这个项目认为建筑是一种物理行为，与Helio Piñón在他的著作《proyectar es construir》中明确指出的相吻合，他指出在建造一个项目时，不仅要参考它的物质构造逻辑，还要参考它的形式逻辑。也就是说，保证材料一致性和预测项目持久性的不仅是建筑技术，还有作品构成元素之间的视觉关系，这也是项目的基本目标。因此，我们在工作中操纵物理特性，既是为了支持和保护自然界的气候因素。在它们的安排中，它们构成了以人类居住为目的的建筑空间。

This project considers architecture as a physical act, coinciding with what Helio Piñón clearly states in his writing “proyectar es construir” where he points out that when building a project, one must not only refer to its material constructive logic but also to its formal logic. That is to say, it is not only the building technique that guarantees the material consistency and predicts the permanence of the projects, but it is also the visual relationship between the constituent elements of the work, which is an essential objective of the project. Therefore, we work with the manipulation of physical characteristics both for support and protection from the climatic agents of nature. In their arrangement, they make up the architectural space for the purpose of human habitat.

因此，对于Hortencia Mata的房子，位于昆卡市历史悠久的Ejido地区的一块非典型三角地，我们制定了一个总体目标，探索并利用钢和板砖的结构和表现力。这使我们能够扩大设计行为的想法，解决和发展项目的不同空间和形式方面。这就是创造灵活的空间和连续的路线，以及通过使用主要材料砖，实现由构成其独特外墙的不同图案配置所创造的表现潜力。

Therefore, for the Hortencia Mata house, located on an atypical triangular lot in the Ejido area, a historic sector of the city of Cuenca, we set out a general purpose to explore and take advantage of the structural and expressive qualities of both steel and panel brick. This allowed us to expand the ideas of the design act, solving and developing different spatial and formal aspects of the project. These were the creation of flexible spaces and continuous routes, as well as achieving, through the use of the predominant material brick, an expressive potential created by the different configurations of patterns that make up its unique facade.

房屋的空间配置与人体直接相关，其规模可以被居住者的感官所涵盖。在这个空间里，有可能对位移进行反思，并确定目光，从而使经验得到加强，与项目的内部和外部都产生关系。当人类在空间中运动时，建筑是有意义的，它通过人类在其中的活动来表达自己，如休息、烹饪、吃饭、睡觉等。对于这一切，我们的目的是让项目有一个定性而非定量的条件，有一定的目的，是可读的、可理解的、可交流的。

The spatial configuration of the house is directly related to the human body, at a scale that can be encompassed by the inhabitant’s senses. A space in which it is possible to reflect on displacement and to determine gazes so that the experiences can be potentiated, creating relationships both with the interior and the exterior of the project. Architecture makes sense when humans are in movement in spaces that express themselves through the human activities that take place in it, such as resting, cooking, eating, sleeping, etc. For all this, the aim was for the project to have a qualitative and not quantitative condition, with a certain purpose, that is legible, understandable, and communicable.
