“Christopher Alexander is professor in the Graduate School and Emeritus Professor of Archtecture at the University of California, Berkleley. He is the father of the Pattern Language movement in computer science, and A Pattern Language, a seminal work that was perhaps the first complete book ever written in hypertext fashion.

He has designed and built more than two hundred buildings on five continents: many of these buildings lay the ground work of a new form of architecture, which looks far into the future, yet has roots in ancient traditions. Much of his work has been based on inventions in technology, including, especially, inventions in concrete, shell design, and contracting procedures needed to attain a living architecture. He was the founder of the Center for Environmental Structure in 1967, and remains President of that Company until today. In 2000, he founded PatternLanguage.com, and is Chairman of the Board. He has been a consultant to city, county, and national governments on every continent, has advised corporations, government agencies, and architects and planners throughout the world. Alexander was elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996, is a fellow of the Swedish Royal Society, has been the recipient of innumerable architectural prizes and honors including the gold medal for research of the American Institute of Architects, awarded in 1970. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1936. He was raised in England, and holds a Master’s Degree in Mathematics and a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Cambridge University, and a PhD in Architecture from Harvard University. In 1958 he moved to the United States, and has lived in Berkeley, California from 1963 until the present. “

This is a English Science Project.

This quotation, by Paracelse, was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something showing how grateful we have to be with the nature, why it doesn’t diserve to be treated like that. The nature it’s a very precious gift we receive and we have to take care of it like anybody or anything you love.

This photo was taken in Campos do Jordão, on a trip with my friends.

If I were in New Orleans, I would visit a lot of things:

- The New Orleans Museum of Art: in early 1910, Isaac Delgado offered $150,000 to build in City Park a ”temple of art for rich and poor alike”. When he died, he left an art collection of a aunt. I would like to visit it because I love art, and this build seams to be very beautiful. Click here to read more about it. 

- The New Orleans Ballet Association: this association was founded in 1969. Dancing is my passion, so I would go there to watch presentations because it’s a renowned company. Click here to read more about it. 

- The French Quarter: it’s the most famous and oldest neighborhood of New Orleans. There is a lot of beautiful and cute houses, that`s what makes me want to visit it. Click here to read more about it.

What can I say about music???

Well, I very eclectic, I like all kind of music. My liking varies from classical music to rock and roll, pop, hip hop, …
I’m attracted by the whole music but what mainly catch me is the melody.
There is nothing more pleasant that listen to music, and feel the beat running throw your body or any other sensation.  
My favorite singer is Michael Jackson. I really admire all his work : he has a beautiful voice, he’s a great composer, he’s a wonderful dancer, he’s just a perfect artist and a very good person. He has been my “music” during my whole life.

I really enjoy scary movie, especially when I see it with my friends. But I am a real fearfull person.

But I think that sometimes, the people don’t give importance to the brutality we see in horror movie. Some people like to watch it because they think this is funny and sometimes they even laugh during a shoking scene.

The movie Saw (I, II and III), was a big succes. I haven’t watch it yet, but I know that it is very scary and disgusting.

 From Ashley’s blog

I saw a post on Ashley’s blog where she talks about teenagers who smoke. Well, I would like to say that I agree with her. It’s seams to me that a big portion of teenagers don’t bother about the bad consenquences of smoking. Most of them beging to smoke cigarettes just for fun or under influence of the others, and then they can’t stop it. Indeed these consequences on one’s health appears much later.

On an other hand, the smoke is not pleasent for the ones who don’t smoke and it’s also bad for their health. Although there are campains against the ecxess of smoking, even on the cigarettes packing wich show shocking images, what upsets me is that the smokers don’t seam to pay attention to that. I might be wrong, but it is my impression.

I’m not juging anything or anybody and I know that it’s not easy to stop when you become dependant, but it’s hard to accept that such a little thing can make so much damages to human been.

I love to draw. For me, drawing it’s not only a passtime but it’s also a passion. Since I’m a child I like to draw. It’s awsome to let your imagination go on a piece of paper. I just don’t know how to explain my feeling about that.

Pantanal, originally uploaded by Ste Jackson.

I love this picture. I took it during my traveling to the Pantanal. It’s incredible how beautiful the earth can be, it’s a pity that the man is gradually destroying the wonderful natural landscapes of the world. It’s a little bit scary because it’s difficult to imagine that we are losing little by little all these precious things God gave us. I hope that something will be done to stop the selfishness of the human that only cares about what he wants.
