Description: The significant value of contemporary architecture indicates temporal imprecision and a certain eventuality. The veracity of the architecture has been transformed into an exhibition space; it is no longer judged by the actual fulfillment of its promises but by the correspondence between its fantasies and those of the viewer. The visual paradox is established as a space of relations and conflicts where one and the other make up the architectural complexity of our time, since it is located, strategically, in the meeting place between opposite and distinctive categories, a positive and negative conceptual meaning that constitutes the two polarities of the same analytical movement: everything is hidden,  but with the certainty that everything can be investigated.
