Architecture faces technical and aesthetical problems since it exists in the space between Engineering and Art. This situation turns Architecture into an endless task, a science made in a ceaseless dialogue between two traditional antagonistic values. Art and Engeneering seek to base Architecture in foundations that are outside its own concepts, either when they try to base it in creative improvisation of individuals in their urban lives or when they try to put its roots in several different cognizances about humankind to which it should respond. This introductory essay intends to take us to the experience of inhabitation which constitutes the ontological "region" where this science/art departs from.
