Using three cases reviewed in three stages: to admire, to listen and to dwell, these concepts will be reviewed and will be implemented in three locations, three programs and three different types of people. The proposal is to link theory and practice of architecture aspiring to configure from static places ecstatic places, places seeking ecstasy, which illuminate when in time, opening the possibility of a coexistence of inhabitants, project, context and city.
