Resumo
Num Mundo onde tudo é móvel e portátil, onde os estilos de vida se apresentam cada vez mais transitórios, renasce o interesse nas primeiras expressões da construção Humana:
a arquitectura transformável e transportável, que, à medida que o Homem se torna sedentário foi sendo progressivamente substituída por um modelo de construção estática e rígida.
Conceitos como a flexibilidade e a mobilidade têm vindo a ser reintroduzidos na arquitectura,
não apenas como forma desta se adequar às constantes mudanças no tempo e no espaço, mas como estratégia sustentável que lhe confere um carácter de consciência socioeconómica
e ambiental.
A exposição crescente às tecnologias digitais, que têm vindo a emergir como peças
fundamentais na arquitectura ao longo das últimas décadas e que marcam a ascensão de
uma nova área de estudo que alia o pensamento arquitectónico à computação e aos princípios
generativos, leva a uma crescente inclusão destas ferramentas na prática arquitectónica,
enquadrando-as numa fase inicial de concepção, numa abordagem exploratória que visa uma
experimentação fundamentada e sustentada do projecto. A evolução tecnológica permite-nos hoje, uma integração de todo o processo inerente ao desenvolvimento de um projecto de
estruturas transformáveis, numa integração desde o desenho ao fabrico e à construção.
A proposta apresentada encontra os seus fundamentos na reflexão sobre estes
paradigmas que, progressivamente ganham ênfase no campo arquitectónico, apresentandose
uma abordagem a uma capela que contemple o carácter de culto itinerante de Nossa
Senhora do Cabo Espichel. O folding – origami – assume-se como processo de morfogénese,
recorrendo-se aos sistemas paramétricos enquanto processo metodológico e de
desenvolvimento da proposta, conferindo estes facilidade e rapidez ao processo de manipulação e exploração de geometrias e malhas não regulares com peças diferenciadas
através de relações paramétricas, numa exploração que aborda, primeiramente, os sistemas de folding rígido, e de seguida o sistema de membrana tensionada.
In a world where everything is mobile and portable, where lifestyles have become increasingly more transient, the interest in the first expressions of Human construction is reborn: the transformable and transportable architecture, which, as the Man becomes sedentary had been progressively replaced by a static and rigid model of construction. Concepts such as flexibility and mobility have been reintroduced in architecture, not only as a form of suiting the changes in time and space, but as a sustainable strategy which gives it a socio-economic and environmental awareness. The increasing exposure to digital technologies, which have emerged as key players in architecture over the past decades and defining the rise of a new area of study that combines architectural thinking to computing and generative principles, resulting in an increased inclusion of these tools in architectural practice, contextualizing it in a very early design stage, an exploratory approach aimed at a reasoned and sustained project’s experimentation. Nowadays, technological progress allows us an integration of the whole process inherent in the development of a convertible structures proposal, an integration from design to manufacturing and construction. The proposal finds its foundation in the consideration of these paradigms that progressively gain emphasis in the architectural field, presenting an approach to a chapel that includes the itinerant character of worship of Our Lady of Cape Espichel. The folding - origami - is assumed as a morphogenesis process, by resorting to the parametric system as a methodological process and development of the proposal, giving these, ease and celerity to the process of manipulation and exploitation of geometries and uneven meshes with differentiated parts through parametric relationships, a holding that first analyzes the rigid folding systems, and then the tensile membrane systems.
