Victory Cities??

I like this kind of utopic speeches. Because you realize that someone is trying or at least thinking of creating a better place to live. But, like every other utopia of a perfect city, it looks so unnatural. A big building for 300 000 people? it would maybe work, if te population were all the sme, if everyone had the same prioritites, wishes and life goals. But it is not like that. We, as architect, know well that diversity is the first need in a project or city(at least I think that way). If we had lived in berlin,when there was the wall, we could say now how awfull it was to live in a place where you do not have the freedom to decide your own acts and ways of living. In this utopic cities, the city kind of force you the way you have to live. And that is not the way it works, just look at the past or think about yourself. Would you like to live in a place like that? maybe for holiday,beacause it is interesting.. but living your whole live in those conditions? I dont think so.
Good for trying to safe mankind, but i don't buy it.

Welcoming Post

Hey! How you doin'? I'm in an english class creating my first blog. So, hello to everyone. I feel kind of Nerd doing this, but... who cares, everybody in the class is doing the same. I'm not very creative right now, maybe later I will write something less boring. I will try to upload some interesting things. I hope I'll be able to do it.
Have a nice day and good bye!

Alex
