Bittersweet, but less sweet. M. A. Carretero.
As reported on inside
pages, last October 15 at
the MAVA opened the
exhibition "Three Centuries
of Sculpture".
An exhibition of works in
bronze, basically, and they
are commemorating the
first 120 years of existence
of the Codina Foundry, a
prestigious casting
workshop based art works
in Madrid.
But there are also
sculptures in plaster, resin,
steel, stone, clay and
fiberglass.
Also, a large group of
bronze platelets appear to
have a great value for the
Foundry is exposed.
Complete the exhibition a
number of photographs that
reflect different moments in
the life of the workshop.
Among the firms that have
made the exhibited works
are those of Benlliure (at
the luxurious catalog figure
this illustrious name in
lowercase), John
Christopher (a native, like
my father, the beautiful
village of Ohanes in
Alpujarra), Victorio Macho
Cesar Manrique, Oteiza
and Auguste Rodin. The
other 48 artists complete
the collection.
This is, say, the sweet taste
of the event.
But behind a sour sour taste,
the occasion of this "magna"
exhibition.
First, I wonder what makes
this exhibition at the
Museum of Art Glass
Alcorcon?
Yes, of course, clear that it is
a unique opportunity to
present these wonderful
works in the town of
Alcorcon, missing more.
But in this place? Why?
Elaborating on the issue of
disturbing causes, expose a
few words said, as volapié,
the Deputy Mayor and
Councillor for the Arts in our
Municipal Corporation, as
well as President of the
Spanish Association of
Painters and Sculptors
during the presentation this
exhibition. He said he will try
to get there in a Museum
Sculpture Alcorcón.
What are to him the glass
sculptures preserved in the
MAVA? A hobby?
Something is broken?
But the background is not
your subconscious despise
the glass and you put those
traps on the road, what is
important and unfortunate to
think of replacing the glass
sculptures made by the
other, which he did that
values.
Another important indication
that increases the sour taste
of the event is that our
Mayor, in the Presentation
which includes the
aforementioned lavish
exhibition catalog, uses the
term "Castle Valdez
Municipal Museum of
Alcorcon".
He forgets that the name of
the museum is the Art Glass
Alcorcon.
¿Errata produced by a slight
oversight? So little respect
he deserves our museum
that gives you just call one
way or another?
Irrelevant to mention so wise
phrase "the scalded cat flees
to the cold water."
And irrelevant because they
remind regular readers in the
editorial of some of the
previous newsletters I
denounced the inexplicable
assignment by the
government team of our
present Municipal
Corporation to Madrid for
most of the top floor of the
Museum installation, initially,
of a Family Meeting Point
and, thanks to the refusal of
the professionals in the
multidisciplinary team of the
new center, he stayed only a
Family Counseling.
That is because it has
managed to make the "clip"
that you can go to our dear
acogotando Glass Art
Museum: it was begun by
the top floor and has
continued through the
basement and ground floor.
Maybe despite all these
speculations and
disquisitions is reached not
jeopardize the existence of
the precious collection of
glass sculptures that form
the collection of MAVA, but
"who Forewarned is
forearmed."

Mari Meszaros graduated
in 1978 at the Art
Academy in Budapest.
To finance his studies he
worked in a glass factory,
cutting vases.
It was there that he met
the glass, learned some
of their techniques and
explored its possibilities
as an artistic material.
In the early 80s he
moved to live in Holland,
called by the firm Van
Tetterode Voorthuizen to
work as a designer in a
workshop production of
architectural glass.
Completed technical
training, end up defining
your own way of working
glass: the flat sheet, the
transparent top and later
colored, cast in the mold.
In fact, it seems that his
works are not round but
reliefs front lump, always
in need of a metal
support that threading
and allow them to
present fragments of a
whole: a cut-face, a
hand, a leg ...
Meszaros sculptures
always start the human
body as a communication
vehicle.
The form is not submitted
complete addiction but
fragments that fail to
complete.
His work is thus a
figurative, but with a great
conceptual load.
Among the unique and
the generic raises more
intimate traces of its
models-of which extracts
the mold directly- skin,
scars, wrinkles, hair ... a
universal category, while
their bodies and faces
represent the paradigm of
human beings and their
ability to deliver
messages to their
attitudes: tenderness,
love, reflection,
research ...
"The incompleteness of
reality affects me more
than created his vision.
The fragment containing
the 'totality' impresses me
more than the whole
itself. "
His work is full of lyricism
and poetry.
The evocative power of
gesture takes us to life
situations, in the past,
sometimes remote.
The play "Frozen in Time
XII" which belongs to the
series of the same name,
was donated by the artist
after the MAVA temporary
exhibition dedicated to
him in 2003 and was titled
Mari Meszaros.

