Cristobal Balenciaga 

Cristobal Balenciaga was born in 1885  in Getaria which was a small fishing village in northern Spain.  His mother was a stream stress which is how he ended up getting into fashion. He watched her and her clients which where the most fashionable and glamourous women in the village.  At the age of only 12 he begin an tailoring apprenticeship in the neighbouring fashionable resort of stan Sebastian. This is where it all started for him as his first fashion house in 1917 named after a shortening of his mothers maiden name- Eisa. Balenciaga opened fashion houses in Barcelona and Madrid before moving to Paris in 1937  the fashion houses (Avenue Georges V) quickly became the cities most popular, most expensive and exclusive couturier.  With the apprenticeships and his mother being a seamstress this training help set him  apart from the other big designers of his time. With Cristóbal Balenciaga the design process for him started with the fabric not the sketch “it’s the fabric that decides” he stated, showing he could manipulate the materials to show there very best effect. Balenciaga knew the craft inside out and was adept at every stage of the making process. Balenciaga's Spanish heritage influenced a lot of the iconic designs. The wide hipped ‘infanta’ dress from his 1930s collection drew inspiration from the 17th century Spanish artist Diego Velázquez.  In the later phase of his career, in the 1950s Balenciaga was pioneering with new shapes never seen before in the women's fashion industry.  The radical designs developed season by season as he redefined and reworked at the looks created his style and a name for himself and his fashion house. In 1957 he shocked the fashion world with the introduction of the 'sack dress', a straight up and down shift dress which completely eliminated the waist. At a time when Christian Dior's hour-glass shaped New Look was still dominant, the 'sack' was initially met with hostility from both clients and press. "It's hard to be sexy in a sack!" cried the Daily Mirror. Like many of Balenciaga's most radical designs, this look eventually filtered into the mainstream. The sack dress was the forerunner of the ubiquitous mini-dress of the 1960s and remains a fashion staple today. He then retired and past on the fashion house, however Balenciaga came out of retirement in 1972 to create the wedding dress of Spanish aristocrat and socialite María del Carmen Martínez-Bordiú , he sadly passed two weeks after this.

Product- Balenciaga has had many collection over the year all by different designers but all the product and innovative designs and one on there own, they have women and menswear, something for everyone with each collection they bring out. The brand has ready to wear items, leather goods, shoes, bags and apparel for men and women

Price- Balenciaga's is a brand based on luxury items meaning their prices are very expensive so there have a small group in their target market and very few people can afford to pay the extreme amount of money for just one items.

Place- Balenciaga sell they product online and in store however their main source for purchasing their items is probably online as everyone can access this and is the most relevant way to buy anything now and will be for a long period of time. The items in store are very limited as not a lot of store carry items like these as such as luxurious at Balenciaga's products.

Promotion- Balenciaga advertise in big cities such as Mumbai, New Delhi and  Chandigarh just a few examples, they do a lot of celebrity marketing this is such a clever idea to promote a brand as when people see big celebrities wearing the brand, they immediately want to own that, Balenciaga did this with Kim Kardashian she wore a lot of Balenciaga recently which was such a smart idea as Kim is so relevant and on trend now. They also use a lot of social media which is probably the most relevant way of promoting  these day as everyoneis using social media and doing campaigns on social media you know everyone will be seeing this and if people are liking and sharing this they can use this of a way of feedback for the company.

Nicolas Ghesquiere took a freelance job that took him to Balenciaga in 1995, when the Balenciaga creative director Josephus Thimister however he was fired two year later, and Nicolas tapped in and it was the start of his 15-year run at  Balenciaga.  Nicolas reportedly doubled the income of Balenciaga's sale when arriving. Whilst at Balenciaga he delivered us the 1980s inspired fashion and the iconic lariat handbag, he went on to expand the number of collection for Balenciaga and continued to produce innovative design such as the short gladiator style skirt and the toga dresses, knee high gladiator sandals and so much more like collections inspired by some of Balenciaga's original designs.

Balenciaga’s target audience is men and women who live a luxury lifestyle and prefer a different side of sophisticated, however now the time and generation has changed the new target audience is the new generation of fashion enthusiasts. All the customers that buy Balenciaga's products are aware of  the trends in fashion and the fashion world of this generation. The target market for Balenciaga is a very wealthy group of people due to the high prices of all the products and especially if they are buying straight of the runway and the ready to wear collection.

Spring 2016 ready to wear runway is my favorite collection. The collection was designed by Alexander Wang just before he left. His final runway called swan song was said to be the freest collection he did for the house. All this collections was made entirely from shade of ivory, all in soft natural fabrics like linen cotton. All the designs looked effortless . The work for this collection started after the announcement that Wang would not be renewing his contract to the Balenciaga fashion house. His las collection was his best collection, some people believe this was because he let his guard down due to it being his last and wanting to focus on creating a signature label of his own. Although the vibes around this collection is very relaxed a lot of smocking, ruching and ladder stitching went into creating this collection while remaining light. I think the entire collection is so beautiful and elegant with also a bit of edge thrown into the mix which make it so interesting and caught my attention when looking through all the collection of Balenciaga throughout the year, this is with out a doubt my favorite, due to the effortlessly pretty vibes it has and all the shapes within the collection.

