Someone I admire in my field: Luis Barragan

He was a mexican arquitect, only winner of Pritzker prize in tris country. He was born in 1902 and death in 1988. It have identity to the modern arquitecture of Mexico though the use of colour, remembering to the traditional culture of the country. Some of this works are "Casa Barragán", "Casa Girardi", "Capilla de las Capuchinas", among other.

I admire it because it manages to perfectly blend the strong colors as red and yellow, the serenity of the gardens and the figures in the base of large volumes, creating an incomparable harmony.

In opposition to the idea of the modern architecture, he modified it so that it adapted to the place, its inhabitants and its history. I believe that this is one of its true legacies, to demonstrate that architecture does not have to be solely functional, but it can also be a demonstration of beauty and identity, which have an objective of meditation and being in company.

His works I like because they show how proud he is of his culture and he tries to enhance it through his work.

my blogging experience 





















In general, I do not like writing, either in Spanish or in English, because it makes it difficult to put into words what I am thinking or feeling, and target for the blog is exactly that.

My writing ability I think I improve a little, I do not know, I learned more words and I have noticed better how to occupy the tenses.  In the future, perhaps I would like to include more in-depth opinions on certain topics that I consider relevant, and in this way generate a constructive discussion.   I believe that the conversation with other people is important, because it is possible to create another point of view on the subject, it is a conversation or discussion based on differe...

my dream job 





















Since I was little, I liked crafts. This is a reason because I am student of arquitecture. Back then, I can not talk about my dream job. But, after I was interested in the thread and metal craft, specially jewels.  In high school. I was studied gold work.   Y have always dreamed of a job that would allow me to travel. I know people who with crafts have managed to fulfill this dream, because with this profession you can meet many people who have the same tastes and who usually help each other. All yhat is needed is enthusiasm and love for the work we do with our own hands, and with practice and consentration can reach great achievements.   What is needed to study for this work is the technique of each type of discipline, which can be learned from some craftsman or in some academy, and then learn the rest through experimentation, as I have been doing since I am small.   The architecture, which is what I am studying now, I think has a lot of relation with the crafts. Allows to travel, the...
