Depuraciones de lo amorfo. Modelaciones morfológicas en base a procesos de crecimiento y fragmentación escalar

Abstract

The article reviews certain possibilities of pre-architectural modeling, derived from the morphological-spatial paradigm coming from the modern tradition in architecture and art, oriented to the liberation of space and the purification of form, based on the regulation of operations and procedures from morphological explorations usually adjacent to the amorphous or irregular forms, which are offered to us by the so-called Complexity theories, characteristic of geometries such as fractals, Chaos theories, iterated systems, pattern languages, scalar fragmentation, deconstruction, modular growth, among others, which have progressively been assimilated or explored in different senses and angles, from architecture, constituting a fertile field of contemporary exploration. Within this framework, a review of cases raised in the School of Architecture of the University of Valparaiso is proposed, discussing and reviewing the implications for morphological modeling as a pedagogical tool and formal exploration.
