Description
Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza said that three things were essential to build a town: o The architectural result of a city (a town) is a (plastic) form. o A city (a town) is to be understood as a structured organic whole and not as isolated unrelated forms o The green areas (free) are not leftover spaces but must be considered true constructive elements. The lack of application of such elementary principles as these in the processes of urbanization produces alarming results in the daily planning. The urban planning currently, devoid of substantive architectural values ​​is nourished by a more legal terminology -confused than plastic-precise, producing a restlessness where the normal person is shipwrecked. For example, to project, make or build a street is called `manage a mobility system within the road space, a building of free and accurate form, it is called` building of specific volume and univocal configuration, 'etc. , `invent a language to explain anything'.
