Santiago

I don’t like Santiago now, I live here all my life but now, there are so much people here and the smell of Santiago changes over the years. All my family come from Trif trif ko (close to Temuco) and I go frequently there. I think that Santiago smells of ass. Always, when I arrive to Santiago feel that smell and makes me feel nauseas. I live in the periphery of Santiago (west side) and all places are far away from me and is dangerous and ugly. The center of Santiago is less ugly but smell worst, it is like a mixture between ass and urine and is more dangerous. Close to my house they never steal from me, but in the center yes, and the people through the years have become more aggressive.  I can’t be in peace here.

The things that I like to Santiago are that have signal, maybe. And I like Ñuñoa because have houses to the age of 50 with the Streamline style.

I don’t know if I would change some about this city. I think that is necessary a biggest change. Like the country be less centralized, almost half of the residents in Chile live in Santiago because of the centralization. And maybe more security and that the money doesn’t have only the east side.

If someone visit Santiago must to be careful with their things because here steals so much. The east side of Santiago is more beautiful and have more parks (beautiful parks) It should to go to those parks.

Sorry if this is so negative :( but I really don’t like this city :( I want to live in the South of Chile not here :(

Bye! 

My presentation

In my presentation I will talk you about Chilean design between 1968-1971.

First I will explain you the global context and the local context. 

In the global context I will talk you about the Styling, an economic model, the postmodernism, a cultural movement that born like an answer to Bauhaus and the creation of the Ulm university. And then in the Chilean context I will talk to you about the CORFO creation in the government of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, the government of Salvador Allende, who invested a lot of money for the Chilean industry, and how the Chilean design changed with the military coup in 1973.

And then I will talk to you about the characteristic of Chilean design, how the characteristics were thought for the popular public and the biggest influencer was Gui Bonsiepe.

Gui Bonsiepe is a German, was born in 1934 and is an industrial designer, theorist and teacher of design. He studied in Ulm University and then was a teacher there. He produced a big impact in Latin America and he came to Chile in 1968 and was hired by the OIT for work like asesor in SERCOTEC.

I think I’m going to talk about less things because this is so much for 3-4 minutes.

That's all, bye!
