The following essay emerges from a certain restlessness that has risen in a period of travel and exploration amongst what would be a "foreign", unknown environment. Once the inevitable conflict with what would have been the methodologies and principles [pre]acquired throughout an academic path, an interval of time and space is created to fulfill such transitional period with a theoretical and practical work of reflection, that dives into architectural production, having what is most proximate and intimate in its origin - the house - as main "object" and instrument of study. Between school and what will be the professional world, this essay pursues a certain clarification among questions such as 'what is a house?', and 'how can we provide such condition for [an authentic] house?', which will search for tools of support where these will be rehearsed, and where a sequence of (un)conscious references is reflected. In an undulate movement, constant and permanent, a project that searches sucessively to question according to a list of variables evolves, and the sistematization of such proccess results into a simultaneous clarification and construction of the problem. It is acknowledged the [limited-]circumstance of a (de)terminable test in a proccess that subtracts the family/ies-house out of its own context, in order to understand the morphologies of such habitational space. A house "for all" pursues a "tectonic" of relations by meaning to act on the coexistence of different generations, genders, permanencies, aptitudes... The evolution of this movement enables the transformation of the object towards a vision of what is [a manifestation of] a habitation problem nowadays, which sustains itself from the most variable possibilities of answer. Through a personal voice and other summoned ones, writings or "talkative" drawings - a course is taken towards a [possible] answer to the family/ies-house as a nurturing enclosure of a creative freedom, but also to a personal significance of house. A third look is built - resulting from the (re)conciliation of a first "academic" one, and the second of a "traveler" - acting as a molder of a position facing the profession, unequivocally bounded to a [sense of] personal project.