His recreation of this technique soon led to air entrapment precision integers 0 through 9, and then the entire alphabet in enclosed areas.
This technique was so intriguing that was included in 1994 in the New Glass Review for innovation in design.
This also drew the attention of Mr. Yukou Morito, a Japanese businessman Mark came to visit several times, and has included a wide variety of works of Mark in the Sphere Museum in Tokyo.
One of the most exciting discoveries of Matthews found in animal skin. Having had the idea in the 80s, it was not until the early 90s when he made his first animal fur when a friend hooked up with some real tiger and leopard skins.
The skins were photographed and reproduced in black and white. These images were then transferred to the masking material.
Mark made cylindrical spaces with specifically placed layers of colored glass. Then sand is reheated and covered with a layer of transparent glass, then making two or three areas.
One only has to look at the white spaces and stripes or spots graduated brilliantly for excellence in execution.
In 1995 some examples of tiger and leopard skin were included in the permanent collection of the prestigious collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Mark Matthews is especially recognized for his work on the glass spheres.
Work with one assistant and each piece is meticulously crafted and signed by the artist.
Highly valued the work of Matthews has been published in many books and exhibited in museums such as the Victoria & Albert in London, the Corning Museum in New York, the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC
In 1985, Mark was invited to open a business of glass within the Sauder Village. It was here where he began making glass beads (or marbles).
He soon discovered that the area was a perfect way to explore radically different color systems and techniques of historical glass.
He quickly became obsessed with marbles. His design inspirations come from many places.
Some designs come from the study of ancient marbles; Most designs are drawn from historical glass techniques that had never been used in a format marble.
Result of this effort came some amazing results and discoveries.
The "Ice Blue Air Numbers" collection was inspired by a paperweight made in the 1950s.

The glass (II).
Inputs for manufacturing the glass powder prepared as to be heated beyond its melting point to about 1700 ° C to be dissolved in water, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric fluorine, forming a layer of silica in combination with oxygen preventing the reaction from proceeding.
When the cooling process is made suddenly, the silicon and oxygen atoms are bound, forming a tetrahedron pyramid, and in turn these molecules bind to silicon atoms, calcium, sodium and other elements via heat phonons forming an irregular molecular network preventing crystals from forming.
The glass does not have a clear transition between solid and liquid point, but reaches a steady state "crystalline solid".
At 1450 ° C, the melt behaves as a low liquid honey-like called "vitreous silica" viscosity as the temperature decreases and the material becomes pasty.
The glass has a temperature of freezing.
The colder you are, the stiffer it will be through stable
viscosity increases until finally it becomes solid.
Ordinary glass for molding a temperature of 1200 ° C is required.
In solids, the molecules are organized clearly impervious to particles waves by reflecting light by absorbing, scattering them or a combination of the three.
As the substance joints weaken, gaps occur or gaps which allow light portions "break through".
Metals reflect most of the light that has free electrons.
The absorption spectrum of photons of light from a material depends on the atomic structure of the material.
An atom absorbs defined and discrete frequencies, while a molecule to contain higher energy levels than an atom can absorb a larger range of light photons.
The glass appears transparent because it has a disordered molecular organization and has no free electrons (most are oxides) which makes it an electric and insulating heat
insulating material, as when heated suddenly surface expands or contracts before inside, causing cracking and cracks.
The electron from a molecule only absorb photons glass containing enough energy to energize (in the ultraviolet range of less than 400 nanometers) and ignore the weaker energy photons of visible light (between 400 and 700 nanometers) that will not be absorbed or reflected by electrons but slightly "phonons" in molecular glass that refract light junctions, absorb little energy and allow you to take up the photons interact with another object.
Photon absorption silicon oxide Si-O is low, but as other elements are added increases their potential for absorption.
If the glass contains pigments molecule by the presence of certain elements, then it can absorb certain colors of the visible spectrum and transmit others, so that photons of light will be colored according to the spectrum of light absorbed.

After hard times for much of the glass industry, there are now clear signs of positive market developments.
This was the clear message from the surveys of 1,217 exhibitors at Glasstec 2014.
The nearly 43,000 trade visitors are also state very satisfied with their experience.
Glasstec 2014 convinced the specialists from the fields of mechanical engineering, glass manufacturing, processing and finishing, crafts, architecture and construction, as well as glazed facades and solar sector: over 96% of the visitors are given a rating positive overall.
40% of visitors came to the event with specific intent to invest, which will generate positive impulses for exhibitors during the coming months.
The average proportion of assistants and senior management improved again. More than three quarters of the visitors came from these levels.
The proportion of visitors who have come to Düsseldorf from abroad reached about 60% and this figure remains unmatched in the industry worldwide.
Martin Gutmann, president of the Federal Glasstec 2014 Guids Master says:
I am satisfied with the abundance of positive signs in Glasstec 2014, especially in the field of mechanical engineering and the glass industry. The German expert glaziers trade is currently very good. Our ranges of glasstec in the Craft Centre, with its new glass processing and finishing sand and seasons of participation in the new area Handwerk Live also

