Cerámica. La materia protectora
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Fernández-Vivancos, E. (Enrique); De-Miguel, E. (Eduardo)
This article reflects on the material condition of architecture, understanding matter as the means of expression of ideas and the element which is capable of transforming them into a built construction. It focuses on the study of ceramics and displays it as a protective component that has come across its unique capacity for formal, functional and symbolic adaptation, which has enabled it to provide a contribution to the solution of new problems or to propose innovative approaches to its use. Through a number of visionary procedures which have been conducted with these materials since the end of the 19th century, and based on the possibilities of technology, its intelligent and rational use, its availability for recycling and the value of tradition, our aim is to provide an analysis which will help to conceive sustainable solutions from the same innovative force in order to tackle the major challenges and global commitments which have been undertaken.
