We have re-structured and increased our LINKS OF INTEREST.

We want to show the thickness and overlapping that they have, making available a number of sites of interest, both institutions and social organizations, professional and specific topics.

believe it is this complex network of information which reflects and determines the state of the art both in Chile and other countries around the globe.

Links of interest have been arranged in the following categories:

global institutions.
GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS AND PROGRAMS / CHILE.
COMMUNITIES AND RELATED PROFESSIONALS.
CITIZENSHIP / CHILE. SUSTAINABILITY
. SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
. SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE
.

Through the pages you can reach a lot of interesting information, documents, concepts, current, interesting .. To cite some examples, the UNESCO page contains beautiful movies about the underwater world. The page Urban Observatory, provides interesting information, like a long list of urban indicators of Chilean cities. Our intention is

base is continually enrich data with new links and categories.

Of course, you can access them by scrolling down through the right column blog. No doubt only a small sample of all sites that address the issues involved, but we understand that our mission is only to provide a window, open the reader's curiosity .

Vitoria-Gasteiz is a city located in northeastern Spain and is part of the Basque Country. A little less than 15 years the authorities began to design a "green belt" around it, in order to restore and enhance the green areas peripheral to the city. Here, as in almost every city, were undergoing a process of gradual degradation.

In turn, this physical border was intended to draw a line the expansive growth of the development projects of the era, including the creation of new industrial parks, residential neighborhoods and new roads on rural and agricultural land, located on the outskirts of the city's traditional radio.

The green belt project includes a series of measures, ranging from the recovery of areas were once wetlands, their renaturation, the re-channeling of rainwater were flooding in urban areas, the introduction of animals such as deer, creating gardens for people of the 3rd age, guided walks, bicycle paths, among others.

We invite

Francisca Jimenez, who is leading the BIOESPACIOS, has benefited from the Government of Chile, through CONICYT (National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research) and its system Scholarship grants Chile-call 2010 , for a Masters abroad.

Thus, from October 2010 until July 2011, the professional will reside in the city of Madrid, Spain to attend the Master " Efficient building and energy and environmental rehabilitation " , issued by the Senior Center Building , an institution under the UEM .

To date, this transfer has already taken place. From there he writes:

"(..) Today, a few days of arriving, I can say that this change of context brings many new . The most obvious is the time to delve into topics of interest , open new doors or ways of looking at the architecture, the phenomenon-and need-for the rehabilitation of cities and neighborhoods, there is the experience of achieving new learning , perhaps find answers to old questions ..

On the other hand, is in everyday life, the almost inevitable confrontation with what is happening here (Spain, Madrid, Europe) and what happens in Chile on buildings, cities, people, public space. There is much to share and discuss ..


hope, especially through the graphical information, to convey the emotion and feelings that are on here, seeing so many different realities sometimes and others, so strangely familiar (.. ) "
