		Nude and Naked: Lecture at the MIT	14/05/2013
		On May 7, 2013 at 6:30 PMin the Long Lounge at MIT, Antón will give a lecture with Valerio Paolo Mosco and Nader Tehrani. “Recently we have been seeing the return to a naked architecture in many places: architecture that is stripped bare, wiped clean, anti-decorative, simplified not just in its forms but also in its conceptual machinery. It is a generalized phenomenon, from the bottom up, that makes no reference to a defined system of thought, has no putative fathers and it is not supported by any academic institution. What is certain that the return to nudity (for nudity in architecture is never an invention but always a return) represents a significant break with a past that has been seen the proliferation of works of architecture of quite another kind: dressed up, tending to conceal their bodies as much as possible."
