What happens when the reality of an edifice or a work of art becomes subject to reconstruction? This essay makes the argument that architecture can continue surviving not as an object –a building– but rather as a document, a story. Told through the dilemma uncovered in a letter from Margot Wellington to Gordon Matta-Clark, this essay examines the relationship between the archive, architecture and the arts. In this sense, the temporality of architecture is put into question, for its history can be reproduced and recreated through the documents and papers held in the archive, making us wonder: which came first, the building or the document? ¿Qué pasa cuando un edificio deja de existir? ¿Qué pasa cuando la realidad sobre un edificio o una obra de arte se convierte en objeto de reconstrucción? Este ensayo argumenta la posibilidad de que la arquitectura ya no sobreviva como objeto –edificio– sino como documento, como historia. Contado a través de un dilema desenterrado por una carta de Margot Wellington a Gordon Matta-Clark, se presenta la relación entre el archivo, la arquitectura y las artes. En este sentido, se pone en duda la temporalidad de la arquitectura, ya que su historia puede ser reproducida y recreada a través de los documentos y páginas que se encuentran en el archivo, lo cual deja la pregunta abierta de qué fue primero, el edificio o el documento.
