Fav Web Site


mmm, weird question, there is so many websites that i spend time on that it´s weird to choose one. It could sound like a easy way out but i have to say google, and i choose it despite of that i hate the monopoly of the internet that it has. I spend a lot of time looking out images from google and i really like the idea of a portal for an other world, and i think that google means that. You just enter any word and it opens to you a whole new world of things that you dont know. In theory it´s quite similr to the concept behind the google earth.

I thin that Internet democratize the access to free information, the access to know as many information as you can get without manipulation. and it just allows you to know the same as someone that lives in the other side of the world, someone rich, someone poor, it just dont discriminate. and Google is a site that makes it possible.


This picture shows google´s plans to dominate the world :)

Victory City

As architects we know that there is a ton of city models around with ideals for a better quality of life. Tis city remainds me Colonia Dignidad and i dont really liked not because the fact of the bad things that happened there, just because i dont understand tje wish of run away from the real world. It really surprised me when i read the web site, i think i never heard about it. When i read it i felt like someone is trying to sell me an apartment more that defending his own ideal. I dont like this kind of advertisement where they put all the great things, when i can see that there is a bunch of bad stuff that it can brings to people´s life. I believe in a city of the future where people will be more conected and with a global vision of the world and the problems in it, not a closed city with all that you need, clean air, no expences, no crime, no nothing. I think it´s a selfish way to be conscious about your world. It reflex a vision of a 13 years old boy that thought that living in a bubble far away from the real life would be the best for the future.

My favorite song

I just cant think in just one song to write about it. I really believe that favorite songs are those that marks in some way a special moment in our lives. Once in a while think in songs that make me feel like i did in a special place. I used to like a lot alanis morrisette and when i listen her i just think a bunch of friends that i had in my childhood and that for diferents reasons i lost touch with. i have in my head a lot of songs in my head from pearl jam as black and Jeremy and from incubus that we used to hear in the breaks from school. I have special love to Incubus because it remainds me good times on vacations in Rapel. I have a song from alanis Morrisette that i love called Unsent. I have a girly taste of music ad if have to choose one song over all the rest i think that i would have to say I miss you, Incubus.
