ARCHITECTURE AS A TECHNIQUE

The technical dimension places architecture on the border with the arts, goes beyond individual capacity and requires programming for its execution. It is a collective work.

WHERE DOES ARCHITECTURE COME FROM?

Architecture arises from a need, from a problem that insists on change.

We can think many things about architecture, imagine for how many years architecture has existed or how it emerged or where architecture was born, but I think that everything that surrounds us, our environment, our day to day and our ancestors was based on supplying basic survival needs and this is how the cave in primitive times became the refuge for the first men.

Over the years, technology, the great advances of humanity, the changes that man has faced, the need to relate to others and to the environment have allowed us today to have developed cities, some more than others, with great architects and people specialized in the city, housing, urban development, structural, construction, design and among many other areas that architecture allows us.