Another highlight was the display glass used in alternative areas of application and ultra-thin glass "from the roll" for electronic applications.
Other audience magnets were numerous models of facades, for example, with special geometries, fascinating optical effects or exceptional insulation properties, for example, using 4-layer insulating glass.
The GTL was accompanied by a top-notch offering a specialist symposium - within the exhibition area GTL - a variety of conferences on subjects changing newspapers that were chosen greedily by visitors.
The conference "Solar meets Glass", "Engineered Transparency" and "Architecture Congress" were crowded events.
At the open house to experts, prior to opening day Gasstec also gathered a large group of professionals in the solar industry and glass, which are interconnected together to discuss issues.
With 80 participants, the two-day conference was welcomed, given the profound crisis in the solar sector.
The Engineered Transparency conference attracted over 200 participants from 23 countries to shed light on the latest developments in the field of structural glass engineering.
The Architecture Congress which took place on Wednesday closed the show successful recording up to 280 participants.
The next Glasstec be held in Düsseldorf in line with its cycle of two years from 20 to 23 September 2016.
went very well. Along with the established themes Autoglass Arena and glass art, we offer a unique program for all segments of the skilled trades and are very pleased with how the show developed. "
"The most important thing for us as organizers Glasstec? no doubt that our customers are happy because this is the basis for a positive and sustainable growth for the event to benefit everyone involved. Once again, we meet this goal in 2014, so again we have confirmed the role of glasstec as the most important international meeting point of the world with a clear barometer effect for the entire industry "says Hans Werner Reinhard, CEO Messe Düsseldorf.
The comprehensive support program Glasstec expanded further this year, also with visitors.
In particular, the special show "glass technology live" (GTL) held in Hall 11, organized by Professor Stefan Behling and his team from the Institute of Building Construction at the University of Stuttgart, was once again a show there to do for many visitors.
With the motto Intelligent Glass, glass products of the future and were exhibited at Glasstec 2014.
The results of the visitor survey confirm the selection of exhibits displayed in GTL: according to experts, glass screens, technical applications, glass printing, coating and fine glass are the main issues for next three to five years.
A particular point of attraction in the special show a glass panel was 3.20mx 14m in which a ceramic digital printing process was performed.

The rehabilitation of the covers of the National Glass Centre (CNV) of San Ildefonso will be completed for the month of December.
Sources in the School of Industrial Organization (EOI), which manages the Royal Glass Factory, explained that the intervention covers progressing well, according to the planned project.
Thus, they claim that "you are making a considerable effort, especially these days, to advance all possible work in these last days of good weather before you take over the winter and can hinder your progress."
The main objective of this work is to restore the waterproofing of the roof of the building that are in poor condition, basically replacing covers West Wing, East Wing and ship Woodshed, and improving the South module.
The performance has a budget of 1.8 million euros and a lead time of six months, "so if there are no unexpected problems and climatology respects us, we hope to finish by the end of the year" note from the EOI.
The works will be funded by Heritage, since the ownership of the building became a state because their maintenance was costly for the Foundation of the National Glass Centre, which since June 2013 is held by the School of Industrial Organization.
In addition to replacing the covers fashion, they are also undertaking refurbishment works
in the so-called Patio de Carlos III, which will remove the glass panels of the existing metal structure, waterproof side decks, and proceed to closing of the arches of the courtyard.
All these actions, first planned to modernize an outdated both organizational and administrative level building, are aimed at the conversion of the museum.
Although the closure of some areas of the center while the necessary work, finally the project has kept all active installations except the upper room of the museum were made initially raised.
From the EOI ensure that "in an institution like the Royal Glass Factory Farm we have to be constantly on the move to maintain the facilities in the best possible conditions, both for the development of the manufacturing activities or training, and to meet to the needs of visitors to the museum. "
Strategic Plan
These works are included in the strategic plan for the CNV of the School of Industrial Organization, which manages the Glass Factory since June last year 2013.
Three centuries of history
The Royal Glass Factory was built with the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain in 1727, where King Philip V of Spain
This year Buenaventura Sit installed, funded by the crown, a small flat glass furnace.
In 1746, the French master Dionisio Sibert drives manufacturing crystals and in 1750, the German master John Eder began manufacturing entrefinos glasses.
In 1836, the Royal Treasury formally took over the facility.
The location of the factory had the decisive element abundance of fuel available in the area.
The sands and refractory clays necessary feedstock and manufacturing equipment came from nearby locations: Bernuy de Porreros, Brieva and the Lastrilla.
The heyday of the Royal Factory was to the reigns of Charles III and Charles IV.
Between 1770 and 1772 the building currently held in San Ildefonso, intended for flat glass factory was built.
In 1963 he finally finished for the manufacture of glass wool in the Real Fábrica de Cristales de La Granja.
The building was therefore unused, and completely abandoned until 1982, when the National Glass Centre Foundation, which begins its restoration and revival, recovering the old image featuring the whole, with the installation of the Technological Museum is the School of Glass and Research Center.