End of the Comfort Zone Bingo, thoughts, and conclusions

I just finished the Comfort Zone Bingo!! I'm super happy because I managed to finish it before the end of the month, so here is the I-finished-yay-post :)

What is the Comfort Zone Bingo?

It's a creation by @anassarhenisch. You just ask for a bingo card and she gives you one to tackle. The prompts are super random, and the idea is, well, to read outside your comfort zone. I started my card in April, so I needed a little under three months to finish!

How did it go?

Fantastically! I had to do a mad scramble in some prompts, but I guess that was the goal, right? I liked most of what I read, I tackled some forever-on-my-TBR books (LES MIS) and I discovered some new authors I loved. However, I have to admit that the prompts I got weren't too difficult, so while I appreciate that (I didn't go crazy looking up books to fit in), I feel like I didn't push myself out of my comfort zone too hard.

Overall, 10/10, I would do it again. I love bingos!

Juan 12 Reina-Valera 1960 Jesús es ungido en Betania (Mt. 26.6-13; Mr. 14.3-9) 12  Seis días antes de la pascua, vino Jesús a Betania, donde estaba Lázaro, el que había estado muerto, y a quien había resucitado de los muertos. 2 Y le hicieron allí una cena; Marta servía, y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban sentados a la mesa con él. 3 Entonces María tomó una libra de perfume de nardo puro, de mucho precio, y ungió los pies de Jesús, y los enjugó con sus cabellos; y la casa se llenó del olor del perfume. 4 Y dijo uno de sus discípulos, Judas Iscariote hijo de Simón, el que le había de entregar: 5 ¿Por qué no fue este perfume vendido por trescientos denarios, y dado a los pobres? 6 Pero dijo esto, no porque se cuidara de los pobres, sino porque era ladrón, y teniendo la bolsa, sustraía de lo que se echaba en ella. 7 Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala; para el día de mi sepultura ha guardado esto. 8 Porque a los pobres siempre los tendréis con vosotros, mas a mí no siempre me tendréis. El complot contra Lázaro 9 Gran multitud de los judíos supieron entonces que él estaba allí, y vinieron, no solamente por causa de Jesús, sino también para ver a Lázaro, a quien había resucitado de los muertos. 10 Pero los principales sacerdotes acordaron dar muerte también a Lázaro, 11 porque a causa de él muchos de los judíos se apartaban y creían en Jesús. La entrada triunfal en Jerusalén (Mt. 21.1-11; Mr. 11.1-11; Lc. 19.28-40) 12 El siguiente día, grandes multitudes que habían venido a la fiesta, al oír que Jesús venía a Jerusalén, 13 tomaron ramas de palmera y salieron a recibirle, y clamaban: !!Hosanna! !!Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor, el Rey de Israel! 14 Y halló Jesús un asnillo, y montó sobre él, como está escrito: 15 No temas, hija de Sion; He aquí tu Rey viene, Montado sobre un pollino de asna. m 16 Estas cosas no las entendieron sus discípulos al principio; pero cuando Jesús fue glorificado, entonces se acordaron de que estas cosas estaban escritas acerca de él, y de que se las habían hecho. 17 Y daba testimonio la gente que estaba con él cuando llamó a Lázaro del sepulcro, y le resucitó de los muertos. 18 Por lo cual también había venido la gente a recibirle, porque había oído que él había hecho esta señal. 19 Pero los fariseos dijeron entre sí: Ya veis que no conseguís nada. Mirad, el mundo se va tras él. Unos griegos buscan a Jesús 20 Había ciertos griegos entre los que habían subido a adorar en la fiesta. 21 Estos, pues, se acercaron a Felipe, que era de Betsaida de Galilea, y le rogaron, diciendo: Señor, quisiéramos ver a Jesús. 22 Felipe fue y se lo dijo a Andrés; entonces Andrés y Felipe se lo dijeron a Jesús. 23 Jesús les respondió diciendo: Ha llegado la hora para que el Hijo del Hombre sea glorificado. 24 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que si el grano de trigo no cae en la tierra y muere, queda solo; pero si muere, lleva mucho fruto. 25 El que ama su vida, la perderá; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardará. 26 Si alguno me sirve, sígame; y donde yo estuviere, allí también estará mi servidor. Si alguno me sirviere, mi Padre le honrará. Jesús anuncia su muerte 27 Ahora está turbada mi alma; ¿y qué diré? ¿Padre, sálvame de esta hora? Mas para esto he llegado a esta hora. 28 Padre, glorifica tu nombre. Entonces vino una voz del cielo: Lo he glorificado, y lo glorificaré otra vez. 29 Y la multitud que estaba allí, y había oído la voz, decía que había sido un trueno. Otros decían: Un ángel le ha hablado. 30 Respondió Jesús y dijo: No ha venido esta voz por causa mía, sino por causa de vosotros. 31 Ahora es el juicio de este mundo; ahora el príncipe de este mundo será echado fuera. 32 Y yo, si fuere levantado de la tierra, a todos atraeré a mí mismo. 33 Y decía esto dando a entender de qué muerte iba a morir. 34 Le respondió la gente: Nosotros hemos oído de la ley, que el Cristo permanece para siempre. ¿Cómo, pues, dices tú que es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es este Hijo del Hombre? 35 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Aún por un poco está la luz entre vosotros; andad entre tanto que tenéis luz, para que no os sorprendan las tinieblas; porque el que anda en tinieblas, no sabe a dónde va. 36 Entre tanto que tenéis la luz, creed en la luz, para que seáis hijos de luz. Incredulidad de los judíos Estas cosas habló Jesús, y se fue y se ocultó de ellos. 37 Pero a pesar de que había hecho tantas señales delante de ellos, no creían en él; 38 para que se cumpliese la palabra del profeta Isaías, que dijo:    Señor, ¿quién ha creído a nuestro anuncio?    ¿Y a quién se ha revelado el brazo del Señor? m 39 Por esto no podían creer, porque también dijo Isaías: 40 Cegó los ojos de ellos, y endureció su corazón; Para que no vean con los ojos, y entiendan con el corazón, Y se conviertan, y yo los sane. m 41 Isaías dijo esto cuando vio su gloria, y habló acerca de él. 42 Con todo eso, aun de los gobernantes, muchos creyeron en él; pero a causa de los fariseos no lo confesaban, para no ser expulsados de la sinagoga. 43 Porque amaban más la gloria de los hombres que la gloria de Dios. Las palabras de Jesús juzgarán a los hombres 44 Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió; 45 y el que me ve, ve al que me envió. 46 Yo, la luz, he venido al mundo, para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas. 47 Al que oye mis palabras, y no las guarda, yo no le juzgo; porque no he venido a juzgar al mundo, sino a salvar al mundo. 48 El que me rechaza, y no recibe mis palabras, tiene quien le juzgue; la palabra que he hablado, ella le juzgará en el día postrero. 49 Porque yo no he hablado por mi propia cuenta; el Padre que me envió, él me dio mandamiento de lo que he de decir, y de lo que he de hablar. 50 Y sé que su mandamiento es vida eterna. Así pues, lo que yo hablo, lo hablo como el Padre me lo ha dicho.

