Subject: [GSBN] Save the Faro-expo zaragoza 2008
Hello,
As is usual in World Expos, they are planning the destruction of the Faro (the Pavillion made of Straw Bales and Clay). A group of citizens is trying to gain public support to avoid the demolition of the building prefering to save it as an example of eco-construction. If anyone is interested in signing a petition to help save it, or would like to help out in any way the text of the letter being signed is the following (translation with Babelfish):
::. .NO TO THE DEMOLITION OF THE LIGHT.::
A.A.: “To all the people who live in the house earth”
MANIFESTO.
Friday day 5 of December of year 2008, I called to masterful Spanish architect D. Antonio Lamela Dr. with prestigious reputation beyond our borders to even request its opinion to him with respect to the imminent demolition of the building the LIGHT, the conversation was in interesting end and it gave permission me to make it public; it said to me:
-. “. Ricardo I hope that it does not bother to you what I am going to you to say by the exaggerated thing that can seem, but is that it is it; due to its tremendous originality and singularity, to throw this building would suppose a similar barbarism to demolish anyone of the cathedrals of Spain or the same Stone quarry, Spain would have to feel proud to have a building thus ”.
It must consider that the LIGHT is an absolutely revolutionary building in the field of the architecture since it creates positive Ecological Track with a retention of more than 800 tons of CO2 in his service life and with an efficiency energetics based on the water, the wind and the natural materials are far better that any present building for their air conditioning.
. that it has been the building that has more liked the children and that greater interest has waked up with 1.000.000 of visits and articles in press describing it as taking of brings back to consciousness
. that it represents in front of the World, not only to the Expo. of Saragossa, but also to the NGOs and the citizenship and consultation nor informed into its demolition to this important sector has generally not been made.
. that the cost of execution in project was 3.700.000 € .y that whichever major is their time of greater life it will be his amortization.
. .que its restoration is possible since the unique thing that it does not work is the mud covering causes of a bad work execution.
. .que is designed respectively to resist the swellings of the Ebro of 5 years when having stone socle and protection of the wood structure until 1,50m and 0,70m over the swelling level.
That the project is the result of an incredible professional equipment formed with technicians of first order at world-wide level, hardly repeatable by the recent death of some of them like Fernando Fig trees
. and that is a building made to foment the debate and the encounter between citizenship and NGOs of the world, and we were in a while in that this is necessary
Really, after studying and meditating the subject, fodder that to demolish it without consulting its potential users is a serious error.
Reason why I solicit generally considers the will of the citizens and the town, in addition it is what Mr. Alcalde de Saragossa D.Juan Alberto Belloc in the presentation of the building said before mass media:
-. “ This building will stay if the citizenship wants. ”
