Geometric Strategies of Urban Configurations

Abstract

This article takes as genesis the logic of geometric shapes in the production of architecture. "Architecture that follows a geomorphic logic should be able to simultaneously define its structural principles and its epidermal resolution in a multi-scalar process." Vicente Guallart. 2009, p. 29. In search of generating other alternatives of geometric composition, a whole process of experimentation, analysis and research is projected, in a series of exercises applied and carried out by each of the students, managing to channel the evolutionary development of new solutions to both the form and structure, as to the spatial management to feel. Although for so many years’ different schools have governed only the traditional management of geometric composition, others on the contrary we left the functionalist tradition, where this time, understand, diagnose and configure each of the direct and implicit factors of the place, leads to the interpretation of each of the languages found. From here lies a methodology capable of addressing the semiological capabilities, starting from the most basic and simple to build geometric logics of constructive and applied complexity. The total capacity of observation is expressed, the existing meaning is transferred in the current constructed forms of an urban place, and here its sensitive condition of perceiving, analyzing and connecting each of the transformative experiences of a social and cultural user capable of energizing any space.
