Resumen:
Sumario:The approach of this paper is theoretical and critical. Through an analysis of key authors and concepts, a reflection on complex systems and their relationship with architecture is constructed. In addition, the importance of critical consciousness and complex thinking is considered. This analysis is complemented with questions about the role of the architect and architectural education in Latin America, seeking to link theory and praxis in a situated context. A paradigm shift is proposed in the theory and practice of architecture, oriented towards a critical and reflective consciousness that recognizes its transformative role, seeking to develop a theoretical approach to architecture from the perspective of complexity, integrating anthropological, social and cultural dimensions from a Latin American perspective.
