En el primer caso, el carácter esencialmente escrito de las descripciones puede llevar a numerosos errores en el momento de su identificación precisa. Las cartografías y planes tienen también un carácter impreciso; y no establecen con claridad el mosaico geométrico del suelo, conllevando por ello diferencias notables entre unos y otros. For example, la cartografía en la que se apoya el Catastro de la Propiedad del Ministerio de Hacienda no tiene nada que ver con los mapas geográficos de las empresas cartográficas que dan soporte espacial gráfico. Como los mapas y planos que oferta la empresa cartográfica de Canarias, Grafcan.

El problema es que toda esa información existente suele ser contradictoria y poco precisa. Solares abandonados. Participación ciudadana. Es una constante el forcejeo en el cambio de los límites entre propietarios vecinos que lleva a numerosos pleitos y situaciones conflictivas.

Un informe técnico de carácter urbanístico es así una herramienta esencial a la hora de dilucidar ante terceros el alcance real de las propiedades particulares y públicas.

El mundo según China

Federico Garcia Barba — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 09:01:19 +0000

La visión del planeta que tienen los ciudadanos de los distintos países suele variar considerablemente.

¡Adiós 1.300 millones de personas, La importancia de los linderos. Envejecimiento. Ningún otro sitio tiene un nivel de importaciones y exportaciones superior a China lo que hace que otros poderes económicos como Estados Unidos, Japón o la Unión Europea sientan este poder como una amenaza creciente. Sus relaciones internacionales se han concentrado principalmente fuera de esas áreas y otras, estableciendo poderosos lazos de intercambio.

Accordingly, los habitantes de China tienen una visión del mundo completamente diferente a la de europeos y norteamericanos. De acuerdo al gráfico que ha elaborado Philippe Rekacewicz para la Monde Diplomatique en 2012, así perciben hoy los chinos al resto del mundo.

Distribution of world population. Image: Living in the endless city. Phaidon, 2011

Apparently this week the world population has reached seven billion people. An event that occurs amid a powerful crisis that lasts four years, and affects just those, in recent decades, have been exerting economic leadership, political and military, los Estados Unidos y Europa.

It is an overwhelming amount, that it reflects the number of those who inhabit the Earth. Curiously, is presented from the media, those machines that draw our attention constantly, molding distracting thought and everyday problems. From that perspective and constantly generated perverse, solo es posible la frustración y el escape individualista ante problemas como éste que percibimos inabarcable en su inmensidad.

On the other hand, we can not individually or collectively find an adequate response to these challenges as huge. The only attitude that unites us is a constant demand answers without solutions glimpse. Meanwhile, and what is more serious, to those on foot we will gradually stealing the ability to influence, entangled by supposed leaders who are also subject to powers whose understanding eludes them.

According to United Nations data handled by past would grow by more than one billion people in just twelve years old and is expected to 2.050 we have reached the 10 billion. A fact which coincides with the transfer of the strength of the economy to other places is confusing us recognize. Percibir la fuerza y alcance de esos fenómenos en curso debería servirnos para poder actuar y conformar nuestra respuesta en consecuencia.

Major cities in the north of the Indian subcontinent, between Pakistan, India and Bangladesh

Driven by this curiosity, I made a few simple inquiries on current demographic conditions of our planet. I extract some data: Just over a third of the world population, or 2.500 million, accumulates in only two countries: China and India. And there, in the first, in an area of few hundred kilometers (en 30 cities, around Shanghai) live 100 millones de personas. Likewise, in the Indian subcontinent live another hundred million more, along a strip that runs parallel to the Himalayas and running from Lahore in Pakistan to Dhaka in Bangladesh.

Perforce, those areas and countries of the world are those that are designed to powerfully influence our destinies in the future. What happens there will shape our expectations of human development and quality of life. One such extreme human density, located in environments as concrete, will polarize the carrying capacity of the globe in its entirety. And, following Malthus, la lucha por los menguantes recursos disponibles va a intensificarse despiadadamente en detrimento de los más débiles.

And, versus, collective constructions, ideological, Western social policies and have been adding complexity and difficulty exercising that global soft power that has characterized the last fifty years. Until it has reached a paralysis and loss of previous hegemony that has held since those other parts of the world who referred to the principle.

Runaway growth of the population is a fact of unparalleled forcefulness, somehow reveals and confirms that loss of American and European influence in favor of other regions and continents, precisamente porque allí no crece tan exageradamente el número de personas.

The Horreo Gallego

Jorge Mosquera — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 07:44:00 +0000

Recientemente he tenido la oportunidad de visitar Galicia y un elemento característico de esta región y que me gustaría destacar es el Hórreo Gallego.

It is a type of construction used to protect fruits mainly corn harvest. The Granary is stored, dry and preserves the grain, that requires good ventilation, insulation and moisture protection, además de un adecuado sistema de defensa contra insectos y roedores.
The Galician granaries are rectangular and are made of stone, a diferencia de los asturianos son de planta cuadrada.
Its origin is not clear, one hypothesis is that it started with the Roman Empire, another theory is that it comes from Celtic times and was later enhanced with important adaptations by Romans, es muy probable que los pilares sean la contribución romana.
The Granary is raised from the ground by pillars for better aeration, these are topped by rounded plates to prevent access to rodents barn. Las columnas son monolíticas y tienen formas variables tendentes siempre a la simplicidad geométrica.

