The cartoon is a graphics art, which tells a funny and/or satiric story in form of an affirmative picture, mostly with a point. Normally no words are used for the picture joke – sometimes just keywords. The cartoon is a drawing, that often in a humoristic way comments or criticises conditions of political or social character. The cartoon should easily perceive, which situation, person or problematic is intended to be told by the cartoonist. Also human attributes and characters can be put down in an overdoing manner. Scouting – with all its all-round attitude towards clean, truthworthy and moral values offers quite a lot of opportunities for critics, comments and interpretations – in particular, if the way of the cartoon is put in a fair, never offending, discriminating or even insulting form.

Imaginaries on Matter – Tools, Materials, Origins, promotes an innovative architectural research agenda that connects historical-cultural written research with digitally led material explorations. The common thread is the notion of the material imagination, disclosed in the reverie, or material daydream, which challenges overly pragmatic or unreflective material choices within current architectural practice. In bonding our imagination directly with matter while also confronting new technologies, this book promotes strategies by which architects' and builders' future relations with materials can stay rooted within the deeper concerns of cultural meaning. Imaginaries on Matter includes interviews with Aulets Arquitectes, Alibi Studio, Ensamble Studio, Geometria, Helen & Hard, KieranTimberlake, Supermanoeuvre, and Vandkunsten, as well as a postscript by David Leatherbarrow.

Harto de su vida y su trabajo en la gran ciudad, Germán decide emprender su gran aventura personal. Un espíritu joven en busca de nuevas experiencias en una tierra que se abre a la modernidad y que ofrece oportunidades de todo tipo. Germán descubrirá la libertad de las tierras amplias y semi salvajes, el aire limpio y libre de las tierras australes. Descubrirá los valores y tradiciones de sus primigenios habitantes, los indios, oprimidos y explotados por los blancos, los conquistadores, los nuevos propietarios. LA NOVELA constituye un magnífico fresco de la Patagonia de los años 1915-1930, de las tierras altas del Neuquén en un momento o clave de su cambio desde el abandono secular hacia los nuevos tiempos modernos. Es también un libro de viajes, ubicado en plena naturaleza, un continuo vagar por los paisajes abiertos, de una naturaleza salvaje e indómita como la raza que la habita. En cierto sentido es un libro de aventuras , de conflictos sociales, de luchas personales, de sucesos imprevistos que moldean la vida de Germán. Pero es también un libro de aventura personal, de cambio en la vida de un muchacho en sus mejores años, de sus experiencias y amarguras, de sus sueños e ilusiones, hasta convertirse en el gran escritor que aspira a ser.
