  Abstract:

  Effective natural ventilation is subject to the ambient wind flow, as well as the conditions of the micro-climate and the geometry of the built structures in the environment. Architects and designers adopt the courtyard concepts for designs in hot tropical climates owing to its unique geometrical characteristics that enable the improvement of airflow required for... More

  Abstract:

  A knot is the joining place between two or more constructive elements in a framework or structure. They have a fundamental importance in the structure, according to their design they will be able to give a geometric configuration or another to the system and will also absorb certain forces or others. Depending on the... More

  Abstract:

  Transformable architecture is totally linked to the study and knowledge of geometry. There are some materials in nature, whose geometric invariants establish equivalent structural behavior regarding the scalar transformations, developing different spatial typologies according to dimensional variation. Auxetic materials are characterized by their negative Poisson’s ratio. The can change their geometric configuration from a line... More

  Abstract:

  During 50 and 60 years, architecture began to experiment new processes of adaptation defining new deployable typologies in the engineering and architecture that had not been experienced until that moment. Transformable forms were developed from the study of geometry. Since then it has been emerged studies of this type by researchers who have continued or... More
