In the 1960s, Ernesto N. Rogers called for a new consideration of tradition, environmental preexistence, and history as methodological options to enrich and to contribute to the progress of modern architecture. Having a knowledge of history was posited as a necessity to learn how to become an architect as it provided materials that are valid for projects. His works run parallel with the presence of “history as a friend”, and, also, with the difficulties of escaping from historic elements or settings. Our culture is heir to this awareness regarding the continuity of a living tradition and the need for it to be taught and recognized.
