Choosing a Chilean building is not that easy for me, because I don't know as many as I would like, so I guess I will talk about The Singular hotel. This hotel is located in Patagonia, about 5 minutes away from Puerto Natales by car. Apart from the beauty of the context in which this building is inserted, I like it because is a reference of good intervention on a patrimonial building, oriented to let the background of the building be in sight and, at the same time, giving it a proposed new use. I know this building because I had to analyze it for the workshop at the begining of the third semestre, and I love the idea of making of the agricultural culture of the place, a focus of contemplation, something super representative of the society at the time, that still affects some traditions of the society nowadays. And talking about the style, the original building was conceived as industrial architecture, so, it hasn't have a design per se more than just a meat processing plant where people could work with animal stuff. However, the materials that those sheds are made of are woods and bricks from the XIX century, so it's interesting to watch the contrast that appears when you have these materials with the materials of the current hotel. I hope I can go there someday, but it's so expensive :c
Something I should do to keep fit (but I don't) As you can see I don't do many things to keep fit, I'm a pretty lazy person, that's the main reason. I could say that I have no time to do anything or that I'm too tired to do it (which is true), but when I do have the time I'd rather do anything but excersice, although it wasn't always like that. A few years ago, I used to ride my bicycle a lot, I remember I went for a ride with my friends almost every week, I like it because you can enjoy the landscape while you're doing excersice and I like that you can achieve considerably high speed without getting tired as easily as if you were running and you're sitting hahah. However, I don't like to ride my bicycle here in Santiago because of the traffic and the noise of the city, also, the landscapes here are not as good as the landscapes of my city in the south, and I don't have a bicycle either. I've tried running a couple of times, but it
I really liked the way you describe it, it sounds like a beautiful sight. too bad it's expensive.
