A cross-country trip in times of peak oil fear
The idea of "peak oil" sometimes sounds like a religious matter: there are those who believe it is true, and those who believe that those who believe it is true are nuts. In any case, given that there was at least a minimum possibility of factual truth in the matter, Jennifer and I decided to materialize an aspiration before it was (if it was) too late.

The work in process
After returning from Colombia, I decided to work on the Spanish version of Ethnoarch and have gotten to put it online again. It can be accessed now as a Spanish language blog located at Etnoarquitectura.com. Normally, its contents will not be the translation of the ones in English but will be original articles in Spanish and for the Latin American context. The Spanish site had gone offline back in February, when I decided to change completely the way I was managing the archives of the web site, especially the photographs.
The first entry of Etnoarq's Spanish blog can be accessed here. It talks about "conformities and conflicts" around Modern Architecture. These are some thoughts that came after finding by chance a Le Corbusier book in the yard sale J and I made, while preparing to leave Philadelphia (in this moment we are in Missouri, making a stop in a cross-country trip to California.) The "Colombia blogging project," however, is not done. I expect to finish with some consistent conclusions, which I am working on and expect to have done in a few days, when I have some time, which should be when in our tour we find a camping place we like enough to stay for a few days. After finishing that project, I plan to focus again on architecture, and expect to write some thoughts on the topic in relation to this trip we are making.

A trip to Colombia - 6. How Don Américo lost his best friend, and later found him again…
People's stories in Colombia are so rich, that they make the country seem like a land of forty million García Márquez.

A trip to Colombia - 5. The first week. Dreams under the traffic lights.
Quietness or just tension? Dreams or just survival? You choose which world do you want to live in, although many don't seem to have any other option than just taking the world they can live in. However, there is always the "risk" of making the dreams true in the end...

A trip to Colombia - 4. The first day
Less prepared than thought (in all senses, practical and emotional.) However, in the struggle there are always new things to learn about what has been going on.

A World Habitat Awards submission
I have submitted, on behalf of SIGUS, the project of San Cayetano - Istepeque to the World Habitat Awards 2005 competition. That was an urban design project developed in partnership with local organizations by Reinhard Goethert, Susana Williams, Melody Tulier and I, last year in El Salvador.
Some of the key features of the project were that it worked (so many times community projects don't!), it worked very rapidly (one year between preliminary workshops and final building), it was participative (most importantly, it involved children in that participation in the role of designers), and it proposed to switch the role for architects in such participation: the community would design, and we would only be their "consultants."
By the end of the summer we will know if we made it into the finals.
