Can I Take Vicodin And Relpax Together

know and not do anything ...

Yesterday
November 3, 2010, Dominican Day of Architecture, is left open the X International Architecture Biennale in Santo Domingo, these were the thoughts that I read. OR
know and not do anything ...

When in 1986 some , then, young architects of a group called New Architecture, decided to make the First Biennial of Architecture in Santo Domingo, dedicated to Guillermo Gonzalez, few people, including Architects, knew the work of the now recognized as the Father of Modern Architecture Dominican. The model that served as reference was the Architecture Biennale Quito.

We had done two events: "Contemporary Architecture in the Republic Dominican, in House Theatre in 1981 "in homage to architect Manolito Baquero and" Architecture '83 in the Dominican Republic "at the Hispanic Cultural Center who led Pedro Vergés. We had broken the tradition of silence as to present the works of the Dominican Architects and built a space for discussion about the issues not only of Architecture and Urban Dominicans, if not on the social problems of our country.

early 80's some of our earlier published critical architectural works that were harshly disqualified in our Alma Mater, but were welcomed openly by the authors of the works which we commented. Later we were more than two years publishing a piece of architecture and today we publish our comments in the press and magazines. In 1988, Emilio reminds us in beautiful writing that gives us today, we got on the eve of the celebration of the Second ADB is dedicated to the architect, humanist and patron, José Antonio Caro, who this year marks the centenary of his birth and for management of Architect Rafael Tomas Hernandez, that figure caring, stable and counselor, as described by the architect Eugenio Perez Montas, the decree entered on November 3, when the birth of Guillermo Gonzalez, as Day Dominican Architecture.

this review because I now young architects and students, with few exceptions, not know this history, not interested in the social relationship of architecture and have taken over a critique that meets and 31 years and is being done by the same actors at the time. I do not mean to chronic markedly elitist and architectural aesthetic is today.

In some ways this is a sign that the Dominican society is wrong.

Our country has a schizophrenic balance between wealth and poverty. I always say that we are a paleo society - technological, because while a few enjoy all the latest technology, the vast majority of the population lives in extreme poverty, in a kind of contemporary Paleolithic. And this is despite the manipulated figures and the vaunted economic progress. Poverty is aggravated by drug trafficking, corrupt and corrupting politics with weak justice and total insecurity. Academies, full of masters and PHD, have taken a quantum leap in terms of vocational training but have failed to convey this important aspect is the social sensitivity, the fact of the virtual absence of social projects in this sample confirms this biennial .. . The emergence of the internet, so indispensable to all life issues would contemporary, has undermined the ability to read and writing, which has become, through the BB or iPhone, a kind morse code for specialized.

And these situations we must face from all scenarios and all the resources we can use.

X BiASD This constitutes the majority of the Biennale, a majority which led has reached the hands of the Society Architects of the Dominican Republic and within it the hands of Erwin Cott who with their tireless work has achieved what could be considered the official of the Biennial is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and the return of the original home Biennial, the Museum of Modern Art who so generously has received.

Here I want to acknowledge the team that has made this Bienal: Aixa Weber, Leyda Brea, Architect CODIA Mosque, Franc Ortega, Joseph Guzman and Ray Vasquez-THE-American who with his team of students has completed the installation of the biennial exhibition of confrontation.




The tenth BiASD edition is devoted to three architects I admire and respect, representing three generations of Dominican Modern Architecture: Kookie Batista, who appreciate, respect and consider one of the great architects of this country, the only Santiaguero that active in almost all events of Architecture that is made in the capital, Eduardo Selman, who was my professor of design and who learned in his workshop, designing in the real world, and Oscar Imbert, gray hair on his head and in their projects, who has managed to demonstrate that the local culture and architectural landmark is valid, but even in an era that is beginning to deal with sustainability and future. Honor honor, this has been the currency of the GNA and the SARD and certainly feel honored, I feel particularly honored, to recognize these outstanding architects who think they are also my friends, our friends.

finish calling the new generation, Generation X or Generation 2.0, as best describing themselves, so that be integrated into the debate by the improvement of our nation, for the reorganization of our society, the best architecture for all and not only for the wealthy. That face our society with a critical eye and the environment that is built, or destroyed, and identify new solutions to old problems forever.

