HI EVERYBODY!!!

SOME NEW WORLD EVENTS

**ON-SITE: NEW ARCHITECTURE IN SPAIN **
September 22nd - January 14th, 2006
Pabellón Villanueva in The Royal Botanical Gardens of Madrid, Spain

This exhibition was created by MoMA of New York some months ago and now we have the opportunity to visit it in Europe. The exhibition shown in Madrid has been enriched by two new complementary activities: “On Site Tour” and “On Site Talk”. First one are six thematic itineraries through Madrid and the second one a series of lectures related to the topic where relevant architects will be invited.

**MAGICAL URBANISM**

Well, this is not an event…….or not a usual one. Here i point you out a web site i found by chance. It is created and maintainined by Mike Ernst. He is right now traveling around the world with a urban studies programm, and this site is focused on this experience that i dare to call as an “event”
The site is interested because of the trip itself, but also all the links and archives he proposes. I am in touch with the boy and i invited him to participate in our future web, when ready.
If i were you i would really have a look to Mike’s site.

Flight Patterns

Wanted to share this with you: "Here’s a hypnotically beautiful image, generated using flight pattern data from the US Federal Aviation Administration. Done by Aaron Koblin" (from YouTube).

Besides, in the seminar in Helsinki we were shown very similar videos called TRacescape done by and Finnish photography student about the city and the cars & pedestrians moving there. Sadly there's only one shot to show you know.
