We currently live in a positive society, characterized by complacency, immediacy and consumerism; a visual city; exposed to constant images and information. Phenomenon that can be reflected in the conduct of life habits in 21st century departments, where contemporary aesthetics is more specifically seen. These reflections will be associated with attributes of intimacy; concept understood from the aesthetics of living; since they belong to affective and subjective values from intimate spaces, which become poetic images, often lost in favor of visual dominance. The article does not carry out a destructive critique of the concept of department, and it assumes the whirlpool of these typologies with reflection, to recognize their potentialities through the understanding of intimacy, from its abstract to its materialization in architectural elements, which many times are far from the responses of the contemporary city.

La arquitectura se ve cada vez más involucrada con las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En tiempos de vertiginosos cambios, esta disciplina se dispone a debatir los aportes de los nuevos instrumentos a la labor diaria. En cuanto a la transmisión de información gráfica encontramos la realidad virtual, una alternativa que plantea nuevas posibilidades en el marco del ejercicio disciplinar. Si bien el debate sobre su uso se ubica en el plano actual, al tomar el concepto de realidad virtual, como hecho arquitectónico, nos permite remontarnos a finales de los 70, cuando aún las TIC ofrecían un incipiente desarrollo. Es el caso la serie de proyectos titulados Ciudades de la Arqueología Ficticia, de Eisenman. Con relación a lo indicado, el objetivo del artículo es valorar en qué medida las Ciudades de la Arqueología Ficticia anticiparon la realidad virtual como medio de proyección arquitectónica, en el estudio de Eisenman.

Toda arquitectura comienza por una idea representada en una imagen. Esta entrega información significativa sobre formas de habitar e ideas culturales, pudiendo ser reproducida y modificada mediante los medios comunicacionales de hoy, alcanzando horizontes impensados y sirviendo de influencia para nuevas ideas. A través de este artículo se busca comprender las bases culturales y arquitectónicas de las imágenes mostradas a través de los escenarios imaginados del Estudio Ghibli relacionadas con la arquitectura japonesa. Específicamente se analizaron dos largometrajes en donde se puede observar una estrecha relación con la arquitectura japonesa observada y estudiada en conjunto con la Universidad de Tokio.

El paisaje de las áreas verdes públicas no es un espacio neutro al género y, por lo tanto, su diseño puede influir en la reproducción de desigualdades impactando en la calidad de la vida urbana. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo examinar los usos de las/os usuarias/os en tres espacios verdes públicos del barrio de Parque Patricios ubicado al sur de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, a fin de dar cuenta desde la perspectiva de género, las diferentes actividades que se realizan y formas de habitar estas áreas públicas moldeando el paisaje.

El reconocimiento de dos temas totalmente olvidados, como el rol de la Quinta Normal, y la importancia de los hongos en Chile y el mundo, por una falta del desarrollo de la Micología y la pérdida paulatina de su hábitat, representa un problema de gestión urbana, espacio y diseño que se debe abordar desde la arquitectura. El Fungario Nacional se proyecta como un equipamiento científico, cultural y público, el cual se acopla perfectamente a la potencial red educacional que conforma el Parque Quinta Normal.

This paper is about the syntax of the third person object marker (OM) of an under-represented Spanish dialect spoken in Teopantlan, Puebla (Mexico). Even though this object marker has the familiar Spanish form of the third person singular masculine object clitic lo, the former shows a divergent behavior with respect to the pronominal clitics in other Spanish dialects: a proclitic tendency, an almost complete lack of a-markers for od in doubling contexts, lack of evidence of an agreement between the clitic-like form and the doubled DP and also a low or null interaction between the semantics of the doubled phrase and the object marker. In this paper I show some descriptive data of the Teopantlan dialect and also, I propose an analysis based on agree and lexical specifications of the little v head, that allows us to account for the above-mentioned behavior of this form that has not yet been considered in the literature for this or similar Spanish dialects.

This article informs of the findings of a study of Spanish as a foreign language learners’ corpus of levels A2 and B1 whose focus examines errors in the use of grammatical collocations of the type verb+preposition (GramCol v+p). Its aim is to determine and compare their frequency in writing according to competence and under location, descriptive and syntactic-semantic criteria. This study conceptualizes GramCol from a phraseological perspective, and is based on the models of Error Analysis, and Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis. The results show that the most frequent errors: (1) affect the whole collocation, (2) are of the addition type, and (3) concentrate on those units whose collocates alternate with others expressing the same meaning, and on those whose collocate may appear implicit. Moreover, the data point out a similar frequency in the errors of levels A2 and B1 regarding the three analyzed criteria. The method and design of this study contribute to the research of intermediate fixedness phraseological units, specifically in respect to the nature of errors that affect ColGram v+p.

Different studies have described patterns of conceptual metaphors of time in terms of space that distinguish the languages of the world. While expressions like ‘leave the past behind’ show a pattern common to languages such as Spanish and English, others, such as Aymara and Mandarine Chinese, can express the past as being in front or above the speaker, respectively. However when observing in greater detail the scope o these patterns, it is also evident that speech and gesture are components of language that do not serve the same communicative purposes. While a speaker can orally express that a future event is in front of him, he can gesturally place it on his right. In the present study, we describe gestures that are part of temporal expresions in Spanish, showing how the characterization of languages according to their different temporal-spatial frames of reference does not adequately describe the resources observed in communicative interactions. The speakers, besides some examples coming from speech and, more frequently, from writing, do not reproduce patterns like past-behind in a conversation and, instead, they locate the events or express their properties in different zones of the symbolic space according to their perception and representation: the position of their interlocutor, the relation with other symbolic positions in the space and, in general, keys of the situational context. The results of this study resonate with other works that part from a perspective according to which the conceptual representations about time and space are not unique or fixed, but multiple and emergent, sensitive to various conditions of interacive communication. A different view on gesture is proposed, one that presents its roll in language as the expression of perceptual, iconic or metaphoric information that only occasionally intersects with the linguistic codification of time.

This article, which is an outcome of an ethnographic research, aims to offer an insight into lexical and syntactic contexts of some hesitation phenomena (short fillers, repetitions, long fillers, word lengthening, unfinished words and unfinished phrases), identified in a corpus sample that consists of structured interviews conducted by a group of deputies of Mexico City Local Congress with citizens who applied for the ombudsperson’s position at the city’s Human Rights Office (Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la Ciudad de México). Drawing upon a lexical and syntactic description, some remarks on the hesitation phenomena’s linguistic and communicative values are presented. I propose an interpretation of hesitation occurrence patterns that appear in the respondent’s answers. This interpretation is based on the discursive planning level, the interaction between hesitation markers and word classes, and the concept of repertoire as it has been used in the theory of translanguaging. Towards the end of the manuscript I argue that the studied phenomena and their distribution are directly related to open class words, and the cognitive effort of producing grammatical, accurate and socially appropriate messages.
