What Makeup Brushes Are Used For What

MADRID, MADRID

Saturday, October 18.

The guided tour to the outskirts of the town starts from the very site of the Cuatro Torres, aligned north end of the Castellana and still under construction. The works were completed, probably in spring of 2009, they rascacielos alter forever the skyline of the city.
In general, it can emphasize the separation between the more formal approach and creative of the two large American studies (Cesar Pelli, Pei, Cobb, Freed & Partners, offering complex geometric shapes, obtained by cuts and rotations) and the more typological pragmatic and European projects (Alvarez y Sala, Norman Foster).



continue east, towards Sanchinarro.
Here, in a sign of poor and anonymous, the Dutch MRDRV have created a "superblock" residential or parallelepiped tower features a lively patchwork in the outer covering and a huge central hole, designed as mirador the cityscape.
A sheet hung from a window, in part, reads:
"balconies for drying clothes? No, just design."

The journey continues to the south.
several requests, Sergio sudden an interesting keynote on the themes of the skyscraper and the city gate. Meanwhile
arrive at your destination, or the suburb of Villaverde, where with little effort, we find the residential complex of Chipperfield. The composition of the free
full of prefabricated panels covering the earthy colors and voids of glass windows help to defuse the compactness of this huge monolith.


A lady, probably a tenant of the building in question passes in front of our group, shakes his head and says,
"This building an es mierda!"
We were just wondering, stimulated by Sergio on this point, because often the things that appeal to architects do not like ordinary people ...

setting interventions Carabanchel of housing designed by different architects local (Aranguren y Gallegos; Madridejos Ochinaga y; Albarola y Martorell, Foreign Office), differs instead for an approach essentially a function and a greater focus on the urban scale.


Our tour ends in the district of Usera, where the Public Library José Hierro shows, cryptic and impenetrable, like an urban sculpture.
After a little shopping area in the late afternoon of Puerta del Sol, the event is all set for the dinner at the Ene Restaurante, Calle del Nuncio in La Latina. Here, on our comfortable chairs designed by Charles, one of the great designers of the tradition of our country, we taste of tuna and ternera solomillo. Someone on the ground floor, eat lying on a kind of tatami, and fatigue prende il sopravvento: Margherita, nove anni, si addormenta dopo le prime portate. La piccola Cecilia, invece, stasera non ce l'ha fatta ed è già in albergo a riposare.

L'autobus ci lascia in Glorieta Puerta de Toledo, teatro di un progetto di riqualificazione ad opera di Navarro Baldeweg, il quale sottolinea il carattere pubblico e istituzionale new products (a community center, a senior center, library) elevated by a pedestal of gray granite that defines the northern edge of the square and find a kind of small acropolis.
Here begins our tour through the major contemporary interventions made in the old center.
Then we walk the narrow winding alleys of the neighborhoods of El Rastro, where every Sunday morning as there is a flea market, and the barrio of Lavapies, where we can appreciate the redevelopment of the Plaza Lara (Linazasoro) and the new Olympia Theatre (Paredes Pedrosa y).
The next stop is the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, recently expanded by the addition of Jean Nouvel volume of a triangular cantilever roof surmounted by an imposing red shiny metal. Overall, the prospect is not very convincing to Atocha, while the extraordinary large courtyard that has been created between the volume and the new palace, or a real square blanket that is a real piece of city.



cross the road to get to the Atocha station, designed by Moneo, where the most important elements of the composition of the lantern are cylindrical and parallelepiped clock tower. Always
Moneo is responsible for the enlargement of the Prado Museum. Although you must keep the immense difficulties inherent in the project, the feeling is that the great English painter in this case is not a fair amount of courage and boldness.
courage and boldness but that does not lack for Herzog & de Meuron. The two extraordinary
Swiss architects have recently converted a former factory into a multi-cultural center (Caixa Forum) by means of a daring work of subtraction (in fact they have eliminated the base of solid granite) and subsequent addition (the people raising with an irregular rectangular steel courtain).


The most extraordinary aspect is structural, we are in ten or twenty architects and engineers and we are all there, waiting patiently to get in queue to ask how do you feel about ...
After a good paella at the restaurant of the Caixa, which we view from a little disappointed at the lack of attention to detail, is only time for a quick foray into one of the great museums of the city.
