This article explores the figure of Javier Carvajal and his consideration of the active willingness of “the other” at the beginning of the creative process, at his conviction that the crisis of his time is the crisis of a man’s abstract model who asks the architects for reborn humanism.
The houses of Somosaguas are exposed as a paradigm of his anthropological concept. In them, the answer requires to structure the plurality of two ways of living in a set with vocation of unity. It is only possible to reconcile opposite solutions through an attitude of dialogue.
The house is the closest space to the human being. The significance of such an essential action as to contain is impregnated by two constitutive poles of human nature: the need for insight, and on the other side the existence of an era, with the others, in the world.
For Carvajal, the footprint of the existence leaves its wound in the territory configuring history, support for creation of a perpetually renovated future.
