This is the age of the fragments&rsquo; -Marchel Duchamp</p></em><br /><br /><p>"Images which are conceived in this manner become models which don&rsquo;t describe but underline resolute conceptual decisions on specific themes. They provide indications, create conditions to reflect upon, they exist as places of debate. Through his reflections the observer becomes the producer of content. Structure, form, space, the necessity to use the architectonic shape as an expressive one,&nbsp; are secondary compared to the collected themes .</p><p>Montage is used as an instrument to take note on ideas, produce a narrative strategy through simple operations: multiplying signs, the exchange of scale, reversals, grafts, superimposition and erasure. Necessary operations to pose relative questions on a project that only at a later stage can be applied to architecture.&nbsp;</p><p>The annotations are the first instrument through which we can put some order within the personal archive.

The intangible architectures that emerge from these urban ecologies create a wider system; an archipelago of enclaves can be found from one place to another, from one epoch to the next one</p></em><br /><br /><p>A big picture on "enclaves and archipelagos as built environment and social realities cities need to ultimately adopt and use these systems in their developmental urban design projects.&nbsp;</p><p>"This is a tale of two cities. One, designed and dreamt by the architect. The other, the result of regional, political and economic border disputes. The intangible architectures that conceptually emerge when we think on the relationship between the physical geography and the human geography, can be found in both cases through the notion of enclave. One, an architectural proposal, well designed and trying to challenge the rules of urban planning on those years. The latter, an example of several worldwide studies where the geopolitical situation provokes the creation of &lsquo;a city in the city&rsquo; &mdash;in Ungers&rsquo; words&mdash; by the enclaves that conforms these contemporary archipelagos of exclusion."
