Post-minimal-contextualism-critical-modernism Reality
The paper tries to evaluate today’s architecture as part of a ‘star system’ where originality is the main purpose of the architectural object. Upon this it is tried to create a theory based in the loss of part of the individuality of the architect in order to achieve a greater result based upon the coherence of a whole built system: a city, a village, a street, etc. The recognition of a place’s Signs is part of that process, not with the intent of copying the surrounding reality, but to interpret its main features. The resulting depurative process will obliterate those Signs that already have lost their meaning and do not contribute to the recognition of a site’s architecture, to an appreciation that evolves from the large scale observation of the landscape to the detail in architecture. Coherence is therefore the main purpose of the process, whether it’s applied to a historical context, a popular urban settlement or a contemporary neighbourhood.