Marshall Mcluhan y la complejidad digital

María José López Niño

En este trabajo se discuten repercusiones de la vida de Mcluhan cómo sus estudios, sus trabajos, sus logros, sus libros etcétera. Relacionan a Mcluhan y la academia de América Latina de comunicación se deja claro que Marshall continuamente ha sido un hombre de medios con dificultad en la zona digital, además se habla de los cuestionamientos que se presentaban en las obras de Mcluhan en la educación de las ciencias de la comunicación en América latina basándose en horizontes marxistas y la teoría de las mediaciones. El desprestigio en las tesis de Mcluhan fueron comunes. Sus libros básicos lo han ubicado de los mass media. Enormes estudiosos y periodistas se sumaron para dialogar de los cuestionamientos a Mcluhan.

Herbert Marshall McLuhan nació el 21 de julio de 1911 en Edmonton, Alberta, Canadá. Estudió la licenciatura en letras y la maestría en artes en la Universidad de Manitoba. Marshall McLuhan se doctoró a los 31 años en la Universidad de Cambridge, y en su tesis doctoral, The place of Thomas Nashe in the learning of his time. En 1936 McLuhan comenzó su carrera académica, desempeñándose como maestro de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Wisconsin. Un año después, en 1937, ha sido contratado en la Universidad de Saint Louis, en Missouri, En 1951 McLuhan redactó su primer libro: The mechanical bride. Folklor of industrial men. En aquel libro planteó una interesante afinidad: comprender al coche como una especie de novia. El carro justamente representa “la novia mecánica”.

“El mediólogo de Canadá Marshall McLuhan (1951) ha debutado en el escenario intelectual norteamericano, al rededor del siglo XX, con la publicación del libro The Mechanical Bride. En aquel libro él ha cumplido la labor de describir la génesis de la cultura de masas, una vez que los medios han configurado los Razón y Palabra. En el primer libro de McLuhan además es viable advertir la predominación de F.R Lewis, quien justamente metió a McLuhan al análisis de la ecología cultural. En 1952 McLuhan obtuvo una cátedra en el St. Michael's College de la Universidad de Toronto, en Canadá En 1953 Marshall McLuhan y el destacado antropólogo Edmund Carpenter fundaron la revista Explorations, con recursos de la Fundación Ford En 1959 McLuhan se ha convertido en director del Plan de Medios de Comunicación de la Agrupación Nacional de Radiodifusión, y la Oficina de Enseñanza del Departamento de Salud, Enseñanza y Confort de USA y la Oficina de Enseñanza del Departamento de Salud, Enseñanza y Confort de USA, le permitió a McLuhan juntar la información primordial para redactar de la obra Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.

