Obstructions, RevistArquis UCR
Spanish, 2012.

This article identifies some of the obstructions found in the way in which we have been reflecting on architecture in the School of Architecture at the University of Costa Rica. Fundamentally, it deals with four obstructions: a certain docility to the teacher; an exacerbated respect for the "right" topics; a certain propensity to overvalue what is deemed "new"; and a tendency to freeze up the places and the functions of theories and design.