The camera is the room in which grain is stored, usually has a rectangular plan and height, variable width and length. The camera length between 1,30 and 1,50 meters, in order that the pins are not too far from the wall. The camera consists of the following parts: lower beams grades calls or Pontóns, the floorboards on them, some columns, padieiras and the pinches are closing elements or walls, of different materials and with numerous vents, upper beams calls soleiras, and coverage elements are usually gabled. Las paredes permiten la ventilación por todos los costados y la estructura se protege de la lluvia con un tejado de teja a dos aguas que se adorna en los dos extremos con cruces y otras formas en piedra.

As part of the composition of the granary there are a number of elements that have no practical, are ornaments and express the concept that has the citizen of his relationship with the crop and grain guard, from an anthropological perspective and cultural. On the roof is easy to find a wide range of terminal elements with a sense halfway between the decorative and the functional,crossings, windbreaks, remates piramidales etc.

Luz nocturna

Un amigo nos manda esta maravillosa foto nocturna de Gran Canaria, vista desde Vilaflor en lo alto de la zona sur de la vecina isla de Tenerife.

It is interesting to note the degree of light pollution that has been concentrated in such a short space of time. And considering that there is a specific law that protects the quality the sky in the archipelago, the Ley 31/1988 of 31 October on the Astronomical Quality Protection.

That statute establishes very basic principles for the management and treatment of urban lighting to ensure the possibility of stargazing at its best in certain parts of the islands. Above all, those that have significant cosmos observatories, como el de las Cañadas del Teide en Tenerife y el del Roque de Los Muchachos en la isla de La Palma.

Here's a video that explains the reasons for this measure:

The albino palm of La Palma

Jorge Mosquera — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:44:00 +0000

For more than 50 years the attention of the curious and the interest of fitógrafos, the albino canary palm nestled in La Palma “the beautiful island”. Surprised by its striking mix of green and yellow color is due to the absence of chlorophyll in their leaves, making it extremely sensitive to a variety, un fenómeno botánico poco común que ha sido objeto de estudio por profesores universitarios y botánicos y cuyos intentos por reproducir no han dado resultado.

Texto y fotos de Carlo Morici biólogo experto en palmeras.
“Palm trees have leaves variegated fluted white or yellow and are very rare in the world. It is especially rare to find with these features, la Phoenix canariensis albina es un ejemplar adulto unico.
It is a female specimen has not been able to reproduce, the owner told me a few years ago that regularly produces seeds, but born albino seedlings that are completely without chlorophyll, por ello mueren después de algunos meses de vida.
The palm side Mirca spontaneously sprouted a home, where owners were worried at first because it was a palm tree that was born too close to home, but decided not to touch, ya que tenía un aspecto extraño y era más lenta de lo habitual.
In the Canary Islands there are few Phoenix canariensis with variegated leaves, only in Gran Canaria and La Gomera, but none seem to be as flashy as palm Mirca, that is admired and mentioned by palm enthusiasts worldwide”.

The town of Los Cristianos and tourism

View of the coast of Los Cristianos. Isla de Tenerife, 1920

Here is a selection of images of when tourism development began in the south of Tenerife, alrededor del pequeño poblado de pescadores de Los Cristianos.

To 1960, some visitors Nordic climatic advantages discovered south of the island of Tenerife. By the end of that decade had installed some nursing home dedicated to the recovery of pulmonary and physical rehabilitation during the Northern Hemisphere winter season. Estas primeras implantaciones singulares fueron los catalizadores de una colonización turística sin precedentes que ha generado una auténtica ciudad en apenas medio siglo.

At that time, access road south of the island was extremely difficult effort requiring several hours to traverse settlements that dotted the mediocrity of the south side of the island. The southern highway linking the capital Santa Cruz with the peoples of the south of the island starting as a branch from the junction of the Hill on the outskirts of the city and connecting on Candelaria, Guimar, Fasnia, Arico y Granadilla para llegar finalmente a Los Cristianos desde la parte alta de Arona.

The spatial pattern of Tenerife Island Plan. Doxiadis Iberian, 1972

An idea for planning urban island, the Island Plan 1972, designed by Doxiadis Iberian naturalization papers give a series of initiatives that would transform a radically the way they interacted with the island of Tenerife, communications, its economy, etc.. That document would provide the outline of a new way of communication and connection with the south island it would be critical to the territorial model change, la autopista the TF-1. Beside it also designing a battery of infrastructure and land allocations that have scheduled the development of the island along fifty years. This is the case of the Reina Sofia airport, the port and industrial area of Granadilla, the allocation of the coast for tourist use, etc.

The House of Sweden, located off the coast of Los Cristianos. 1964

In the early years 70 begin to emerge and buildings for service that demand was beginning to emerge regarding the use of the shoreline for swimming and sunlight. In Los Cristianos, pioneering facility would be known as home of the Swedish, it would be at one end of the beach and, nowadays, is immersed inside the urban continuum giving coastal walk against pedestrian. Behind her the project would Wintersol, a health facility and rationally planned and would include services and spaces for rehabilitation. It would be an exemplary work of architects Saavedra Diaz Llanos and serve as a reference for much of the later buildings designed, in one way or another, a acoger a los nuevos visitantes provenientes del norte de Europa.

In ten years would incorporate numerous buildings to small fishing village of Los Cristianos which would radically transform primitive morphology on very flimsy. It would be the definition of the development adjoining Americas when truth be projected tourist city on stronger technical basis, de acuerdo nuevamente al diseño funcional de Doxiadis Ibérica.

The images here together, reflejan de alguna manera esa etapa inicial de la urbanización de un territorio que hoy se ha convertido en uno de los motores que mueven la economía de la isla de Tenerife.
