Abstract

Architecture and city are generally considered as an exclusive work of our discipline and profession. This idea is not entirely correct because there is an architecture that arises from the common and the ordinary, a world that as architects we have rejected and ignored over time. This article argues that architecture is an active agent in the social and political, generating conflicts and reactions in its inhabitants who give way to a process of domestication of their environment through the architectural superimposable. We understand these objects as part of our field of study and useful tools for understanding social dynamics such as conflicts of power.
