The modern world has dismantled the myth of eternity. Today’s building processes tend towards the organic; the materials have a limited lifetime and are subject to unavoidable physical or cultural obsolescence, their decay necessary to keep industry active. The speeding up of these processes raises the question, how does life in the city, which is naturally continuous, relate to its own construction, to procedures that are multiple, intermittent, paralyzing, hidden?

Palabras clave : Architecture - theory; urban demolition; constructions; street-widening; ruins; urban renewal.
