Author: TourFactory Pereira, Colombia (Special, My City: 100th upload) [TRANCE]
TRANCE!!! Der Mystik & Mark Ottiz presents El Cartel - Pereira (Tenthu Remix) La ciudad en que nací, siempre he vivido y en la que quiero morir; en mi bella querendona, trasnochadora y morena, mi Pereira del alma, la ciudad más bella de esta Tierra... Dios te bendiga ciudad mía, y a todos sus habitantes... Actualmente (Ago 2008) termino mi trabajo de grado de Ingeniería Eléctrica en la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira... This is a tribute to my city: PEREIRA Der Mystik (aka. Paulo Der Muñoz) was born the March 2nd of 1978 in Pereira city, the capital of Risaralda state, in Colombia. At his early age, he started practicing music with a keyboard and took piano & flute classes when he was in High School but he never completed the program. Then after high school he started working as a mobile Dj, playing at parties and small events at local nightclubs, but due to personal problems, he was forced to stop those activities and his dreams of becoming a Dj and producer seemed to be shattered then. A couple of years later, he moved to New York (USA), and there he found out about a music game called "MTV Music Generator 2" for the Playstation 2, which he bought with the very first check of his regular job and started making sounds with it. "It is not a professional program, you can't make serious dance music with it, but it taught me the basics of music production, it helped me to understand the use of reverb and delay, how to arrange a track, and developed my ear to make beautiful melodies without using a keyboard", said Der Mystik. In 2004, he moved to California and it is there where he creates his first solid musical attempt, Garden of Whispers in using Fruity Loops Studio, which was supported by Suzy Solar in her etn.fm show "Solar Sessions", as she also listed it in the 7th place in her monthly chart. In the beginning of the third quarter of 2005, Paulo Der Muñoz won the UKTA 2005 Anthem Competition with his track Eye of the Vortex and starts playing regularly his show "Der Sezzionz" at Internet Stations. From this point, Der Mystik's music has been heard through several record labels such as Neuroscience Recordings, Moonrising Records, Istmo Music/Dub Tech Recordings, Atmosphoria Records, RealMusic Recordings and Redux Recordings, as well as CD compilations like "Transmasters" and "Sin Fronteras". Der Mystik's near/far future goals include the start of Real Legacy Records, a record label co-owned with his brother (Reliic), become an established name in the music industry, and finish his high education degrees on Music and Web/Art Design.

Author: paratoxically How to design like an architect
This is the architect's neighborhood volume 3. How to design like an architect. I'm Doug Patt. I thought the best way to talk about design would be to create a dream home for someone, but first, let's talk about the design process. An architect, like any design professional draws on a wellspring of information. How we design is based to some extent on what we know. What we know can be based on the school we went to, the books we've read, the magazines we like to look at, where we grew up, our friends and relatives, the occupations we've held and in general, our life experiences. A professor named Edmund Bacon (actually the father of the actor Kevin Bacon) told me something once that I will never forget. He said, "It's in the doing that the idea comes". That is, we must sit and work through something before we can find the best way to solve a problem. Solving a design problem is essentially taking what we know and putting it together with that particular challenge. When an architect sits down to problem solve they frequently sketch. Sketching is one of the best ways to work out the solution to a problem. And I believe that it's exactly what Edmund Bacon meant when he said "it's in the doing that the idea comes." Before we design our dream home I need to give you a little insight into one of my favorite architects. Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 -- August 27, 1965) was a Swiss born architect, writer and painter among other things. He was well known as a modern architect and for his theories & approach to architecture. I'll save his story for another episode, but would like to reference one of his most well known buildings. The Unite d'Habitation in Maresielles France is a very modern looking, long, narrow building that incorporates a number of Corbusier's design principals. The building is set on large concrete piloti's or pillars. It also incorporates a roof garden and sculpture. Although the style is seen as brutalist, it was Corbusier and his team's intention that the building provide better living conditions for occupants in a crowded city. They did this by stacking narrow two story apartments rather than spreading them out over the landscape. The buildings compact, lifted form was also seen as opening up the ground plane and providing the residents with a place of recreation on the roof. So, keep those things in mind as we look to design our dream home. This is Kelly. Kelly's dream home is a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean in California. She loves modern architecture. Now for purposes of time constraints I'm only going to design a small portion of the house and I'm going to do it quickly. So, It goes without saying that any architect worth their salt should be using a lot more information & spend a lot more time problem solving than I'm sharing with you here. Now, I assumed the site was narrow because of the scarcity of build able land in say Laguna Beach, CA. In that case I decided the home would be long and narrow, but tall. Every area has zoning ordinances that would probably affect the height of this building but I'm going to ignore them for this exercise. The house will be essentially a four-story window that points directly at the ocean view. Kelly want's to be a counselor so we know there should be some kind of space dedicated to having discussions and being inspired. A cantilevered deck is perfect for this. Now, an architect gets all kinds of useful information when interviewing a client for a job. Kelly's favorite building material is stainless steel so I decided to clad the whole house with it. Kelly also told me she had been born on an Indian reservation so I added this conical shape to the roof. A reference to the traditional American Indian tee pee. And there you have it. I put what I know together with the challenge of creating a dream home. SOME of what I referenced was work by Le Corbusier. What we've ended up with is a four story building set on pilotis. A home with a roof garden and roof sculpture that doubles as an observation deck. And finally a long narrow building with stacked living accommodations and a breathtaking view. All put together, a dream home for Kelly. So, thanks for checking out how to design like an architect. I'm Doug Patt. If you want me to design your dream home just subscribe to my youtube channel, then send me a message in the connect with section. If I get enough interest maybe I'll pic you & design your dream home in an upcoming episode!

Resolved Question: any good links containing garden plans or designs? ?
I am trying to plan my very first garden for next spring. I'm very confused. I'm not sure what to plant in the fall and what to save for the spring. I have some plants in containers such as, asiatic lilies, trandwinds hibiscus, calla lilies, bell flowers, and datura moonflowers. Can I keep these in the house over the winter or do I have to plant them beforehand? I'd also like to have a fall garden this year. Am I too late to plant one? I am having a hard time designing the gardens. That's why I've waited so long so if anyone knows where I can find some sample plans, advice on the aspects I should address as I make my designs or anything I maybe forgetting before I start planting please send your advice or some good links, books, etc. Thanks! Resolved Question: Where can I find a free internet site for DIY garden yard designs?
I have a rather small front yard and a large back yard and I would like to design it myself and try to do all the labour myself aswell. Resolved Question: Best way to edit/design digital garden pictures on a laptop??
I am a landscape gardener, and I am looking for some way to take pictures of a clients garden, upload them to my laptop then sit with the client and re-design the pictures with input from the client. Possibly a graphics tablet? photoshop? touch sensitive screen ? so I can draw straight onto the digital images. It would be good if there was a package available that provided different options of pre made objects such as fencing, block paving, turf, decking, shrubs which could be placed onto the photograph to show what the finished garden would look like. I have seen a kitchen designer use something similar where he took a picture of the clients kitchen, then showed her what it would look like with the new kitchen fitted. Any ideas Thanks Resolved Question: Where can I find a good garden design for a shady area of my house?
I live in Zone 6 and would prefer a long flower blooming season. Would prefer something low maintenance. The area measures 60' x 10' Resolved Question: I need to get good software for designing garden?
I need to get good software for designing garden |
