THE ARREST OF BABEL .

Some time ago in the architecture school, the teacher asked us to think about a Project out of the Standards.

So I ended up thinking about this, and I felt  will of sharing it with you.

THE ARREST OF BABEL

I think everyone’s already heard about the LIBRARY OF BABEL, A story of the argentine writer and poet  Jorge Luiz Borges.

I’ll try to summarize it, but sorry, If I forget something

The  library (the universe) contains all the information  possible in the universe, and its librarians, they try constantly discover them.

It's a metaphysical complex of an infinity number of rooms with an hexagonal floorplan, with five sides ( six less one)built with shelfes, and one side that gives access to a small vestibule, with two compartment one by each side ( right and left), where it’s possible to make the basic  necessities in one or  sleep in vertical position in the other.  This vestibule also makes connection with others floors, and by it passes an espiral stair, that connect with other floor up or down. Besides that, there are vains that make infinity holes bordered by body guards, which passes by the rooms toward the infinity, and the dead are thrown down  and have like fate go down forever.

But let’s think that the creative mind, now sick, decided to change this income complex in a prison.

The shelfes are replaced by walls and the accesses shall to be protected for special guards.

The Matrix of Borges is,now, a prison complex of maxim security, because it’s the own universe.

The prisoner can't run away, because he’s , as said Carl Sagan (Who I’d like to have had the honor of knowing personaly) part of the Cosmos and can’t leave it.

It could be the perfect prison!

Crazy?...., this is the point!

Well, I usualy let  clear, that I like what isn’t obvious, but what makes us imagine for more crazy that the event can appear.

And If you look without concepts, we're part of the universe, and we are linked to it, So we are forever stuck to ourselves,…, well,……, But it’s out of my reach, so I prefer to let it for my psicologist!

I hope you appreciate!

 Thank you so much!

LA PRIGIONE DEL BABEL

Imaginiamo una prigione, da dove nessuno può lasciare, perchè lei è un complesso infinito,..., questo è il  universo stesso!

La obra di Jorge Luiz Borges è, ora chiaro, con modificazione architettonico, un complesso maglia di camere, dove ogni abitante ha diventato un prigioniero

Arrestato insieme al suo universo stesso!

ASpetto che voi piace!

Grazie!

LA PRISÓN DE BABEL.

Imaginemos una prisón, de donde ninguno puede escapar, porque es el  universo mismo
Un Infinito complejo, sin nudos, intrincado.
La prisón perfeita, baseada en la obra de Jorge Luiz Borges.

Espero que usted pueda entender el mi español.

Gracias

Christmas Crib / Culla di Natale

Ok!

I’m an architect!

So What am I doing with a Christmas crib?

I think that architects must make any intervention in the space.

And do you want anything more beautiful, in this month?

As a Christian, I always made Christmas Cribs, even due to a familiar tradition.

And this was great to make.

The idea was born last year.

We were without the appropriate materials, as usual in the previous years.

But it was just to appear a cloth and an wooden rod, and the crib was prepared.

A simple tensioned cloth with the angel sustaining it.

The idea's been good, and I decided use it this year again.

It was added a black strip that limits the sky with the stars, besides the principal of them.

It also was added more characters in the scene, as you'll see in photos.

I hope you like!

Questo è solo una  culla di natale, in tempi di festi, ma ha un valore speciale.

Concebito nel momento , che la fretta è stato il principale questione, questo há  diventato una sorpresa.

Anche se io sono un architetto, io sempre cerco  apertare altre aree, perchè il cérebro  ha tenere lavorando.

È stato fatto  con pochi cose, un panno, una asta di legno e idee, ma il resulto è stato molto buono.

Il angelo gabriel corona la estruttura e sembra volare sulle ar, tenendo la tenda.

Nel anno scorso, questo fu fatto in un momento che noi non avevano i materiali correte, ma la soluzione fu così bouna, che la idea rimane a giorni d’oggi.

io aspetto che voi piace!

