Revlon Illuminator How

know something about Christmas? It seems to

This is an interesting article on everything Christmas.

How many reindeer Santa has? Rudolph is and why there a red nose? Why do we put balls in the tree? And where does this history log? Everything about the story of Christmas, a series of anecdotes to put the meal, between Turkey and log.

fir

The first Christmas tree as we know, but still without lights, appeared in Alsace in 1521. It was introduced in France by Princess Helen of Mecklenburg brought it to Paris in 1837, after her marriage to the Duke of Orleans. She decorated a fir tree in the Tuileries.
This tradition became widespread after the 1870 war in the country thanks to immigrants from Alsace-Lorraine widely popularized the tradition of the Christmas tree to the French. During this period the whole country adopts this tradition.

The Christmas Ball

The ball

Christmas decorating Christmas trees originated in Meisenthal Moselle. Traditionally, apples were hung on the tree, but in 1858 the winter was so severe that Apple failed. A glass craftsman Strasbourg had the idea of creating spheres representing an apple and other fruit, to give joy to the feast. The Christmas Ball was born!

The log

The custom of lighting a Christmas log in the hearth, goes back a long time and existed throughout Europe.
Originally, it was a log that was burning on December 24 until New Year's on in the living room, she brings warmth and light to the vigil. One should choose a very large log of wood or an old strain from preferably a fruit tree. In France the custom
said we must place in the hearth as many logs there are people living in the house.
logs must deal with the hands; no instrument that can approach the fire. If fire does a lot of sparks, it is said that the harvest the following summer will be good. The ashes of the log are carefully preserved against the storms, to heal certain diseases and to fertilize the land.

to perpetuate this ritual is that the Yule log has emerged as a delicious dessert that was invented by a baker in 1945.

Santa

The 'birth' of Santa Claus.

In 1863 "Harper's Illustrated Weekly, the newspaper New York, dreamed of a Santa Claus wearing a dress trimmed with white fur and wearing a wide leather belt. The cartoonist Thomas Nast was the author.
For nearly 30 years, Thomas Nast Santa Claus represented paunchy, jovial, white-bearded and with reindeer.

In 1885 the illustrator of this newspaper drew the path of Santa Claus, North Pole in the United States, his residence was officially established ...
A year later, the writer George P. WEBSTER specified that the manufacture of toys and home of Santa Claus "were hidden in the ice and snow from the North Pole" confirming this assertion drawings NAST.

It was not until 1931 ... and Coca Cola that Father Christmas adopts his red suit and white!

Coca Cola Haddon Sundblom asked to draw the old man drinking from Coca Cola to regain strength during distribution of toys. Advertise marked his time by encouraging children to drink Coca-Cola.

Reindeer Santa Claus

Santa has eight reindeer to pull his sleigh. They called Tornado, Dancer, Prancer, Prancing, Comet, Cupid, Lightning and Thunder. The youngest Rudolph, the famous red-nosed reindeer, was born last.

We owe the creation of the Red-Nosed Reindeer to the poet Robert L. May, 1939. Its appearance is justified by the fact that Santa has to face the weather so bad that he might be behind in their deliveries at night. With the nose of the reindeer light, it can navigate the turbulent winter and carry out its distribution of gifts.

Showcases decorated

The first animated showcase attracts Parisians stunned for Christmas 1909: Le Bon Marché, with the help of PLC manufacturers, is discover behind its windows the entire history of the discovery of the North Pole (met for the first time on 6 April this year), with walls of snow, bears that move, animated Eskimos, igloos ...

But basically after the Second World War, from 1947, while France was at peace where people have returned the smile, the animated displays electrically multiply, to the delight of all eyes.

"We spent a whole night talking to Old Bull Lee, for now, saying only that he was a teacher and we can say that he was perfectly entitled to teach because he spent all his time to learn, and things were what he learned that and he felt he was defined as the "facts of life", he was learning not only in the empire of necessity but because it was his taste. He was dragged by her long thin body throughout the U.S. and in his time, in much of Europe and North Africa, just to see what was happening, he had married a White Russian countess in Yugoslavia to make escape Nazis in the Thirties, there are pictures of him when we see the middle of the international gang of cocaine in the 30s, the hair types of extravagant, leaning on each other; on other photos, he is wearing a panama, contemplating the streets of Algiers, and he never saw the white Russian countess. It was derat Chicago bartender in New York, Newark bailiff. In Paris he sat on the coffee table, looking at the sullen face of French who passed. In Athens, he watched his ouzo what people call them ugly pus in the world. In Istanbul, he worked his way through the crowd of addicts and dealers of carpets, in search facts. In English hotels he read Spengler and the Marquis de Sade. In Chicago, he proposed to rob a Turkish bath, was reluctant to just two minutes too long as he drank a glass, has won only two dollars and was forced to take off. All these things he had accomplished for the sole interest of the experiment. Now finally, he studied drugs. They saw him now in New Orleans slip into the streets with shady types frequenting bars and shady. "

(White U)

A house for sister Nobuko and her small daughters Sachiko and Fumiko

There are houses that play host to many stories during their lifetime. These houses host generations of residents, and their uses and habits consequently change over time. Other houses, however, have a history that is dominated by and adapted to a single family and its fate.

