Noveno 2016
Processo
Final
Reflexiòn:
Seis años después, vuelvo al lugar donde todo comenzó. Mucho ha cambiado.. De hecho, me gradué el año pasado y ha sido un gran viaje. Sin embargo, no fue fácil ya que no dominaba el español cuando comencé mi carrera. Aprendí mucho sobre la vida y sobre mí. Estoy muy agradecido por todo. No soy perfecto, todavía soy joven y cometo muchos errores, pero puedo decirles una cosa que me ha funcionado en todos los aspectos de la vida, siempre ve por lo que crees, estarás más feliz y más satisfecho. para este entrada compartire, mi proyecto de grado (realizado con mi compañero Hans Buhrmann), una historia triste que involucra al Coliseo Humberto Perea:
Fue uno de los proyectos más difíciles para terminar porque durante la mitad del semestre sabíamos que el coliseo iba a ser demolido. Para los que no saben, el coliseo de la ciudad fue considerado un bien de interés cultural para los ciudadanos de Barranquilla, una obra maestra del muy respetado arquitecto y ex alcalde de la ciudad Ricardo Gonzales Ripoll. Lamentablemente, los intentos de varios ciudadanos y estudiantes para proteger el edificio fracasaron y el coliseo fue demolido un mes después terminar el proyecto, y así sera agregado como la ultima victima a una lista larga de joyas que se hayan perdido en Barranquilla. Este fenómeno es un problema mundial incluso en mi pais Palestina. Los edificios históricos a menudo se descuidan y se demuelen para crear nuevos negocios. Lo único es que "El dinero no fue a la escuela", y nosotros, las personas educadas, deberíamos ser más proactivos en cuidar nuestro patrimonio.
que haría si tengo la oportunidad de volver a hacer el proyecto otra vez
Fuelle para la Fragua
Now that it's done I have the time to reflect on this..
This was one of the better projects during my college career, it was fast fluid and interesting.
Now when i look back on it I have certain points which I think make it more of a school project than a proper graduation thesis..
First of all I didn't choose this, it was proposed to us by our director on the 9th and final semester of education, so we've basically had 3 and a half months to work on it and not a full year. Students should pick projects of their interest but i wasn't really interested in anything back then and just wanted to get it over with.
It was basically 3 months of reproducing all of what you've learned in college through one project which was nothing. Making tons of plans , elevations sections "details".. etc of a hypothetical amplification to a collesium thats about to be demolished is a great statement, however I wasn't "brave" enough to explore new forma that can work with the structure. I also wasn't brave enough to explore the problem verbally and produce a concise reflection on the situation that could add something to the reader. I must feel for those teachers who had to let up with all this quantity of visual products that talk about the same boring thing that isn't new.. There were amplification proposals, there were minification ideas.. If i could go back to this I don't think we need to add space to this .. The proposal of Ignacio consuegra might have been a better idea than adding a capitalistic vision to the waning structure.. Maybe explore the structural analysis and understanding them to produce a coherent opinion on the situation might have been more academic. There were soo many random things that were inserted into this without even knowing what the demand for this is like. I feel like our proposal took a side in a debate that I wasn't actually on.. I love money but money for the sake of money is not an academic concept. Soo, yes the idea and topic on a superficial level were interesting but we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and thats one big problem with education that I've been facing all my life. You have to indulge into certain ideas and ideologies that aren't yours to get a pass but in the mean time you become more confused and lost that you lose soo much time trying to find yourself in the process. I'm glad that I was gifted an interesting topic but at the same time I'm disappointed in the way that I managed it. how did i manage it ?! i got managed lets keep it at that.
The other thing that stays with me for some reason is my partners opinion on the matter "in school we keep it, in real life we demolish it".. So the question here is to keep or demolish.. but since it has patrimonial potential its definitely a keep, scientifically asking how : we don't know.. All we do is draw ugly things and act like we understand..
After finishing 14 huge posters of the same thing, We had to present a model of the building which we didn't have time to do so we hired a model maker to do it for us.. He painted the whole thing in white and applied gloss to make it look shiney. He's a pro at this but what the hell?! More embarresing than the 14 posters which didn't say anything was the white shiny model that echos the same noise we created in those over 10 posters. Oh man we took soo much space and created soo much nonsense for nothing. Looking back at it i feel like its something with the nerves and not the brain. Like I'm capable of producing great concepts and ideas but I'm unable to do so because I'm being put under this tremendous pressure of expectations and labor I just sleepwalk through everything. I've had to pay for that model, and this has become the norm of my school work, pay extra for your pass.. ohh money
I don't take anything back.. I splashed even more money on pointless things in life I've mad mistakes but this was not right
