Architecture Challenges in Latin America Competition



Reviewing the architecture magazine from 30 to 60, found the draft Mauricio Rocha Oztotepec market in Mexico ... the urban setting, they might belong to any Latin American scene. About it, Emilio Canek writes:

... "The case of supply and trade is presented as an unfinished item from pre-Hispanic times, yet had its own logic across the street and street vendors, perhaps with a more restrictive public markets set new standards of understanding spaces housing in the city as the present case "...

Indeed, the problems set by the periphery, the urban fabric and the basic needs of an entire society, is the main challenge architects, in order to understand and to achieve clean up our own scenarios show that the architectural work, can generate results that fit what we live now, in short, to provide good architecture, simple look no more mysteries to solve an urban problem that American society currently demands ... this is a good example to account it.

The Jesuit Reductions in Bolivia as a world heritage site, are the major challenge of the religious of the Society of Jesus to evangelize and bring the New World have the ideology of structures as strong as the Catholic Church. No doubt this company, without success, (not from them) since they were expelled, beautiful footprints left by the time the Bolivian Chiquitania ... architecture religious whose decision striking roof, the huge pillars that surround the hotel, settled mostly in timber, the entire roof, so the weight does not rest on the walls. Recently, I first visited San Javier and Concepción, and the magic you feel when you come into these churches, is indescribable, the air silent monk, if I may say so, get hold of one. Appreciate

The Raft of the Medusa Gericault


The hope, anguish, uncertainty are present

What's the story behind this painting?
part
In 1816 a French expedition to Senegal consisting of four ships. One was a frigate, the Medusa, which a few weeks of sail, runs aground on a reef. The crew, given the lack of boats, built a raft being towed by the same percent to transport fifty people. But soon the raft is abandoned and sinks to his fate for two weeks. What happened in that time, it is known by only two survivors from the raft of the Medusa, who published a chilling account of the struggle for survival, marked by the death of the weak against the bleakness of the situation, the despair reflected in fights and riots raised among men, cannibalism caused by hunger. Only fifteen people were rescued alive, of whom only two lived to tell. Monsieur Géricault met and questioned these people. Studied very well the scene with a model of the raft and worked until he completed his masterpiece.
