Roldán+Berengué in the preface of the monograph written:

"... Our architecture is always a place although these scenarios are in transit. This does not mean that projects are compliant to the context, rather they become partners in that change. The architecture speaks of the places in the same places as they speak through architecture. The architecture is then the intermediary, the third person, the connection. If these conditions are the continuity of quality that we call culture evolves over time. "
