Abstract

If architecture is a grammar, the new concept of building and living needs to create more technical and formal possibilities that allow everyone to use it -sintaxis- on his own way. Life is a matter of personal diction seeking to be performed. Oh irony!, a conservative ideal of house and garden (also wanted by rationalist architects).

Being a conscious architect means to manage to make formally possible vital projects. Architecture is also a social question? We all accept it. What may not be architecture is a matter of business, and much less a metaphysical question.