En 1962 McLuhan redactó su segundo libro: The Gutenberg Galaxy. The making of typographic man. Aquel libro, publicado por la Universidad de Toronto, le permitió obtener el prestigiado reconocimiento “Governor Gral.'s Award for critical prose”. En 1964 McLuhan divulgó con la editorial McGraw‐Hill Book Co., de la obra Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. Aquel libro velozmente ha sido convertido en un “best seller” y fue traducido a bastante más de veinte lenguajes. A lo largo de la década de 1960, McLuhan divulgó un total de 8 libros: La Galaxia Gutenberg (1962); Exploraciones sobre la Comunicación (con Edmund Carpenter, 1962); Los medios de comunicación como extensiones de las personas (1964); El medio es el masaje (1967); Exploraciones verbi‐voco visuales (1967); Por medio del punto de fuga; el espacio en la poesía y la pintura (con Harley Parker, 1968); Guerra y tranquilidad en la aldea universal (con Quentin Fiore, 1968); y Contraexplosión (1969).

Herbert Marshall McLuhan sin lugar a duda alguna admite ser considerado como uno de los escritores más representativos de los años 60, tiempo de investigación, compromisos y averiguación. Si McLuhan ha sido convertido en una celebridad a lo largo de la década de 1960, en la década de 1970 progresivamente pasó al olvido. McLuhan, a pesar del delicado estado de su salud, mantuvo un fuerte ritmo de trabajo. En 1979 Marshall McLuhan padeció una embolia cerebral que le apartó de manera definitiva de sus ocupaciones académicas. En los últimos meses de vida padeció la despiadada ironía de ir perdiendo paulatinamente todas sus habilidades para comunicarse con los otros. Marshall McLuhan –es justo reconocerlo‐, admite ser considerado como auténtico visionario de las comunicaciones digitales, y representa el obligado punto de inicio para emprender la interpretación de las actividades comunicativas que hoy realizamos por medio de complicadas interfases. Marshall McLuhan falleció en Toronto, Canadá, el 31 de diciembre de 1980, sin poder presenciar el despegue de Internet ‐el “medio de comunicación inteligente” ‐, el cual al final impediría su olvido. En Latinoamérica no pocos académicos y estudiosos de las ciencias de la comunicación pretendieron restar validez a las tesis de McLuhan, a quien consideraban un pensador “funcionalista y pragmático”. Los cuestionamientos a la obra de McLuhan, básicamente ideológicos, se han extendido a nuestros propios días. Al amparo de un “humanismo equivocado”, que en la educación de las ciencias de la comunicación en Latinoamérica fundamentalmente reconocía como horizontes explicativos al marxismo y la teoría de las mediaciones, los cuestionamientos y descalificaciones a las tesis de McLuhan fueron comunes. La descalificación a las tesis de McLuhan procedía del negligente cuestionamiento a la tecnología.

En conclusión, como destacada la investigadora Claudia Benassini Félix, Marshall McLuhan admite ser considerado como auténtica coyuntura en el desarrollo de las comunicaciones digitales:

La década de 1960 se constituye en una especie de bisagra entre lo digital y lo analógico, entre la modernidad y la posmodernidad, entre lo universal y lo local. Casualmente, esta década es la más fértil en la bibliografía de Marshall McLuhan, entonces reconocido como Médico en Letras por la Universidad de Cambridge; instructor de lengua y literatura inglesa, fundador de la revista Exploraciones.

McLuhan es el autor de varios conceptos que definen y anticipan el nuevo escenario de difusión masiva de la sociedad de la información, así como Galaxia Gutenberg, Aldea universal, medios fríos y calientes. Marshall McLuhan es, sin lugar a duda, uno de los más grandes pensadores de la tecnología que ha otorgado la raza humana en el último siglo. Es por esa razón que sus ideas se vuelven, no solamente propicias, sino que importantes, para permitir una lectura procedente y consistente de la serie de portentos que todos encerramos bajo el término de globalización.

Pioneer Architects IX

Modern culture in Mexico has found its filiation and origin in the personal isolation of its artificers, in which the Mexican is defined as the living conscience of it; from poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to architect Luis Barragán. The authentic Mexican women revolution in architecture emerges from the separation from a guild that has always shown a profound historical conscience and ignored until then, the value of the doubt and the exam.

This traditionalism in the Mexican architecture and its ways, gave it strength and depth to these women and their forced isolation by the invisible walls of that same tradition, whose only exit (Barragán would later prescribe it) was a quiet revolution through the resurgence of the disciplinar reality and the conservative schemes of its long history. This secular isolation of women in the architectural field, provided them with a distant intelligence and a critical eye, that wasn’t in love with its particularities. For this issue of Pioneer architects, we find ourselves reflecting over the legacy of the solitary images of these pioneer architects, designers and historians, that shaped in different ways, the culture of design in Mexico in the XX Century, breaking their sound of silence.

