Today’s rapidly changing world calls for entrepreneurs who question the status quo and are able to leverage people, resources, and processes to produce dynamic solutions. As spatial design activities and the global construction industry experience unprecedented transformation, there are endless opportunities for those with the courage to stand up and take them.

In this notable attempt to define the meaning and idea of architecture, José Ricardo Morales proposes the noun Arquitectónica.

This dual role allows him to operate as an agile, sharp-witted columnist and the author of books such as the prescient El fuego y la memoria: sobre arquitectura y energía, Empeños sostenibles, Fracturas y ficciones, La edad del espectáculo, and Tiempo de incertidumbre, as well as the encyclopedic creator of several Atlas de arquitectura del siglo XXI and the instigator of the polyphonic La quimera moderna.
