Ileana+De+Abreu

My expectations for this course are to know and learn about computer networks involving technnical vocabulary related to urban planning, and also correct some errors in the use of vocabulary, as well as introducing new words to describe the urban development.

Where are the podcasts?

//** ECO-UTOPIA (e-zine) **// This is a e-zine that pretend to show you a future cities and towns enclosed into its environment. In this order, we have some projects from different urban planners and architects that show you their ideas about a utopial place where people can live in harmony and look for a better future to profit the earth resources. Also you can see in this e-zine that these kinds of cities must be not only ecological places but also must show the beauty concept from their urban planners and architects. We all dream to live in a functional city, but some wise ecologist goes ahead and plans people living inside houses made with modeling roots of trees, which are surrounded with an ecologic ambient. This future cities are HERE Now in your e-zine Eco-Utopia.

We must not be in the future to imagine a city with houses made of organic materials no polluted, with intelligent cars and beauty floating gardens. Urban-Destine is a company that make real this big ideas, created in 2019 by us, the architects and urban planners Ileana De Abreu, and Lorena Ferreira. In our company we design attractive urban landscapes like public parks, green spaces with artificial lakes in order to control the bio-climate. We are pioneers in the construction of self-sufficient houses and this kind of ecologic design and urban planning. Maybe you know that it´s not an easy work but also you can find this kind of cities just around the corner... "You may say I´m a dreamer but I´m not the only one“.

I t’s not a thing that we can make from a day to another. You must think in your future now because these houses are built with modeling roots of trees. Our planet needs that we begin to conserve the natural resources now, not when they become exhausted. That’s why we most invert in this houses NOOW! Call us at this number: 0412-5536756.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">5. VOCABULARY <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">-Mountain: The studies are a very difficult mountain to climb. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">-Emphasis: We have to put emphasis in the way that we use the information that we find in the internet. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">-Tackle: the students should be tackle to the consequences of cut and paste work from the Internet. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">-Easy: the students make the works easy because their copy and paste from the internet and put it in their essay.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">6. WRITING <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">I think that plagiarism is a way to show the ignorance of the people, especially because many of us have a great potential. Plagiarism architectural or urban project is also illegal and shows the kind of lack morals and ethics. I think the plagiarism of architecture or urban planning projects could be sued and even make the cheaters going to jail. also shows the kind of person who is, several times the people do this thing because it is more easy but it is immoral.

**﻿Slide 12**: This is an Avenue in a city. It´s seems like at the end of the work day, all the people are walkingm allows the sidewalk. The street lights are turned on. The traffic show me that it must be a rush hours. I can also say that it is a modern city. Therre are three tall and modern buildings and one that seems to be an old one. There are some trees in the building facades. There is anykind of signs in the street or in front of the buildings.

//**<span style="color: #a56fa5; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">CAD and BIM **// <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">﻿The CAD program is used to desing with a computer. The BIM is a program that help to generate and manage the building data in order to demostrate the building life cycle. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The CAD program can be used for any profetional that need to desing, like architects, engineers, planner designers, graphic designers, urban planners, etc. And the BIM must be used by architecs and engineers. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">The CAD may be used to design in 2D or 3D and is usefull to desing since a bottle of perfum to a ship or a car. On the oder hand, the BIM is used only to desing buildings. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Both of them use geometry but the BIM also apply the technology linked with the database with the information of any thing related with the building construction.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Dear Mr. Alan Joch your article gave me a new perspective about the architecture and design in 3D. The benefits of this kind of projects where people can interact with a virtual space and all its elements are really captivating. When I read the title "Virtual reality and digital modeling go on trial for a federal courtroom design" many things came to my mind, like that seems a wonderful tool, the way to make a revolution in the design and buildings construction. When I read the article it show me new and very unbelievable things about the 3D CAD technology and some technical terms that I didn´t know. I just imagine the future of architecture and the urban planning and I´m sure it must be incredible. I only hope that the beauty of the mock-up doesn´t disappear.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;">We all dream to live in a functional city, but some wise ecologist goes ahead and plans cities where people live inside houses made with modeling roots of trees, which are surrounded with an ecologic ambient. Now exist some projects from different urban planners and architects, about a utopian place where people can live in harmony and look for a better future and make profit of the earth resources. One of these ecologist geniuses is Mitchell Joachim, leader in design, urban planning and architecture.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; display: block; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">The urban planner Joachim has reworded the model of cities existing in the twenty-first century. His work is a combination of the cultural and social scene but without losing the scientist knowledge. He is trying to build a self-sufficient city, with intelligent transportation, power generation, food production, waste treatment and efficient use of the resources. All this work could take hundreds of years to become reality. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;">These sorts of cities must be not only ecological places but also must show the beauty concept. N <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;">o matter what it takes to become reality. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;"> Maybe we aren´t going to see them, but now we can imagine a city with houses made of organic materials, no polluted, with intelligent cars and beauty floating gardens, thanks to the designs in our minds.

//** RSTT - "THE ARCHI-SCULPTURE" summary. **// The Archi-sculpture is a new perspective to see the architecture like a mixture of various arts, being a way to combine art with function. Now days the limits for construction do not exist, the relationship between architecture and sculpture is growing. Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava are examples of architects who have decided to take a risk and to give an artistic touch to their buildings. This expression is trying to break the mold and create something new with a functional purpose, looking for changes that surprise people.