I know you know these old problems and you know what to do, but as he said the last of the samurai, Yukio Mishima: "Knowing and doing nothing is the same as not knowing."

This Penelope is on Pilar ...




A Brief Emilio Brea ...

On the eve 3 November 1988, we were approached by the architect Rafael Tomas Hernandez Ramos to give us good news, which provided us with a simple phrase: "the decree goes out tonight." We were in the midst of last minute organizing in then modern art gallery, giving almost final touches for the opening of the Second Architecture Biennial in Santo Domingo, which is dedicated to the memory of the late architect Manuel Valverde Adriano Podesta ( Manolito), died on June 23, naturally, when he was 42 years. It was decided that the Second Biennial would be devoted to the architect José Antonio Caro Alvarez (7-junio-1910/11-febrero-1978). Since the first it was dedicated to the architect Francisco Guillermo González Sánchez (3-noviembre-1900/13-noviembre-1970), biennials always tried to be dedicated to missing figures from the past to which the entity creating the same as was the Group Nuevarquitectura - GNA-not had the chance to honor deserved at the time (the GNA was founded on May 3, 1979). Since the First Biennial In 1986, following the demolition of the Hotel Jaragua, in 1985, we asked the executive decree of the commemorative date.

Biennials were created from a date Opening in permanent memorial to the birth of architect González Sánchez, and performed a program of activities for ten days to close on 13, date of death of renowned professional. Wednesday November 3 marks the Day of the Dominicana Architecture as every two years, opens the Architecture Biennale in Santo Domingo, which adds to their name the word International since 2006, when it became the sixth (recovery position not made since 2000), however it was and has been capped since the first, when we brought to the Catalan Manolo Núñez-Yanowsky (Samarkand, Uzbekistan, 1942), through the intermediary of the now Center English Cultural (formerly Instituto Cultural Dominico Hispanic). A Núñez-Yanowsky it was at the airport the former architect Pilar Contin (*) as part of GNA (Omar Rancier, Eliana Hernandez and us) as we waited in the apartment where we lived, the Archbishop Portes opposite the Palace of Justice to design Lluberes Mario Abreu (29-diciembre-1906-/16-marzo-1967), whose fluted columns and attached to the wall patching-up, rising by three levels of the building, pulled a vivid expression of amazement by Núñez-Yanowsky he said aloud, "Ah, but what Bofill and passed this?" (I did not know our Bofill had been advanced to him for 50 years). Inside, in the discrete space of the apartment, we serve a banana farmers mangú addition of fresh cassava and mocana, both with fried onions varied (eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and ham) and various fruit juices, to which Catalan survived, making him forget momentarily stylistic allusions solid architecture that visual welcomed New Town.

(*) Rosalía del Pilar Teresa Contín Ramirez was an enthusiastic contributor to the GNA and assumed leading roles, from a policy without complaints, just supportive and positivist. He had been an architect in the UNPHU, 21 April 1982. He died on April 16 last year (2009). He was barely 55 years (4-Sept-1954). He lived in the foothills Jarabacoa nearby with her husband, Ismael Pérez (Papin), where he made contact with the lavish nature of the mountains giving to the mundane, and clinging to a spirituality that came to the priesthood without commitments other than the service to others (for her these letters ...)

