The Form of Conventions

Abstract

We lived in unconventional times, or at least that is what a sector of architectural practice believed, a sector that had been mainly focused on responding to the commissions, the needs, and the demands of an economic model that has driven architects into transforming their working conditions, favoring strategies that have adopted the ways of the generic and the standardized, while reaching a differentiation, socially acceptable, that allows them to achieve a certain distinction within the status quo determined by convention.