Fragile but strong. These two
antagonistic terms used to
describe the work of the
collective exhibition of
glassmakers Segovia can be
seen in the Art & Wine
Arandina room.
A group of seven artists, each
with their own style and
engaging in a different
discipline, show the work that
can be performed with such a
delicate glass material.
This art form is little or nothing
known in our country, where
there is a misconception that
this material is reserved for
crockery and glassware or to
give life to the windows.
"Outside Spain, the glass is of
great importance in France
and Germany there are many
schools and museums, but
here almost no books are
found," Llorente regrets
Ruben, a young Fuentespina
having the workshop in
Segovia.
The other artists are Juan Jose
Carrero, Maria Soria Alameda,
Fernando Garcia, Laura
Vazquez who signs his work
as 'Valango' Manel Alba
Dominguez and Martin.
Contemplating the works, the
viewer can note the magic that
is a natural material as the part
of all, thanks to the perfect
play of light and brightness it
brings.
"The colors are the most
appealing addition to their
fragility, with paint, whether oil
paintings or watercolors, not
so bright colors are achieved;
and then there is the play of
light, which is used as the
artist wants, "says Llorente.
In the exhibition you can see
pieces of jewelry, recycled
blown glass, stained glass and
sculptures to the casting
technique.
This work styles and helps
visitors to banish the
stereotypical idea that works of
art glass are confined to the
religious heritage environment.
"You can do almost anything
with this material, it is more
than a saint in a stained glass
window in a church or a drink,"
says the coastal glazier, who
has done work as a
reproduction of a motorcycle
helmet, busts, hats, portraits or
what everyone wants, "keeping
in mind the functionality that is
going to give the piece
because they could not make
the wheel for a car," explains
Llorente.
Among the works that have
been seen in Art & Wine very
striking piece of sculpture.
This is a silhouette of wood on
the African continent, trapped
by barbed wire with a face
made by the technique of
casting, from the workshop of
Reuben Llorente, his artistic
power and social awareness,
inspired by hopping the fence
to the border between Spain
and Morocco.
A powerful demonstration of
the strength that can acquire
the fragile mixture of silica
sand, soda ash and limestone
that can be found naturally or
humans to produce with great
pulse and sensitivity, creating
art.

To commemorate its 30th
anniversary, the "Fondation

exceptional project.
The Fondation Cartier
continues celebrating its 30th
anniversary with a Glass Box
on Musings / Reflections on a
Glass Box, a new installation
created especially for the
occasion by the architectural
and design interdisciplinary
Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
The Cartier Foundation
building designed by Jean
Nouvel is used as raw material
for his work for the first time in
the history of the institution.
Musings on a Glass Box /
Reflections on a Glass Box is
a complex job that occupies
the entire ground floor of the
Cartier Foundation, where an
alteration in the ceiling will
trigger a surprising reaction.
The result is an immersive
environment that includes a
comprehensive acoustic
component of American
composer David Lang and
Jody Elff sound designer, who
works with the architecture of
the building to raise questions
about transparency, perception
and one's relationship with
space .
"The unique glass exhibition
spaces designed by Jean
Nouvel at the Fondation
Cartier has been a challenge
for artists and curators for two
decades, upending the
conventions of gallery white
box and pushing the
boundaries of architecture.
The large transparent walls of
the building were at the
forefront of glass technology in
the 90s, aspiring to one of the
highest goals of Modernity:
dematerialize the wall and
completely connect the inside
to the outside.

The stained glass windows of the Cathedral of Segovia.
www.amigosmava.org
Sacred art in its many
manifestations, aims not only to
decorate the temples and
churches, but to provide a
catechetical experience through
different artistic expressions to
illustrate the Gospel message.
The 65 windows of the Cathedral
of Segovia faithfully fulfill this
goal, as they could well see the
participants in the Business
Cycle "Heritage Sunday",
organized by the Municipal
Tourism, that after the summer
break gave the penultimate visits
tour of one of the most important
sets of glaziers heritage of
Spain.
Participants in the visit counted
as a guide for this tour with
Laura Pizarro Zoido degree in Art
History from the University of
Salamanca and titled upper
glass at the National Glass
Centre Foundation, which beat
out the artistic and technical
features of the windows of the
Cathedral.
Pizarro Zoido feature the
iconographic cycle of the
windows of the cathedral, in
which episodes of the Passion
and Death of Christ united with
Old Testament stories both in the
windows of the nave and in the
different chapels of the temple
are reported.
Thus, highlighted the work of
glassmakers Pierre and Pierre
de Chivarri Netherlands, in the
first phase of the stained-glass
windows in the sixteenth century
and with the cooperation of
glassmakers in the Netherlands
as Nicolas de Vergara, Nicholas
Holland and Gualter of Ronch.
The work of glassmakers got
Segovia Cathedral today
presumed to have the largest
group of Renaissance stained
glass in Europe, with near
mannerism and style based on
the style of Flemish artists of the
time.
He also highlighted the work
done in the second phase of the
installation of the windows,
carried out in the seventeenth
century and was the widest of
the three dating to date; where a
document is made to order the
iconographic program of the
stories told in the windows
attributed to Francisco Herranz.
On this point, Laura Pizarro said
the theoretical goal of the
windows was none other than
"praise the catholicity in a
turbulent period for the
proliferation of other religious
currents linked to Protestantism,
though the last and fundamental
purpose was just to cover the
openings left in the temple. "
Pizarro Zoido also wanted to
highlight the stained-glass
windows in the chancel by
Maumejean Casa de Madrid in
the early twentieth century, to
date the complete catalog of the
Cathedral stained glass.
As systems making stained
glass, the expert said that has not
changed in terms of technique,
but has improved in terms of
using technologies to obtain
forms and colors more easily

"The work maintains a high
Glazier he explained artisanal
component but it is true that
current technology can greatly
facilitate the process that was
previously done manually."
Pizarro Zoido also praised the
restoration project that the
council of the Cathedral of
Segovia is underway on the
windows of the temple, and said
it was "absolutely necessary"
given the precarious condition of
many of them.
He noted that the work conducted
by the stained glass Segovia
Carlos Muñoz de Pablos is a
"guarantee" for a final result.

