What is, eventually, the platform we have to provide ourselves? To dig deep into this question, we decided to analyse spaces created by architects for themselves. The critical reflection on the traditional room of the architect \u2013 how it has been differently understood in contemporary architecture \u2013 triggers our initial deliberations about the role of the architect in society today.<\/p>\n<p>The students, distributed in pairs, analyse residential\/working spaces designed by architects for themselves. Those spaces could be their homes, studios, or both together in a single entity. The selected case studies offer a wide range of architectural statements, spatial approaches, and construction methodologies formulated and tested over the last century. Each pair has to investigate and represent in a section model the interplay between a pair of opposed attributes identified in the case study, such as: inside\/outside, intimate\/extrovert, individual\/common, massive\/light, open\/closed, fixed\/movable, private\/public, etc.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En las \u00faltimas d\u00e9cadas hemos experimentado un cambio relevante con respecto al papel del arquitecto en la sociedad.
