Martínez de Guereñu presents a paper in the University of California at Berkeley

Laura Martínez de Guereñu is going to present a paper in the Conference Spaces of History/ Histories of Space. Emerging approaches to the Study of the Built Environment that will be held on April 30, May 1^st, 2010, at the College of Environmental Design, University of California at Berkeley, San Francisco.

She will explain the goal of the learning process of a theory of design based on historically grounded themes, which encourages interrogating how buildings, cities, and landscapes are continuously transformed by the contingencies of the everyday life. Its main focus is to analyze and discover how a work of architecture was thought in order to satisfy a special demand, how it was adapted to the ideas and circumstances of a concrete time and ultimately, interrogate which its validity is today. It is the necessary base to develop ability for critical analysis and to conceive and to formalize the architectural work.
