Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

‪@tiposfera.aldea.social‬, Ya sé que es temprano para empezar el #diariodecosasbonitas pero, Marmo, este micro-ramillete me parece bonito y que merece la pena compartirlo.

Estos días está de actualidad el Mausoleo de Ho Chi Minh, en Hanoi. Un símbolo de la independencia de Vietnam. Un instrumento para blanquear el poder estatal. Hablemos brevemente del uso político de la memoria a través de la arquitectura. Hilo 🧵
