Summary:

Through this book, architect Raúl Huitrón invites us to analyze possible interventions as part of our way of existing and the especially relevant awareness of the use of our resources for the functionality of an integral architecture as a biological system. He centers on the role of architecture through a series of conscious solutions, including the values and variables around the place which is to be intervened. Raúl Huitrón shares with us his experience and innovative solutions carried out at BIOMAH, enriched by his participation in collaborative work teams and by the exchange of ideas in national and international forums. Present in these pages are solutions employed as tools for generating a sustainable culture and the interest of our students in delving into suitable and applicable solutions for the architectonic task.
