Can Buildings Quote?
Can buildings quote other buildings as texts quote other texts? This article provides an account for architectural quotation, relying on Nelson Goodman's notion of quotation as a denotational mode of reference. By considering quotation within the broader context of a theory of symbols, not only verbal quotation is explained, but also nonverbal quotation, such as pictorial, musical, and as is argued here, architectural. The various meanings of quotations in architecture are explained also by drawing upon Goodman's theory of symbols specifically, to allusion as an indirect and complex form of reference.

Arquitectura, diseño y computación
El nacimiento de los sistemas de diseño asistido por computador (Computer-Aided Design o CAD, por su sigla en inglés) ofrece a arquitectos y diseñadores un nuevo mundo por descubrir, pues ponen al servicio del proyecto nuevos recursos: el computador aparece hoy en día como una herramienta que facilita el diseño y la construcción. Algunas de las nuevas destrezas que emergen en el ámbito de lo digital son ya parte cotidiana del diseño. Arquitectos y diseñadores capaces de hablar fluidamente los lenguajes de las herramientas, de modificarlas o de crear las suyas propias, tienen hoy una ventaja estratégica frente a sus colegas. Aunque las ventajas que la \"revolución digital\" ofrece en el proceso del desarrollo de un proyecto de diseño o de arquitectura puedan parecer obvias, todavía hay territorios inexplorados en la intersección del diseño y la computación.

From Buildings to Architecture
Buildings are ubiquitous in our everyday lives: we inhabit and use them for practical purposes, and most of us are constantly exposed to the built environment, both urban and rural. Our relationship with buildings, however, is not only practical, but also cognitive. Our aesthetic and cognitive experience may involve any kind of building, from the simplest warehouse to the most sophisticated museum. Architecture is placed in a cognitive context and, to the extent that it functions cognitively, what we learn from buildings may be a relevant and unique contribution to understanding, irreducible to other ways of comprehension. Interpretation is then a matter of fit, \"of some sort of good fit—fit of the parts together and of the whole to context and background,\" as Nelson Goodman says. A building considered as an artistic symbol requires interpretation, and this implies that it can always be misinterpreted.
