ttp://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/newsenglish/witn/2008/08/080827_venice_film.shtml

The homework for today it´s to make a review of this website and write about 150 words (one hundred fifty)

I´ll do it at my home :D because now, this computer dont like me, and i hate mac

This site, i do not know it, but i think it's really great. I'm autodidact so i have tried to learn japanese alone, but it's really dificult and I think that is impossible. My last attempt was to learn english listening an audiophone course, so i bougth a pendrive and i listened on my journey by bus or subway. The problem with this is that I sleep while I'm listening, so i do not learn much either.
If it had known before that this site existed, had occupied my free time better, anyway, it's not so late, isn't?
BBC site has many categories about diferents themes. All these categories are aimed at strengthening writing and familiarize the sound of the English language. It's a support for teachers and students of language, there we found exams, notices, lessons and guidance on the grammar and spelling. I would like to see something like this for the Japanese language

CAP CONTEST for students of architecture

This is the only project that participated in CAP contest representing our University, and also it was my last project in Professional Practice. Maybe i'm the oldest in this group.
Anyway, the theme in the contest was a National Fair exhibitions, the material should be Steel as a prerequisite. In the picture you'll see the principal render from the project.
The Idea was "to make fly the steel", and it's really flying, because all pabillions, auditoriums, and general program it's hanging from the arc by tensors.


The project is located adjacent to Route 68, in Santiago. This feature made us think of a building with great force formal and visual impact. Because of this, the structural model is chosen and modulated on a mathematical sequence, Fibonacci series.
Fibonacci Series allowed us to do that all pabillions be modulated and sizes related to each other.

Presentation


What is it? Otarkitect? What is that?
Well, it's simple... Otak comes from .otaku. and that's mean japanese animation fan, but the trouble here is that i'm a covert otaku, if it were not for my patch of .Death Note. on my backpack, nobody notice it. And the other part it's .Architect., that's the most worrying thing... sometimes i see dead people... Anyway, belive it or not, i'm very very normal...
