"A folk song is what's wrong and how to fix it; or it could be who's hungry and where their mouth is, or who's out of work and where the job is, or who's broke and where the money is, or who's carrying a gun and where the peace is." (Woody Guthrie)

ParaDós de Mayo, Bilbao.

La propuesta ParaDósdeMayo investiga la posibilidad de un sistema para uso público de TODOS los ciudadanos de Bilbao. Para esto, el Sistema ParaDós estudia la versatilidad de la estructura y la flexibilidad de su ubicación. La estructura se inspira en la idea del paraguas. Evoca la libertad de cada individuo de poseer un complemento doméstico móvil para resguardarse de la lluvia, tan cotidiana en Bilbao. Esta estructura se enclava en la propia infraestructura de la calle con la disposición de una nueva pieza de pavimento, la baldosa tipo ParaDósBilbao. Esta pieza tiene el mismo acabado y modulación que la simbólica baldosa tipo Bilbao (roseta) y por lo tanto, se puede instalar en cualquier zona peatonal pavimentada de la capital vizcaína. Esta posibilidad favorece la ocupación de la "Ciudad Pública" para fomentar la programación e intercambio de eventos culturales en distintas áreas de Bilbao. (collaborative design proposal with Berta Lazaro Corcuera)

Dear Peace,

"And--the rifle? Wouldn't go out naked of a rifle. When shoes and clothes and food, when even hope is gone, we'll have the rifle. When grampa came--did i tell you?--he had pepper and salt and a rifle. Nothing else. That goes. And a bottle for water. That just about fills us. Right up the sides of the trailer, and the kids can set in the trailer, and granma on a mattress. Tools, a shovel and saw and wrench and pliers. An ax, too. We had that ax forty years. Look how she's wore down. And ropes, of course. The rest? Leave it--or burn it up." (The Grapes of Wrath)
