The Complex Geometry of Architecture in a Regenerative Approach

Abstract

This article is linked to the AMPARA Research Project (Analysis, PARAmetric Modeling and Digital Fabrication of the complex geometry of architecture: construction of didactic references for teaching design), of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAUrb) of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel). From this perspective, the use of digital graphic representation techniques is related, particularly parametric modeling, aligned with the approach of Regenerative Architecture as a source of exploration of such geometries in architectural design, from its design methodology, which aims to enhance knowledge related to the action of designing based on natural living systems. The study is developed through the analysis and representation of a referential design, configured with a complex geometry associated with regeneration principles. We seek to explain the knowledge underlying this project, based on reference authors and on the development of parametric representations associated with geometry analysis, in order to support formative processes in architecture.
