Abstract
This paper elaborates an analytical study on the topic of the descriptive memory in architecture and proposes to understand it as a way of theoretical reflection from two possible approaches. One, centred on the condition of a priori, that is to say, when the memory constitutes a prefiguration of the work of architecture, and the second approach structured from the condition of a posteriori, this is, when the memory takes place as an inventory later to the existence of the work. The determination of these conditions arose from the comparative study of a corpus of 120 descriptive memories of projects, presented to the Colombian Biennial of Architecture in the period between 1.990 and 2.010. These conditions of temporality place the descriptive memory in two different points, two possible fields from which the architect develops and leaves a testimony so much of his ideas, since of his conceptual approaches opposite to the constructed work, and that in short it constitute, his way of expressing a theory of his architecture.