Such is the case of  María Luisa Dehesa, the first Latin american architect to receive the degree in Mexico in 1937; Cuban industrial designer Clara Porset, who made her career in Mexico expanding the limits of Academia in the country and worked closely with Luis Barragan and Mario Pani; Nationalist promoter of the Mexican and first architect engineer from the National Polytechnic Institute Ruth Rivera Marín; North American Architecture Historian Esther McCoy whose fascination and critical view on Mexican Modernism would travel and impact the development of architecture and design in California; and first industrial designer, entrepreneur and promoter of Mexican modern design María Aurora Campos Newman.

The real revolution of these women wasn’t to find the crack in the guild’s wall, knock down the doors of their academia, nor open the windows of the discipline searching for fresh air, openness, creative and professional freedom, questioning with their actions the absolute trust with which the old architects confronted the world from their own collegiate and groups. Their greatest merit, was to create themselves a world to live in and share it with us.

María Luisa Dehesa Gómez Farías  (Mexico, 1912-2009) was the first woman to receive her architect degree in Mexico and Latin America, breaking the traditionally man-designated space on the discipline in the country. Her approach to architecture from a social perspective would be defined early on in her career when she proposed her thesis “Artillery Barracks Type” as a response to the high criminality among sons of soldiers that lacked a proper housing to share with their parent who remained quartered in the Barracks. Her proposal for the construction of a social family housing unit shaped her future projects and almost 50 year trajectory where she would continue to focus on housing in government dependencies on an urban scale in Mexico City’s Public Work Department.

Clara Porset (Cuba, 1895-1981) was born in Cuba and became one the referent for Mexican design of the XX century.  She studied architecture and furniture design in the Paris studio of Henri Rapin and attended classes at École des Beaux Arts, Sorbonne, and the Louvre. In 1934 she traveled to the United States to study under former Bauhaus instructors, artists Josef and Anni Albers at Black Mountain College. To her return to Cuba, she was briefly artistic director of the Technical School for Women, which she was forced to leave yet again due to her political stands. Back in Mexico, she married Mexican muralist Xavier Guerrero.

Her furniture designs would continue to be produced by Ruiz Galindo Industries (IRGSA) in the 50’s developing her E (wooden) and H (metal) - office furniture series. Porset later curated the exhibition Art in Daily Life: An Exhibition of Well-Designed Objects Made in Mexico at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 1952, featuring handcrafted and mass-produced objects from local and international artists and designers.

By the end of the 50’s she returned this time to post-revolutionary Cuba to design the new society furniture visions of the revolutionaries in schools and universities.

She returned to Mexico then to teach Art History at the recently founded Industrial Design Program at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, where she settled part of her legacy in Mexican Modern Design through her personal collection, library and archive.

Ruth Rivera Marín (Mexico, 1927-1969) was the first woman to graduate from the College of Engineering and Architecture at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico in 1950. Daughter of Mexican renowned muralist Diego Rivera and well-known actress and writer Guadalupe Rivera Marín, she was early on introduced to the world of the arts and culture. She studied urban rehabilitation in Rome after working in the master plan for the city of Celaya, Guanajuato for the public service. She then returned to Mexico to teach architecture Theory, Architectural Composition and Urban Planning Theory, and furthering her intellectual acumen and nationalist ideal working closely with Diego Rivera and architects Juan O’Gorman, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and Enrique Yañez.

By the 1960’s she became head of planning for the Ministry of public Education’s National Systems of Regional Rural School. Rivera would later be involved on the building of the national Medical Center and the Museum of Modern art in close collaboration with Pedro Ramírez Vázquez; as well as with Luis Barragan on the Museum ‘El Eco’ in Mexico City. Her most noted work was the Anahuacalli Museum in association with Diego Rivera and Juan O’Gorman; and her design for the Mexican Pavilion for the 1962 Century 21 Fair in Seattle alongside Carlos Mijares. Rivera then ran Notebooks of Architecture and Conservation of the Artistic patrimony and its supplement Notebooks of Architecture, a journal of theory and practice in the discipline that was the basis for teaching in the XX Century in Mexico.

Esther McCoy (USA, 1904-1989) was an American architecture critic and historian, instrumental in bringing the modern architecture of California to the world, shaping modernism in Los Angeles. Contributor to the magazine’s Arts & Architecture, Architectural Forum, Architectural Record, Progressive Architecture; the Los Angeles Times and The Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, as well as European journals L'Architectura and Lotus; her writing was a leading critical voice in a male-dominated architecture community, tracing the now well constructed Californian modernism identity.

However, less known is her contribution and broadcast of Mexican Modernism to California. During the year-long period spent in Mexico in 1951, her writing and observations of the vibrant and contextual modernist scene developing in Mexico during the 50’s; while drawing the references and connection in the design language and spatial articulation that architects from both places used, building a bridge between Mexico and California, the international and popular style, Luis Barragán and Rudolph Schindler, Clara Porset and Richard Neutra. During her trips to Mexico, she witnessed the construction of Mario Pani and Enrique del Moral Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Campus, the domestic architecture of Luis Barragán, Juan O-Gorman, and Francisco Artigas, key figures of the the modernization in the country and brought them to an audience that knew little about it.

