Brain Racking Riddles

tectonics - the archetype of the project

the tectonic significance of which starts from his word of Greek origin tekton , whose translation means manufacturer, but from where he stands out because it is not conceived as a set of what concerns the physical construction of a building, but as prototype, archetype , pre-form, that allows us to generate a pattern which is then translated based on the individual sensitivity (1) . For tectonic means so that the previous phase to a spatial unit itself, which should provide meanings to the signs found within the area. Boetticher is similar to what defines " kernform ," a term used to call the wooden temples in ancient Greece, before they would lose their only constructive way and static, even dedicating "decorum" and "all 'beautification "through the use of marble as a material (the term coined for this phase is" kunstform ) (2) . Qundi this is the transition from having to perform, in which we must begin to provide value and expression to research carried out, then transforming them according to our type of architectural language.