ARCHITECTURE AND THE COVER

Dears!
I ask you permission to introduce to you some ideas and thoughts that comes through my mind.
I’m not talking as an architect, but as someone that’s trying observe some details, which some years ago, I hadn’t perceived.
In the end of 2009, I suffered an accident.
I've had a traumatic brain injury, so I had to rehabilitate myself in the ordinary world.
For more sad that it can seem, I have say that it was an unique experience in my life.
I passed to look at details in my life, things that are there all the time, but sleepy.
These days, for example, I started to think about an house, a simply home.
When I was in the architecture school, I’ve been teached, about walls, structures, roofs and other things usual in an architect life.
Well, thinking more early, there in the paleolithic age, when a man entered into a cavern, and realized that he could live there, he already was making architecture.
Of course, with the time, he was discovering the possibility of constructing tool, how to use the fire in his favour.
And that was increasing his form of face the world, and so comes constructions, houses, palaces, graves,…, what’s wrong in that?
I read sometime, in a book called “The history of the city”, by Leonardo Benevolo, that  the man in a moment of his life, started feel the will  of guarding his deads, in order that he could return to visit them, that means  that the alive’s city, started with the dead’s city.
But what is the diference between the the space, the group fo atoms existent in the  previous caverns, and the moderns houses?
Maybe the cover,.., both the intern and the extern.
These covers were use in many moments, …, by kings, kingdoms, churchs, but the essence keeps the same.
I’m not forsaking the idea of the forms in the architecture,…,  I use the corver like a form of making my ideas escape from my mind.
But the interior is something intersect, like veins, that all the moment, they cross themselves.

Besides, nowadays there are so many dimensions to look, beside that old and spacial that we already know.
If we look the cords theory, we can think about  other dimensions like mass, time,..,the charge…
Sorry my voyage and if I seem vain , but I hope that I can explain my understanding about architecture,
And maybe make someone think like me,…, and with me.
Grateful!

FULL AND EMPTY

This is a conceptual project,..., at least!
 I learned in the architecture school,to plan a house with walls and roof,..., the basic,..., but what if  the environment is built in the empty,..,where's the track for don't fall in the obvious?
Just seek the limits! in the nature!
Light and darkness, black and white,full and empty,...., we only need to know where's the border between both.       Leandro Salerno Santos - architect.

BROTHERS

"Never believe in what your eyes see!"

I listened that phrase when I was watching a TV program when I was hospitalized this year,..., I think it was "DISCOVERY CHANNEL",..., whatever it !
But I started thinking about something that I learned in the beginning of the university.
Perception,..., How we can work it , in order to create an ilusion.
A sort of crowning can be the key, and being used with gardens.
Of course, I can't do magic, but I have the perspective in my favour,..., thus I can disturb it and the brain can work the rest!

This video has low definition, but shows what's needed!
Two comercial buildings with 4 floors both.
Which of the two do you think is the higher?

Reuse the water of rain and the air conditioning is also proposed,.....,sustainability!
Well I hope my idea can bring into the light this question that is already knocking our door!

CASA DEI SOGNI

Questo è un simple progetto, ma ha un grande valore personal.
Mi ricorda gli tempi di università.
Accade che in un momento di vita, questo era mio punto di inizio al ritorno.
Facciata simple, monocroma,..., i colore bianco è davvero una colore singolare.
Con tre camere e una grande sala, e cucina, più il garagio con un terrazzo come cobertura, i casa ospita  una famiglia
Abbiamo anche un elemento tubolare che lavora come un spazio piccolo e intimo con finestra, per i due camere da letto nelle due piani, al fine di comporre la facciata, con concreto e vetro.
 Io aspetto che voi può capisce mio italiano.


Grazie!

HOME MODIFIED

I ask you permission to show you my point of view about an house, as well the distributions of the spaces.
It happens that  a floorplan  found in the internet suggested me something!
Just some modifications to get a new house.
An intimate entry, as well the service, both well defined
The master bedroom, as well its bath are maintained.
Seeks  approaching the wet areas in order to facilitate the hydraulic instalations.
The house ended up winning an office.
And the laundry now belongs to the service area ( our vision here in Brazil)
The project includes a floorplan of the existent, a plant showing what's due to construct and what's due to demolish

CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF FÁTIMA

Just  more of an idea!
A thorn crown as structure
An heart under  a veil!
A tribute to Our lady of Fátima!
