Architecture, perhaps more than any other discipline, deals with the problem of material organization. That is, the way in which elements are arranged to build geometric organizations. The singularity of these organizations is defined by regulations that determine the ways in which the project is potentially capable of varying. The notion of canon that interests us is not that related to convention, that is, what is canonical by common agreement is not relevant to us. This research deals with the canonical as the possibility of constructing singularity in those works that transcend their time. The canonical as that which determines a problematization of what is considered constant.


Canon Extraño works with projects that, without necessarily forming part of the consecrated works of the discipline of Architecture, present singular complexities. The works studied are not canonical because of their easy identification, their recurring appearance in history books or their award-winning career, but because they emerge as organizations with a more sophisticated singularity that transcends their historical context and time. In this way, the study and intensification of its conditions of singularity is sought, with the aim of arriving at organizations where this strange canonical singularity is explicit.
