Free How To Build A Dune Buggy



This afternoon I walked around La Rambla Palermo seeking steps. Here are the results of the research: two theaters with two beautiful staircases are not accessible, enclosed by a fence because black; some church steps with his 5-6, convenient for those who ask for alms; the steps that raise the sights of the main square, freely available since the statues are bounded only in the highest step, the steps of the Temple of Music, which has just a chain, perhaps to avoid the wheels of daring raids, but certainly ironic echo, this afternoon, and finally some nice stairs that serve mezzanines, in private gardens.

situation tolerable.

deleted preserve the architecture and gardens, yes. But it is fair to say what we lose, we must be aware that we can not accept the invitation of the architecture to sit at his feet.

Transcend Chennai Service Center

so good on the Scales

"You should learn to live more in scale. But how?" (G. Perec)


L stairs and architectural objects are constituted by the progressive sequence of steps. The eye runs along the recursion.

scales are used to bridge the gap between a floor and another, because life takes place in a floor or another.

But I guess a floor as a huge step and a scale that is not only to climb or descend. A kind of space in which to stop, look, talk. Nothing to do with those of our condos: empty of people and quiet, uninteresting parts of a project *. Exist because you put the case that breaks the elevator ... And then they can not be that bad and sad. Measure a few feet, get old for an absence. Nobody cares.

Unlike in our past. Can the bleachers theatrical scenes of temples and public buildings, palaces of the stairs. Uncontrollably moved up the stairs of neighborhoods: those messy ones with flowers, buckets of water, capped by washing hung out to dry.

The stairs inside the house, with colorful peppers hung up to dry.

And those stairs but were not called "scale of service."


I'm not sure reactionary. But it reasoned that We made the stairs of our apartment buildings virtually useless. Yet they are needed. So why not work on it and make it something other than an occasional place of passage? I realize that talk like that, while in Dubai the elevators are 60 feet in one second, is a bit 'out of fashion. But if man is not old-fashioned, do not say things so out of fashion.


* On the other hand what they were going to find in these high pedestals that we call buildings?
