THE EXPERIENCE OF THE ENVIRONMENT
-THE PLACE: Torres de serrano
-DESCRIPTION: Torres de Serrano are one of the two fortified doors of the Valencia wall. Formed by two polygonal towers joined by a central body where an arch-shaped door is found that gives the entrance to Valencia
-QUESTIONS:
I . Why did you choose this place?
I chose this place for two fundamental reasons. The first reason is because I’m very close to home, literally I have it next door and I always walk in front of the Towers every time I arrive from college. Second, every time I hang out in Valencia I usually walk to get back home and when I get to the Torres de Serrano, I know I’ve already arrived home, I can relax.
Although I also like the environment and identity that gives Valencia and because it’s next to the river park.
II. What do you think makes you be at ease?
Everything, the Towers present a aesthetic beauty, which gives me a feeling of satisfaction and that walking around gives me tranquility, especially when I go down the river to walk my dogs
III. Is there any disruptive element ?
No, nothing is annoying at all, everything is aesthetically amazing. The only thing can disruptive can be if there’s some litter that people leave, but thats some you can find anywhere
IV. Do you think you’d feel the same way in another space right now ?
No because I live near them and it’s a place I see every day. And since I moved in, I haven’t traveled that much so I haven’t got the opportunity to find a better place.
V. Do you think that the particular conditions of this space may influence its occupants? How?
It is a place of Valencia created to demonstrate Valencia’s beauty and to attract more tourists and remember what valence was in the past. People walk before the towers and are able to contemplate and appreciate its greatness.
VI. Would you change anything?
I would not change anything at all because not long ago they were reformed so now they are in an impeccable state.

THE EXPERIENCE THROUGH TEXTS
-REFLECTIONS OF THE TEXT
We as humans beings have the ability to see, understand and analyze what happens around us. We are able not only to see and touch physically a space but also emotionally to understand the atmosphere it generates, what is happening and to see how it is affecting other people. who react both physically and psychologically to said place generating different sensations in each of the persons.
Although it is a human capacity not anyone will perceive the atmosphere at first, it is the analytics that come to understand and see in what environment they are being able to even detail it in the least detail being able to explain it and describe it and to perceive that other emotions generate the people around.
-RECONSTRUCCION OF AN ATMOSPHERE LIVED IN FIRST PERSON
It was the year 2018
In 2018 I was on vacation in Mexico with my family, we were in a very popular shopping center in Mexico’s capital called Paseo Interlomas. It is a centre equipped with all kinds of restaurants, shops and fun places imaginable. If I had to choose a favorite area of the mall, it would be the entrance to Cinepolis, because there is an ice rink, a recreational area, a great quality cinema (Cinepolis) and tons of restaurants.If you stand at the center of the place, which I do not recommend because despite of everything you are still in Mexico you can watch people enjoying the time and place. See kids laugh in the recreational area, couples on the ice rink holding hands, families entering the cinema, friends eating together in a restaurant, happy vendors because they have customers… It’s quite an experience, because although there are many activities that can be done, all the people there are happy and enjoying a good day.