Higher School of Glass.
The Royal Glass Factory
devotes a large part of their
management training within
the School of Glass.
Three weeks we began the
new academic year 2014-
2015 in the center, although
enrollments have declined
significantly compared to
previous years.
Thus, it has not received
sufficient demand for
interested students to meet
this year to the first year of
Higher Grade Glass.
Thus, currently are enrolled
in the School of Glass A total
of 15 students, who are
doing their studies in order to
get your degree and enter
the workforce, some of them
through training practices
offered in collaboration with
companies or institutions.
As you may recall, the
Governing Council of the
Junta de Castilla y León in
2010 adopted new curricula
for higher artistic education
Grade Glass, begun
experimentally in 2010-2011,
applying for first year these
lessons were offered in the
Royal Place.
In the academic year 2011-
2012 the second year of the
new plans are implemented,
the third was implemented in
2012-2013, and the fourth
and last, 2013-2014.
The curriculum comprises
four academic years of 60
credits per year, meaning
that students take a total of
240 credits of the European
Credit Transfer System
(ECTS), the end of Grade.
These credits are distributed
among core subjects,
compulsory subjects of art,
electives, and a final project.
One of the main attractions
of the School of Glass is its
privileged location in the
historic building that houses
since the eighteenth century,
the Royal Glass Factory of
La Granja de San Ildefonso.
Students and teachers share
space and facilities with
traditional glass factory,
which began in the Age of
Enlightenment.
This coexistence is a unique
and exceptional educational
experience where students
are in contact with the
business and professional
world of glass in modern
history and full facilities, in
which museum, from the first
day, the collection of
traditional pieces
complements a unique
exhibition of contemporary
art glass.
The Royal Factory remains a
unique landmark in art
education and glass
technology, as evidenced by
the continued collaboration
with the most prestigious
institutions in this field.
In fact, this month has been
told in school with students
from Tufts University, with
undergraduate and graduate
student at the prestigious
Istituto Europeo di Designo
or the presence of an artist in
residence at the University of
Manchester.

Risk of collapse in the CRAM.
Since last staff month of the
Ministries of Culture and Public
Works revolved order for the
area where the Crystal Gallery
is located will cordon off this
into the Regional Center for
the Arts, with the risk that they
might break down some glass
who are buckled and for days
(published timely information
from INDEPENDENT February
19) so it makes no artistic or
cultural or in the forecourt of
CRAM events, or inside the
gallery, until further notice.
"We are in contact with the
theater worker to the activities
intended to perform on the
Esplanade are made in areas
of gardens, the center will
continue to operate the same,"
said Diana Correa Sandoval,
head of the CRAM, who said
she will head the institution,
while not an official
appointment of who will
succeed Stephen Luis
Murguia, who served as
director of this cultural space is
designated.
He said the two workers who
were inside the building, one in
charge of the library and the
other Educal Gallery Manager
Crystal, they had to relocate
the Teatro Obrero, to
guarantee safety; even while
admitting that according to
studies conducted by experts,
the glasses do not endanger
the public
"The people we came to do
the opinion noted that
although these collapse pose
no danger, since it is a glass of
high tension, it's like the cars,
then very tiny bits that would
not cut in swims are made,
such is the case of skylights
that are above parking,
fractionated into multiple
pieces, so it's not something
risky, however we do not want
to cover the well after the
drowning child, thereby
determining completely seal
off the area took "he
explained.
He noted that this problem has
its origins from construction of
the project created by the
architect Francisco Serrano
Cacho, it was inaugurated in
2006.
"The glass ribs have only one
level and reach the bottom was
not covered, was since the
building did not think of that
structure."
He explained that the air
caused the glass to bow
slightly, although, he said, none
is damaged or broken, just
lopsided. However you must
remove the entire set of
glasses that makes this gallery
to replace the structure, ie be
disassembled and put all
structural aluminum facade and
later putting on glasses "
He said it would be the
Secretary of State Public
Works which will handle the
project.
"We are receiving various
proposals from different
architects and will determine
what would be indicated, we do
not know the cost of the
investment or how many
glasses are in total."

