3. THAT ACCOMODATES
By Tomás Browne Covarrubias
Note: I will attempt to speak through Alberto Cruz’ texts, establishing minimum but necessary links with the aim of articulating the stated words in present time.
“Men inhabits as from the temperate. The woman who chooses the dress that must be worn. Distancing. Not the outfits that come from the snow or from the sand to the sun”. “Architecture, the form of the temperate. Mentioned act happens in the not homogenous space (or border) which is the contrary to gain; as such –No– to the urbanism of planning” . (5) Conceiving architecture as an “accommodation” proposes a radical change with regards to the modern movement’s proposition and the denominated functionalisms. In these architecture is understood as a set of needs and objective requirements that have the necessary potential of “in-forming” the architecture project. As such, for example, the relationship between “form and function” as defined by Mies van der Rohe or the relationship “between the service and served spaces” in Louis Kahn. Different to the before mentioned proposals, “to accommodate” concerns the inhabiting of men, which is permanent. Men remaining at a place, expresses his condition of inhabitant; with his own and irreducible acts it relates to time and place, to his act of inhabiting; that marks an implicit temporality to his day to day. Accommodate, it seems, is a manifestation of an ability that first points out to the human creative condition. The 2nd to the 8th display of the exposition that celebrated the twenty years of the College of Architecture of UCV in the Fine Arts National Museum stated: “A way of thinking the oriented extension that accommodates Architecture co-generated with Poetry. Why? Because word is inaugural, it takes, gives light, says «pietas» (Virgilio) or extension. «As such mercy, which is also the open extension to do our world, exceeds all disillusion or hope and forms our discretion». (Ode to K). How can it not be, if architecture is to do: Luxury, miserable, high, low houses, public buildings, hospitals, roads, bridges, gardens, roads, etc.., all with modern, semi-modern, ancient styles, with air of airports, conference rooms, etc.

Description:
What difference is there between an architect and an engineer or builder or carpenter or good mason? None. Unless the architect is an “interior and exterior decorator “. In which case he is expendable . But men is unthinkable without word and without position. (Dumb deaf, blind person, single brain, would have position and word – God knows which - but would have it.) Position and Word. Architecture and Poetry. The courage in human condition, which we will also call virtue, appears necessarily. Their appearances open a field in which human offices and arts are formed. This is the way, perhaps, as men recognizes that something is an inclemency before which he must respond. For example: in a cold place people walk barefoot. There, white signifies mourning and here it is black. Over there, there was or there is polygamy, there was or there is monogamy, etc. These are not better than others. They are different and configure themselves in those ways, according to the field opened by courage or virtue of the human condition.
