Here in Higashiomi, there is a deserted shop, well, there are a lot but, i was fascinated with this one.
I was driving in my car when i saw it, i stopped the car and took some pics to illustrate. This shop or house, have a clear intention of composity, about 2 triangles and 1 rectangle, and was thinked to take the sun of the afternoon and protect it for the sun of the mid day.

Well, it is very interensting to find this tipology of building here in Japan in a rustic area. In the back is a bit different, with a bit os mess, but is very normal, all the beauty goes to the front of the building that you can see from the road, by car or walking, and in the back, have plus of things added after like stairs, etc.

This building appear to was a lot of uses like gym, or cafe shop. But actually is deserted and have signs of damage in the roof, and walls.

THANKS
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.“
~Mark Twain
This phrase i like. And im trying to start something.
At first please, sorry about my English, is not as good as i desire but im going to try to write in English and Spanish, my mother lenguaje, and slowly something in Japanese.
Im living just now in Japan, and i tryed to make a blog before but at final was very dificult for me find interesting contents. Really just now im no longer interested in contents, im only interested in make my blog like a travel diary.
Try to blog little and big things, trivial or interesting contents… but ill try to blog every day something or something like that.
Usually the things that are focused to a very especific area are supported for a minority, in this blog, the focus is the Architecture in all the points, social, stetic, process, etc . Really doesnt matter if i write correct or not, if im wrong or not, ill learn about it, ill always skill up, but doing nothing sure im not going to.
So ,critics and responses always are welcome.
Like Daft Punk sings, one more time, Thanks