María Aurora Campos Newman de Díaz (1941-2003) was the first Mexican woman in the country  to graduate as industrial designer from the Universidad Iberoamericana in 1962 with a thesis on packaging for children beauty products. Inspired by her time working at the projects department at Knoll International, she left to Italy in 1965 to continue her studies at the Politecnico di Milano, and then to Germany in 1967 to study at the renowned Universität Ulm. After the school’s definite closing in 1968, she returned to Mexico in 1969, where she became famous for her commitment to promote design as founder of Grupo di in 1971, a company devoted the office-interior space planning, and designated Knoll’s distributed in Mexico until 1985.

Among her most renowned projects of her, was the new image for the international executive lounge for Mexicana de Aviación in Mexico City’s international airport; a project incorporating in the interior design, and integral way to incorporated furniture, exhibition stands, finishings and technology, opening a field of corporate interior design. In 1983, Campos Newman founded DA COLOR, a pioneer store in Mexico specialized in self-build furniture made by national designers. By 1988 Grupo di started importing Italian furniture and becoming the exclusive distributor in the country for Estel, Arflex, Matteograssi and Reixte; until 1999, from where she developed her own office furniture line, produced entirely in Mexico, Euro. Her entrepreneurial labor and integral philosophy towards design, carried an important role in the development and promotion of Mexican modern design.

La cascada de Tamul es un salto de agua de México, el salto de agua más grande del estado de San Luis Potosí, en la cima del cañón del río Santa María, de 300 m de profundidad. La cascada del Tamul tiene 105 metros de altura. Está ubicada al norte del municipio de Aquismón, a aproximadamente 45 minutos de Ciudad Valles.

Nace del caudal del río Gallinas, que acaba desaguando cayendo sobre el cauce del río Santa María. El río que la alimenta cambia de nombre a río Tampaón, justo después aguas abajo de la cascada; todo esto localizado al oeste de Aquismón, en la región conocida como Huasteca. Se accede a la cascada por la carretera de San Luis Potosí, para tomar más tarde una desviación en la localidad El Sauz hasta el ejido La morena, donde cuentan con embarcadero oficial área de estacionamiento y lugares para acampar en el cual pueden contratar su lanchero el cual proporciona su equipo de seguridad para su viaje. El recorrido en lancha dura más de una hora, durante el cual se puede observar el paisaje a través del río. Es posible hacer rappel, entre otras actividades. Así como nadar en una impresionante cueva de agua cristalina con más de 45 m de profundidad y una tranquilidad y belleza absorbentes.

Se forma con la caída de las aguas del río Gallinas, que se integra por otros que nacen en el municipio de Tamasopo, San Luis Potosí. En los años 1960, los lugareños llamaban a la cascada "La Sonadora" por lo estruendoso de su caída en tiempos de lluvia. El río Santa María divide a Tamasopo y Aquismón en dirección N-S y el río Gallinas en la E-O; étnicamente, también es frontera entre teeneks (huastecos) y pames (Xi'oi, que se pronuncia Shihuí o Chihui y no Choy o Xoiu como aparece en muchos escritos).

Tamúl se encuentra en una región donde las caídas de agua son abundantes: en un radio de 100 km se encuentran, en el municipio de Rayón, La Llovinosa y Los Chorros; en el de El Naranjo, el Salto de Tanloquen, El Meco y Minas Viejas; en Xilitla, Las Pozas en el jardín surrealista de Edward James; en Ciudad Valles, Micos y en Tamasopo, las cascadas de Tamasopo Viejo, Puente de Dios, El Paraíso, California, El Aguacate, Las Cascaditas y tres sin explorar, de importante altura, en el río San Nicolás de los Montes, afluente del Gallinas. Además de éstas, hay innumerables parajes y ríos subterráneos y el último humedal de San Luis Potosí, la Ciénaga de Tampasquín en Tamasopo, conocida como ciénega de Cabezas. jaimeariansen@outlook.com

读书笔记 | 短命国旗与复活国旗小识录

亚马逊的Kindle Unlimited是个不错的东西，我在日本亚马逊上每月花980日元订阅了这项服务，一个账户可以借阅10本Kindle Unlimited的书或杂志，没事搜罗搜罗，还是会有不错的发现。

最近搜罗的是各种「图鉴」，比如这本「最新版 国旗と国章図鑑」（世界文化社, 2018.12）。

国旗这种东西是常看常新，这次看又有一些新发现。

比如发现几面格外短命的国旗。像1903年的巴拿马，在不到2个月的时间里，换了两面国旗。最初的版本是巴拿马首任总统的夫人María de la Ossa de Amador在11月1日制作的，当时巴拿马还没有脱离哥伦比亚，而11月3日巴拿马宣布独立时，这面旗帜已经飘扬在巴拿马城了。

当时的版本是蓝色色块在左上角，后来蓝色被赋予象征保守党的含义，如果将这个重要的位置留给一个政党会显得不够公正、平衡，于是将白色色块调换了上来，并在1903年12月20日经立法确定为现在的样子。

