Abstract

Action to address a design process involves countless implementations generate action that, in many cases, end up being similar to other previous years. In the case of Experiential artifact par excellence, predominant in our physical context and own social imaginary of our environment, which is the house, drift relations of functional activities, from elementary, as a specific use, through the composite activity and ending with the complex activity, as full manifestation of the relationship of uses of spaces and elements generate a character or representative archetypal image of the action of inhabiting a living space.

This marked and repetitive, as a phenomenon, process are in the same condition in art and in the same architecture, the only thing that changes is the way it represents and contextualized in direct relationship between nature and implementation on it, generating this performance, the conditioning of the place as a ratio of landscape, represented in the action of the transformation of man on the natural environment, setting the condition of the development of being in context. This action live, leads to define the relations between human beings own means and constantly redefines the value of space, space understood as a container for the life of people who live there.
