The impact of the use of representation systems in general, and the dihedral system in particular, on architectural thinking has historically remained an underexplored topic in architectural theory. It is only in recent decades that the voice of important critics such as Stan Allen, and above all the seminal research of Robin Evans, has focused attention on how much the use of orthogonal planar projections —plan, elevation and section— conditions, rigidifies and "cubifies" architectural thinking. 

It is in the context of this particular revision of the relationship between systems of representation and thought that the work of Enric Miralles takes on even greater singularity. Miralles tried from the outset to fragment the constrictions of the dihedral box. "I always project from plans, never from sections or three-dimensional configurations", he said in a famous interview published in 1995. The present text is inserted within this sentence and takes it as a hypothesis, exploring Enric Miralles' particular redefinition of the use of the dihedral system.
