Development of Cruise Terminal Extension. Port of Cartagena.
By Martín Lejarraga. Muelle Terminal de Cruceros. Port of Cartagena. [Cartagena - Murcia] Spain.
Summer is far away and now the sun is soft, yet in Cartagena the Sun is an "element to consider" long, the shadow can be much more desirable. The building of a single carport, basically made of concrete, glass and steel columns, and many kind of flooring, the different colors of the enclosures, getting to be the gateway to the city from the sea and is also a space friendly, open, fluid and hosted with different information areas and exhibition spaces.
...The front door is always the first image that takes the visitor when visit the place for the first time. Understand this intervention as a business card, has been one of the challenges of a minimal project, easy to use for multiple purposes, both day and night and fairly easy to maintain, over time. A good project! from Martin Lejarraga.

Paul Strand - Manhatta (1921)
[VIDEO]
Paul Strand wrote in his letter to the students of Photography in 1923 "Above all things look around you, your immediate world. If you are alive means something to you, and if you show interest enough for photography and know how to use it, you will want to photograph that meaning." And with that deep interest in the meaning of the "inmediate world", New York, Paul Strand performed in 1921 the film "Manhatta" with the collaboration of the painter Charles Sheeler.
Based on a poem by Paul Whitman, it consists of 65 shots sequenced in a loose non-narrative structure, with the city of Manhattan as the subject. The haze of the smoke stacks from the rooftops of New York, the ferries, the street life whit the skyscrapers in the background, etc.. Each frame provides a view of the city that has been carefully arranged in abstract compositions.
Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler explored the...

The besieged tomb.
[Taiyuan, Shanxi Province] China.
A few weeks ago we told you about the surreal situation (and outrageous pressure also, we must say) of a house in the middle of a highway in Wenling, Zhejiang Province in China, where an elderly couple were refusing to sign the agreement allow their house be demolished. Now the situation seems to repeat itself with a tomb. As someone mentioned, now the situation passed from "the nail house" to "the nail tomb."
The situation seems to be the same, in this case with the transfer of the remains to a cemetery, in Taiyuan in Shanxi Province, China. The lack of agreement has not stopped, as a measure of "civilized dialogue", it starts to make the whole structure of the foundation and structure of floors in the rest of the plot. Surely all will end, as in the case of the "nail house", with the demolition of the small "hill". Here we let these...
