Socialist modernism: remembering the architecture of the eastern bloc

Imagen
Hi everybody today I'm going to talk about a new that read a few minutes ago. This new talks about that brutalist architecture of eastern Europe are decrepit, but now a project aims to document and preserve it. The monumental structures of central and eastern Europe are disappearing memories of the socialist era. The office of art and urban research (Bacu) believes that socialist modernism is outside of the current books of history. This same office, in 2014, started a new initiative to protect and document these buildings. Many of the buildings at risk have been abandoned and left in ruins, while others sit in wait for demolition in fast-developing Eastern European cities. Most of these buildings contribute to the history of each country. They are your identity. They are part of a sad time when wars were part of the world and of people. “We aim to revitalize this heritage not only for symbolic reasons but because we believe in these elements that managed to defy some of the

Free time...

Imagen
What I like most to do in my free time is take pictures but actually, I do not have to much free time so I can not take pictures a lot. I like how the sun can interrupt some photographies creating new effects. Naturals effect. I like this activity because you can make it in every place wherever you are. You only need a camera or even your cell phone to take good photographies. Eight months ago, I bought a semi-professional camera for this hobby. Now, all my family wants a "good" picture. Another thing that I like from this activity is that you can "play" with the effects to create something new. I love to take pictures of flowers and to nature because is something without mistakes. Something wonderful and pure. Wherever I go, I am with my camera. It is very important to me. I have like a million pictures of my family and my personal style. Another thing that I like is that I can complement with the architecture. With my career. So I am happy about that. A

NINA SIMONE

Imagen
Hi everybody! Today I'm going to talk about a wonderful woman. Nina Simone. She was a singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, and activist in the Civil Rights Movement.  She born on February 21, 1933, in North Carolina and was the sixth child of a preacher.  She began playing piano at the age of three and her first concert, a classical recital, was given when she was 12. In there, her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make a way for white people. She refused to play the piano until her parents were moved back to the front. She suffered a lot. In her first marriage, her husband beat her, raped her and abused her. "Thanks" to this, she had a daughter and some psychological problems. This didn't stop her and she continued with her career. In 1964, She changed the contest of her music. Now she only talks about racism and inequality in the world. Her first civil rights song was "Mississippi Goddam&quo

What I want....

Imagen
Hi everybody!! today I want to talk about a future job I would like to have. Actually, I don't know what I want to do in the future. Four years ago, the only thing I wanted was getting at The University of Chile and I did it. So now I even know what I want. I know with architecture I can make a lot of things but I don't sure about what I want. If I imagine how will be the job, I hope it will be in a quiet space and I wish it won't be monotonous. If we talk about a dream job, the rules change. My dream job would be funny and with a lot of animals. I wish to have a rescue center for animals. it doesn't care the type or form. I love animals and I think they need all of our love. In this rescue center, I will have a specialist for every type of animal and I would like to do talks about animals and their care for children and their parents. I think it is really necessary to guide the people in this topic because people act if they don't care. As if animals are

Reading...

Through the years in the school, the teachers made me read a lot of books but the book I liked most in that times was "Wire's girls" by Jordi Sierra I Fabra and it's about a younger journalist who is trying to find the true history of three models who supposedly are dead.  After this, I read "Asylum" by Madeleine Roux and it's about a guy who is in a summer program and, with his girlfriend, started to find the mystery behind their bedroom which used to serve as a psychiatric hospital. I didn't read all the saga because I only liked the first book.  Time later, I find my current favorite author who is Jaime Mcguire. I have read all her books like "Red Hills", the saga of "Beautiful Disaster" and "All The Little Lights". My favorite one is Beautiful Disaster and it's a romantic story of Abby Abernathy and Travis Maddox. The last book I read this month was "the movie counter" by Hernán Rivera

Halloween....

Imagen
If Halloween started as a mystic celebration of the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, now is something to celebrate with all the families and friends. What I like most about Halloween is that we can wear a funny, creepy or cute costumes and anybody tell you something bad about this but the most important part is that you can go out and get a lot of candies. Through the years, this celebration starts to be a day to celebrate with and for my goddaughter. Her name is Antonella and she is everything for me.  The first Halloween I celebrated with her it was 4 years ago. She was so tiny and cute so I dress up as Minnie and she was a little princess. 😍 Actually, what I liked most of Halloween is see her happy face because I'm wearing a costume like her. She loves when I wear the same clothes as her.  All the years, we go out and, after that, we see a movie of Halloween for children while we eat all the candies.  This year,  I´m going to dress up as a mime and she going to be

My favorite subject at school

My favorite subject at school was physics because the teachers I had they make me understand this mix of math and theories easier. In my school, we have to choose a program related to the career we want to get when we out school so I choose the program which one have maths and physics. With this, the people who choose this program, they had more hours of maths and physics than the other people in my school.   I only had two teachers in all of my school days. the first one was German, who was really amazing. I didn't even know how he could remember all the material of the class. He taught physics in a simple way so everybody could understand him. The test with him was really complicated, sometimes he did a test with only three questions.  In the last year of school, I had another teacher who was David and he was completely different than teacher German. He taught us some funny experiments and, with this, He made us repeat the experiment so It was very funny.  They both made us t
