Structural Flexibility and Space Articulation in Architectural Design Teaching

Structural Flexibility and Space Articulation in Architectural Design Teaching

Borges, Marina Ferreira

Conference full papers:

The separation between architectural design teaching and structural education corroborates the division of labor in professional practice that cannot support the development of dialectical relations between architects and engineers. Thus, the proposal of hybridization between architectural design teaching and structural education developed in this article presupposes a shift from the centrality given to the plastic and spatial principles of the architectural form to the development of approaches that are oriented towards the recognition of the material and constructive questions which aided by the parametric and structural behavior simulation tools allow the development of complex relationships based on tectonic procedural logic.
