description	The paper presents the different forms of the manifestation of technology both in the process of architectonic conception and in contemporary architecture. Initially, it discusses the fragmentation of the present architectonic production in order to show the different emphases given to the aspects that are intrinsic to the architectonic project, such as the program, technique and place, as well as to the aspect that is external to the design, viz. the one related to the organization of the composition’s parts, i.e. the formal structure. Subsequently, it discusses the complexity of the passage from the moment of the theoretical conception to the moment of decision, using Mahfuz (1995) as a bibliographical reference. Thus it characterizes the complexity of choice and the emphasis given to the elements of architecture. The third and last part of the paper presents the different emphases given to the role of technology in architecture in general. The first dimension presented is the functional one, which can be representative and discrete, being defined by the use and choice of architectonic elements as parts that turn the building into something concrete, without valuing technology as the main element in the composition. The second dimension is the representative one, which values the architectonic elements of structure, solar protection systems and roof as parts that have more weight in the composition. To illustrate the different technological dimensions present in architecture, the paper discusses some projects by Norman Foster, illustrating the process of conception and discussing the way technology is present in his work. Keywords: architectonic conception, technology, project.

O artigo objetiva discutir as diferentes formas de manifestação da tecnologia tanto no processo de concepção arquitetônica como também na própria arquitetura contemporânea. Inicialmente, discute-se a fragmentação da produção arquitetônica na atualidade no sentido de evidenciar as diferentes ênfases dadas aos aspectos intrínsecos ao desenvolvimento do projeto arquitetônico, tais como o programa, a técnica e o lugar, como também ao aspecto externo ao problema de projeto, vinculado à organização entre as partes do todo compositivo, ou seja, à estrutura formal. Posteriormente, é discutida a complexidade da passagem do todo conceitual para o todo construído, utilizando Mahfuz (1995) como bibliografia de referência, caracterizando-se, portanto, a complexidade da escolha e da ênfase dadas aos elementos de arquitetura. A terceira e última parte do artigo relaciona-se à apresentação das diferentes ênfases dadas ao papel da tecnologia na projetualidade da arquitetura em geral. A primeira dimensão a ser apresentada é a funcional, que pode ser representativa e discreta, definida pela utilização e escolha dos elementos de arquitetura como partes que tornam o edifício algo concreto, sem a valorização da tecnologia como elemento de maior peso na composição. A segunda ênfase a ser apresentada é a representativa, caracterizada com base na valorização dos elementos de arquitetura estrutura, sistemas de proteção solar e cobertura, como partes construídas de maior peso na composição. Para ilustrar as diferentes dimensões tecnológicas presentes na projetualidade da arquitetura em geral discutem-se alguns projetos de Norman Foster, ilustrando o processo de concepção e a forma como a tecnologia está presente no seu trabalho. Palavras-chave: concepção arquitetônica, tecnologia, projeto.
