Eduardo Alarcon is taking us on a trip to Nuevo Leon Mexico today to see Las Banderas – an urban sculpture designed by Fernando Gonzalez Gortazar which translates to “the flags,” serves as the gateway to San Pedro Garza Garcia and is the final piece of San Pedro’s Emblem urban intervention Eduardo shared that he passes through the sculpture almost every day which he decided to explore through a personal project “To my surprise,” he says “I discovered things you can not appreciate passing by in your car I did the shoot to showcase the scale and proportion of the structure I wanted to discover and highlight the sculptural aspects of the space and the relationship between the user and the project.” “The first day of the shoot there was an overcast sky and I was trying out a new camera that is mirrorless I didn’t hit the optimal focus in some pictures so I had to retake some of them – no biggie the next day I had some wonderful summer late afternoon light to work with and not-so-busy traffic It was a little windy but the light conditions were perfect for some good images,” he tells the greenery and mountains poking out in the distance I love the inclusion of the street signs below to give some context The shadows are great and the scene is dynamic The symmetry in this next frame is fun and almost feels like we are looking at an optical illusion I love the mountains and clouds perfectly framed by the sculpture here It’s a great testament to Eduardo’s goal of showing Las Banderas in a way that can’t be seen by car We see the shapeliness of the structure and its mix of curves and rectilinear elements Eduardo’s vignettes communicate the many details and forms found throughout the sculpture “This image was made in a mirrorless camera with a 24mm tilt shift lens and it depicts perfectly the name of the sculpture ‘Las Banderas’ (the flags),” Eduardo explains “It shows the functional and the formal aspects of the piece in a monumental scale The challenge with making the image was the backlight that was sorted out by a bracketed exposure and merging them in postproduction I also had to remove some traffic cones and objects that were in the road.” Las Banderas at dusk is an equally gorgeous scene Illuminated intentionally by practical lights as well as by the cars in the road I appreciate how Eduardo included light trails from the headlights of passing cars Many thanks to Eduardo for submitting his beautiful personal project in to us I’m so glad he took the time to explore and share this sculpture It’s a great reminder to stop and explore the architecture around you you might find a new and exciting perspective You can find Eduardo’s work on the web at www.ealarcon.com and on Instagram @ealarcon.fotoarq If you have a project you’d like to be considered for Project of the Week, you can submit it here.

Several people were killed and dozens injured. (AP Photo/Alberto Lopez) SAN PEDRO GARZA GARCIA, Mexico (AP) — The collapse of a stage in heavy winds at a campaign rally in northern Mexico has killed at least nine people, including a child, and injured 121, the governor of Nuevo Leon state said Thursday. The collapse occurred during an event Wednesday evening attended by presidential long-shot candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez, who ran to escape. Videos of the collapse on social media showed people screaming, running away and climbing out from under metal polls. The victims “will not be alone in this tragedy,” Máynez told reporters Wednesday night, adding that he had suspended upcoming campaign events. Afterward, soldiers, police and other officials roamed the grounds of the park where the event took place while many nearby sat stunned and haunted by the tragedy. In a video message, Nuevo Leon Gov. Samuel Garcia, a leading member of Máynez’s Citizens Movement party, said 94 of the injured were treated and released, but that 27 remained hospitalized. State health authorities said a lot of the injuries involved skull fractures. Garcia said several victims were undergoing surgery and some appeared to be in critical condition. Garcia said the accident occurred “in a matter of seconds.” Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said most of the injured were women. He absolved Máynez’s Citizens Movement party — widely viewed as an implicit ally of López Obrador’s Morena party — of blame even before investigations were carried out. “We know that they are not to blame,” the president said Thursday. Condolences poured in from across Mexico, including from the other two presidential candidates. Máynez wrote in his social media accounts that he went to a hospital after the accident in the wealthy suburb of San Pedro Garza Garcia, near the city of Monterrey. He said he was in good condition. “The only important thing at this point is to care for the victims of the accident,” he wrote. Videos of the accident showed Máynez waving his arm as the crowd chanted his name. But then he looked up to see a giant screen and metal structure toppling toward him. He ran rapidly toward the back of the stage to avoid the falling structure, which appeared to consist of relatively light framework pieces as well as what appeared to be a screen with the party’s logo and theater-style lights. In a Facebook post, Alejandra Gamez Escalera wrote that her father and a stepbrother, 11, died in the collapse. She said they had gone to the event to hear a band that was scheduled to play at the campaign rally. “If only you had stayed home and not gone to the event, none of this would have happened,” Gamez Escalera wrote. “My condolences and prayers with the families of the dead, and my wishes for a speedy recovery to all those injured,” wrote Gálvez in a social media post. referring to how quickly the wind picked up before the stage collapsed.Alvarez Maynez who returned to the scene of the accident after being cleared at a local hospital said he was suspending campaign activities and that he hoped authorities investigate what occurred requesting transparency in the process.Alvarez Maynez's campaign coordinator Laura Ballesteros was hospitalized with a broken foot and mayoral candidate for San Pedro Garza Garcia wrote on social media that she was coordinating with authorities to support those impacted and their families.Members of Mexico's national guard and army were on the scene to provide support Interior Minister Luisa Alcalde said on social media.Governor Garcia warned residents to stay indoors amid strong thunderstorms in the area strong winds and lightning across swathes of the county in the coming hours.Alvarez Maynez is polling in third place in Mexico's presidential election set for June 2 He is trailing far behind ruling party candidate Claudia Sheinbaum and second-place Xochitl Galvez who represents a broad opposition coalition.Galvez and Sheinbaum both offered condolences for the families of the victims in posts on social media with Sheinbaum canceling a rally planned for Thursday evening in Monterrey.Reporting by Daniel Bacerril in San Pedro Garza Garcia Kylie Madry and Sarah Morland in Mexico City; Editing by Tom Hogue and Sharon Singleton Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab Kylie Madry is a headline news reporter covering business, politics and breaking news for all of Latin America.

