Resumen:
Sumario:The article aims, in the first instance and gathering a witness of sufficient previous support, to identify the architectural competition as a tool that is born spontaneously, evolves gradually and, as such, is admitted to be imperfect and in the process of improvement. From there, the relevance of the invisible within the creative act is valued and the terms of research and project experimentation and architectural competition are mutually and effectively related. Consequently, it is identified as a prodigal space that encourages innovative conceptual inquiries and as an instrument that allows, with greater freedom and naturalness, to test new projected conceptions with a constant and necessary vision of posteriority. The final characterization of the architectural competition concludes by demonstrating -through the study of some paradigmatic and precise specimens and through their proven close relationship with the ideas of avant-garde and utopia-, the importance that the notion of the future acquires in the discipline.
