sistema espacial y material

 Akyles D.

Sistema espacial the amount of space that is usable or unusable, accessible or inaccessible sometimes wither it serves a function or not depends on how its seen-on whether or not you're a glass halve full or halve empty kind of person. Then there is a "Sistema material" in which the construct needs to be able to complete or fulfill its purpose or assignment the designer or architect strives to accomplish this by using and incorporating the right material that will survive the wear and tear, the forces of nature or the destructive tendencies of man. 

During the classroom lecture regarding the aforementioned mentioned topics, I found myself spacing out every now and again. Make no mistake it's not that the class was uninteresting, on the contrary it was stimulating constant thought most of which could be considered intrusive thoughts. one of the thoughts i found myself spaced out on while the lecture carried on was the idea of a perfect spacial system and a "oddly perfect" material system, let me explain. Could you imagine the traditionally perfect house in a country that can experience very cold temperatures but doesn't snow often maybe during 2 or 3 months of the year (this is important to the story) a two-story large house with an angled roof to prevent snow from accumulating a hose that is maybe 2 rooms away from being considered a small mansion? now imagine moving into such a hose the first thing you do is move the furniture and its easy a little too easy like whatever the floor is made of causes almost no friction, and you start to get concerned that the furniture might end up slipping and sliding all over the living room with a minimal amount of force. No matter this giant house was a steal there was bound to be something fishy about it but it nothing you and your family can't handle. now you try to decorate the walls but the nails they won't go in, you tried the hammer you tried the drill, but the nails won't go in the wall, but that's ok that's what two-sided tape is for but It won't stick, it refuses to stick to the wall. This... this is when it dawns on you that this perfect space that you got for a mysteriously affordable price is completely unusable.

and then i heard blah blah . . . blah? in the background and realized by the intonation that the professor asked a question, I looked down at my watch and realized that id been thinking about the irony of the perfect unusable space for at least 8 minutes. sorry professor.

the Guggenheim

 Akyles D. The Guggenheim in Bilbao is a either really expressive or really narcissistic or maybe both. I'm not sure anymore. This Guggenheim is extreme in its appearance its wavy in some parts and sharp in others. the museum can be seen as an absolute expression of art and creativity an absolute and undeniable gargantuan expression of the beautiful, chaotic and shifting nature of art, or not. This museum can also be seen as a narcissistic construction an absolute expression of the architects or those funding the project's absolute dominance over form and function regardless of the chaos or cost that it incurs.  At least these are the view I hold of the museum after observation and some investigation into its designer and those funding it.

i blame you, not sure for what yet but still, You!

 Akyles D.   So, class is over, and I decide that instead of taking the bus I'm going to walk home which it's about an hour, but I like the walk, it's nice even with the sweating and exhaustion. Now, however, its ruined and I can't decide if it's because I can't un-see all the mismatching of styles and architecture or because I can see just how little beauty it actually has, let me explain. So, I'm walking home and what do I see: 1. I see a tree but why is it there it's not part of a row of trees, yet it's clearly been put here on purpose I can tell because its branches and its Leafs are cut in some places presumably to keep its shape but again why? if anything, it's in the way, the tree is in a street corner not only that but if one is trying to go either enter the side street/neighborhood or exit and join the main road they can't see onto incoming traffic until the front of their car is sticking out and probably in the way that is if they d

i saw baraka

 Akyles D.  A movie about the human condition. baraka was mesmerizing, the imagery beautiful and the sounds captivating, some were annoying but still amazing. I found myself enjoying much of it, to my surprise, and falling asleep for a little bit at the end, to my shame. I have also found or developed an annoyance for an aspect of the "human condition", which is what baraka claims to illustrate. In part of Baraka, we are shown temples, markets, city roads not made of asphalt or concrete but of stone, steps that led to a body of water that was constantly used, ritual grounds, artistic marbles and castles all of them ancient and old and covered in dust, moss, rot and/or rust. this really bothered me because many of these places where in constant use, filled with people and full of activity yet it didn't look alive at all. why not? why are these places where goods are still sold, where people still walk, where they pray, where they pay respect to the traditions of their ance
