VIII Foro de Arquitectura: Ciudadano Arquitecto

Chapter Event posted by Bernardo.Maldonado on April 16, 2011

Arquitectura para la Humanidad Monterrey impartirá una conferencia en el Foro de Arquitectura del Tec de Monterrey. Brief del Foro "El tema de este año es cómo el Arquitecto puede aportar a la sociedad cumpliendo con su compromiso ciudadano de diseñar espacios que motiven a la convivencia de la comunidad. ¿Es la Arquitectura una herramienta para el desarrollo social? ¿La falta de espacios públicos ha provocada la desigualdad, indiferencia e inseguridad actuales? Éstas y otras preguntas, nos hacemos los estudiantes en el marco de una sociedad que carece de participación ciudadana.

Hurricane Alex: Summary of damages for Monterrey

Update posted by Bernardo.Maldonado on July 13, 2010

Hurricane Alex dropped 616mm of rain in 60 hours taking 15 lives. Early damage calculations estimate $800-$1,000 Million USD for reconstruction of main infrastructure, not including housing. This numbers will easily go up 2 or 3 times for Nuevo Leon. The other two states adjacent to NL affected were Coahuila and Tamaulipas that together probably sum another $2 billion.