Occasionally, a house endures for less than the lifetime of its first owners, wether due to natural disasters, war or some other cause, and such houses usually conceal stories that need to be told.

In 1976, Toyo Ito was a young architect in Tokyo. He had grown up professionally among the most famous and sophisticated Japanese architects ( Kiyonori Kikutake, Togo Murano, Arata Isozaki, etc) and had created a few promising works. By that time he had already opened a small professional studio in his own name, and in that year his sister gave him a task: to build a little house on a small piece of land next to their parents' old home.

For the young architect, the assignment would have probably presented another opportunity to test his abilities in the difficult task of designing a family home had it not arisen from a personal tragedy : his sister Nobuko and her two small daughters (Sachiko and Fumiko) had just lost their husband and father to cancer.

In the wake of this event, Nobuko and her daughters were anxious to leave their luxury apartment in a Tokyo tower block with its views over the city. They were looking for somewhere they could find refuge; they needed a place where they could be together and feel safe - a protected and introverted place in which to regain their strength.

The White U's history began in this way, with its client's desire to "be as close to the land as possible" and to have an "L-shaped" plan that would allow her and her daughters to always be able to look at each other, perhaps through a garden. The house was also born from the way in which a young architect tried to meet these demands: he accepted them entirely, without discussion or mediation. While a sense of discretion often prevails in these cases, and the architect makes an attempt to tone down the client's requests (especially when linked to intimate and private emotions), in this case any notion of "distance", which is often what gives the architect a sense of authority, was entirely absent.

The White U thus had its origins in a space forged out of urgent, symbolic need, a condition to which the architectural response was not the logical composition of functional spaces (the kitchen, the bedroom, the sitting room) but rather the invention of a singular spatial concept: a cold, introverted yet rooted place - a niche-like home capable of protecting the solitude of a family enveloped in the mourning process.

Almost twenty years later, after having become an internationally renowned architect, Toyo Ito decided to tell the White U's very particular story, talking about the first sketches he produced on the drawing table, the tension that existed between the house's interior, which was conceived as an underground, labyrinth-like "tube", and the central, geometric empty space of the exterior, and the gradual creation of the small, cave-like area that enclosed a central patio, which became a kind of suspended space around which the family could gather instead of a garden. Ito has talked about the building process, during which, "every day toward midday", he would observe the builders at work, and about the ways in which he designed the movement of light and shade in the two white corridors and the fading of the sun in the communal space. He has recounted how this isolated, centripetal and introspective structure grew under the watchful eyes of the two siblings, who saw a small, elegant house take form, a horseshoe shape in exposed concrete with a roof that gently sloped down towards an internal patio and clear interiors cut by shafts of geometric light streaming in through skylights.

But Toyo Ito's story, unlike those usually told in architectural accounts, does not stop here. Ito also tells us how in the year after it was finished, the White U came under heavy criticism, and how some critics saw it as a Corbusian departure from the sophistication of traditional Japanese minimalism. He also recounts how this small, celebrated architectural creation was destroyed (definitively) well before its time, just twenty years after its construction. The mother and daughters who had desired and shaped it would also be the ones who decided on its end: one by one, they had left the house, which had "become like a tomb". The first to leave was the eldest daughter Sachiko. Later her mother left, and then the youngest daughter Fumoki moved out.

This was not, however, simply the gradual abandonment of a house. It was the liberating destruction of a space whose occupancy by someone else they could not contemplate: it was the disintegration of a place that symbolized for them the idea of an intimate and radical loss. The end of a particular period in the life of this family implied the abandonment of the architectural form that, for them, represented the transcription of that period in spatial terms.

Ito's story ends with a lucid examination of the fragility of this small and famous work . As he watched it being destroyed, he felt the forces of the metropolis penetrate the small area, where only fragmented of bricks and mortar remained. Ito understood that it had been, above all, an excess of architecture which had led to the death of this place. "Every house", he says, "is born from a dualism between the demand for a deeper form of life, a virtual demand that is often unconscious, and the possibility of staying open to the everyday dynamics of the family and its social rules". Architects need to be able to respond to both these needs, to give space to the symbolic dimension, to that sense on an "other house", as well as to allow the space to adapt itself to the vicissitudes and chances events of our lives. Architects should not try to determine these events or close off the possibility of change. "But the White U", Ito concludes, "ignored this dualism. It only tried to respond to the first questions or needs". These house was overly rigorous, and its originality, too fragile.
