Glossary: New terms for construction, indexes fourteen terms that are interrelated and operative, and representative of a sustained inquiry across the body of work by salazarsequeromedina, a studio founded in 2020 through the collaboration of Laura Salazar, Pablo Sequero, and Juan Medina.
 
This glossary begins from a simple position, architecture does not start from zero. It works with what exists: materials, climates, typologies, and forms of life already in place. The terms defined here are embedded in formal and methodological tropes present in the work of salazarsequeromedina, and act as underlying intentions through which the process is manifested across media: from sketches to mockups, from models to built work. They respond to specific constraints and opportunities, practicing in different contexts—from Peru to Spain—with distinct climates, building traditions, and material cultures.
 
These terms are provisional. They may expand, shift, or be revised over time. Their value lies not in their permanence, but in their capacity to remain in use.
