Una historia de cronopios y de famas. Diálogo con Andrés Jaque y Francesc Muñoz

Abstract

Nowadays most of the architect’s eff orts are focused on making real urban refurbishment. In this context, Francesc Muñoz, and Andrés Jaque argue that in the daily fact of living there is a submerged reality that should not be skipped. Th is reality, difficult to quantify, emerges from aspects such as citizenship practices, the economic context or international policies, and determines the success or failure of an urban initiative. The dialogue here presented shows under different languages of expression, that the role adopted by the architect today must be such political as scientific.
