Se gostaram do filme HOME de Yann Arthus-Bertrand não devem perder a sua apresentação no TED Talks.
Fazendo a exposição de algumas das mais graves crises ambientais do planeta – o fim da economia do petróleo, o aquecimento global, o degelo do Ártico, a escassez de água, a fome - Arthus-Bertrand refere que “não queremos acreditar naquilo que sabemos”. Com a sabedoria de uma verdade tão simples somos confrontados com a cultura de negação que teima em persistir na sociedade e no tempo em que vivemos.
Destaque inevitável para o seu projecto intitulado 6 billion Others, um retrato global da humanidade contemporânea feito de depoimentos em primeiro plano de cidadãos de todo o mundo sobre temas universais.
Num tempo por vezes dominado pelo ruído mediático e a profusão da imagem, eis um trabalho que nos convida a “ouvir o outro” no mais profundo sentido do termo. Simplesmente extraordinário.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand, creator of the movie HOME, delivers an outstanding presentation on TED Talks.
Presenting some of the direst crisis of our planet – the end of the oil economy, global warming, shortage of water, famine – Arthus-Bertrand states that “we don’t want to believe what we know”. With the wisdom of such simple truth we are confronted with the culture of denial that persists throughout our society.
He also presents his latest project titled 6 billion Others, a portrayal of the contemporary mankind composed by statements of citizens from every corner of the world about universal issues.
In our age, often dominated by a profusion of images and media noise, here is a work that invites us to “listen to the other” in the most profound sense. Simply amazing.

Um Filme extraordinário, de consciencialização dos problemas que vivemos e queremos negar. Estranhamente sem comentários.

I have no words to translate what i felt watching this extraordinary movie, its a mix of inumerous feelings, but one thing is certain we are a way behind any other living being in this planet!! And as the author concludes, the good news is that we together can change it all!!!

The architecture blog A Barriga de um Arquitecto / The Belly of an Architect (written in bilingual Portuguese-English) is mainly focused on contemporary architecture and urban design, covering recent works from Portuguese architects as well as projects of international significance.

My name is Daniel Carrapa. I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1973. I’m an architect living in Évora, a nice historical town that was included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1986. I’m married, have 4 cats – Matilde, Patanisco, Olivia, Lisa – and 1 dog – Moby. Moby is a three-legged dog. He’s okay. I graduated as an architect in 1996 (FAUTL Lisbon Faculty of Architecture). I am also an authority on cat litter and will provide expert advice upon request.

Feel free to drop me a line to abarrigadeumarquitecto@gmail.com or meet me on Google+. I'm also registered on Twitter and Facebook but I don't use them as much.
