Completed one year later, the Mies van der Rohe House is filled with rich history and is focused today on organizing exhibitions by contemporary international artists in dialogue to the architecture of the house.

In Praise of Shadow is the title of the famous book by Japanese author Junichiro Tanizaki, first published in 1933. In it, Tanizaki critiques the West's excess of light and the exhibitionism of forms and colors. It is also the title of a collection of poetry by Jorge Luis Borges, in which he reflects on the awareness of his own shadow and the shadow of his work, where he finds his reflection. As he writes in the poem:

For the fourteenth edition of the "Con Lo Que Hay" (With What We Have) Workshop (PUCE-FADA), we invite you to learn by doing as we construct the San Francisco de Miravalle Bajo de Guápulo Community Center. Learn about three different construction systems through three "on-site" workshops and contribute to the completion of the project; all proceeds will benefit the community.

The objective of this workshop is to reflect on our roles as professionals, educators, and students of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Urbanism, and Design. Participants will explore the application of forces and the assembly of structures—ranging from the scale of the human body to large-scale projects—while establishing a fundamental link between the construction process and structural analysis (spatial and organic).
