«Regular or super» es un documental realizado en Québec y que ganó el premio de Québec que destaca la obra de Mies van der Rohe. Considerando como punto de partida una gasolinera diseñada por Mies en 1967 como la «Île des Soeurs» (la Isla de Nuns) en Montreal, los autores proponen un viaje de iniciación para descubrir las obras del arquitecto alemán en Nueva York, Chicago y Berlín.
Nightvision is a celebration of the brilliance and diversity of architecture found across Europe. Over the course of three months I journeyed with a friend through 36 cities in 21 countries with the ambition of capturing some of the greatest European structures in a new and unique way. Comprised of thousands of carefully taken photographs, strung together and stabilized in post-production, Nightvision aims to inspire appreciation for these man-made landmarks.
Quien dijo que de noche todos los gatos son pardos no había visto este vídeo en el que su autor, Luke Shepard, ha captado la magnificencia de la arquitectura de Europa tras caer el sol. En poco más de tres minutos se condensan 36 ciudades de 21 países del Viejo Continente, en un tributo a lo que el hombre es capaz de hacer.
Coincidencialmente hace unos pocos días escribí respecto a este tema en un ejercicio de Curso a Distancia (vía Coursera) de la UNAM. En lo que tenga un tiempo, aqui abajo, pondré el archivo *.pdf correspondiente.
Watch and share this commemorative time-lapse movie, highlighting progress at the World Trade Center site from October 2004 to September 2013. Witness the rise of One World Trade Center, including the installation of the spire, bringing it to a staggering height of 1,776 feet. Hundreds of thousands of high definition images were captured over the past 9 years and hand-edited for this special time-lapse movie.
Agradezco a Sergeievna Yuric haber compartido este vídeo vía Facebook– con todo seguridad, no lo hubiera visto de no ser así (son tantos miles los vídeos en Vimeo al día que resulta imposible seguirlos)
Richard Buckminster Fuller, aka «Bucky» – Wikipedia
Increíble pero cierto: el Maestro Buckminster Fuller nos legó en vídeo, a mediados de los setentas, todo lo que el sabía… acerca de temáticas tan amplias como las que el solía abordar: Arquitectura, Diseño, Filosofía, Educación, matemáticas, geometría, cartografía, economía, historia, estructuras, industria, vivienda e ingeniería.
Para los millares de fanáticos de la mítica serie «Cosmos» del ya desaparecido Carl Sagan, este tipo de presentaciones resultará familiar (podría ser, ciertamente, el apreciado «Bucky», su precursor), haciendo buen uso de los recursos y efectos audiovisuales disponibles al momento. Son, en total, 42 horas de sabiduría compartidas por un Maestro que se muestra generoso al compartir su conocimiento.
Gracias al prodigioso Internet Archivey al omnipresente YouTube podemos descargar este valiosísimo material en vídeo o disfrutarlo en línea.

During the last two weeks of January 1975 Buckminster Fuller gave an extraordinary series of lectures concerning his entire life’s work. These thinking out loud lectures span 42 hours and examine in depth all of Fuller’s major inventions and discoveries from the 1927 Dymaxion house, car and bathroom, through the Wichita House, geodesic domes, and tensegrity structures, as well as the contents of Synergetics. Autobiographical in parts, Fuller recounts his own personal history in the context of the history of science and industrialization. The stories behind his Dymaxion car, geodesic domes, World Game and integration of science and humanism are lucidly communicated with continuous reference to his synergetic geometry. Permeating the entire series is his unique comprehensive design approach to solving the problems of the world. Some of the topics Fuller covered in this wide ranging discourse include: architecture, design, philosophy, education, mathematics, geometry, cartography, economics, history, structure, industry, housing and engineering.
Think of the name Buckminster Fuller, and you may think of a few oddities of mid-twentieth-century design for living: the Dymaxion House, the Dymaxion Car, the geodesic dome. But these artifacts represent only a small fragment of Fuller’s life and work as a self-styled “comprehensive anticipatory design scientist.” In his decades-long project of developing and furthering his worldview — an elaborate humanitarian framework involving resource conservation, applied geometry, and neologisms like “tensegrity,” “ephemeralization,” and “omni-interaccommodative” — the man wrote over 30 books, registered 28 United States patents, and kept a diary documenting his every fifteen minutes. These achievements and others have made Fuller the subject of at least four documentaries and numerous books, articles, and papers, but now you can hear all about his thoughts, acts, experiences, and times straight from the source in the 42-hour lecture series Everything I Know, available to download at the Internet Archive. Though you’d perhaps expect it of someone whose journals stretch to 270 feet of solid paper, he could really talk.
(The Buckminster Fuller archive has also made transcripts of Everything I Know — “minimally edited and maximally Fuller” — freely available.)

«I thought that Synergetics might allow humanity at large to discover what its options really are»
R. Buckminster Fuller to E.J Applewhite, Cosmic Fishing 1977
In order to facilitate this discovery, I am uploading 42 hours of Bucky’s «Everything I Know» sessions recorded in Philly in 1975. These videos are available to all human beings online or by download upon request (see below), to use for the betterment of mankind.
Arte, historia y la última tecnología se dan cita en nuestro nuevo proyecto multimedia que hoy os presentamos. Los protagonistas son los 15 lienzos que forman la serie «Las bodas de Camacho» que Josep María Sert pintó entre 1929 y 1930. Esta fantástica obra tiene una larga historia a sus espaldas, antes de formar parte de nuestra Colección Banco Santander, Sert los pintó para la decoración del comedor del Hotel Waldorf Astoria de Nueva York, donde estuvieron hasta 1972.La popularidad que alcanzaron los lienzos entre los huéspedes fue tal que el comedor del emblemático hotel pasase a llamarse «Salón Sert«. Una gran historia como esta merece un recuerdo duradero, por eso Fundación Banco Santander reproduce en 3D el salón tal y era en los felices «años 20».
