| Summary: | Between 2011 and 2019, the set of Building Structures disciplines of an undergraduate course in Architecture was conducted with methodological experiences incorporating computational structural simulations, summarized here. The disciplines have themes ranging from mechanics and structural simulation to structural design, reinforced concrete detailing, and steel and timber structures. In this experiment, the action research method and some concepts of design science and design science research were used to improve the teaching of structures for architects and incorporate structural design in the early stages of architectural design. The motivation arises from the imprecision and incompleteness of traditional preliminary structural design methods and the disconnection between the structural and architectural space design. Structural conceptions were developed for architectural conceptions developed in Architectural Design classes conducted by architecture teachers. Thus, posing the challenge of considering the structural design associated with the architectural program and the technical feasibility of the structural design, qualitatively and quantitatively. This experience pointed out that students trained in structural simulators designed with a clear and professional awareness of Structural design for Architecture and were able to check structural acceptability accurately. However, so that fullness of transdisciplinary in the building design process can be achieved, the use of these additional resources demands greater integration between the disciplines of structures and those that deal with common contents: mathematics, geometry, programming logic and architectural design. |
