The city we want
- Imagine a large room full of architects, listening to speeches of significant international voices of the moment. Inform you that this scenario has been built recently, from 8 to 10 September, very close to our houses, in the Baluarte de Pamplona. It is organized by a private foundation dedicated to the promotion of architecture, without the presence of the Basque and Spanish in English.
Architects, economists, sociologists and other disciplines have revolved around the question “how should the city we want be?”, recognizing that interdisciplinarity is the fundamental basis for making the city. It has become clear that the future of cities must act on the resilience of climate change, the rehabilitation of neighborhoods, the creation of a decent housing park, the mobility model, the right to public space, the guarantee of equality and health. They are all a high degree of complexity and a lot of problems that cross, and they have all unanimously accepted the character and new dimension of the challenges of the future, which the urban recipes used so far do not serve. The concept of city is in crisis.
It highlights the number of deaths and illnesses caused by cities and the number of situations of inequality they cause. Because architects are fond of building wood buildings, local resources and reused materials, and working to make the streets greener, because of their technique and aesthetics, but it is more uncomfortable for us to think about the appropriate urban systems to care for and deal with the affairs of the elderly, arguing that it is the function of others. The city is a transformative political instrument, whether it likes it or not, and the role of the architect is as essential as necessary in this social construction, if he is trained to think in a broad letter, for every living being.

On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]
The third time I received the same data as the student, I remembered nothing more than those widely used phrases, in which nothing had crushed my intelligence. “We are nothing,” “life makes no sense,” “God, if he is as innocent as they say, why does this do us?” It... [+]
In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]
It was impossible to guess who was or who was the motto I read, but who was!

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

The responsibility lies with the Zionist State of Israel, which, with the help of a large part of the population, soldiers, settlers, etc., is doing ethnic cleansing and genocide against the countries and peoples around it.

That was said to me by the former student, who took a long time to file a complaint that was in court months and who, on the recommendation of the psychologist, had withdrawn the complaint of rape. And I kept quiet, unable to guess what to tell the young man that he still had... [+]
Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.
In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]
It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]
