Activities in buildings

Abstract

At the second semester workshop in the Architecture Academic Program, we solve inherent problems to a buildings life. For this, we have adopted the concept of activity, usefulness, and function as those who allow questioning architectural issues. Nevertheless, at the same complexity level you find the place and technique.

On one side you find the place, the technique, and life conditions; and on the other there is the world of formal logical operations. Therefore, the formal logical world seems to be the point at which the understanding of thé autonomy of architecture lies. Workshop exercises do not ignore the complexity of the architectural project but they have found a wide field of action in the life of the buildings. In order to justify it, ten academic projects are presented.
