JMMag & Partners: octubre 2010

World Architecture Festival Barcelona del 3 al 5 de Noviembre del 2010

El próximo día 3 de Noviembre estaremos en Barcelona con motivo del WAF.
Mucho me temo que nuevamente tendremos que metabolizar toda la información que en este festival internacional de arquitectura se va a exponer. Sobre todo cuando venimos de la Bienal de Venecia con los cientos de actividades y Pabellones que nos hizo reducir al máximo la información acumulada ya que el propio material que traemos de vuelta en papel y digital superaba la carga permitida del avión ya que estaba en torno a 30 kg sin incluir los formatos digitales. La propia generosidad de Architectural Record y Architecture Reviewe en invitarnos a participar como Media Partner nos motiva en este reto y esperamos realizar algunos reportajes sobre el evento que esperamos sea de vuestra satisfacción.
La organización nos traslada parte del programa oficial confirmado y os animo a encontrarnos en Barcelona.

The next day, November 3 will be in Barcelona for the WAF.
I fear that once again we will have to metabolize all the information in this international festival of architecture will be exposed. Especially when we come to the Venice Biennale with the hundreds of activities and pavilions that made us to minimize the information accumulated since the material that we bring back into digital paper and exceeded the allowable load of the aircraft as it was around 30 kg not including digital formats. The very generosity of Architectural Record and Architecture Review in inviting us to participate as a Media Partner motivates us in this challenge and hope to make some reports about the event that we hope will be of your satisfaction.
The organization takes us part of the official confirmed, and I encourage you to meet in Barcelona.

Little Big Berlin (HD)

En el anterior post San Francisco: La ciudad en miniatura me preguntaba como se podia editar tan singular video con esta apariencia de miniatura. Como es logico pensaba que se realizaba a traves de una lente especial, pero en cualquier caso era la primera vez que lo veia. Scduso2 nos ha dejado un comentario linkandonos el video HD que os dejo mas abajo como una verdadera obra de arte en esta modalidad de apariencia en miniatura. Tambien copio los detalles que da el mismo autor sobre la grabacion y postproducccion ademas del link a la pagina de Vimeo.

Little Big Berlin from pilpop on Vimeo.

I dedicate this film to Berlin where I have been living for 19 years now. While the architecture of Berlin is stunningly beautiful, only its inhabitants make Berlin the unique city that it is. In every corner there is something new to discover. And the best thing to do is to film it.

Filmed with my beloved Sony HC9. Edited with Sony Vegas Pro 9.The miniature effect is called tilt-shift, which originates from a particular lens that was used to photograph architecture. The miniature effect is a by-product of that. It can also be achieved by digital postprocessing.
Music: “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2” by Franz Liszt
........................................................................................................................................................................

Diesen wundervollen Film widme ich meiner Stadt Berlin in der ich seit 19 Jahre lebe. Die Berliner Architektur ist zwar besonders schön, aber erst mit den Berlinern wird Berlin zu so einer einmaligen schönen Stadt wie sie eine ist. Man kann an jedem Eck etwas besonderes entdecken. Und am besten filmt man dies auch gleich. :D

Gefilmt mit meiner geliebten Sony HC9. Geschnitten und bearbeitet mit Sony Vegas Pro 9. Den Miniatur Effekt nennt man Tilt Shift, dessen Ursprung von einem bestimmten Objektiv stammt, mit dem man sonst eher Architektur fotografiert aber dieser Effekt ein Nebenprodukt ist. Digital lässt sich dieser Effekt nachstellen.

Die geniale Musik stammt von "Franz Liszt" mit "Hungarian Rhapsody No.2".

San Francisco: La ciudad en miniatura

Este es el titulo que cuelga el autor:

This heat, it's terrible. It's making everyone lethargic and unhappy. Take three minutes to remind yourself why you live here.

Este calor, es terrible. Haciendo a todos aletargados e infelices. Tomar tres minutos para recordar por qué vivir aquí.

El efecto de la lente da una imagen como si fuera una miniatura de forma que la ciudad parece convertirse en una maqueta donde los pequeños muñequitos asemejan a las personas. Interesante efecto que podría generar ideas para realizar montajes singulares. Desconozco -en cualquier caso- que tipo de lente se ha usado para tomar esta instantánea o grabar este video.

Museo del Holocausto de Los Angeles: Belzberg Arquitectos–Belzberg Architects: Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust

Belzberg Arquitectos, del estudio de Santa Mónica, han finalizado el diseño del nuevo Museo del Holocausto de Los Ángeles (LAMOTH). Abierto ahora al publico, el museo tiene un techo ondulado verde que termina en la esquina noroeste de Los Ángeles "Pan Pacific Park” actuando como un anexo al monumento del Holocausto ya existente. El museo multicultural tiene como objetivo integrarse completamente en el espacio verde público, minimizando el impacto visual sobre la atmósfera del parque.
El techo, de sutiles alturas, cuenta con líneas gráficas de hormigón que divide la superficie en una serie de zigzagueantes caminos peatonales. Con un corte a través del centro se encuentra la rampa de entrada descendente, que se estrecha en un espacio interior ya que es flanqueada por techos inclinados alterando la perspectiva de las plantas. El diseño de la distribución y circulación mantiene vivo el instituto de 50 años de historia, la utilización de los elementos subterráneos del edificio evoca ciertas emociones a los visitantes. El uso inteligente de la luz natural desde la planta superior alivia la oscuridad y la atmósfera de compresión proporcionada por las columnas de hormigón proyectado.

santa Mónica based office belzberg architects has finished the design of the new los ángeles museum of the holocaust (LAMOTH). now open to the public, the museum features an undulating green roof that pulls up the northwest corner of los angeles' pan pacific park. serving as an annex
to the already existing holocaust monument, the multi-cultural museum aims to integrate completely into the public green space, minimizing the visual impact on the park's atmosphere.
the roof, while subtle in height, features graphic lines of concrete that divides the surface into a series of zigzagging pedestrian paths. slicing through the center is the descending entry ramp, which tapers in to an interior space that is flanked by sloped ceilings and perspective-altering floors. the design
of the layout and circulation kept conscious the institute's 50 year history, utilizing the building's underground elements to evoke certain emotions from the visitors. clever usage of natural light from above alleviates the darkness and compressive atmosphere provided by the shotcrete columns.
