Spaces: Contemporary Settings

by Omar Fuentes, Fernando de Haro

Architecture is a window on an era, a time, a culture and, above all, on circumstances. In a book of authors and their different works, feature an unwavering constant plurality. The raw material of architecture is the very medium human beings live in, the inner vacuum that needs to be construed on the scale of the human body and perceptions, and the outer void that is the hegemony of social life. The outcome is something we see every day. It´s part of our day-to-day lives; these are the meeting points where architecture creates a special ambience for each space.

Contemporary Modern-day commercial architecture has set itself the task of elevating the senses. These spaces are created for people to work, live and have fun in, but they are also places people spend a great amount of time in. No longer does it merely seek to get rid of cold and featureless spaces where practicality is the be-all and end-all.
