EVOLUTION

Architecture has a life, it is born and it grows along with humanity, as it has to evolve to satisfy the new needs and demands of its society. 

Architecture, just like human and other sciences has the feature that when born it grows, it develops along with humanity, as human has used to achieve shelter and also comfort later on. There are several opinions about if its a improvement or a regression, but the fact is that it changes.

In my opinion, this change provides an incredible potential of evolution towards to the improvement and the liberation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The evolution of humanity ending with an architect. It represents the ..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 evolution along with the adaptation of the society.

EVOLUTION SEEN AS “MODERN SUPERPOSITION”

“Building on the built"

The text is based on the modern superposition that has taken place during this 20th century’s architecture. There are several opinions and points of views about it, but for Francisco de Garcia it has been a violent intromission to the historical places, as architecture has subjected itself to agents and processes not pertaining to it, causing the loss of all that makes it a discipline beyond the confines of history and presenting it self as the opposite to the existent.

In addition, the Modern Movement refuses the idea of traditional architecture, by denying the chance to continue building the city as an artistic entity , which leads to an architecture without identity and loss of the compositional coherence. Furthermore, it has orchestrated an obstinate rejection of mimicry, fallaciously identifying it with mere imitation and copy, when since classical Greece it has been necessary exigent in the evolving nature of artistic production.As a result of these conflict, Francisco Garcia defends that modernity is possible with the best contribution morphological combination of old and new, preserving their identities without them coming into conflict. The idea is to make improvements without modifying for modifying’s sake becoming the center of attention. 

In conclusion, a new architecture movement should be born, based on the reconciliation of the historical architecture and the contemporary movement, without losing the efficient methods, superposition of styles, the cultural component and its evolution.
