Paint is synonymous with color, even when it is white. It is the simplest way to restore and correct imperfections on any surface, whether interior or exterior. Without detracting from this significant aesthetic benefit, paint also possesses composition-based properties that turn an attractive, well-finished project into a healthy building—one with a lower environmental impact throughout its life cycle.

Since the publication of "Popular Overflow and the Crisis of the State: The New Face of Peru in the 1980s," the ideas presented by José Matos Mar have been fundamental to understanding 20th-century Peru. Beyond its academic value and conceptual argumentation, "popular overflow" became a reference framework that accompanied and shaped public debates and much of the academic analysis regarding rural-to-urban migration, the explosion of the informal economy, the accelerated expansion of cities through informal settlements, and the new urban culture during the second half of the 20th century. These processes, grouped and partially interpreted under the label of "popular overflow," have defined the urban reality of contemporary Peru.

"For Mies, modern architecture in the age of industrialization required a renewal of the art of building from within. This could not be achieved by inventing a new formal language, nor by turning architecture toward technology, as many of his modern colleagues assumed. In his view, the modern architect had to recover the intrinsic value of architectural phenomena and fuse them with new life, rather than abandoning architectural values in the name of a new era. From this perspective, Mies combined, for example, classical monumentality and modern transparency, using marble or travertine in combination with modern steel and glass construction.

Mies’s attempt to explore the architectural potential of modern steel construction and the language of formal abstraction was not dedicated to rationalization, but to a new measure of spatial freedom. To achieve this, in the late 1920s, Mies developed his concept of the dialogue between opposites and their morphological transformation, brilliantly implemented in the 1929 Barcelona Pavilion. Later, in his American work, Mies transformed modern steel construction into a classical tectonic framework for an open, column-free space." - Fritz Neumeyer
