I have a several hobbies that i do in me free time, but the most that i practice and my favorite is an alternative sport called skateboarding, this sport is my favorite beacuse helps me to relax and clear myself of the problems that i may have in certain moments of my life. The first time that i stand up in a skateboard was at the age of 10, beacuse my best friend called Damian had two skateboards and told me if want to try, i said yes and after 30 seconds i had already fallen in the ground, after that time i dont stand up in a skateboard until i was 13 years old and i did not gett of my board until today. The things that make me love this sport are several, like the variety of trick that you can do with yourd board, sush a flatground trick , slides and grinds in rails and ledges, etc, another thing that i love of the skate is that the perseverance is so important, beacuse you always fall in the ground trying a trick , but you shuold always stand up on your feet and keep trying.

Blog Post # 7: Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry  Is an architect born in Canada in 1929, settled in the United States, winner of the Pritzker Prize, recognized by the innovative and peculiar forms of the buildings he designs, h e developed his own architectural style that was gaining international recognition. Gehry's architecture is striking, often made with unfinished materials. In the same building he incorporates several simple geometric forms, which create a visual harmony between them, one of his most recognized works are the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the skyscraper 8 Spruce Street in New York and the Dancing House in Prague. I like Frank Gehry because he is one of the contemporary architects who considers that architecture is an art, in the sense that once finished a building, this must be considered a work of art, which is reflected in the way in which Gehry realizes his architecture because his work really looks like an sculptures.
