The not ion of ?modernity? carries with it the assumption that there is a correct way to operate in the present?anything else risks being labeled outdated o r obsolete. Professional discussions are frequently framed within an uncom promising interpretation of this belief: everything is undergoing rapid tr ansformation\, we face increasingly complex challenges\, and urgency has b ecome the norm. Having defined key aspects of twentieth century architectu re\, this mindset continues to influence contemporary discourse.

While there is certainly some truth to this perception\, there is also ample evidence to support the opposite view. As George Kubl er suggests\, everything we create in the present is essentially a variati on of something from the past. By tracing different evolutionary processes \, we begin to see that everything around us changes at its own pace: some objects and ideas become obsolete almost instantly\, while others endure for centuries. Some situations demand immediate attention\; others are rel entless and continually return.

Even from an un apologetically progressive stance\, Gropius recognized the value of preser ving what is ?essential? to architecture in both technical and material te rms. Alexander rooted his thinking in the belief that there is a ?timeless way of building\,? while Giedion confronted the rise of a ?new tradition? with the concept of an ?eternal present.? Along similar lines\, architect s like Salmona and Souto de Moura have shared a commitment to\, in Apollin aire?s words\, ?prepare[ing] for ivy and passing time\, a ruin more beauti ful than any other.?

Building on these premises \, this issue of Dearq seeks to explore architecture beyond the core assum ptions of modernity?liberated from the urgency that so often shapes it in our time. Instead\, we are drawn to examine distinct aspects of buildings and cities (as much as the processes that give rise to them) that may be c onsidered perennial or timeless.

The issue is p articularly interested in the relationships between materials\, architectu ral elements\, spatial and formal arrangements\, as well as the instrument s and methods we use to describe and classify these connections in order t o better understand what stands the test of time and what does not. In thi s sense\, this issue resonates with the focus on architectural materiality explored in Dearq 10 (2012)\, while also expanding on themes introduced i n Dearq 39 (2024).

The editors of this issue of Dearq invite researchers and authors to share analytical or reflective in vestigations into architectures that\, by virtue of their timeless or pere nnial nature\, lead us to reconsider the technological\, formal\, utilitar ian\, and conceptual roots of our discipline and remind us of the shared h uman essence behind every act of designing\, building\, and dwelling.
