Defining the architecture of the future is, at least, as difficult as defining the architecture of the present. It implies defining the future itself: its cities and its people. We could have guessed utopías, but we feel that this project has to do with attitudes: not regarding everything which is still to come, but all that is happening right now. Our house of the future is that of our nearest future, that of this very moment, that of the climate change and that of everywhere. Because the architecture of the future will have to rise in gaps; filling cities, among adjoining walls or peripheral areas. It will need to adapt to neighbourhoods with their own features or proclaim their own. The architecture of the future, in short, will need to be grouped and ungrouped, it will have to add value to its environment and to itself. Out of a single cell, we create a space. And out of every space created, we get a dynamic. A building which is also a park, a laundry or just some rest. Somewhere in which a minimum is guaranteed even when everything is defined as a hypothesis. A shelter where technology provides support and puts new spaces forward; a private and public house, in which, paradoxically, arquitecture keeps on dealing with the same ideas which has always spoken about. Because our future is carrying on with the old search for ensuring happiness for everybody. And our project, the desire for providing a worthy house.
