Visual Arts - This is a Set Up

Today I did my set up for Visual Arts 3, lecture taught by Petteri Nisunen.  Thanks Matissek for helping me to hung it from the window, otherwise I couldn't have done it! THE CONCEPT The aim of the project is to use everyday materials and give them a  different meaning while they work with the sun creating a new atmosphere. The diminishing of daylight hours was taken as a reference to develop this new atmosphere, which will help the  onlooker to enjoy the sun in a new way, evoking new feelings. Conceptually, the project works  contrasting concepts, so every observer will get its own critical.  smooth-rough  cold-warm full-empty light-heavy translucent-opaque THE PLACE From the very beginning the idea was to d o a set up in busy space, so people could interact with it , and even be able to modify it. The architecture department was chosen because of its good location and the size and orientatio n of the windows. Anoter reason is that...

Helsinki - Winter Land

En el Campus ...nieve y hielo con una media de -10ºC los últimos días y unas 6h 15min del sol al día (y menguando) Se agradece la nieve, da mucha claridad, y el ruido que hace al pisarla me gusta tanto...nunca lo había oído tan de continuo. El edificio principal a medio día nos regala unos reflejos asombrosos Postales navideñas en cada rincón Caminos que la gente hace...ya que la nieve los ha sepultado En la ciudad , todo es distinto. El mar se empieza a congelar, la gente por la calle escasea descaradamente, no se mantienen conversaciones y sólo se sale al exterior para desplazarse. Hace mucho frío. Vistas de Töölönlahti (literalmente, el Lago de Töölö, en el noroeste de Helsinki), al fondo el parque de atracciones, la montaña rusa es de madera. Fui a visitar el Finlandia Hall por dentro, pero no me dejaron...tendré que volver a algún concierto, no me lo quiero perder!! Nieve everywhere

Stockholm - Cementerio del Bosque

Last weekend, in our short trip to Stockholm we had the great opportunity to visit the Wood's Cementery Complex, aslo known as  Skogskyrkogarden .  It's very close to the city center, you can easily reach the place by subway (using the green line, stopping in Skogskyrkogarden) The night before it was snowing so we found that beautiful place with a smooth snow coat over it...incredible! If you are planning a trip to Stockholm, you should definitely add this place as a must. Great atmosphere designed by Eric Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerenzt. On our way Main entrance, there were people visiting their relatives Path to the crematorium It was very cold, but it's worth Panorama of the crematorium's complex Graves Walking among graves Chapel of resurrection (Lewerenzt 1925) Visitors center (design by Asplund 1923, renovated in 1998) Woodland Chapel (Asplund 1920) Woodland Chapel (Asplund 1920) ...