Recycling. Life Clayglass.
LIFE ClayGlass is funded by
the European Commission
within the LIFE program to
support innovative initiatives
that contribute to sustainable
development and the
achievement of the
objectives of the Europe
2020 strategy and plans of
the EU on climate and
environment.
It is one of 59 projects
approved in the Spanish call
2012 in the category of
Environmental Policy and
Governance.
The total amount of aid by
the European Commission
LIFE projects in this call, in
all categories, has been
276.71 million euros.
The use of recycled glass as
a flux in lieu of clay in the
production of ceramic bricks
is the centerpiece of this
innovative project which has
already started its
implementation phase and,
within two years, expected to
demonstrate the technical
feasibility and sustainability
the performance of the
proposed method of
production, process and
disseminate to the rest of
Europe, with the introduction
of new products in the usual
channels of distribution and
marketing.
In LIFE ClayGlass a team of
AITEMIN (Association for
Industrial Research and
Development of Natural
Resources), consortium
leader and technology
partner consortium
participates; Ceramics Mora,
technology partner; Restart
Association, strategic
partner; Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki (Greece),
partner and Recycling Pozo
Cañada validation,
dissemination and transfer
partner.
In the case of structural
ceramics industry,
specifically in the
manufacture of stoneware or
clinker are used
temperatures up to 1,300 ° C
to obtain technological
properties required low
absorption and high
mechanical strength.
This represents a high
consumption of thermal
energy generated in the most
part by the combustion of
natural gas.
The result is the emission of
greenhouse gases,
especially CO2, which
contribute to global warming.
However, with the addition of
recycled glass as a flux to
replace clays, low firing
temperature up to 1,100 ° C
because the glass begins to
melt at lower temperatures.
Thus, an energy savings of
between 10 and 15%, and a
reduction in emissions of
CO2, around 2,000 tonnes
per year, for a factory
produces medium size.
Moreover, it helps to reduce
the ecological footprint, as
recycled glass replaces a
portion of the clay used, an
overexploited natural
resource.
The built-in glass as
ClayGlass LIFE innovation
for manufacturing ceramic
bricks comes from CRT
(cathode ray tube) televisions
and monitors, windows and
windscreens of vehicles in
use and the glass mixed with
organic waste generated in
the homes.
They are all waste going to
landfills and that through this
project, will be given a
second life in coating
materials.

whistle was evoke the founding era of
early Christianity and promise to
remove archaeological chronologies of

Peninsula.
"When we found it was a big
discussion within the team of
archaeologists," says Marcelo Castro,
project Forum MMX conducting
excavations in Cástulo. "We were
afraid to defend what they saw,
because it forced you to review the
chronology of early Christianity in
Spain," says the archeologist. The
whistle has just been presented by the
territorial delegate of Economy,
Innovation, Science and Job, Ana
Cobo, and Education, Culture and
Sports, Yolanda Caballero of the
Andalusian, together with the Deputy
Provincial Employment Promotion and
Tourism Férriz Angeles Linares
(Jaén).
And, as archaeologists have been
dating Cástulo by analyzing ceramic
materials and the study of associated
coins, one minted under Emperor
Constantius II, the whistle just
presented to the world is concurrent
with that right historic moment which
Christianity ceases to be practiced in
secret in catacombs and houses of
worship -Domus Ecclesiae behind the
society of the time. That is, what they
have found is one of the earliest
depictions of Christ after the dignity of
Christian worship.
In fact, the very representation of the
son of God beardless, with short curly

toga philosopher iconography reveals
hair belonging to the period before the
stabilization of Christianity. And so it is

pieces of glass, including
the aforementioned René
Lalique: vases, jewelry, car
mascots, etcetera.
These parts get very
interesting and high prices,
being able to overcome
some € 90,000.
Therefore, our
recommendation is that if
you own a piece of glass or
crystal, do not despise the
likely sales. Collecting this
type of work is booming,
and this must be added a
taste for everything vintage.
Do not hesitate to turn to
professionals who can set
the value of their parts
quickly and easily.
The presence of works in
glass is common in auction
dedicated to the decorative
arts, both inside and
outside of Spain.
We must differentiate
between national auction
houses and international,
since the interest of
collectors goes to a certain
style.
In Spain, as usual, is
relatively easy to find parts,
and within them, perhaps
the most common are
those belonging to the
Royal Factory of La Granja
de San Ildefonso.
There is a definite market
around them, and
depending on the "special"
of the work: age, type of
decoration (carved,
gold ...) their prices can
reach very interesting
dimensions to the world of
decorative arts.
We can also find pieces of
more contemporary taste
as those made in Art
Nouveau and Art Deco,
without actually find works
by the great names of that
era, such as Lalique and
Daum, but in most cases
we will pieces "style".
On the other hand, the

