Derived from the Latin initium, the term "inicio" (beginning) is defined by the RAE itself as a synonym for "comienzo" (start), which in turn is revealed as the "principle, origin, or root of something." Therefore, a beginning can be approached from two perspectives: the tangible, related to the existence of an order or a series of elements structured according to specific parameters; and the symbolic, representing a milestone linked to a future event that marks the start of an expression of desire. Indeed, one cannot speak of architecture without speaking of desire—one of the materials from which initial decisions are constructed.
