Abstract: Architect Ortiz presents a study of the architectural criteria and historical context used to accept or refuse, to canonize or hate the house we live in, rescuing the human side of enjoying our dwellings and offering the architects the possibility of developing a different professional practice based on the relationship-discovery of the radical needs through working strongly with socially determined real problems. "The work was elaborated as a thesis for my master's degree for the School of Architecture of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México between the years 1978 and 1980."-- p. 9.
