Resum
There was a time when the dominating necessity marked the path of architecture. After a period of crisis and great wars a new order was born, the machines led the new spirit, it was the moment of construction, of the "ideas set in order, clear and lucid, and with definite desires". The house thus became a machine, a "machine for living". Never had the declared "minimum comfort" been such a good for architecture and human being. However, today we resist stopping here. We are again facing a moment of crisis that provokes the arrival of a new system of ideas beyond the rationality of the machine which yearns for something more. A new spirit for architecture proclaims: «A house is a machine of emotion». The question is: which are the attributes to live passionately, to live emotionally?
