INTRODUCTION
"We
are witnesses to the frontieralization of the world, a subproduct of her
gives territorialization of vast human groups. The borders, either expand
or they are filled by bullet holes. Cultures and languages are mutually
invaded. Europe and North America receive daily countless migrations of
human beings, the majority of which are involuntarily displaced. They
are tired travelers, they are dislocated, those of us that remained do
so because we no longer are insatiable anywhere, those of us that have
not yet arrived because we don't know where to arrive, those of us that
no longer can return." We have much to learn from the study of live architecture and the rich and diverse forms of the human settlements. Many artists have understood that man constructs his identity in reference to a specific place and environment. The phenomenon derived from globalization marks the urgency of returning to learning from a profound interpretation of the environment. More and more, the refuge camps, the dissemination of everybody, the human experience of those that don't have homes, the unrestrictive destruction of the environment, the impoverishment of modern societies, and the fratricidal wars, would all seem to indicate that maybe that the only territory that remains for man is his own body.
