Using Omeprazole For Horses

Architecture Hermit Crab.

reflect.

Architecture, as Art, is a manifestation of our identity, an expression of who we are in a certain place and time. If so is not anything crazy to claim that our culture is also reflected in the way we use our buildings and buildings.

The architecture is the means commonly used to create spaces 'flagship', so to speak. The State and its institutions tend to rely on architectural management to highlight in public its institutional character. So do large private corporations, the same gesture, with the same intention.

should we say, of a people that does not give such treatment to public institutions? Salvo, the Palacio de Carondelet, the National Assembly building and some other municipal building outside to capital, our organizations are installed in public spaces that were not originally created for them, but for the extinct dinosaurs of banking wasteful nineties. Reading

then, that the vast majority of ministries are located the headquarters devoid of failed banks? How to read the body responsible for protecting children make similar efforts, which used to be a lot to sell cars? (I mean INFA headquarters in Guayaquil, where facilities were previously SICOCAR Toyota).

And such questioning also works if you look in the opposite direction: Buildings covered by the Guayaquil Stock Exchange and Citibank, are now clothing stores.

... is that perhaps we are like the hermit crab looking for ANYTHING to make your shelter?

Many may claim a use of resources, and it might be a valid justification. But we should note that such use is temporary, transitional, & # 160, and start at some point to draw concrete and metal face of the country and culture we want to be.

miracles do not ask. Nor do I request an Ecuadorian Brasilia. I just think a gradual projection should own buildings for bodies are used and represent all Ecuadorians.

And please! That this gradual creation of new public buildings not repeat the abominable experience building Constituent Assembly Montecristi! National Architecture does not acquire such a name to draw on a ceramic or a poncho! A warehouse is not architecture, worse a meeting!
