I want to tell you about Lina Bo Bardi, she was a architect from Italy. She was born in 1914 in Rome and died in 1992. At the beginning she studied in Rome in the 30's, where she installed her office of architecture in the context of the II World War, with this she had few works and disappointed of this, she moves to Brazil with her husband, an art collector called Pietro Maria Bardi. There in Sao Paulo they installed a collection of popular art that was dialogue of the Modern and the Popular. She liked people, so she wanted to make spaces for them, an unfinished space that was activated by common use every day. In 1950 he made his own house, "Glass house", a project that is used as a reference and today can be visited as a museum. In 1957 she realized the project MASP (Museum of arts Sao Paulo) And in 1977 he achieved the cusp with his best work, the SESC Pompeia, using a factory of barrels existing. I like Lina because she it is consistent with Brazil's cult

This photo is very special, it was taken when I was 2 or 3 years old, it's funny because when I share this photo with someone, they do not believe me about my curly hair when I was a child, probably because they always remind me with short hair. The photo is from the Christmas period, I really like this month, not because of the Christmas itself, I like because this month we go south to visit my father's family in Los Angeles (VII region) where we all gather to share and spend time together. In these days I missed those meetings because I can not always go and my cousins too. From the family of my father we are the only that lives in Santiago, so when we go my uncle "moncho" does a insane roast where we all laugh and remember times like this photo.