Visible Capillaries Onface Of Toddler



On Monday the first of November the Foundation Erwin Walter Palm at 6:30 pm in the Auditorium of the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña 12 ends its cycle paths and way with the participation of the architect Eugenio Perez Montas.
This paper is a very personal testimony about an unforgettable character.
OR



Eugenio Perez Montas

Al Perez Montas architect I met him first by references in his writings in the late Saturday cultural supplement of the newspaper El Caribe and then as principal of Seminars Preservation and Restoration of Monuments ICOMOS at the time was for me a distant person, a reference relating to the Colonial Zone.

I learned from Mom, the Mother of Architect Perez Montas and her sisters were cousins, but he never made reference to the Architect, although he has always shared with me documents related to my maternal grandfather and Reynaldo Valdes with the father of my grandfather.

Perez Montas becomes a close in 1981 when Nuevarquitectura Group and Student Group Javier Center, supported by CODI, a different CODIA with Juan Díaz Paniagua as Secretary Overall, we were organizing the first event of the group called "Contemporary Architecture in the Dominican Republic" an exhibition of architecture, with a series of lectures at Casa de Teatro, which constitutes the first exhibition Dominican Architecture, previously only had made the Exp UASD or Workshops that begin under the direction of the department Rafael Calventi a decade earlier.


Eugenio Perez Montas invite to participate in the event and held a meeting with him in local Javier Center, an apartment in the Jose Contreras to Alma Mater. I remember that caught my attention a beautiful shell bracelet watch that looked at the time our Architect. Your participation in this event gave brilliance that first attempt to bring the architecture to the public generally and the supplement published in The Caribbean a article, "Echoes of an event on Contemporary Architecture" which outlined the activities, which he said: "It was an invigorating conversation about general problems that concern to young architects from leading. Latent leadership heterogeneous in the crowd could be seen "

Seated left to right Eugenio Perez Montas, Gautier I, Bichara Khoury and Juan Díaz Paniagua at the" Architecture Contemporary en la República Dominicana" Casa de Teatro, 1981.


Posteriormente seguimos, a través del Grupo Nuevarquitectura y posteriormente con el CARIMOS y el ICOMOS, nuestra relación con Pérez Montás, una relación que ha ido fortaleciéndose en base al respeto mutuo y a la gran capacidad de enseñar de nuestro amigo. Debo confesar que en cualquier conversación que hemos sostenido con el Arquitecto hemos aprendido algo, además lo considero uno de los mejores conferencistas del país y es reconocido también como un líder entre los Arquitectos the scope of restoration in the Greater Caribbean.

Our relationship shook when he, together with the beloved Manolito Valverde Podesta, gone out of season, that we say hello to Emily and me to arrive at a social gathering at the home of Esteban Prieto on the eve of a trip to El Portillo where CARIMOS hold a meeting in the early 1980's saying jokingly "Here the boys of New Architecture, you should be fine with these two!" trust us - Emily and me, the restoration of Castle Hill, home of San Cristobal Trujillo in the tyrant never lived.

In La Isabela, with Dr. Puig, pictured see some sort of Architect and Architect Robert Berger Teódulo Blanchard.

diligent researcher, he has given us a series of texts really exquisite in form and content. His books on Las Casas Reales, the collection of his articles in the Caribbean, the book Classic Essay on the monumental work "The City of Ozama" established him as a great writer and a historian of the shaft of the city, the last Chronicler of the Indies, as I qualified in the circulation of "The City of Ozama" at the end of last century.

Eugenio Perez Montas A I have a special affection and a great professional respect, despite our different ideological approaches, it has managed to be consistent in its approach and it has sat Chair excellence in university classrooms, first at the University of Santo Domingo and then at the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña, which is one of the founding teachers.

I'm a big fan of Architect Perez Montas and acknowledge that I am honored by your friendship and has been for me one of my two unforgettable characters - the other being the architect I Gautier, although he did not want to believe.

His way of being, elegant and precise, their taste for the British royal family and television soap operas have been for me references of your great humanity, a humanity that makes both teacher, historian, intellectual, wonderful speaker, restaurateur and a devoted and wonderful sensitive human being.
