CAP Americano Sur Adeb Wjanz[2014] College of Architecture and Planning Department of Architecture Ball State University Proposal for Foreign Field Study Program: CAP Americano Sur 2014 [South America + Europe] First summer session: May 16 to June 18 Program director: Associate Professor Ana de Brea Co-director / Invited Faculty: Professor Wes Janz Purpose of the trip: Introduce the students to the unique urban and social history and culture of four countries related to the Latin Culture: Ecuador + Argentina + Portugal + Spain through a study of the architecture and the built environment. Students will travel to selected cities to compare, research, and learn about the art, culture, and architecture in the different countries and the Latin culture. Interdisciplinary collaboration, cultural exchange, and the unique experience of traveling, living, and interacting in different cultures during a month long field study will help students place their university education within a global and cross-cultural perspective. Program description: Ecuador, Argentina,Portugal, and Spain are four significant countries of the Latin atmosphere. Although these countries share common lines of understanding and looking at the world of architecture and design, the choice of these countries for this Ball State University CAP Americano Sur Study Abroad Program 2014 will allow the students discern the unique and distinct cultural, social, topographical, and urban conditions of the four nations by using a comparative, analytical perspective. Scheduled for the first summer session 2014 in this trip the students will visit selected cities: Guayaquil, Quito, Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastian, and La Coruña, and will participate in a 2-day workshop at Cordoba National University [invitation by Ian Dutari architect and chair of the department of architecture]. During the tour the students will also have the opportunity to meet, interview, interact, and learn from reputed Latin American architects: Ian Dutari, Claudio Ferrari, David Barragan, Alvaro Siza Vieyra, Diane Gray, Mauro Bianucci, and Santiago Cirugeda. Pedagogical goals: . Interdisciplinary learning: By making this field study program open to all qualified students from more than one department and program [architecture, landscape architecture, planning, art and journalism, languages, Latin American studies, geography, history, anthropology among others] this course aims to emphasize and interdisciplinary learning experience. Scholarship of integration: By examining the built environment as part of an encompassing cultural landscape students will avoid the difficulties of looking at culture, architecture, planning, and arts as isolated phenomenona. Therefore, this trip emphasizes making connections. Outreach and Collaboration: This field study course intends to make lasting connections with students and teachers at different universities of the Latin world. Ana de Brea has already initiated such collaborations with these universities since Summer 2002. 1 CAP Americano Sur 2014 – Argentina/Colombia/Portugal/Spain 34 days / Four countries / Two continents / Ten Cities First Summer Session May 16 to June 18 Estimative total cost per student [considering 15 students]= $ 4,700.- Cost of the trip includes: _ Air Fare(s) _ Train trips _ Insurance [BSU] _ Lodging _ breakfast [every day] _ In & Out in every city [airport-hotel / hotel-airport] _ Six evening meals _ BSU Study Abroad Contigency Fund _ BSU Study Abroad Program Fee The cost of the trip is approximate [very close to the actual but not completely accurate].

  • Impacto De Las Construcciones De Hormigón En El Paisaje Urbano
    IMPACTO DE LAS CONSTRUCCIONES DE HORMIGÓN EN EL PAISAJE URBANO. IMPACT OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIONS ON THE URBAN LANDSCAPE. Anahí López1-2, Alejandro R. Di Sarli3, Luis P. Traversa4 1 Investigador Asistente. CICPBA - [email protected] 2 UTN-FRLP/LEMaC, La Plata, Argentina. Docente-Investigador UTN 3 Investigador Emérito CONICET - CIDEPINT. 4 Investigador Emérito CICPBA - LEMIT - RESUMEN 69 El hormigón es un material de construcción que ha evolucionado de acuerdo con las necesidades políticas, sociales, económicas y tecnológicas de cada país o región. Debido a las diversas funcionalidades, su impacto social puede adquirir un carácter artístico o histórico a través de los monumentos, esculturas o mobiliario urbano que integran el paisaje construido. Además, es una alternativa que permite materializar pensamientos al involucrarlo como una pasta que modela, es decir, un material sin forma que toma la del molde que lo contiene y cuya apariencia final está condicionada por el tipo de terminación. Este trabajo presenta tres casos antagónicos entre sí y ejecutados en diferentes momentos históricos. Las obras de carácter innovador impactaron en el paisaje según valores tangibles e intangibles y, además, demostraron la versatilidad de las mezclas hechas con cemento. El primer caso es el Nuevo Teatro Argentino, ubicado en la ciudad de La Plata, construido después de la destrucción del original; el segundo es el Puente de la Mujer (Arq. Ing. Calatrava) y, finalmente, el plan de urbanización pensado por el Gobernador M. Fresco a fines de la década del 30 y ejecutado por el Arq. Ing. F. Salamone. Palabras clave: Impacto, hormigón, Béton brut, movimiento moderno, Art decò.

  • Destination Report
    Miami , Flori daBuenos Aires, Argentina Overview Introduction Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a wonderful combination of sleek skyscrapers and past grandeur, a collision of the ultrachic and tumbledown. Still, there has always been an undercurrent of melancholy in B.A. (as it is affectionately known by expats who call Buenos Aires home), which may help explain residents' devotion to that bittersweet expression of popular culture in Argentina, the tango. Still performed—albeit much less frequently now—in the streets and cafes, the tango has a romantic and nostalgic nature that is emblematic of Buenos Aires itself. Travel to Buenos Aires is popular, especially with stops in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Palermo— and each of its colorful smaller divisions—and the array of plazas that help make up Buenos Aires tours. Highlights Sights—Inspect the art-nouveau and art-deco architecture along Avenida de Mayo; see the "glorious dead" in the Cementerio de la Recoleta and the gorgeously chic at bars and cafes in the same neighborhood; shop for antiques and see the tango dancers at Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo Street Fair on Sunday; tour the old port district of La Boca and the colorful houses along its Caminito street; cheer at a soccer match between hometown rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate (for the very adventurous only). Museums—Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA: Coleccion Costantini); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes; Museo Municipal de Arte Hispano-Americano Isaac Fernandez Blanco; Museo Historico Nacional; Museo de la Pasion Boquense (Boca football); one of two tango museums: Museo Casa Carlos Gardel or Museo Mundial del Tango.