说起短命的国旗，塞浦路斯在1960年4月6日-8月16日间使用的国旗也算一个。塞浦路斯国旗是1960年通过设计竞赛产生的，根据当时的宪法，国旗不能包含蓝色或者红色（希腊与土耳其的颜色）、也不能出现十字架或新月这样的宗教符号，以让国旗保持中立。

虽然在塞浦路斯分裂之后，这面国旗主要由希腊族人使用，但国旗的设计者却是一位土族人İsmet Güney，他后来生活在北塞浦路斯，但晚年还向塞浦路斯政府追索设计费，据说塞浦路斯首任总统马卡里奥斯三世曾经答应他每年支付20英镑的设计费，但结果一笔都没收到……

塞浦路斯国旗是少有的在旗面上描绘国家地图的国旗（另一个是科索沃，以及孟加拉国第一面国旗）。在最初的版本里，地图的颜色是白色的，由黄铜色描边，但是这种设计制作起来并不便利，因此后来改为完整的黄铜色色块。

刚刚提到的孟加拉国首面国旗也是一面短命国旗，从1971年3月使用到1972年1月17日。后来的国旗去掉了红色圆盘里的孟加拉地图。

据说取消地图的原因是，地图会让人联想起东西巴基斯坦令人不愉快的分裂，而且从反面看是反的。

而在看到看到塔吉克斯坦这页时，发现一个之前不知道的事情。那就是1991-1992年，在这短短的一年间，该国曾经使用过另一面国旗。

很明显，这面短命国旗，只是简单地去掉了苏联时代国旗上的镰刀锤子五角星。现在塔吉克斯坦国旗1992年11月才启用，这也让塔吉克���坦成为最后一个采用新国旗的前苏联国家。

按照塔吉克苏维埃社会主义共和国国旗的设计理念，红色代表共和国的统一和工人革命，白色象征棉塔吉克农业的基础花生产，绿色代表其他农产品。而红色、白色和绿色也是泛伊朗色彩，是共和国波斯文化的标志，在苏联加盟共和国的国旗里也是比较特别的。而这套泛伊朗色彩，也被后来的国旗继承下来。

苏联解体时，宣布独立的各个加盟共和国其实都面临着换国旗的问题。

有一些加盟共和国，在独立后依然把过去的国旗原封不动地沿用了一段时间，直到1992年设计出新国旗。中亚加盟共和国大多属此例，因此在某种意义上，这些国旗也是短命国旗。

哈萨克苏维埃社会主义共和国国旗 → 哈萨克斯坦共和国国旗（1991年12月16日 - 1992年6月4日，也有资料称，因为新国旗制作工艺复杂，有法律法律允许旧国旗继续使用到1994年1月1日）

有资料称，哈萨克斯坦新国旗最初的版本，靠近旗杆处的民族纹饰是红色的，而非今天的金黄色。但在很短的时间里，这面国旗就被放弃了，纹饰换成了与旗面上太阳、飞鹰相同的金黄色。

后来纹饰样式又有所修改，成为今天的模样。这面国旗由艺术家Shaken Niyazbekov设计，其艺术美感，在全世界国旗里都是数一数二的。

吉尔吉斯苏维埃社会主义共和国国旗 → 吉尔吉斯斯坦共和国国旗（1991年8月31日-1992年3月3日，1993年改名吉尔吉斯共和国）

新国旗设计的也不错，红色的旗面象征「勇敢」，红色也是英雄玛纳斯的颜色。中间的太阳象征「和平与繁荣」，四十道光芒代表被玛纳斯联合起来与蒙古人作战的40个部落。

旗面上的图案来自传统民居毡房（tunduk）的房顶，还原度很高，还象征着"生命的起源”、"时间和空间的统一”。

平心而论，这面国旗设计的也很不错。不过近年来，在吉尔吉斯斯坦政治动荡、族群冲突的背景下，有少数民族群体认为，本民族曾被玛纳斯征服，并不认同这面源自玛纳斯战旗的旗帜。也有人认为红色的旗面，让人想起苏联时代。

土库曼苏维埃社会主义共和国国旗 → 土库曼斯坦国旗（1991年10月27日 - 1992年2月19日）

旗帜中的两条蓝色横纹，代表阿姆河和锡尔河（然而锡尔河并不流经土库曼斯坦）。

土库曼斯坦的新国旗1992年2月19日正式启用，在征集设计方案时，要求「只考虑祖先的传统和民族特性」，这点反映出来就是旗杆处沿线5块传统地毯图样的设计，也使其成为世界上设计最复杂的国旗。

这面国旗使用的时间也不长。1997年五块地毯下面增加了一个橄榄枝的图案，象征土库曼斯坦的永久中立国地位，并且调整了五颗星的位置。

2001年又调整了尺寸，从1：2改为2：3。

像塔吉克斯坦这种去掉苏联标志的情况，其实是比较特殊的。

另外，一部分加盟共和国在提出主权宣言后（1990-1991），就迫不及待的地采用了新国旗（甚至禁用之前带有苏联元素的国旗），而这些旗帜在独立后也成为新国家的国旗。乌兹别克斯坦，是中亚五国中���早开始设计新国旗的。1991年8月31日宣布独立，很快便开始征集新国旗的方案，1991年11月18日便确定了现在国旗的样式。波罗的海��国、外高加索三国、俄罗斯、乌克兰、摩尔多瓦也属此例，而且新国旗基本上都是历史上使用过的。

