[en] The scene of the postwar era deϐined the way of proposing architecture of various characters involved in this situation. Young architects were confronted to a World that had to change and their only tool to make this possible was the drawing. Being able to express what the new generation of architects felt, was fundamental for the technological, social and cultural development of architecture. The architects that begun to create speculative architecture, would shortly start to build and develop a need to evolve the technology in order to materialize the projects that they had in mind. Although, not every architect of these avant-garde group was interested in building: this was the case of Lebbeus Woods, who was interested in proposing a change in the way of conceiving architecture, he would draw speculative and experimental projects that would transcend the boundaries of architecture. The present investigation shows the relationship between the philosophy of Lebbeus Woods, his architectural project and how it relates to speculative and theoretical architects, who would later build the architecture that previously could only be seen on paper. The wealth of ideas left by Lebbeus Woods and other speculative thinkers and architects should not be analyzed only from a constructive point of view. The true richness is probably found in the approaches to ways to create or ϐind solutions. In this way, the theories, philosophy and ideas of Lebbeus Woods and the other speculative architects will also be analyzed from another perspective. Architects such as Zaha Hadid, Diller Scoϐidio + Renfro, Archigram, Daniel Libeskind and other exponents are investigated and related to Lebbeus Woods in a work that encompasses the theoretical, pictorial and built work pf these architects and thinkers. Applying the theory of Lebbeus Woods through these and other references, analyzing the possibility of the materialization of an architecture that, in the 20th century, would be considered not only technically improbable, but also challenging of the proposals of the modern movement, academia and the established rules.

[es] La escena de la posguerra marcó la forma de proponer la arquitectura de diversos personajes implicados en esta situació n. Arquitectos jó venes se veı́an enfrentados a un mundo que tenı́a que cambiar, y su ú nica herramienta fue el dibujo. Poder expresar lo que sentı́a la nueva generación de arquitectos fue fundamental para el desarrollo tecnoló gico, social y cultural del campo. Los arquitectos que empezaron plasmando arquitectura especulativa, empezarı́an a construir y darı́an paso a una necesidad de innovar la tecnologı́a para materializar los proyectos que tenıá n en mente. Sin embargo, no todos los arquitectos de esta época estaban interesados en construir: éste fue el caso de Lebbeus Woods que, interesado en proponer un cambio en la forma de concebir la arquitectura, dibujarı́a proyectos especulativos y experimentales que trascenderı́an los lıḿ ites de la arquitectura. La presente investigació n muestra la relació n entre la ϐilosofı́a de Lebbeus Woods, su proyecto arquitectó nico y cómo se relaciona éste con arquitectos especulativos y teó ricos, que posteriormente construirı́an la arquitectura que antes solo podı́a verse en papel. La riqueza de ideas legadas por Lebbeus Woods y otros pensadores y arquitectos especulativos, no debe ser analizada solo desde el punto de vista constructivo. La verdadera riqueza probablemente se encuentre en los planteamientos sobre las maneras de crear o encontrar soluciones. Por ello, las teorı́as, ϐilosofıá e ideas de Lebbeus Woods y los otros arquitectos especulativos serán analizadas también desde otra perspectiva. También, se explora el trabajo de arquitectos como: Zaha Hadid, Diller Scoϐidio + Renfro, Archigram, Daniel Libeskind y otros exponentes con Lebbeus Woods en un trabajo que abarca la obra teó rica, pictó rica y práctica de estos arquitectos y pensadores. Aplicando la teorı́a de Lebbeus Woods en éstos y otros referentes, analizando la posibilidad de la materializació n de una arquitectura que, -en el siglo XX- serı́a considerada no solo técnicamente improbable, sino que desaϐiante a las propuestas del movimiento moderno, la academia y las normas establecidas.
