dc.description.abstract	Since the modern age, ‘potency’ has been an attribute associated with the notion of beauty sought by certain architects. Potency is understood as clear and resounding, geometrically dominant, and prevailing over its surroundings. This attribute has carried down to the present as an end in and of itself in works that continued in the tradition of modernist architectural conception and that purport to define contemporary architectural design. However, there are several factors in the present that have varied and prevented ideas of the past from being carbon copied. These factors have to do with th e form’s material and therefore with the appearance and spatial perception of architecture. Lately, potency gels, even beyond its actual force, through the photography of buildings’ exteriors.	pt_PT
