Arcology...Paolo Soleri.

Arcology
In nature, as an organism evolves it increases in complexity and it also becomes a more compact or miniaturized system. Similarly a city should function as a living system. Arcology, architecture and ecology as one integral process, is capable of demonstrating positive response to the many problems of urban civilization, population, pollution, energy and natural resource depletion, food scarcity and quality of life. Arcology recognizes the necessity of the radical reorganization of the sprawling urban landscape into dense, integrated, three-dimensional cities in order to support the complex activities that sustain human culture. The city is the necessary instrument for the evolution of humankind." - Paolo Soleri
The generational Arcology development.

This is the theoretical definition of a "radical" urban system, rooted in the historical evolution of habitat. It is the view of habitat as a cluster of social, economic, cultural activities and of the kind of life it encourages. The notion of crowding is seen as a sine qua non condition for the inception of the Urban Effect. Thus crowding, far from being a necessary evil, is the imperative any form of life is blessed with because once crowding subsides, the system dies. With it the organism or the association of organisms (the city for instance) breaks down, as parts scatter away (suburbia) returning to the uncrowded surrounding expectant of a novel "crowding together" into the next organism.
The Second Generation Arcology (2° GA)
Two Suns Arcology Concept Model : photo : Ivan Pintar
This phase can be literally described as a splitting of the architectural concepts of the First Generation Arcologies in half, exposing the core to the sun. This gives a greater voice to the renewable energy of the sun and inserts arcology even more effectively into its own ecological niche. It also makes clear the name of arcology as architecture-ecology.
Arcosanti originally outlined in the mode of the 1° G.A. was subsequently redesigned in the mode of the 2° G.A. The Two Suns Arcology designs represent the majority of work stemming from the second generation concepts.and inserts arcology even more effectively into its own ecological niche.

The Third Generation Arcology (3° GA)

The Third Generation Arcology is an attempt at "packaging" so to speak, the Second Generation Arcology. Modular and possibly standardized structures would be articulated in a variety of arrangements and sizes so as to fit specific conditions (the environment, the climate, the culture, the technological conditions, the size of the community, etc.).
The Fourth Generation Arcology (4° GA)

The Fourth Generation Arcology is the 3° G.A. of land and oceans "taking off for outer space", in as much as the packaging of the 3°G.A. is an anticipation with its many facets and consequences, of the mandatory packaging of the 4° G.A. The 4° GA is represented by writings, graphics and models.

Question of the day...

When was the last time that you hold fire between your hands...?
Cuándo fue la última vez que sostuviste fuego entre tus manos...?

Cosmic debris...


I'm not containing magic, I'm not taking any reason to go on, I'm not taking reasons to move on, I'm not a mured of missconceptions... I just want to stroke in a valley of tenderness...
...'u, still the primal delirium, still the choice to take... still the time phases that I want to trade... don't in a cosmic debris... let's be whole... act both like one.

Misery is a Butterfly... Blonde Redhead.


Many ways... songs remains, in spots of lightening... remember that is no trade to slowly become dead.
You can follow the elements of the spare otherworldliness and bittersweet tension refining the split of you spirit and eternal confination.

Filterd by imagination... let you possess by...
Blonde Redhead.

Simone Pace: drums, percussion, machines

Detrás de páginas...

Qué inexplicable salida a la efímera plancha que dicta todos los días, deslindarse de lo corrupto y constante. Nadie porta en los fantasmas de los brazos ya arrancados una razón complaciente, los dedos fingen horadar entre lágrimas el ansia contenida... aun recaigo en cuentos de invierno.

Listen Elisa... and enjoy!


The night vault of my lights...

I presume that my arms are gone,
First, I take my tricks to come,
Second in the game... before,
I sleep with my fingers nobody,
I run screaming in sheets of filth,
They are keeped, locked and wicked,

In the midnight vault of my lights...


...the brightest, warmer, I keep you in the glow of my early tears...

Avándaro está de regreso...

Avándaro esta de regreso.

El Festival de Avándaro se celebro 1971 con una asistencia de alrededor de 200 mil personas que acudieron al desorganizado evento.





Después de Avandaro 1971 todo sería muy diferente para el rock mexicano, el rock sería perseguido, satanizado, el rock mexicano era una arma masiva de reflexión para el sistema y una sociedad conservadora.

Hoy, 35 años después, resurge el Festival de Rock Avándaro 2006, en un foro abierto a la música, a la comunicación y al espíritu de libertad y respeto que nacieron en la revolución más grande que ha vivido el planeta.

El evento se llevará a cabo en un terreno de mas de 1 millón de metros cuadrados que contempla áreas de estacionamiento para más de 40 mil autos y autobuses, un enorme track comercial y de servicios, áreas de exhibición, áreas de camping y dos enormes explanadas de 500 mil metros cuadrados para el montaje del concierto en vivo y la música electrónica.

El Festival de Rock Avándaro 2006 será un mensaje poderoso del valor de la comunicación, la expresión y el respeto a la individualidad, la sociedad y la naturaleza. Avándaro 2006 es una leyenda que revive en un reencuentro con los valores que dieron sentido y dirección a toda una generación.

Fisting glimpse...



Alone... the butterflies flaps cut sorrounding me... my troath is a knot... the rain is coming from the north... my shadow is still dry... I'm just shy... I'm just shy...


...my story is written between lines... a cosmic debris... give me end.

Elisa... taking back your memories...



Now in the scene of progressive ambiental metal, Elisa is coming with a group of mellodic songs that sounds like a stunning mix of enviromental emotions... one... then other... a nonstopping delirium of riffs... half times... and a reclusion in the echoes of this instrumental voices... Listen Elisa... and enjoy!

How will you commit suicide?


Cutting
You will cut yourself to bits and pieces and bleed to death, and I doubt that it will be the first time cutting. You so alone, so sad, don't let others bring you down. Stay away from knifes and enjoy life.

Breathing jellyfish...

Si has paseado sobre los nudos de la madera, engendrarás la irá.... vendrá la ternura. Si al final llegas a una orilla, el tiempo espera, la muerte se frena, la vida llega, el mundo tiembla.


...y seguiré estando aquí, aislado, ahogándome en la espera.

Robota... again... and again...


Once again... and again... and again...
Robota
"The conceptual new noise daring you..."

When the chords of noise start to cut the air... It's time to illusion... Robota will whirl across the wind... and the sound will compress your hears...

The final scenes.... Laurie Lipton.

Laurie Lipton... an honor to watch her drawings... lovely, deep and cold.


The last dance.


The last embrace.
