Del microscopio electrónico a la estrategia digital en arquitectura

Del microscopio electrónico a la estrategia digital en arquitectura

Navarro, Diego; Estévez, Alberto T.

Full Article:

The knowledge of when the amorphous masses of cells organize themselves into a first structural level is relevant for the architect. The architecture must also attend structural and economic stresses, following efficiency, as living beings do: something that we can learn from nature ("biolearning"), although that level can only be reached with microscope. So this becomes a useful tool for architectural research. Examples of this are presented here, seeking first to discover, analyze and evaluate microscopic structures of plants and animals. On that knowledge we can make emerge the digital design of real architectural projects, using computational strategies, also morphogenetic.
