Bow And Arrow Red Balloons

Alvaro Valverde / 3

here

Vicente Valero

're sitting alone in front of the valley
with a book in their hands to abandon at times

to watch, with the calm
due, as
the eye can see. Sounds
silence. Sometimes the rumor

branches or a bird singing intermittently.
breathe deeply. Ves. You appreciate
one at a time
that gives you this live apart. Do not yours

complaint of those who want to go
but always postponed
the occasion of his flight. You stay here

own accord:
This is your place. You are
him.

Δ

the lone oak

is on a hill
surrounding rocks, brooms, land where the tree roots

and it seems hardly defensible.
I showed my father when the boy was walking with him
between fields. Since

retain its presence with the need that hard.
From the top, watch the city.
distinction is the first thing to come back.
last thing
look when I leave the walls of this microcosm.
is more than an ancient oak.
Alone in height, quiet, is figure
of life to which he aspires who resists.


Δ

inner life

Antonio Moreno

My life is interior.
live in, there
to that which is hidden
dark.
Through
eyes light enters and stays empty

penumbra where time is displayed
opaque, inscrutable.
Alone and silent

I stop to contemplate what happens to me. In one corner
narrow
cloister-like,
where sings a source
visiting birds. From that site
hear
life
far I gone forever.

Samples Of Yearly Evaluations

Hosting services IPD concept

Avanzo an interesting concept for those who share the concern of the general low productivity in the construction sector, the near absence of R + D + i in that sector, and the finding of minimal changes in working methods in recent 15.
The concept IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) is born by the finding of lost productivity in the construction sector mainly from the 60 and 70. In brief states that this decline has affected productivity for end users: 1 .- delays in delivery of projects; 2 .- on-cost with respect to the initial budgets; 3 .- bad relations between actors the project (owner, architect, general constractor).
The IPD was born in mid-late 90's, and is based on ideas developed from the design and production methods of Toyota, and aimed at obtaining value for end users in an environment win-win partnership, where the participant's main objective is the successful completion of the project. Logically there must be a new contractual arrangements to enable the successful completion of project impact on the form of bonuses for different players, depending on your input.
The first working group established in 2007 the IPD Definition Task Group
While the project delivery process Design-Build General Contractor located in the leading role of the project, the IPD represents a return to the concept ' Master Builder 'with the proviso that this' master builder' is a team that consists of the client, the designer, General Contractor, major manufacturers and subcontractors working in a collaborative environment during the construction process.
We are facing a Utopia? Hard to imagine such an approach applied in the European context, where the designer wishes to participate as little as possible in the construction phase, to avoid incurring higher costs, and the General Constructor generation needs to recover casualties Additional reckless. P ut USA is clearly betting on these new trends, and the administration is being exerted by the locomotive, forcing designers and builders to work according to these methods in some public buildings.
enclose a couple of images that document alone grounds:



This figure illustrates that the greatest volume of information and work (effort) in a traditional approach is generated in a phase where the cost of design changes are higher, and lower the possibility of influencing the value of the project, which is corrected with an approach based on IPD.

tasks to avoid conflicts in the construction phase.
It goes without saying the advantages of BIM in the IPD process. ******
I advance an interesting concept for Those Who share the concern 'about low productivity in construction sector, the  absence of R+D in that sector and the establishment of minimum changes in methods of work in the past 15 years.
The concept IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) is born by the finding of lost productivity in the construction sector mainly from the '60s and '70s up to now.  In brief  this low productivity creates to the final customer: 1 .- delays in delivery of projects; 2 .- over-cost compared to the initial budgets; 3 .- bad relations between project stakeholders (owner  , architect, general constractor).

The IPD was born in mid-late 90s, and is based on ideas developed from the design and production methods of Toyota, and aimed at obtaining value for end users in a collaborative win-win environment  , where the main objective of participants pursue the successful completion of the project.  Logically there must be a new contractual arrangements to enable the successful completion of project impact on the form of bonuses for different players, depending on your input.
The first working group established in 2007 the IPD Task Group Definition.  While the project delivery process Design-Build, the General Contractor has the  leading role of the project, the IPD represents a return to the concept 'Master Builder' having in mind that this 'master builder' is a team including  the client, the designer, General Contractor, major manufacturers and subcontractors, working in a collaborative environment during the construction process.
We are facing an ' Utopia' ?  Hard to imagine such approach applied in the European context, where the designer wishes to participate as little as possible in the construction phase, to avoid incurring higher costs, and the General Constructor needs to generate additional over-charges in order to recover deep discounts during tendering.  But USA is clearly betting on these new trends, and the administration is being exerted by the locomotive, forcing designers and builders to work according to these methods in some public buildings.
