Where is the locality? The image asks. Due to the drift that has adopted our built context, unless what we see in the image is a new neighborhood, in most cases we will find nothing we can identify in the image. It has put us in a trap, because the answer can be Zarautz or Mungia. Many of the new neighborhoods are complemented by the repetitiveness of a building type, developed by a construction company and carried out by a single architect. In another country, the development of the new neighborhood manages to do the same construction companies, either by public competition or by the confidence of the private promoter, and the company agrees to play with the same architect and the architect decides to repeat the same neighborhood model. Repetitiveness in the house model, portal design, facade composition, material and color of the building, furniture of the plazuelas that form the buildings. The result is a monotonous built urban landscape converted into an architectural franchise. Let us not think that there is a desire to create a brand image of the builders and architects or that there is a model belief of a neighborhood. If the model repeated is good and beautiful…

If we started to qualify the quality of the urban landscape, the testimony would be of vital importance. When considering the context, the composition of the new buildings would be a dialogue with the elements already existing in the environment. The method of thinking about dialogue can be repetitive, but it would be a result of its own. Elements located in the foreground (a tent, a gestural peculiarity of the street) and distant planes (treetops, summit, horizon). By fine-tuning the sensory, the reflection of the sun in the building or the vibrations of the combination of materials, we have elements to take hold of the place with this perceptive richness, making it identifiable.

Fifth column

If the Ribera has historically been Euskaldun, it is the Byzantine debate (the Byzantine debate: a pointless debate in which each side cannot demonstrate its assertions to the other side) that has been repeated in Navarre for forty years. Jimeno Jurio, orthodox but reasonable,... [+]

Variants

When I change my house or, even more, when someone has left home, I have my head and heart filled with memories. So I start trying to decide what I'm going to keep and what I'm not. Because all objects bind us to something, or bring us to someone's memory, and therefore, to exclude... [+]


Land Uprisings

Outside the police state! They sing through the explosions of tear gas. Committed young people, amateur militants, covered faces, or not, clowns, musicians, trade unionists and politicians, doctors with a helmet, farmers on tractors... Both in the countryside and in the city,... [+]


What Palestine brings to the world

It is well known that some French companies (Thales, Airbus, Dassault) have long been helping Israel complete its military equipment. According to a survey by the Disclose Association, the French Government has supplied electronic components to Israel, in order to use drones to... [+]


Free thoughts

Things are not like that, things are like that. This phrase was recorded when I heard Gorka Urbizu's full and quiet album. I thought I'd made a great discovery with that identification, innocent! Later I realized that, besides being a motto for merchandising, it is an incomparable... [+]


Technology
WorldAA Vision

Human beings have never been easy to think calmly for long periods of time, we live with the responsibility of taking our lives forward, both ours and our descendants. In this opportunity that we have had to live, we want to do things as best we can. For these responsibilities,... [+]


Hysterical materialism
Deserved

I have quite a few existential crises around me. To pass adolescence/youth through hypocrisy, to represent what they wanted to be good people (being fair, it is foolish that says yes to what is not), it was to live a real life, it is more, to make revolution, and now, after forty... [+]


Locust strike in Zaballa

Since we were transferred to Euskal Herria from the prisons of the Spanish State, in the prison of Zaballa we have found many deficiencies in the field of communication. We have fewer and shorter face-to-face contacts, we have had to make visits to the speaker in poor technical... [+]


Music died (*we had) the day

On August 26, I woke up as if it were a normal Monday, I rose from bed and, with my arms overflowing, I woke up. But as soon as I got to the hallway, I knew that that wasn't one of those monotonous, heartless Monday forever. I found my parents in front of the computer reading the... [+]


Are we about to do that?

Russia invaded

Kursk is a historic region of Russia. He lived in peace until 6 August, when the Ukrainian army entered the city. About 15,000 men entered. Hundreds of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, air defense radars… the most modern weapons that exist today, brought from all... [+]

Open letter to the Education Counsellor (and II)

Dear Mrs:

How about summer? I hope. On this occasion, I will go to the point, with your permission.

As you know, coming into the competitive logic of ultra-liberal markets, educational institutions must implement all kinds of "projects". You should know that many of them do not... [+]

For complex responses

In these periods hyper accelerate and in these fluids the blunt responses offer us handles. It is easy in times of crisis to grasp such a premise and raise the flag. You need quick answers to understand everything that happens around you, which often leads us to look for the... [+]
