Foreword

Georgică MITRACHE

The 7th issue of Argument brings into discussion themes that can be considered lacking of interest at the first view, but are nevertheless a substrate element in every day architectural practice – as resultant or purpose of it.

As an instrument of exploration and work, the research by project of different work areas still untapped or considered derisory as importance, returns into the contemporary discourse as experiment, or as pioneer acts in related fields. Today, the practices of documentation, analysis and elaboration of responsible architecture able to overcome the inherent difficulties of the current moment of crisis are updated. We are facing a crisis of principles, of means and intentions rather than a crisis of economical capabilities. In what way an active organic process of design can integrate organically analytical aspirations? How these aspirations can generate an architectural practice which appraises the role as a document of any act of building? These are two questions to which the authors of the presentations published under the umbrella of this scientific session try to answer, having as a base their professional experience or their point of view as researchers.
