Traditionally architecture has focused its attention in concepts such as structure, form or space, relegating to a second place other issues such as finishings or ornaments, by considering them as “minor” works linked to crafts or even to the feminine. This imbalance, an inheritor of an elitist and patriarchal way of understanding the profession, rewards in contrast other concepts such as high cost, fine materials or structural effort, associating them to apparently “desirable” values like pure, accurate, or even virile. When we decide to use a certain material, or a color, for instance the soft materialities, or the use of ornamental geometries, we are not only offering some certain physical properties to the user, but we are also setting a discussion with the history of architecture or with our society’s symbolic imaginary given to a certain color or material. We understand that architecture takes a key role on the building of fair and democratic societies, in charge of building the spaces for cohabiting and for relationship. Hence our attention on researching in which way our practice can contribute with new tools in this process.
