Within the framework of the VII Congress Interacional architecture organized by the University of Navarra, I had the opportunity today to attend a conference architect and historian Beatriz Colomina . The conference focused on the theme of travel in the transition from architecture to modernity, specifically, architects travel to or from Spain.
Colomina has the last lecture of the conference and talked about the figure of Le Corbusier as the first global architect. Although many architects and made trips had work in many places throughout the twentieth century , one could say that none had as extensive a work around the world, and none was so fascinated with transportation and the trip itself as the famous architect Switzerland.
Amid colorful anecdotes of the character of Le Corbusier as being brilliant, eccentric and media , Colomina has reflected on the role of modern man as being "post-human" an animal capable of flying and manage time and space at breakneck speeds . A being with a deep connection capacity. At the end of his lecture, Colomina has tied the revolutionary practices of the architect and his desire to travel to the offices modern transnational days, that having offices in New York and China working almost 24 / 7.
The hypermobility of the second half of the twentieth as a symptom of a global society may look now replaced by a hyper . The means of communication in general and specific internet today allow days is not necessary to travel to establish a communication .