Bloomberg.com subscription Security forces stand around a stage that collapsed due to a gust of wind during an event attended by presidential candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez in San Pedro Garza García President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed that multiple people were killed and at least a dozen were injured Electoral signs lay on the ground as security forces secure the area after a stage collapsed due to a gust of wind during an event attended by presidential candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez in San Pedro Garza García Several people were killed and dozens injured Organizers didn’t cancel an outdoor campaign rally in a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey leaving the crowd only seconds to react when the stage structure lighting and a giant screen were blown down officials in Monterrey said the winds occurred with no warning and that nobody could have predicted them There wasn’t even a storm forecast for the city,” said Nuevo Leon state Gov Mexico’s National Weather Service had issued a bulletin at 1:13 p.m — more than six hours before the collapse — warning of gusts of wind up to 43 mph (70 kph) in the area that “could blow down trees and billboards.” Another bulletin at 6:28 p.m said outside stages are vulnerable to winds of as little as 35 mph (56 kph) He said radar and other observations suggest the winds at the Monterrey venue probably reached around 50 mph (80 kph) Wednesday noting high winds “create special safety risks to elevated stages.” “This is the type of situation that should not have been a surprise because these super thunderstorms were approaching and these kinds of thunderstorms are well known to produce gusty winds,” Porter said “This is another tragic disaster that could have been averted by improved severe weather risk mitigation and situational awareness,” Porter said the venue can be proactively evacuated and people moved to safe shelter prior to the arrival of gusty winds.” Porter said his company had been sending special alerts to businesses in the area who subscribe to AccuWeather’s service 35 minutes before the winds arrived in the area The Citizens Movement party that organized the rally did not immediately respond to questions about why they did not cancel the event or evacuate the crowd beforehand any hopes the Mexican government might learn from the event were crushed on Thursday when President Andrés Manuel López Obrador — who is a political ally of the Citizens Movement party — absolved them of any blame even before an investigation was carried out “We know that they are not to blame,” the president said Thursday they were holding a rally during the campaign.” “People saw very vividly how quickly something can go wrong and how lives can be taken in a matter of seconds.” the U.S.-based Event Safety Alliance industry trade group was formed to help prevent such tragedies the vice president of Event Safety Alliance was that people who are running an outdoor event have to pay better attention to meteorology Adelman said the best practice if a storm is approaching — if there is time — is to lower heavy objects like speakers and screens down from the stage because they can contribute to strains on the structure But the primary step is to get people away from the stage “You may not be able to protect the structure It is not clear if Mexican officials have yet learned

for him to decide to [ask us] to come to help the condition of the police force,” he added Treviño thanked the state government for its prompt response He said his request followed a preliminary analysis of the municipal police force carried out in the months since he was sworn in as mayor at the end of October allowed us “to arrive at the conclusion that it was pertinent to ask the state [government] to support us in checking that the entire force is clean.” who won last year’s election as an independent candidate said the decision to ask for assistance wasn’t related to incidents of violence in recent days Nuevo León Public Security Secretary Aldo Fasci Zuazua said the army will also collaborate with state police to carry out security duties in San Pedro Garza García while the confidence tests are applied former mayor Mauricio Fernández Garza defended the performance of the municipal police force during his three-year administration from 2015 to 2018 He said that in October, the month he left office, San Pedro Garza García was ranked by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) as having the lowest perception of insecurity among residents of all municipalities in Mexico The effort of the major [former San Pedro security secretary Antonio Lucas Martínez] in controlling the [municipal] force and in coordinating with the military was extraordinary He was recognized by civil associations for the extraordinary results,” Fernández said feel and believe” about security in the municipality gave San Pedro Garza García the best security perception results in Mexico’s history In addition to being the country’s wealthiest municipality with a per-capita GDP of more than US $25,000, San Pedro Garza García was last year deemed Mexico’s most livable city in a survey conducted by polling firm Gabinete de Comunicación Estratégica Source: Milenio (sp)  We use cookies to analyze user behavior in order to constantly improve the website for you.

Text description provided by the architects. Makerspace can be found at UDEM high school (San Pedro campus). Usually, these types of buildings consist of a collaborative environment where students have access to resources, knowledge, tools, and materials that are shared to work on their projects. It’s a space for designing, creating, and modifying objects. We seek to achieve a transparent building that allows a view of its interior. The goal is to show the whole process, from learning to use each tool, conceptualizing parts, and materializing them.

For a time, Treviño’s administration completely halted the project, until Fernández Garza offered up sections of his mansion for use in the museum replica, including four ceilings from the 14th and 16th centuries that Fernández Garza claims are worth $50m. “The discussion ended when we donated the ceilings, it was no longer a project to build something for my pieces, it is municipal heritage, I have no interest in using the municipality’s money for something of my own,” Fernández Garza told the AP. threatening the long-term survival of the country’s publicly funded museums and heritage sites news1 November 2018Mexico’s presidential palace could become one of the world’s largest museumsBut some experts question whether another art space is necessary news21 December 2018What happened to all the art in Mexico’s presidential palace?
