And you think you can do better!!!!
Hace una semanas fui a dar una platica al Centro de Estudios Latino Americanos en Harvard University. A unos pasos de donde esta el Centro se encuentra una de las joyas arquitectónicas del siglo 20; El Carpenter Center de Le Corbusier. El unico edificio diseñado y construido por Corb en Estados Unidos. Cuando estuve visitando el edificio no encontre palabras para describir la experiencia de pasar por el puente/pasillo que lo atraviesa. Enjoy!

SCIFI at SCI-Arc // Fall Symposium 2008: The City after the Economy
This event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required. The symposium will also be broadcast live at www.sciarc.edu/live. Please join us!
What is the status of urban growth and redevelopment in light of the current economy? What effects will the re-regulation of financial markets have on real estate, development, planning, urban culture and architecture?
Organized by SCIFI at SCI-Arc, the City after the Economy symposium will explore the urban consequences of the downturn as well as emerging urban design opportunities in light of the current fiscal slowdown.
A key ambition of this symposium will be to broaden the discussion of urban development from a singular conversation around of issues of capital and its movements to embrace the economics of cultural production, architecture, ecology and urbanism.
