En esta foto se comprueba que Edzná se encuentra en una zona que se basa en la agricultura temporal, y que el clima es cálido y subhúmedo, un tipo de clima que es típico de la península de Yucatán. Es agricultura temporal porque se usa el agua que viene de las lluvias del verano y otoño para regar la cosecha, y los otros meses para plantar y cosechar.
Esta imagen demuestra que Edzná está localizado en un área que tiene vegetación de selva húmeda. Esto quiere decir que los árboles que hay son muy altos, y tienen troncos muy gruesos. Hay una gran variedad de especies, que están verdes todo el año.
Esta foto muestra que Edzná se encuentra en lo que se conoce como la Península de Yucatán. Está Península se extiende hasta Guatemala, y tiene muchas cosas que lo diferencian de otras partes del país. Edzná está en una zona sin relieve (una planicie), pero hay muchos ríos y cenotes subterráneos, lo cual los habitantes de Edzná aprendieron a aprovechar.
Esta foto demuestra que en el área donde se encuentra Edzná no hay muchos ríos ni lagos (el más cercano siendo el río Candelaria), pero aún así los habitantes del centro ceremonial fueron suficientemente ágiles para usar el agua de todos los cenotes y ríos subterráneos para hacer canales y tener un complejo sistema de irrigación.
Edzná
Edzná es una de las ciudades mayas más interesantes y famosas, debido a su arquitectura única y todos sus descubrimientos. Es conocida por ser una de las ciudades más tecnológicamente avanzadas de su época, en especial sus complejos sistemas de riegos. Edzná “Casa de los Itzaes”, presenta muchos misterios a los arqueólogos, debido a su inaudito desarrollo y su complejidad como ciudad prehispánica en sí. Edzná se conecta con el área de interacción de ingenuo humano ya que en este lugar se puede ver de muchas maneras como el humano cambia e interactúa con la naturaleza que lo rodea, y también, como la naturaleza hace que los hombres cambien para acoplarse a ella. Para la investigación de este proyecto fueron utilizadas muchas fuentes, entre ellas la revista Arqueomex, varios libros sobre Edzná, y el sitio web del INAH.

The author has covered various aspects of the life of Cortez. There are no two opinions that her extensive research can help create a living portrait of a stable yet constantly evolving community.
At first, Esperanza is young, insecure, and immature. Her immaturity is apparent when she talks about her mom holding her, saying it is, “sweet to put your nose into when she is holding you and you feel safe” (Cisneros 6-7). This shows Esperanza’s insecurity because her mom is still a big comfort source to her. She feels a false sense of comfort because her mom is there and will protect her. In addition, Esperanza’s immaturity is shown through her dislike for outsiders of the neighborhood when she says, “They are stupid people who are lost and got here by mistake” (Cisneros 28). This indicates how defensive and protective Esperanza is towards her barrio by calling outsiders stupid for reacting the way they do, even though she dislikes Mango Street....
In class we read the book House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, the main character Esperanza lives in a lower working class neighborhood and street called Mango Street dealing with poverty. Her house is an important symbol in House on Mango Street. It represents Eperanza’s process of maturing as a person and the change in her perspective of poverty and struggle being shameful, to it being something to embrace and use as motivation. This is a very important part of the story because it is in many aspects where we are from that make us who we become. This is interesting to see in the book as her opinions and perspective of things inside and outside of her neighborhood are shaped by her experiences.
In the short story “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros, make Esperanza the main character. Esperanza expresses herself in traditional words, her own feelings about life. The image of the The House on Mango Street is located in a poor neighborhood, where this young girl and her family present emotions becoming into a hope of a better life. These feelings led Esperanza convert the idea to own a beautiful house into an obsession. The image of Esperanza and her House becomes a symbol of different ideas such as shame, fantasy, independence, confidence and hope.
Environment/Geography- when it comes to the environment, it deals with the film Celebración Del Matrimonio the environment takes place in El Rito, New Mexico. William and Cecilia love playing Spanish music, surrounded by many deserts, nice, beautiful mountains, gigantic valleys, amazing images and plenty of more. Marriage is one of the best that can happen in New Mexico. I say this because when individuals who get married in the state of New Mexico, it’s like having a celebration for a new life. New Mexico has a beautiful scenery and enjoyment weather.

Buildings reflect the values and ideas of society within periods. The role of architecture in shaping society and vice versa largely depends on the period in question and who or what affects first. The Enlightenment, and the subsequent period the Post-Enlightenment, reflect the biggest change for current ideas regarding architecture and society and current theories. At the same time, individual identities and understanding of society, progress and truth all follow a similar evolving path. It is during this dramatic shift in thinking that the role of architecture to society and the idea of progress and truth becomes a more complex relationship. How this relationship works and its implications is based on the theory that there is a direct link between the two. One cannot develop without the other. Who leads whom and to what extent they influence each other is evident in architectural trends and pioneering works by architects such as Robert Venturi, Frank Gehry amongst others.
The influence of “La Llorona”. La leyenda de la Llorona es un mito que ha desarrollado de México dese los 1500’s y ha sido cuento por muchas generaciones desde México a centro y sur América hasta estados en Los Estados Unidos como Arizona, California, Nuevo México y Texas.
What makes modern architecture? Before answering this, one would need to understand what the term “modern” exactly describes. In architecture, modernism is the movement or transition from one period to another, and it is caused by cultural, territorial, and technological changes happening in the world. In Kenneth Frampton’s Modern Architecture: A Critical History, he details these three major societal changes that impact and create modern architecture.
The role of the architect is a question that evokes a spectrum of answers from Norman Foster’s definition; ‘Architect is an expression of values… the way we build is a reflection of the way we live.’ [Foster, cited in Tholl, 2014: Online] This debate of who and what an architect should be and do is not a recent one to emerge but has lead many architects and designers as far back as Vitruvius [15BC] to produce documentation on what they believed to be the make-up of an architect. In Vitruvius’ ‘The Ten Books On Architecture’ he quickly establishes two fragments that make an architect, the manual skill and the theory and scholarship.
