Previous literature contains two different points of view regarding the subject-object asymmetry related to the DP head of pseudorelatives (PRs). Some authors claim that the DP head can only be interpreted as the subject of the embedded predicate (subject-gap PRs). Other authors point towards the possibility of finding other constituents (e.g. direct object) in head position (object-gap PR), too. In this paper I claim that there are certain languages that only allow the DP head to be the subject of the embedded predicate, that is, they only allow subject-gap PRs, whereas other languages allow both subject-gap and object-gap PRs. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the object-gap pseudorelative (PR) generalization to account for the cross-linguistic availability of subject-gap and object-gap PRs: the availability of object-gap PRs is subject to object clitic doubling. The structure of this paper goes as follows. Section 1 introduces PRs. Section 2 presents data about subject-gap and object-gap PRs. Section 3 gives some remarks on object clitic doubling. Section 4 presents the object-gap PR generalization. Conclusions and further research issues are presented in section 5.

In this paper it is argued that objects of subject experiencer psychological verbs do not have kind reference, but rather refer to individual object entities: specific individuals, generic plurals, and even entity correlates of a property. We argue that objects of transitive subject experiencer psychological verbs must refer to atoms or sums of atoms, because they presuppose the existence of the Target-of-Emotion. Focusing mainly on data from various Romance languages and Russian, we also argue that the Target-of-emotion of psychological verbs such as odiar ‘hate’ cannot refer to a kind entity, conceived as an abstract individual or an abstract sortal concept, but instead can refer to a maximal sum of individual entities, instantiated through a generic plural.

In 2002, Ryue Nishizawa received the commission to build a house in the special ward of Ōta, a traditional village swallowed by the expanding metropolis. The proposed scheme colonizes the plot with independent boxes and interlocking gardens, allowing the owner to rent part of the property while paying his mortgage. This design strategy, based on a radical fragmentation of the dwelling’s program and on the blurring of hierarchies, is closely linked to Tokyo’s urban context, firstly in socio-economic terms. It also confers a renewed role to the existing network of urban voids from the neighborhood; it invites to a reconsideration of the idea of limit and it challenges traditional spatial binaries like exterior/interior or public/private. Ultimately, this paper aims to show how Moriyama House acts as an active component of the ever-changing city fabric around it, while questioning traditional bonds between home and city in the framework of contemporary culture.

The concept offshore has two meanings; the first on means literally in the sea far away from or at a distance from the coast; and the second one refers to what is made, situated, or registered abroad; especially in order to obtain benefits of lower taxes and costs, or from a less strict regulation. It is hard to notice offshore architectures, either because they remain conveniently hidden or because their existence has been assimilated too naturally. El Ejido in Almería, Spain, is a place blessed with 3000 hours of sunshine a year. This motivates that both, agriculture and tourism choose to settle in it. Campo de Dalías, one of the world's most important intensive agriculture sites, shines like a vast sea of ​​plastic. Tourism and delocalized food production coexist without any contact in this former agricultural colony. The sunshine hours, the immigrant workers and the logistics infrastructure have turned Almería into a participant of the global network. Mobile and seasonal, this highly technological urbanism is extremely complex and very sensitive to fluctuations in world order. These enclaves are areas that anticipate a new form of transnational network of displaced urban spaces.

The awareness of a society in constant transformation and acceleration has been a characteristic factor since modernity. In the realm of housing, the philosophy behind the notion of flexibility is rooted, precisely, on the will to incorporate the variable of time to achieve a suitable adaptation of the space to the changing needs of the inhabitants. Its own condition also denotes an evolutionary nature, closely linked to the transformation of the society (cultural, economical, social, etc.). The main goal of the article, given this nature, is to classify the most significant strategies around the concept of flexibility during last century, in order to broaden its meaning and to encourage original interpretations. We will observe that the dialectic between the determined and the indeterminate shows a tension between the ideals and the real occupation of space, while the initial search for a generic space as ideal of housing is replaced by the reconsideration of its individuality.

The stablishment of the digital technologies and the electronic speed involves a progressive adaptation of multiples everyday aspects to his territory. The city and its architecture aren’t oblivious to these changes and they have to mix its tectonic character with the new technological dimension. The network connections are an epiphenomenon derived from the informatic speed that involves the acceptance of new architectural and urban models, open and digital models removing the orthodoxes and closed ones. This article aims at showing the basic concepts of those ones. For that purpose, we propose a paradigmatic model that describes the links between the speed as a magnitude and the spatio-temporal architectural concept to characterise the architectural models of the current paradigm. That way, in this paper we show the generative tendencies of the architecture and the city from the new fast imperative.

At the dawn of the XXI century, with the technical resources available, it is necessary to ponder on how we understand the city. The means of transportation have shaped cities as an adaptation to the times. Nowadays, this understanding has to be linked to the spatial conception of the project and the large spans, since they constitute the field of experimentation, in which the seeds of a new urbanism is found. Thus, the large spans have to be taken into consideration as a means to achieve the new urban concepts, since they are an indissociable project resource of our time. A brief tour of some projects in recent years can offer us an image of the panorama of change in which we are, and of its feasibility, since each of the project is in itself a prototype of what the city could become.

The lack of a systemic notion in the design processes of the discipline, and precisely, the reductionism of the architectural projects in addition to isolated elements that build the minimal contextual relations, represents an obstacle that goes beyond the technical requirements and variables of the place, to the built up of the territory. Therefore the present paper seeks to introduce the systemic thinking as an alternative to the project processes in the discipline, within the framework of a transdisciplinary perspective, to overcome the concept of city and to initiate a discussion about territory; as it reflects on the role of the architect as a transforming agent: an interpreter of territorial reality.

Paradero 14 of La Florida is a commercial sub-center of Santiago, interchange hub between the center and the southern periphery of the city. This research aims to complement the studies that have been made of the place proposing a systemic vision that understands the different elements that give character to the space used by the users who visit the place. The focus is on the different commercial typologies complemented by transport infrastructures, which, along the historical evolution of the sub-center, have conditioned the intense use of the spaces of Paradero 14. This study seeks to contribute to the investigation of urban sub-centers that define important interchange hubs, and the way in which these places should develop harmoniously with the city and its inhabitants.

The present paper approaches rural spaces with a critical territory-based thinking, exposing the rural space definition intertwined with its implications from a territorial perspective in social inferences. By means of a practical experience, important discernments about the public space in rural areas originate. It is considered that the strategies and definitions developed in the urban space cannot be applied in the rural context, since both spaces present differences that are not only morphological. We propose the recovery of rural spaces as an intangible asset by means of its reinterpretation through its territorial ancestral references. In this way, we plan to begin the discussion about the importance of understanding the social, economic, political, cultural, legal, and geographic dynamics from rural territory in order to generate strategies focused on integral and reciprocal development.
