Abstract
This article establishes a comparison between two architects of the 20th century and their particular background and training. Both develop their main profession achieving international recognition that remains years after his disappearance. They have been able to focus their assignments in the field of architecture and design in a similar way, extending concepts of the discipline itself such as construction, materials, function, utility, ... Applying the meaning of the word «Project» in a global way to all its production. We will discover that the similarities in the paths that run throughout his professional life can be responsible for his particular way of understanding the craft of the architect. In particular, we focus on the field of furniture design, and the unique look of each, to gain a better understanding of some of these relationships.
