TEXTILE BLOCK SYSTEM

The textile block system is a unique structural building method created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1920s. While the details changed over time, the basic concept involves patterned concrete blocks reinforced by steel rods, created by pouring concrete mixture into molds, thus enabling the repetition of form. The blocks are then stacked to build walls.

“ Warning signs of this sort have been found in ancient Roman buildings such as the House of the Tragic Poet in Pompeii, which contains a mosaic with the caption cave canem (pronounced [ˈkaweː ˈkaneːm]). Some suppose that these warnings may sometimes have been intended to prevent visitors from stepping upon small, delicate dogs of the Italian Greyhound type.”

CRUST-PUNK

“y sobre todo en la década de los 2000 en la ciudad de La Coruña, donde se desarrolló un movimiento del cual emergieron muchas bandas y podría considerarse como la meca del "neo crust" en Europa con la característica especial de que acá el crust toma la influencia melódica del emoviolence/screamo francés de los 90's (por citar Anomie, Belle Epoque) y de expandir un estilo único a diferentes partes del globo, de la cual salieron grupos como Ekkaia, Madame Germen, Ictus y Hongo.”

Regueifa

“A regueifa é un canto ou cantiga entre dúas ou máis persoas que seguen un mesmo cantar ou son mentres a disputa sobre un tema determinado.

De orixe galego-portuguesa pode ter semellanzas co rap actual ou cos tensóns medievais, mais as regueifas son máis populares.”

Os xacios ou as xacias[1] son seres da mitoloxía galega coa metade inferior dun peixe e a metade superior humana, masculina ou, sobre todo, feminina. Segundo as lendas, encántalles a auga e habitan nas pozas dos ríos.

Bone china is a type of porcelain that is composed of bone ash, feldspathic material, and kaolin. It has been defined as "ware with a translucent body" containing a minimum of 30% of phosphate derived from animal bone and calculated calcium phosphate.[1] Bone china is the strongest of the porcelain or china ceramics, having very high mechanical and physical strength and chip resistance, and is known for its high levels of whiteness and translucency.

Detalle de “El Aguador de Sevilla”, Velázquez.

La Marquesa D'Aulnoy, en sus "Memorias de la Corte de España", escribe: " :

"...hay señoras que comían trozos de arcilla... tienen una gran afición por esta tierra... Si uno quiere agradarlas, es preciso darles de esos búcaros, que llaman barros; y a menudo sus confesores no les imponen más penitencia que pasar todo el día sin comerlos".

Otra cronista de aquel tiempo, Sor Estefanía de la Encarnación, nos dejó otro testimonio substancioso, fechado en 1631:

"...como lo había visto comer [el barro] en casa de la marquesa de La Laguna, dio en parecerme bien y en desear probarlo". -Y lo probó y: "un año entero me costó quitarme de ese vicio", si bien "durante ese tiempo fue cuando vi a Dios con más claridad".

'No Man is an Island'

No man is an island entire of itself; every man

is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;

if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe

is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as

well as any manner of thy friends or of thine

own were; any man's death diminishes me,

because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom

the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Olde English Version

No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man

is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;

if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe

is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as

well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine

owne were; any mans death diminishes me,

because I am involved in Mankinde;

And therefore never send to know for whom

the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
