Foldings, unfoldings and refoldings. Pedagogy for the project and instruments of ideation

In last decades of international architecture, different contemporary architects (Libeskind; Rem Koolhaas; Herzog and Of Meuron; Toyo Ito; UnStudio; NOX; Madridejos-Sancho) have graphically presented buildings and architectural projects on the basis of a two-dimensional unfolding of three-dimensiona...

Didáctica proyectual e instrumentos de Ideación Chiarella, Mauro In last decades of international architecture, different contemporary architects (Libeskind; Rem Koolhaas; Herzog and Of Meuron; Toyo Ito; UnStudio; NOX; Madridejos-Sancho) have graphically presented buildings and architectural projects on the basis of a two-dimensional unfolding of three-dimensional folded surfaces. The two-dimensional constant and dynamic projection of a spatial three-dimensional situation has been argued from simple spatial-temporal allegories of the Architectural Project up to new developments with non-conventional instrumental resources, generating innovative structural, formal, spatial and technological solutions. Although these valuable individual experiences have contributed positively to the contemporary discussion, at the practical level they have not represented generalized strategies that can be transferred to the professional practice and to architectural education.This article uses results of more than 10 workshops (with Unfolding and Folding methodologies) developed in Chile, Argentina and Brazil to build up a pedagogy for the project that makes it possible to investigate the spatial and material properties of folded compositions in Architecture. It proposes to review and update project instruments through the incorporation of Parametric Design (2D generative patterns); 3D origami software and machines of Digital Manufacturing (CNC and Laser Cutting).Key words: folded compositions, pedagogy for the project, parametric design, digital manufacturing. En la arquitectura internacional de las últimas décadas, diferentes referentes contemporáneos (Libeskind; Rem Koolhaas; Herzog & De Meuron; Toyo Ito; Un Studio; NOX; Madridejos-Sancho) han presentado gráficamente obras y proyectos arquitectónicos a partir del desarrollo bidimensional (unfolding) de superficies tridimensionales plegadas (folding). La proyección bidimensional continua y dinámica de una situación espacial tridimensional se ha sostenido desde: simples alegorías espacio-temporales del Proyecto Arquitectónico hasta desarrollos con nuevos recursos instrumentales, generando soluciones estructurales, formales, espaciales y tecnológicas innovadoras. Estas valiosas experiencias individuales, si bien han contribuido positivamente al debate contemporáneo, a nivel práctico, no han constituido estrategias generalizables y transferibles al ejercicio y a la enseñanza profesional. La Investigación utiliza el resultado de mas de 10 workshops (con metodologías de Unfolding y Folding) realizados en Chile, Argentina y Brasil para desarrollar una didáctica proyectual que permita indagar sobre las propiedades espaciales y materiales de las composiciones plegadas en Arquitectura. Se propone la revisión y actualización de los instrumentos proyectuales a través de la incorporación del Diseño Paramétrico (patrones generativos 2D); software de origami 3D y máquinas de Fabricación Digital (CNC y Cortadora Láser).Palabras-clave: composiciones plegadas, didáctica proyectual, diseño paramétrico, fabricación digital.
