Casas Vivas?

"...en la actualidad se están construyendo ya dos versiones de este tipo de casas. Por un lado, un prototipo de una casa 100% viva, junto con una empresa llamada Plantware, especializada en la creación de estructuras mediante el trenzado de árboles. Y por otro lado, una vivienda, denominada MATscape, formada por paneles que pueden ser sustituidos o modificados y que va cambiando con el tiempo en simbiosis con el entorno."

Nuevo Lamento Borincano

(con la venia de Hernández y Sabina)

Sale muerto de verguenza,
falto de paciencia
para la ciudad, Ay,
para la ciudad.

Lleva en su pensamiento
todo un mundo lleno
de infelicidad, Ay,
de infelicidad.

Quiso remediar la situación
y votó con toda su ilusión, sí.

Molesto el jibarito va
pensando así, diciendo así,
jurando así por el camino:
Si un político agarro, mi Dios querido,
buena mandá al carajo le voy a dar.

Nerviosa, también su yegua va
al presentir, que aquel jurar
es un presagio de porfía,
y en eso les sorprende la luz del día
y al Capitolio llegan con muchos más.

Pasan la mañana entera
sin que nadie quiera
salir a escuchar, Ay,
salir a escuchar.

Todos los legisladores
dueños y señores
de la necedad, Ay,
de la necedad.

Se oye este lamento por doquier
en mi desdichada Borinquén, sí.

Furioso, el jibarito está
pensando así, diciendo así,
gritando frente al Capitolio:
Que gobiernen las putas,
mi Dios querido,
pues sus hijos no saben
gobernar!

Borinquen, ya basta que te den
con el rotén, sin tener quien
defienda tus mejores dones,
para que no te maten esos ladrones
túmbales la cabeza, y yo también.
Yo también.

"In pursuing blanquismo, he ordered Dominican troops to massacre 20,000 dark-skinned Haitian sugar cane workers in 1937, an action that he claimed was a sovereign response to the Haitian government's support of exiled Dominicans who were working to overthrow him. The US demanded that Trujillo pay reparations, which Trujillo bargained down to $500,000. The Haitian workers were identified as immigrants, and then murdered by the truckload, if they could not pronounce the letter r in "perejil" the Spanish word for parsley..."

"El lente de Tania Fernández nos transporta esta vez en un viaje tan fascinante como perturbador.

Por sobre el reflejo de las aspiraciones de mocosas aún sin identidad y en precelo, el poder de las imágenes de Fernández nos habla de los anhelos quiero-ser-burgués de unos padres con más complejas crisis identitarias y miembros de la mediatizada clase nuevobruto portorricensis..."

Some more

"S'more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, "some more", as in "Please, give me some more of that delicious treat." The informal nature of this term reflects the environment in which s'mores are traditionally served. Some have jokingly surmised that the name originated from people who were so busy eating the tasty dessert that they did not have time to speak in complete sentences, or alternately, that their enunciation was compromised by the fact that their mouth was still full of the previous s'more..."

New York en 10 Años

"(Jane) Jacobs’s vision was lovely but limited, with little room for new buildings, new neighborhoods. Rereading her arguments, one develops a sneaking admiration for the size of Moses’s thoughts. For the city to grow, it needed major change. Under Bloomberg, big thinking is happening again. What we have is a—some would say unholy—alliance of Bob and Jane. Exaltation of the neighborhood, coupled with the idea of building new ones from scratch."

Brooklyn's Flatiron?

"The lot is triangular and the building was designed to fit the site, not unlike the Flatiron Building, explained Dan Kaplan of the FXFowle Architectural firm, who designed the building.
Kaplan further explained that while the building size is taller than the surrounding “brownstone fabric,” it will utilize lighter colors to match the surrounding buildings. "

Post-Flood Architecture

This unconventional concept, by Dutch design firm MRDVD, envisions a school built inside a man-made hill with classrooms and other facilities protruding above sea level. The hill's exterior would be parkland, and the facility would serve as a flood refuge for local residents.

The Tank Man

"Tiananmen Square, Beijing, the largest public space in the world, created on an inhuman scale. The monumental public buildings that line the edges and the vast, treeless spaces in between speak of the insignificance of the individual before the might of the state.

The atmosphere here is edgy. Even with permits and government minders, our filming is constantly interrupted. Soldiers, policemen, men in plain clothes, all demand our papers. The authorities here are afraid of cameras. They know their power. They have hundreds of them trained on Tiananmen Square, their cameras..."

Indulgences...

The duo [Tobias Wong + Ken Courtney] took McDonald's classic coffee stirrer of the '70s — more notoriously used as drug paraphernalia...

Ken: It was all born from my wanting to cast the McDonald’s coffee stirrer in gold. I was browsing around on eBay one (1) night and came across one of the original stirrers someone was selling. It described how the spoons had been taken off the market in the late 70’s by the McDonald’s corporation when they found out that people were using them to do cocaine. I called Tobi and asked him to help me find a jeweler to work with and he mentioned the Bic Pen cap idea. That’s when I decided we should collaborate and make an entire line. Pun intended.
