MODULAR HOME 4MG2PT

On a grid of 2438 x 2438 mm. four modules standard type 1 (12192 x 2438 x 2896 mm.) are available. Two of them make up the living (hall, living, kitchen-dining, laundry and storage or toilet) and two, located above previous and rotated 90 degrees, are the sleeping area (bedrooms, bathroom, toilet and closets).

The configuration of the house is complete with modules (4876 x 2438 x 500 mm.) which like trays, filled with the soil and vegetation of the area and separated 200 mm. from the ceiling of the modules, make a ventilated roof and protective of solar radiation.

On the uppermost deck put solar collectors (thermal and photovoltaic).

The arrangement of the modules enables the home has cross ventilation and outdoor spaces are differential use while having a continuous flow.

The way the building can be configured aggregations of isolated houses to the medium density.

Absence/presence

ARCHITECTURE PAVILLION

When Structuralists and Post-Structuralists make the apparently outrageous claim that every object is both a presence and an absence, they mean that an object is never fully there – it is there to the extent that it appears before us, but is not there in so far as its being is determined by its relation to the whole system of which it is part, a system that does not appear to us.- Donald Palmer.

Sorpresas

ARMCHAIR 111013

"El recorrido por el Páramo le deparó algunas sorpresas. Una positiva: el crecimiento de los rebaños en Peñaflor de Hornija, donde se había rebasado la cifra de diez mil cabezas, y otras dos negativas: la viuda Pellica había muerto y Hernando Acebes, el corresponasal de Torrelobatón, había sufrido una perlesía y, aunque el barbero de Villanubla le había sangrado dos veces, no recuperaba y allí estaba sentado el día entero en una butaca de mimbre en el zaguán de su casa, como un inútil." - El Hereje. Miguel Delibes.

Globalization

DESK CHAIR 111008

Globalizaton variously signifies the hegemony of a worldwide capitalist system on the economic plane; the superseding of the primacy of the nation-state by transnational arrangements, both formal and informal, on the political one; the emergence of new, networked information and communication instrumentalities on the technological one; and the advent of an increasingly homogeneous, consumer oriented lifestyle and mentality on the cultural one.- Joan Ockman.

Machines

The new artistic sensibility of the twentieth century has not only felt the beauty of the machine, but has also taken cognizance of its unlimited expressive possibilities for the arts.- Theo van Doesburg.

Linguistics

CAMA 111106

Linguistics is also radical because of the way it seems to overthrow realism (the view that there is a real world out there that can be known by the human mind) and to replace it with a linguistic relativism (what we can know is the system of concepts generated by the arbitrary structures of language).- Donal Palmer.

Eco-tech

The only way to make change is to make that which you hope to change obsolete.- Buckminster Fuller.