Other trends. Elizabeth at the Gulbenkian.
www.amigosmava.org
Two women, Elizabeth II of Castile Isabella of Braganza, very Portuguese two-yes, also our Catholic are the protagonists of the shared history, the treasures of the Spanish royal house, a major exhibition of the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, which seeks to highlight the best of these 350 years of relationships, almost always, by marriage.
The sample -141 pieces of all the arts, from armory to tapicería- opens with the breviary drawn to Isabella in the late fifteenth century, who ordered the first pages were to record the date of birth of their children. The prayer book passed to his daughter Mary when she traveled to Portugal to marry Manuel I. In 1517, when Queen Mary died, the book was inherited by his eldest daughter Elizabeth.
Roaming objects monarchs, and his court, is a constant until Philip II established the headquarters in Madrid. At that need to take with samples might, due the size of the work, as minitablas John Flanders (1465-1519) are shown, with religious scenes like Queen, minialtar embossed silver or the same tapestries that decorated the royal houses according to the activity (game room or ranch hunting), according to the season: winter rugs to paintings for the summer.
This variety of decorative treasures, paint to fabrics, weapons or books, formed the whole of the Gulbenkian exhibition, which will continue until the end of January.
The Isabella Breviary is still here and there, as when Charles V married Isabel, daughter of Manuel I of Portugal, it takes him to Castile. Through the direct descendants of Empress Elizabeth, came the Luso-Hispanic unification same Crown as tapestries and portraits remind exposure.
If Charles V was the warrior, the medieval ruler, nomad, dragging behind him to cut his son Philip II (I of Portugal) embodies and ways of life of early modern government. Sets the capital of the kingdom in Madrid,
of Charles V and the Empress Isabella of Portugal, kneeling in prayer, completes and Philip II and another family in the same situation.
Sobriety comes with portraits of Emperor two daughters, Joan of Austria (Alonso Sanchez Coello, 1560), founder of the Monastery of the Discalced, and her sister Mary (Pantoja de la Cruz, 1600), who took refuge in the monastery die.
To show the common bonds, the double wedding at the border on January 19, 1729, when Princess Mariana Vitória de Bourbon entered Portugal married to the prince of Brazil, after Joseph I, his sister Maria Barbara of Braganza left Portugal to marry Fernando VI. Polyglot, performer and singer Barbara de Braganza had total influence Fernando VI to promote culture in Spain. At his death, Ferdinand VI went mad.
Another sample beads are two small oil paintings by Goya, factory bullets and gunpowder factory, not well known and found in the outer office of the king in La Zarzuela. These works follow the link to the exhibition also demonstrate common misadventures of the two countries. The two pictures resemble a "war of independence" and other "Napoleonic invasions".Oh, the palabras¡. Ferdinand also commissioned the painter to decorate the bedroom Fuendetodos his second wife, Isabel de Braganza. The result is St. Elizabeth of Portugal to serve the poor, all in shades of gray, very Goya's nothing politically correct, and that, fortunately, never placed in the double bed.
Three hundred and fifty years later, and two floors of the Gulbenkian, the cycle closes as it began, with another woman, another Elizabeth, and like all of them, at least one woman-like object. Two portraits of Isabel de Braganza, the first with a flat hand, on the other with a building under construction in the background. The germ of the Prado Museum, the Portuguese pushed and bequeath to humanity as a leading museums worldwide.
began construction ofthe Escorial and includes in his will as inalienable property of the Crown, that is the core of the royal collections, weapons, tapestries and paintings showing the Gulbenkian. Two frames, one next to another, "speak for themselves of the various interests of Charles V and his son Philip II," explains one of the exhibition curator Alvaro Soler del Campo. "The Emperor's armor, dented references to virgins and the might warrior." His mount wears the imperial eagle and two columns with the slogan Plus Ultra, "beyond" that four centuries later would copy Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story.
Beside the black armor of his son, Philip II. "Nothing to do" continues Soler del Campo, "the forced religious references are added engraved with the ruling virtues, Prudence, Strength and Justice, in addition to gods and goddesses of Greco-Roman mythology." When he becomes King of Portugal (Philip I) armor redesigns to include the country code.
Thanks to the collaboration of the National Heritage Museum's Ancient Art Lisbon and various private collections and La Caixa Foundation, extraordinary pieces as varied as shown. One is the polychrome sculpture of Saint Elizabeth of Portugal (Manuel Pereira, 1625), brought from the Monastery of the Discalced. "A sculptor unbelievable, with exceptional work that can be seen in the Madrid church of San Antonio, misnamed the Germans, it is the Portuguese" explains curator Pilar Del Rio.
In the eagerness to show aesthetic and power of the successive reigns, here Titians, an El Greco, and Salome presented with the head of St. John Baptist, a late dazzling claoroscuros Caravaggio.
At the entrance of the room, the chronology of the two countries shows that when you are constipated the other also, but the Cenotaph Charles V and his family (Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, 1599) proves: eight squares of equal size, with a family tree charts where royal houses of both sides intersect, one might say.

SCIENTIFIC CULTURE
The show was created with
the clear aim to surprise
visitors with a new way of
seeing and understanding
Crystallography, through
an aesthetic and haunting
image that triggers
curiosity.
It consists of 14 panels
proposed, each of them an
aesthetically striking image
that hints at a science
content linked to the world
of crystallography.
For example, did you know
that the shell of an egg is
made of calcium carbonate
crystals? It is a prodigious
structure, a perfect
container of protein and an
ideal environment for an
embryo. You know how it is
constructed? How long
does it form? Why such a
thin structure is so robust?
This and other content can
be covered in this sample,
among other tasks, aims to
help clarify some
misconceptions about the
crystals in the public, such
as when the crystals with
glasses are confused or
associated with jewels and
gemstones with magical
properties.

