Below will be announced some concepts about keywords that lead to the understanding of the integrating project.
Bioclimatic
Bioclimatic architecture is the one that focuses on the design and construction of buildings taking into account the climatic conditions of the region or country in which it is being built, and also focuses on the use of available natural resources (sun, vegetation, rain, wind) to reduce as much as possible the environmental impact generated by construction and energy consumption.
Example: He uses sustainable materials, renewable energies, water recycling systems ... Which allows the maximum energy rating and savings in electricity consumption of up to 70% and in water of up to 35%, compared to a conventional home.

Bonding
Its objective is to establish strategic links with the public and private sectors, through programs and projects that promote and strengthen institutions and increase their competitiveness through a committed and responsible interaction.
Example: To facilitate the use of the spaces, the kitchen area was linked to what comes next to the living room and dining room.
On the other hand, it is linked to the terrace.

Comfort Zone
The comfort zone in terms of psychology is a mental zone where there is no sense of risk. The comfort zone is a state / place in which psychologists recommend being to control situations of stress or disorientation.
Example: Leaving the comfort zone to reach the next learning zone where new things and situations are observed, experienced, compared and learned. In this area are travel, meeting new people, trying a new food, among other things.

Concrete walls
They are economically viable up to 8.00 m in height, but this technique is one of the simplest in its construction process, since it is a common practice throughout the world for the stabilization of slopes and embankments.
Example: They should be arranged in each direction so that the sum of lengths in one direction is similar to the length in the other direction. In this way, it will be easy to meet the resistance requirements in each of the orthogonal directions.

Cross ventilation
Cross ventilation in architecture is one of the ways to use the force of nature to benefit a harmonious and efficient structure design.
Wind is one of the main elements to consider in any design of structures and buildings.
Example: If the openings on your property are at different heights, cool wind enters the lower window and blows the hot air into the upper window. This is because the colder air is denser and therefore heavier than the warm air that rises and is removed through the highest opening.

Detail
Part, fact or circumstance that contributes to form or complete a thing but is not indispensable in it.
Example: Other details on the new vehicle include the tilt of the windshield and the frameless windows.

Distribution
It refers to the distribution of architectural space, that is, to the way in which the space must be developed so that each of its parts fulfills a certain function within the design.
Example: The distribution of the rooms in the house allows good air circulation.
en: Distribución
Interiors
Interior design or interior design is the project discipline involved in the process of forming the experience of the interior space, with the manipulation of the spatial volume as well as the surface treatment.
Example: The combination of colors plus the furniture make a pleasant sight to those who enter.

Level
Height to which a thing is located, or to which the surface of a liquid or the highest part of a set of piled up things reaches.
Example: The house has three levels.

Lighting
Lighting is the action or effect of lighting. In the art it refers to the set of devices that are installed to produce certain lighting effects, both practical and decorative.
Example: Large windows arranged on two floors, allow interior lighting.

Modern
It is directly related to the period, time or period to which it refers or a current or recent time. Allusive and concerning the historical era of modernism. Opposite or contrary to the classic or old and established.
Example: That watch you wear is not modern but it has its charm as it is a family heirloom.

Nature
We usually think of architecture as buildings alien to a natural environment; while nature involves open fields and forests. There are several ways to integrate nature into architecture and vice versa. It's not just about how it looks, but also the effects that natural and man-made elements can have on people.
Example: Man's relationship with nature and architecture with the landscape is continually renewed, and architecture built within the natural landscape represents a certain kind of poetic exploration, as well as a renewed perspective on a human scale. The current architecture in the landscape is the product of a specific vision of the relationship between human beings and nature.

Needs
Architecture responds to the most basic needs of human beings. It provides both protection from the elements of nature, as well as spaces for passion and play. Architecture marks the threshold between nature and culture, it is the position of humanity in the world. Architecture is the history of human lives and the development of society, of economic, social and cultural relations.
Example: People need to have a space or spaces which feel comfortable and promote healthy coexistence.
en: Necesidades
Purism
Ideological current within a science, art or practice that defends its purity.
Example: He collaborated with the great masters of architectural purism.
en: Purismo
Regulation
Set of rules or norms referring to a certain thing or activity.
Example: Other products such as those derived from cocoa or chocolate will have new regulations on their packaging, labeling and labeling.

Retirement
Retirement is the administrative act by which an active worker, self-employed or employed, requests to pass to a passive situation or inactivity after having reached the legal age to do so. Also, it can be caused by serious chronic illness or disability.
Example: He had some savings to spend a comfortable retirement.

Safety
Security on a daily basis can refer to the absence of risk or to trust in something or someone. However, the term can take different meanings depending on the area or field to which it refers in security.
Example: It is good to be confident.

Shape
It is the point of contact between mass and space. The architectural forms, the textures, the materials, the modulation of light and shadow, the color, everything combines to infuse a quality or spirit that articulates the space. The quality of the architecture will be determined by the mastery that the designer displays when using and relating these elements both in the interior spaces and in those that surround the buildings.
Example: The generation of a visual expression to analyze and communicate the organization of the material elements corresponds to an inherent task of the architect; It is a process that allows identifying and modifying certain components and key aspects of the project.

Steel
Steel is an iron alloy with an amount of carbon that can vary between 0.03% and 1.075% by weight of its composition, depending on the grade.
Steel preserves the metallic characteristics of iron in its pure state, but the addition of carbon and other elements, both metallic and non-metallic, improves its physico-chemical properties, especially its resistance.
Example: In everyday life we find steel in containers such as cans for preserves or drinks, or cans for paints, fats or solvents.
It is also an important element used for common housing structures and in much of modern buildings.

Steel beams
Steel beams are one of the favorite materials in different construction projects, as they have wide applications and are included in almost all structures.
Example: Over the years it has been possible to perfect the elaboration of beams. Thus, iron and steel have been used to make beams since the industrial revolution, because they have a greater resistance than wooden or concrete beams, and they tend to have a longer life.

Sustainable
It is the creation of habitable spaces, both from the design and the building, where the criteria and premises of sustainable development are applied, so that in it the natural, economic and human resources are managed in such a way that the environmental damage, energy costs and water consumption; The foregoing allows, consequently, to achieve an improvement in comfort inside the building and, likewise, to respect the immediate environment, that is, the building site or place.
Example: Create projects that help reduce the environmental impact of construction and urbanization, save natural resources, improve comfort, inside and outside buildings, and contribute to sustainable development in the region.
