El arquitecto como traductor de la complejidad territorial

Abstract

La falta de una noción sistémica en los procesos de proyección de la disciplina, y precisamente, el reduccionismo de la intervención arquitectónica a la adición de elementos aislados que construyen las mínimas relaciones contextuales inmediatas, representa un obstáculo al trascender de los requerimientos técnicos y variables del lugar, a la construcción del territorio. Es por esto, que el presente estudio pretende introducir lo sistémico como alternativa a los procesos proyectuales en la disciplina, y en marco de una perspectiva transdisciplinar, trascender del concepto de ciudad al de territorio; a medida que reflexiona sobre el rol del arquitecto como un agente transformador: Un traductor de la realidad territorial.

Minimalismo modular generativo

“…A partir de las propiedades transformacionales y generativas de la forma, postuladas desde la matemática y geometrías como los fractales (Mandelbrot, 1984) y los sistemas iterados (Lindenmeyer y Presemslaw, 2000) se nos plantean posibilidades de trabajo y modelación digital, basado en las denominadas morfologías de lo amorfo (Cañete, 2016(Cañete, , 2017a2018). Estas morfologías deben ser asimiladas a los principios propios de la arquitectura y estética moderna y contemporánea, como el trazo libre, minimalista y esencial, atendiendo en especial, a la riqueza de su patrones y configuraciones, como a sus propiedades escalares y transformacionales.…”

“…From the transformational and generative properties of form, raised from mathematics and geometries such as fractals (Mandelbrot, 1984) and iterated systems (Lindenmeyer and Presemslaw, 2000), they propose possibilities for work and digital modeling, based on the socalled morphologies of the amorphous (Cañete, 2016(Cañete, , 2017a2018), seeking to assimilate it to the principles of modern and contemporary architecture and aesthetics, such as the free, minimalist and essential line, paying special attention to the richness of its patterns and configurations, as well as its scalar and transformational properties. This is how, in previous publications, university teaching and various visual arts projects have worked on the work and development of fragmentation and scalar growth models, which lead to the generation of modules, plots, landscape, etc., understanding minimalism and complexity, as pairs that come together in the generative process (morphological generatrices) showing diverse possibilities of creative assimilation from architecture.…”

“…This is how, in previous publications, university teaching and various visual arts projects have worked on the work and development of fragmentation and scalar growth models, which lead to the generation of modules, plots, landscape, etc., understanding minimalism and complexity, as pairs that come together in the generative process (morphological generatrices) showing diverse possibilities of creative assimilation from architecture. In this framework, from a vectorial fragmentation process, in the present work it has been proposed as a general objective, to take modular portions of the frames, deepening the general methodology of work, in order to detect modular configurations that can be worked and modeled, according to criteria of change of position and relationship between its parts, generating arrangements and therefore, new arrangements, which introduce, from a series of variations in position (fitting and disengagement of modules), a wealth of volumetric and spatial configurations, which give way to a basic typology of architectural work, especially if the characteristics and geomorphological features of the territory are considered, typical of cities like Valparaíso, characterized by self-construction and spontaneous densification, in places with variable slopes, where they appear as a constant challenge, the design and potential applicability to such conditions Keywords: Minimalism; morphological generatrices; vectorial frames; emplaced spatial models A partir das propriedades transformacionais e generativas da forma, exploradas por meio de matemática e geometria, como fractais (Mandelbrot, 1984) e sistemas iterativos (Lindenmeyer e Presemslaw, 2000), propõem-se possibilidades de trabalho e modelagem digital, baseadas nas chamadas morfologias do amorfo (Cañete, 2016(Cañete, , 2017a2018). O objetivo é assimilá-las aos princípios da arquitetura e estética moderna e contemporânea, como a linha livre, minimalista e essencial, com especial atenção para a riqueza de seus padrões, configurações, propriedades escalares e transformacionais.…”
