Regreso al humanismo en la arquitectura.

Both the theory of architecture and the architecture of theory can provide numerous examples to back up view that language and architecture have become so intertwined that they seem to be a single indissoluble unity. From example, in Vitruvius' legend about how architecture came into being, the people gathered around the fire to warm themselves discovered both language and building in one act, since the fireplace represents the beginning humankind’s settling in one place and forming social groups; it represents the need for a dwelling place and communication. Thus, for Vitruvius, architecture and language belong to the same stage in humankind's evolution, almost as in Heidegger's rule of three “Building, Dwelling, Thinking”, Vitruvius saw the path from the primitive hut as proceeding “by degrees to a knowledge of the other arts and sciences” and thus to humankind's cultivation, its evolution “from a savage to a peaceable, civilized life”. Heidegger's remark that it is impossible to say which is older “sentence structure” or “structure of things” simply expresses in different words the anthropogenetic parallels between building and speaking. People use language to “build” an intellectual house for themselves, to construct their theories and moral codes. For Heidegger, the home of thought was language and essentially comprised “learning to dwell [in it] through use of language”.
