“If one of the greatest responsibilities traditionally placed upon the figure of the architect is the capacity of synthetic action between the conditions of reality and a vision of the world, it is in this sense that prospective recognition of new definitions of our environment acquires special importance, not as a shaping, recreation or reproduction of reality itself, but rather as a prospective reformulating disposition of this reality.” [1]
