Complex Urbanism
In the last few years our cities have been changing to accommodate our necessities, for these important task it is essential we consider urbanism practice so we can study every little aspect that needs to be changed or fixed.
In the early days, urbanism was applied in different cities for different purposes, for example, Paris was built in a very special way, almost all roads lead to the Arc of Triumph and the height of the buildings was the same. In some American cities they applied urbanism to design main freeways for evacuation.
People like Hausmann used to think that an orthogonal city or shape worked better and would last longer, but nowadays we are starting to learn that complex architecture can work, and cities are starting to gain a different shape.
The human body is a very complex system, conformed by a group of joined elements working with themselves and complementing each other to achieve a complete harmony, making it a perfect structure; “why not designing our cities in a more complex way so we can live in a better environment?”
As time goes by, there are more people that are concerned about these issues and they are making very interesting diagrams and essays, to makes cities more fitted for our daily life.

THE URBANISM AS A THEME
Urbanism is the study of cities, their geographic, economic, political, social and cultural environment, and the impact of all these forces on the built environment. Urbanism is also a species of urban planning, focusing on the creation of communities for living, work, and play.
For my third asaingment, i want to create a video that comunicates how to create an enviorment or a city with equilibrium and order.
The idea is to show the importance of urbanism. How am I going to do that?
Well the first thing to do is to create a city, the buildings that sorraund this city will not have any detail because that is not important, the most important thing about this video is to animate how a city with bad planning, starts to change in to a city with order and idea. To achive that effect, I will start by modeling a city that dosen`t have any order or planning, then I`ll start to move the buildings and transform the old city in to a planed city, with the tall industrial buidings in the center and the smaller buildings or recidential area sorrounding the industrial zone.
