Sumario:This essay seeks to explore the current condition of contemporary architecture in relation to the production of commercial architecture. In the confines of this essay, by commercial architecture we refer to that which is produced according to the logics of exchange value and not of use value. In this way, we intend to elucidate the political-economy that underlies in the disciplinary praxis from the examination of the architectural form and the design processes that create it. Thereby we will focus particularly on the architecture of real estate since it is this notion that materializes the abstract logics of capital in an architectural product.Starting from the historical analysis of design culture, a parallelism is drawn between the design processes typical of Beaux-Arts architecture and those that we observe today to finally propose a concept that approximates the way of projecting architecture in late capitalism according to its logic: the capital composition.
