Open House Helsinki 2008

OpenHouseHelsinki is an event, which unconfines spaces normally restricted to public. There are guided tours into interesting buildings, interiors, landmarks and old and more recent architectural destinations. The tours are free of charge and powered by architects and other experts. I'll try to visit the 'Bunkkeri'

Hiding the Railways

A bit more about Uvieo's architecture. To cover the railways the city built these colourful houses. I find that the conservative government realised at last that we are in the XXI century.
Un poquitín más sobre la arquitectura en 'Carbayonia'. Na mi opinión los edificios que punxeron al soterrar les víes son mui prestosos.

Although the old city (from IX-X century) is very nice, the urban furniture has been, so far, dull and pretentious. This new direction is very refreshing.
El cascu vieyu mola pero col mobiliariu decimonónicu, y el pesebre d'estatues, fiede demasiáu a "rancio abolengo". Lo de Calatrava y estes casines parecenme un pasu refrescante a la contemporaneidá.

The most hated building in Uvieo

In arriving to Asturies we spent the first night at my mother's place. Walking around Uvieo we were struck by this building appearing in between the streets. This is a work of the architect Santiago Calatrava. Most people I met say the building is horrible and that the location is too tight for the size of the construction. In my opinion the size is a success. When approaching from some street you can perceive bits of the impressive, sleek structures. The interior was a disappointment, a regular shopping mall. More photos
La primera nueche n'Asturies pasámosla n'Uvieo en casa mio madre. En paseando pela ciudá sorprendionos una gran estructura blanca onde taba'l vieyu Tartiere. Yera'l tan denostáu edificiu de Calatrava. A nós gustonos mucho. Nun me pareció encaxonáu, al contrariu, mola que te sorprenda y que nun se revele enteru hasta que nun tas xusto delantre. Por dientro decepcionome, ye otru centru comercial, plagáu de tiendes y escuru. Dicen también que tien forma centollu, pamidea parezse más a una ñocla. Animal mui guapu dígase de pasu. Más fotos

Berliini Huhtikuu 2005

Now that our summer vacation is approaching :) I thought about showing the photos from a short trip we made to Berlin in April 2005. I really liked the architecture, specially the modern bits. The natural history museum wasn't bad at all either. See the complete photo set.
Agora que nuestres vacaciones de veranu tán al caer, pensé en enseñavos les fotos d'un viaxe curtiu que ficimos a Berlín en Abril de 2005. Gustóme mucho la arquitectura, especialmente les partes modernes. El muséu d'historia natural tampoco defraudó. Ver toles fotos.

Tuusulan rantatie

Roihuvuoren vesitorni

As time goes by I fancy more the constructions made of concrete and steel. Close to our place is the water-tower of Roihuvuori, the painting on the tower was made by Heikki Kuula
