PLATAFORMA ARQUITECTURA


I´m going to talk about my favourite website of architecture that I enjoy visiting. This website is www.plataformaarquitectura.cl, where you can find very updated information about architecture and you can find a lot of topics related to the career. You can see a variety of products and construction materials, that you can use in an architecture project, for example if you need to do a bathroom or a kitchen you can look in this catologue for a lot of ideas. There are published architecture books were you can find some technical and visual ideas for your work. One book is the Neufert, very used by architects, because there you can see the adequate dimensions to project different spaces: Theaters, hospitals... and others.
The website is very complete. You can see architecture projects that are under construction now, architecture of all the world and architects' projects that participate in a tender to compete for doing public buildings.
If you are interested in looking at how architects manage the light in a building, you can see a lot of projects and rescue some ideas when you need it. Or if you are going to do a wood construction, you can see a lot of buildings using this material and how the architects manage it.
The website is very very interesting! so I hope you can see it. It´s very complete so I used it very often to take ideas for my works or only to see what´s going on with architecture in the world today. I´m subscribed to the web so I recibe e-mails with architecture news.

THE SIMPSONS




A TV show that I really like is The Simpsons, it´s about a funny family formed by a stupid dad called Homero, he is very fat and he drinks a beer called Duff every day. Marge is his wife, she is a very caring mum and she loves him. There are 3 children, Bart that is the rebel one, Lisa the intelligent one and Maggie the baby that doesn´t speak yet. My boyfriend says that The Simpsons are like my family, The Delgado show jaja and I´m Lisa, because I´m the one in the middle of my siblings jajaja.
On vacations I could see it every day, but now I see it when I can after university. I like it very much because it´s a moment that makes me laugh a lot and sometimes I see it with my family, so it´s very funny. I think The Simpsons are different from other cartoons, because they are oriented to older people and it has very funny jokes for adults principally. The family that presents this TV show is like a typical family that lives in another region and has a good relation with people in the neighborhood and all the people know each other. The unfortunate events that the characters experience make the program funnier than others and can make you laugh spontaneusly.