Glass in South Africa.
Location: 105 Corlett Drive, Johannesburg, 2196, South Africa.
The architect of the project, Carla Soudien describes the conceptual approach. "The concept of the building is derived from a number of sources, including the location and context, the choice of materials and program needs The site provides an opportunity for generate a jeweler craft materials including glass and coating Arcelor Mittal Caïman for cones. Software was used to generate a collection of forms that defy traditional expressions of materials such as concrete and glass. extensive planting on the podium also softens the structure for the people. "
Carla says that the design is based on a glass box that seems to float, supported by three conical shapes. The coating provides a glowing effect achieved with changing light qualities. In addition, it can contain the required shape while other materials do not. In the north and south elevations specified a reflective laminated glass SolarShield S30. On the east and west elevations specified a gray
tinted glass Eclipse Advantage. Ivan Lin helped with the specification of the glass with respect to sound insulation, advising that the laminated glass may achieve insulation performance for the budget.
This is an office building with two floors above a podium parking 3 floors, separated by double cone shapes with metallic coating volume. The office space is an elongated and flattened concrete and glass wrapped closed at its ends, which is punctuated with vertical slots, with raised beveled plant east, following the boundaries of the site. Tapers are double volume spaces and include the reception and training. The park has 190 bays.
Podium base
This rectilinear box surround is constructed of brick and concrete element with a panel coated aluminum coating. Under no stone panels slate blue African Riven Walling as a contrast stripe to break the voluminous basement level.
Floor outdoor terminations
Gateways polished concrete with saw cut pattern, inlaid
stone and slate are placed at entrances, in a similar to the masonry on the facade of the cellar master. Beyond is the landscape filler is designed as a xeriscape, using indigenous low maintenance plants with tall grass on the perimeter to soften the edge of the building and the balustrades. The landscaping of the roof matches the podium downstairs with a combination of polished concrete walkways and the like plantation.
Box office concrete and glass
The shape of the concrete box office has two levels and is characterized by its ends wrapped with amazing openings that make vertical cuts on the way. The dark glass windows shaped grooves contrasts with the matte texture of the concrete box.
The main glass facades are single crystal with a little reflection, in an effort to get away from a black glass that meets the needs of heating, cooling and glare without compromising performance.

If you have vertigo, you may

Chinese engineers have built
a suspended glass bridge
180 meters above a valley of

province, reports 'The
Telegraph'.
Dubbed "The oriental
Skywalk", this glass bridge is
4,700 meters above sea
level on the side of the
Tianmen Mountain in
Zhangjiajie, China.
In order to keep the path
clean, tourists are asked to
cover their shoes before
passing.
The bridge 200 feet long,
was built in the early
summer and is similar to the
original Skywalk Grand
Canyon in the US
Allows visitors to look
through clear glass 2.5
inches the canyon, as if self
were airborne.
Tianmen Mountain
(Heavenly Gate Mountain) is
so called because of a huge
natural cave located half
way to the summit.
Located in the province of
Hunan, the highest peak is
5,000 meters above sea
level and is home to a large
number of rare plant species.
This magnificent glass
structure extending joining
two rocky summits, and last
but not least, may be
jeopardized by the wind.
"At first it was fine, but when I
was a third of the way I
started shaking knees" said
Ku Yun, 23, who has already

The Eiffel Tower is renewed.
www.amigosmava.org
In its 125th birthday, the Eiffel Tower received a touch.
Now, tourists visiting Paris be definite stand on a glass floor located on the first level to see the City of Light from above.
The transparent glass floor is on the first level, ie 57 meters above the streets, a moderate but not suitable for vertigo sufferers height.
The total height of the tower, with antennas, is 324 meters, the second floor is 115 and the third at 276.
The four small sections of observation at that level cost 30 million euros and opened last October, after almost two years of work, but the Eiffel Tower never closed during construction.
In the center of the floor of an acre, the solid ground that bordered the vacuum was replaced
with a glass floor, and a protective grille tilted glass wall vacuum.
The first floor, the largest of the tower is, paradoxically, the least frequented.
The Society for the Exploitation of the Eiffel Tower (SETE) hopes that this renewal will become a space to check.
Besides the glass floor was rebuilt there the public reception spaces and modernized educational tour.
"We are not a museum, but we have a history," said a spokeswoman for the management company.
"The goal is to climb as fast as possible, it is similar to a blood circuit system" describes Dubelloy Wilhelm, aka "Wim" receptionist in the tower for 13 years.
Every seven or eight minutes, two elevators
rotation undertake two levels between the floor and the second floor.
To follow up you have to take one of the "duolifts" that lead to the third.
The first floor is a possible break in the fall for visitors who take the elevators.
And so, both descent and ascent, for the brave climbing the stairs to the second floor (671 steps), which did little more than fifty percent of the visitors in 2013.
Spacing and manage the endless stream of people is one of the goals of the renovation of the first floor, and the third has a maximum capacity of 400 people.
The steel tower is the most visited paid attraction in the world, with seven million visitors a year, and was built for the Universal Exhibition of 1889.

Cathedral Glass Orange.
Anyone remember how in
2011 the Diocese of
Orange, California, she
starred in one of the most
expensive, audacious
and debatable for a
diocese in recent years
real estate transactions:
the acquisition of the
gigantic cathedral glass,
made in the 80's architect
Philip Johnson and
owned by the Protestant
church Crystal Cathedral
Ministries, founded by TV
preacher Robert Schuller,
who finished in a complex
procedure failed.
The cost of the
transaction was $ 40
million, but the
perplexities were due to
the possibility and the
opportunity to convert to
the Catholic faith
certainly a spectacular
and evocative building
but designed with criteria
other than those of the
Catholic liturgy.
As Wikipedia points out,
"the Rev. Robert Schuller,
after founding his own
Protestant Christian
congregation in 1955,
commissioned the church
to spread their message
