My name is Beatriz Castelo, I am 21 years old and I am an exchange
student from Fortaleza, Ceará, city that is on the northeast of
Brazil. In Brazil I study Architecture and Urbanism. I came to Ireland by a
Brazilian government program that finances students to study in other
countries. Here I am doing some classes about media and
journalism and psychology. One of them is Understand the
Image, and for complete this one I have to make a photo book with pictures
taken by me. I always liked to take pictures, is one of some hobbies that I
have, and editing images. Here I am taking the opportunity to learn
more about it, and working with it in this class.
For do this photo book I will take pictures about buildings, houses, streets,
squares, etc. In other words, the architecture of Dublin, specifically from the downtown area, because is where I spend more time in the city,
after the Marino and is where the architecture and the street style are more
diverse. There are a lot of construction, showing how they (new's ones and the
old ones) can be side by side and do not to be conflicting with each others, and showing how the architecture
defines to the city forms.
To do this project I will take pictures in the route that I usually
get to go home and to go to Dublin Business School (DBS). This route is doing
by bus, the bus is Marino 123 (From Marino Towards Walkinstown
(Kilnamanagh Rd.)), but I won’t do the completely route, my course is
until the Dame Street (Griffith Avenue to Dame Street), in the both ways. This
project will happen between November 2013 and March 2014. At the end of the class schedule all students will present their work and
the best of them will be on display in an exhibition.
As I said before, I choose this theme to do my photo book because I am
an architecture and urbanism student and I really appreciated how the building
and the streets delimited zones in the cities and specifically in Dublin that
the new and the old (types of architecture styles) can stay side by side and
not fight
with each other or gets
weird. I am excited to do this and show
how the architecture and the photography can work together.
The pictures for the photo book will be taken in own my way to go home
or Dublin Business School (DBS) in an IPhone 5 camera or a Nikon D3100. Before
taking the pictures the route will be watching to see where the most
interesting views of the buildings are and in which places there are the new
and the old abreast or when the architecture defines what should happen in some
place. Concluding step of the photos, the best ones will be selected and will be treating to make part of a
photo book. When the photo book is ready, it will be presented to our tutor,
because the best book will be showing in an exhibition, and after that I will
take my book to Brazil and show to my friends so they can see how the
architecture organize the city here in Dublin.
