“Most people think of architecture as a very concrete and material medium; but in fact architecture is also one of the most complex perceptual medium–it is constantly changing, constantly moving, and is constantly asking to be experienced in time. In the three essays contained in this book–“Of Mirrors and Ashes”, “Architecture’s Appearance and the Practices of Imagination” and “Materiality of Figure, Figures of Materiality”–Hays offers a more robust way of perceiving architecture–a way of conceiving it in its richness and complexity and also its social importance. As the author points out: “Architecture is a fundamental human postulate. It is something that we need as a society, as a collective group, to understand our place in the world. And what this book does is offer examples and models of how architecture helps us to engage the world.” La mayoria de la gente piensa en la arquitectura como un medio muy concreto y material; pero en realidad la arquitectura es tambien uno de los medios perceptivos mas complejos: esta constantemente cambiando, constantemente moviendose, y esta pidiendo constantemente ser experimentada en el tiempo. En los tres ensayos contenidos en este libro – “De espejos y cenizas”, “La aparicion de la arquitectura y las practicas de la imaginacion” y “Materialidad de la figura, figuras de la materialidad” – Hays ofrece una forma mas robusta de percibir la arquitectura. Una forma de concebirla en su riqueza y complejidad y tambien su importancia social. Tal como indica su autor: “La arquitectura es un postulado humano fundamental. Es algo que necesitamos como sociedad, como grupo colectivo, para entender nuestro lugar en el mundo. Y lo que este libro hace es ofrecer ejemplos y modelos de como la arquitectura nos ayuda a incorporar al mundo”.
