El residencial Luis Lloréns Torres resultaba ser el “proyecto perfecto” para analizar, según el arquitecto Nando Micale. “Se sitúa entre estos dos cuerpos de agua, fue construída sobre un lecho de manglares y es el próximo proyecto a ser remodelado por la Oficina de la Vivienda”, explicó el instructor de uno de los laboratorios de diseño de la Universidad de Pensilvania.

About 1 million years ago, endemic monkeys used to live on islands of the Caribbean. What today is one of our getaway destinations -Dominican Republic and Haiti-, is also a project site for scientists who look for fossil remains, some of which lead to new territorial distributions of these species’ habitats and to the understanding of their ruling over the Hispaniola, the reason why they’ve gone extinct.
La Cumbre del Clima casi concluye. Son muchos los debates que se han realizado en París, y los que faltan por llevarse a cabo en estos once días de ejecución.
