Abstract

Architecture is at the service of man and its environment. Architects should generate human spaces: homes, schools, streets parks, cities “at the height of men”, spaces that are also able to generate empathy with the rest of all living beings and the whole planet. Towns are the palimpsest of generations: our work begins with tuning our eyes, a certain exercise that allows us to unravel that reality and then respond to it. Even though a certain contemporary confusion between design and architecture has led to the development of buildings outside the place they occupy. A sort of false monumentality confuses the size or the budget with dignity or memory.