只有白俄罗斯比较特殊，先是在1991年复活了1918年的老国旗，紧接着又在1995年复活了苏联时代的旗帜。

1991年采用的这面旗帜，来自于1918年的白俄罗斯民主共和国，一般被称作「白红白旗」。白色和红色是历史上立陶宛大公国和波兰-立陶宛联邦的代表颜色。

也有说法认为是来自立陶宛大公国的纹章Pahonia，这个纹章也是1991-1995年白俄罗斯的国徽。

1991-1994年的白俄罗斯政治体制依然延续了苏维埃制，直到1994年才改行总统制。卢卡申科当选总统之后，就开启了更换国家标志的进程，并在1995年发起一次全民公决，87%的投票者支持更换国旗。

在全民公决之前的舆论造势中，白俄罗斯的官方媒体称「白红白旗」是卫国战争期间纳粹合作者的标志、是法西斯符号。更戏剧的是，在全民公决结果发布之前，卢卡申科的行政主管Ivan Titenkov还亲自爬上政府大楼楼顶，降下「白红白旗」并当众弄碎。因为当时新国旗生效的法令还没有签署，反对者还曾想以破坏国旗的罪名给Titenkov治罪。

白俄罗斯的新国旗脱胎于苏联时代的国旗。旗杆一侧的图案，源自一种名叫Ruchnik的白俄罗斯民族织物，国旗上的纹样来自档案中的图片，是在1917年由农民Matrona Markyevich制作，后由艺术家M. I. Gusyew修改。

1995年的版本去掉了苏联的象征符号，并调整了旗杆侧织物的样式。

2012年又对织物的样式进行了调整，成为了今天的模样。

国旗这种东西，本就是政治的产物，可以因政局变换而废弃，也可以因此而复活。在看「最新版 国旗と国章図鑑」时，还发现几例。

例如加纳国旗，现在的版本启用于1957年，1964年恩克鲁玛搞了一次宪法全民公决，决定人民大会党成为唯一合法政党，随后国旗便从「红黄绿」三色旗改为「红白绿」，和人民大会党的党旗一致。1966年恩克鲁玛被推翻后，国旗便又换回了之前的版本。

巧合的是，匈牙利国旗也是「红白绿」，相比于之前的颇具特色的泛非主义旗帜，少了些个性。

再如赤道几内亚国旗，目前的国旗早在1968年便已启用。然而在1973年弗朗西斯科·恩圭马当政期间，国旗上使用了不同的国徽。1979年恩圭马倒台，推翻他的是他的侄子特奥多罗·奥比昂·恩圭马。这位恩圭马上台之后，又恢复了1968年的国旗。

老恩圭马时期的国徽便是当时赤道几内亚唯一合法政党劳动国民统一党的党徽，由几把工具、一把剑和一只鸡组成，还写着国家格言：Trabajo（工作）以及Unidad（统一）、Paz（和平）、Justicia（正义）。

被复活的还有马拉维老国旗，「黑红绿」三色来自独立时执政党马拉维大会党。2010年，民主进步党领导的政府提议更换国旗，三色顺序改为「红黑绿」，原国旗顶端的「朝阳」被位于旗面中央的白色太阳取代，45套光线代表马拉维独立以来的经济进步。反对党联合民主阵线反对变更国旗，但总统宾古·瓦·穆塔里卡依然批准了新国旗。这个国旗在马拉维国内并不受欢迎，被戏称为「宾古旗」。2012年宾古死后，在新总统的领导下，议会投票决定恢复独立时的国旗。

平心而论，马拉维这两面国旗设计的都还不错，不过相比于这面「正午旗」，被复活的「朝阳旗」似乎更有意境。

太平洋小国图瓦卢在1995年到1997年4月间，连换了两面国旗。当时是总理Kamuta Latasi，当政期间一直在折腾国旗这件事。1978年独立时的图瓦卢国旗有9颗星，1995年去掉了1颗星，因为「图瓦卢」的意思是「八个一起」。

1996年1月，又重新设计了国旗，去掉了左上角的米字旗，还保留了8颗星。不过当地居民并不喜欢这面国旗，认为这是要用共和制取代君主立宪制。不过也有人认为这一举措，让图瓦卢告别了殖民时期的记忆。（说实话，这个国旗的设计真的很不好看）

1996年12月24日，Kamuta Latasi卸任。新当选的总理Bikenibeu Paeniu在1997年4月，又恢复了1978年的米字旗+9颗星的国旗。

所以说，��面上是国旗之争，实则是政治之争，但不管怎样，都是折腾。

关于读这本书时的其他发现，会陆续在微博上更新。
