Querida Cristina,
En palabras de Diego A. Rodriguez Lozano, la obra
de Jujol está ubicada en el germen de la modernidad
y en la más dura crítica hacia la misma.
En la foto la masía del siglo XVII renovada por
Jujol entre 1915 y 1930.

Lilacs
A time before I could be
These lilacs bloomed,
Soon, again nothing of me.
They will bloom on.
From sun, from wind,
their petals fall,
strewn like sand
over my all.

2300. National Indoor Stadium, Japan.
Dear Koji,
The former National Stadium served as the main
venue for the 1964 Summer Olympics. Although the
structure was perfectly safe after the 2011 Great
East Japan Earthquake and held a number of
large music concert successfully, it was demolished
in 2015 to allow for the construction of a new larger
stadium. This new facility, by Kengo Kuma, served
as the main venue for the opening and closing
ceremonies of the 2020 Summer Olympics and
Paralympics.
Regards,
R
