Abstract

This issue of PpA is dedicated to the encounter between architecture and its support plane. It brings together a series of articles and bibliographical reviews that confirm the predominance of the significant qualities of architecture in its contact with the Earth as opposed to those that are purely supportive, thus broadening the scope of the actions carried out on the Earth’s surface, from technique to figuration. From primitive constructions with mythical roots, to the domestic architectures of the 20th century masters, passing through urban operations and precise interventions of an experimental nature—the capacity to transcend the challenge of transmitting weight to the earth’s mass to evoke values related to space and place has been a constant that has produced formal findings of such a figurative force that they have become recurrent architectural types, even when contact with the earth is not the main focus of the project.
