretation, making contributions to unavoidable research methodology with concepts like epoché (temporary reduction focus and scope of the proposed perception) phenomenon and essence (noumenon), flat (true depth of focus), intentionality and focus, resonance, empathy, and inclusion subjective-objective (abolition of the classical epistemic dichotomy.) The concomitant contributions of hermeneutics and science of meaning (semiotics, semantics) and Orthodox knowledge about the universal archetypal symbolism (10), are completing the complex mosaic that can adequately address the manifestations of symbolic creativity in the analog contextualized case by cross-cutting aspects of space and livability. (11)

splits the delicate fabric of observation and trial as the topic suggests, is framed and on a phenomenological and interpretive framework to empower, in the case of this trial-the presentation of qualitative aspects which will approach the second report: higher cognitive domains and processes of the design space: the interior space of consciousness.
