Architectural production is inherently linked to time, whether through the intent to endure or through a planned duration. However, the permanence of buildings is limited: elements wear out, are repaired, and are transformed, while users change their activities, integrate unexpected uses, and adapt spaces to their evolving needs. Similarly, projects with a set duration can extend their utility, travel to new spaces with updated programs, and generate new transactions. Even more paradigmatically, projects and construction are often carried out according to the rhythms of the community rather than a fixed schedule.

Cities are a collection of many things: memories, desires, and signs of a language. They are places of exchange, as explained in every economic history book, but these exchanges are not limited to goods; they are also exchanges of words, desires, and memories. This is how the philosopher Italo Calvino described cities in his seminal work Invisible Cities, noting that we, as inhabitants, construct individual and collective meanings, memories, and histories. Each city is distinct, unique, and unrepeatable in its conditions, dynamics, and potential, making each one a living laboratory for constant experimentation and transformation.

Aesthetics, as a reflection on the image, cannot be understood as an immutable discipline. The perception of aesthetic values—whether related to beauty or ugliness, harmony or imbalance—has historically been determined by social, scientific, or philosophical conditions.

In recent years, numerous studies on architecture and gender have been published, and an increasing number of works are dedicated to women architects and the challenges they face in their professional practice simply for being women.
