Socialist modernism: remembering the architecture of the eastern bloc



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 ideological requirements, giving the urban space a certain flavour so characteristic of those times,” says Dumitru Rusu who is part of Bacu. “Boulevards, public buildings, living units and monuments, they all are a clear reflection of the social and cultural context of the socialist period.”

I chose this new because it talks about something real. Is something which happens in the actuality.
I liked to read this article because it was related to my career and, in the future, I could do something to contribute and expand it in the whole world.

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...

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...

Another history about Fiestas Patrias

Imagen
Normally, in my house, we celebrate the Fiestas Patrias with friends or our family because my cousin's daughter is on birthday so we have a double celebration. Two years ago, my cousin Cony joined us after having been four years on a hospital because of her cancer. She was the youngest in our family and she had not been with us in more than four years. We only saw her on the hospital. That day we enjoyed her because we knew that day was going to be the last celebration of Fiestas Patrias with the whole family. The whole family celebrate with her and for her. We danced the Cueca with her with some problems but she was happy so that was the only things it matters at that moment. We played Chilean games and all the winners won a keychain and medals. We sang karaoke with her and was so funny because in my family anybody can sing. That day my sister was in the mall and my cousin called her because she wanted an ice cream so my sister had to search for all the ice cream sho...
