Abstract

The concept of "aporia", from the Greek "aporia", means difficulty, perplexity. According to Josep Acebillo it is "an insoluble logical difficulty that results from the misuse of theoretical concepts." (2007: 86) Furthermore, the author warns us that "they can cause architecture to drift. "(86). There are many interventions in the field of architecture and urban planning that can cause perplexity in the viewer because they ignore the truth and cause confusion between reality and desire. For example, the use of "disguises" to mask what is below. The aim of this article is to explain how architecture uses different types of costumes, distinguish types of concealment and reflect on their use. In addition, we will highlight that some of the categories described carry with them an economic waste that must be controlled in everyone's interest at a time when words like sustainability and savings are a moral have-to.
