Por un porvenir de la arquitectura, desde la teoría y la crítica

Francis Fukuyama exposed in his book The End of History and the Last Man (published originally inthe magazine The National Interest, in the summer of 1989 and later by Free Press, 1992), a polemicthesis: the History, since fight of ideologies had ended, with a final world based on aliberal democracy that had been imposed finally after the end of the Cold War. Inspiring byHegel and by someone of his exegetes of the 20th century, as Alexandre Kojève, he affirmsthat the engine of the history, which is the desire of recognition, has been paralyzed at presentby the failure of the communist regime, which demonstrates that the only viable optionis the liberal democracy both in the economic thing and in the political one. It is constitutedthis way in the so called unique thought: the ideologies already are not necessary and havebeen replaced with the economy.So Fukuyama already started. Now everything has worsened. The current economic crisis,which so much affects the architectural production, as well as the architectural reflection andtheory invaded by the immediacy and false criticism that is imposed from the digital medias (blogs and social networks) makes believe that, at least, the function, the formats, and the channels to think the architecture must be updated, for giving the current ones finished. For all this, that issue of DC papers under the title Verb Inflected, will try to offer the new challenges to which it is necessary to face the discipline of the architecture after the end of the postmodernity.
