Application of geometry as a support to architectural design in second-level students

Abstract

Introduction: The present analysis starts from the inquiry of the academic formation of the architect and the application of the contents of geometry with the different projects that are dictated in the second semester of the Architecture Major, pretending to overcome the traditionalism of the pedagogical models using the solution to the concrete needs of the context, besides having very clear the investigative work that generates the study, and to show analytical results, and objectives through the integrating project which provides skills and competences to develop in the solution of a problem. Objectives: The objective is to apply the contents of the formative projects through pedagogical activities for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary development in an innovative architectural design based on the origin of geometry as a specific area of mathematics. Methodology: it is oriented to the description and interpretation of the fundamental combinations of the experience and the meaning of the pedagogical value applied in the students, who support the practical exercise and activities in the project process in architecture and urbanism, on the other hand, the methodological approach used was phenomenological-hermeneutic, aimed at the interpretation and recognition of relationships and practices of everyday pedagogy exhibiting and contributing from the educational inquiry and investigative practice. Results: The student is prepared to analyze the context in a specialized and competitive way through the linkage with teaching and the practical work of integration, recognizing the argument that fits with all the characteristics for the elaboration of the design of a cultural center using the contents of geometry when shaping an architectural object with all its components. Conclusions: It was concluded that the practice of integration of knowledge of the different formative projects and geometry in architecture contributes to the professional profile of the architect, enabling the student to create new knowledge and identify the problems of the context and capture in the design of architectural works that are visualized in a balanced and harmonious way.
