| | “...BETWEEN ADOBE AND STAINLESS STEEL” |
 | | The systematic adoption of values and forms imported from other cultures and societies, climates and technical environments have created, and is still creating, aberrations and imposing or trying to impose, a spacial discipline and architecture that, in many cases, agravates the already dramatic conditions of life of our urban populations. |
 | | The dinamic character of the recent cultural transformations in the region, and their consequences, are unique both in the scope and in the speed with which large masses of population are brought from a pre-industrial and tribal culture into the world and the material values and tecnology of the age of comunication. |
 | | The environmental characteristics and the dangerously menaced and fragile ecosystems of the region are, here more than in any other region, conditions that the planners and the architect must know in depth and consider as a major concern when he defines the use of the space and determines technical options. |
